Associated Press
H.R. “Bum” Bright, former chair-
nan of the Texas A&M Board of
legents was one of 44 Texans on
foroes magazine’s 1985 list of the
iation’s400 richest people.
Despite a downturn in the oil in
dustry, the state ranked third behind
k'ew York and California on the list.
Breathing down the neck of the
list-topper, Wal-Mart discount store
lead Sam Moore Walton, of Benton-
e, ARK., is H. Ross Perot of Dal
las, founder of Electronic Data Sys-
;ms.
Perot missed the top spot by $1
lillion. Still, Perot’s second-place
pot with $1.8 billion is a leap from
otirth on the list last year.
Walton took over as richest of the
jich when Gordon Getty, who last
■ear was worth $4.1 billion, divided
lis family oil trust with other family
hembers leaving him only $950 mil-
The list of America’s rich will ap-
earin Forbes’ Oct. 28 issue, provid-
g portraits of the 400.
Seven Texas oilmen who ap-
eared last year among the Forbes
fell off the list this year as the
etroleum industry suffered
rough another depressed year.
01/8 women who made the list,
o Texas women were rich enough
to come out near the top.
Margaret Hunt Hill, of Dallas,
ho inherited money from her fa-
ler, H.L. Hunt, was Forbes’ fourth
ith$1.4 billion.
A second of H.L. Hunt’s daugh-
I s, Caroline Rose Hunt Schoel-
)pf, 62, was fifth with $1.3 billion.
Nelson Bunker Hunt and William
:rbert Hunt of Dallas did not ap-
ar among Forbes’ billionaires.
;lson Bunker Hunt was worth
00 million, while his brother had a
sled worth of $800 million, accord-
igto the magazine.
Five members of the wealthy Bass
imily of Fort Worth — Perry Rich-
rdson Bass, Sid Richardson Bass,
Idward Perry Bass, Robert Muse
ass and Lee Marshall Bass — were
sled as being worth $600 million
ach.
Bright, majority owner of the Na-
onal Football League’s Dallas Cow-
oys, made the list with $475 million.

Financial aid office to survey
students’ college expenses
By CYNTHIA GAY
Staff Writer
Dear Student, Texas A&M wants
to know how much you’re paying for
your education.
To construct a sample student
budget, the Office of Student Finan
cial Aid today will begin mailing
1,500 students an expense survey.
Director Taft Benson said the sur
vey will target specific areas of the
A&M population, such as students
who are married, medical or veteri
nary oriented, handicapped, living
on or off campus, and members of
the Corps of Cadets.
In other words, the survey will
touch the living expenses of all A&M
students to predict education costs in
the 1986-8/ school year, Benson
said.
Steven Larkin, an administrative
assistant said, “It’s so vitally impor
tant that the students are aware they
need to be accurate and send back
(the surveys) as soon as they can.”
From tnese survey results, A&M
can better estimate students’ needs
for general financial aid, eligibility
for guaranteed student loans, and
stipend amounts for scholarships
and grants, Benson said.
In 1985 the average undergrad
uate resident will spend $5,820 while
the non-resident must meet a $9,060
budget.
This new’ survey will provide even
more specific information, Benson
said.
“The overall (federal gov
ernment) funds that are
available have not in
creased since 1980-81.
The cost of education has
increased each of those
years. ”
— Taft Benson, director
of student financial aid.
Just how specific are these sur
veys?
If a student lives on campus, he’ll
need to figure his dorm dues, laun
dry expenses and refrigerator rental
while the off-campus student must
calculate his furniture rental costs
and school club dues.
In addition, all students will wrack
their brains to estimate how much
they spend eating out, watching ca
ble TV and meeting the monthly
phone bill.
To contact on-campus students,
the Residence Hall Association will
give resident advisers a total of 400
surveys, Larkin said. The surveys
must be returned by Oct. 28.
The financial aid office also is
Questioning 1,000 off-campus stu
dents and 100 cadets.

No one ever thinks they’ll get caught steal
ing cable programs. But Texas has a new
law that cracks down on cable theft. If
you’re receiving cable programs and not
paying for them, the penalty is up to
§1,000 fine and 6 months in jail.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
Call us before November 2 and avoid ar
rest and prosecution later.

dents is a first for the Office of Fi
nancial Aid, Larkin said.
Some of these students must pay
for attendants or special tape re
corders, he said, resulting in a
unique financial burden.
A&M’s many departments also
have a survey coming their way,
Benson said, because students in
particular majors must pay for pro
ject materials or meet technical ex
penses.
Most of the funds allocated to the
financial aid office come from the
federal government, Benson said.
“The overall (federal govern
ment) funds that are available have
not increased since 1980-81,” Ben
son said.
“The cost of education has in
creased each of those years.”
The state government is the sec
ond greatest supplier of student
grants and loans, Benson said, fol
lowed by private lending groups
such as savings and loan associations.
He said the Hinson-Hazelwood
agency, which is under the state
Coorainating Board, serves as a
lender of last resort to students.
This week financial aid represen
tatives are manning a table in the
Memorial Student Center to publi
cize the Nov. 1 deadline for guar
anteed student loan applications.
Counselors also will be on hand to
inform students about their financial
opportunities.
