Resignation is loss
(continued from page 1)
Italy, an important NATO ally.
“We all have been trying to show
terrorists can’t achieve anything by
what they do.” said Helmut Sonnen-
feldt, a former senior Nixon admin
istration official who is now a guest
scholar at the Brookings Institution
here. “The terrorists didn’t intend to
overthrow the Italian government,
but it is unfortunate that a terrorist
incident can have an effect of this
magnitude.”
Sonnenfeldt said the Craxi gov
ernment “has been on the whole a
very good and effective government
from an American standpoint and a
NATO standpoint. To lose this gov
ernment is a setback.”
The consequences of the Achille
Lauro hijacking, including the
American seizing of an Egyptian air
craft carrying the Ileeing hijackers,
continue to grow. Most of the posi
tive gains were immediately appar
ent.
Not the least of the positive gains
is a feeling by Americans that after
years of painful losses to terrorists,
the national pride has finally been
upheld with the capture of the ac
cused murderers of 69-year-old
Leon Klinghoffer.
In addition, the capture of tbe hi
jackers showed an American
firmness and level of technological
expertise that will improve the na
tion’s ability to deal with future ter
rorist attacks, experts say.
The already close bonds between
the United States and Israel may be
strengthened even more, as Israeli
leaders believe their rejection of the
Palestine Liberation Organization as
a terrorist group has been vindi
cated.
On the negative side, the fall of
the Italian government becomes a
major loss. In its current issue, the
Economist newspaper of London
said the pro-Western Craxi had
given Italy one of its most stable and
prosperous governments since
World W'ar II and “could be remem
bered as the man who changed his
country.”
Another setback is friction in rela
tions with Egypt, which has long
been the United States’ chief Arab
ally.
The fall of Premier Craxi
stemmed from a decision to release a
suspected terrorist, Mohammed Ab
bas, who was accused by the Reagan
administration of planning the hi
jacking.”
Italian Defense Minister Giovanni
Spadolini withdrew from the Craxi
government coalition — to protest
the handling of the Abbas matter —
causing the government’s collapse.
Mini-Olympics grows
(continued from page 1)
games, Desai said she hopes to keep
good records of all the events.
This year, 20 clubs representing
different countries and areas have
registered. Last year 17 groups par
ticipated.
This will be the first time a prize
will be given for overall team perfor
mance. A rotating trophy will be
awarded to the team with the highest
point total.
The games will be held at Kyle
Field and the indoor swimming pool
this weekend and Oct. 26 and 27.
PUF effects discussed
(continued from page 1)
est earned by their portions of the
fund, Payne says. He adds that the
legality of that legislative action is
still in question. PUF schools have al
ways been able to keep interest earn
ings.
“The non-PUF schools have a sig
nificant concern that the state of
Texas is moving toward creating
three levels of funding,” Payne says.
“The top level is UT and A&M. The
next level is all the rest of the PUF
schools, and the third level is the
non-PUF schools. If the boards of
regents use interest earnings to sub
sidize the operations of the non-cen
tral campuses, I think that this will
become an issue.
“All state institutions get a bien
nial budget, the difference is that
UT and A&rM are able to subsidize
that budget in any area with the
AUF. So if they have a particular
problem in an area, UT and A&M
can solve that problem by using the
AUF, in addition to using it for aca
demic enrichment.”
The Legislature appropriated
about $10 million of trie fund for
Texas Southern University, the
Texas Tech Universtity Health Sci
ence Center and the Texas College
of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort
Worth. John Alexander, associate
vice president for planning and bud
geting at the University of Houston,
says that the remaining $90 million
is distributed among the non-PUF
state schools based on three criteria:
• Review by an independent con
sultant of the major repair needs of
the universities.
• Measure of the classroom space
per student at each university.
• Calculation of a campus for
mula based on the complexity of
programs at each university.
A joint committee of university
presidents and coordinating boards
makes recommendations to the Leg
islature based on these criteria, Alex
ander says. The Legislature ap
proved all the recommendations this
year. The amount of money calcu
lated for each institution is allocated
for each of the next five years, he
says, and then the allocation process
will be reviewed.
The University of Houston is re
ceiving $15.7 million from the fund,
he says. $1 million has been ear
marked for computer purchases and
$500,000 for research, Alexander
says. UH is planning a new class
room building and some land acqui
sitions at its University Park campus
and new classroom and office facili
ties at its downtown campus. About
half of the money will go to debt
service payments on bonds that the
university sells using the fund as col
lateral, he says.
Proposition 2 has provided a
steady source of flexible income
which has allowed UH to start mak
ing long-term development plans,
Alexander says.
Payne says, “The proposition pro-
video some flexibility and some sup
port for new equipment and library
books that was not there before (pas
sage of Proposition 2), v even when we
had the ad valorem tax."
Texas Tech is getting $10.6 mil
lion from the fund, he says. Four
percent goes for buying library
books, 39 percent for major repairs
and renovations and some construc
tion, 30 percent for equipment and
27 percent to make up for cuts in
stale library and DOE allocations.
“The biggest benefits (of Proposi
tion 2) have been the ability to re
place the funds that were lost
through the demise of the ad val
orem fund and the opportunity to
do some long-range planning,”
Payne says.
Texas is in a battle of economic
development with the other states,
he says. The quality of higher educa
tion is at the forefront of. this battle
to attract business.
“If Texas doesn’t adequately sup
port improvements in higher educa
tion, then we’re going to lose the bat
tle,” Payne says. “If the funding for
higher education in general doesn’t
improve and our state revenues con
tinue to dwindle, all schools will suf
fer in the battle. We are all going to
lose valuable faculty, resources and
research.”
To avoid major cuts in higher ed
ucation, he says, the Legislature will
have to make some adjustments in
tax revenue because oil and gas reve
nues have peaked and are going
down. These revenues supported
higher education in the past, Payne
says.
