TDC can’t cut budget
full 13%, official says
Associated Press
PALESTINE, Texas — The
Texas Department of Corrections
will only be able to comply with
about half of the 13 percent budget
cuts requested by Gov. Mark White,
prison board chairman Alfred
Hughes said Monday.
“This is a little different from
other agencies,” Hughes said.
“Much of our funds are not discre
tionary. We’ve still got to feed in
mates.”
Hughes, speaking during a meet
ing of the Texas Board of Correc
tions, said the budget cuts for his de
partment are still undergoing
scrutiny and no decisions will be
made for a couple of weeks. He said
a special board meeting likely will be
held next to approve the final cuts.
White has ordered all state agen
cies to trim 13 percent of their bud
get in light of the state’s oil-related
economic problems.
James Lynaugh, deputy correc
tions director for finance, said the
department already has put a tem
porary halt to promotions, transfers,
rehiring and all hiring except for
“critical positions,” such as medical
staff and corrections officers.
In addition, he said, all capital
purchases have been stopped, out-
of-state travel must have prior ap
proval and department-paid mileage
for personal car use has been halted
to encourage use of TDC-owned ve
hicles.
“We need to finish an entire re
view before we make decisons (on
the overall budget), Lynaugh said.
“In the meantime, we’re attempt
ing to enforce the governor’s order,”
he said. “We’ll do the best we can.
But we will not impair TDC in re
gards to court commitment and
health and safety.”
The department is under a court
order to improve living conditions
for inmates and to construct new fa
cilities.
Items that were eliminated, he
said, include a new department ad-
minstration building and projects
like parking lots.
Hughes also said the department
would not attempt to renegotiate the
federal court agreement in hopes of
trimming costs.
MSC budget not reduced
(continued from page 1)
Students are no longer coming
mainly from rural areas, he said, and
country music is no longer the most
popular choice on campus.
More choices are available now,
he said, in College Station and also
in cities like Houston, Austin and
Dallas. Students would rather see
the bigger shows in better facilities
and spend the extra money, Rey
nolds said.
Because of this, he said the key
phrase to improving the financial sit
uations of Town Hall and other
committees with similar problems is
“marketing environment,” which the
Council must strive to gauge more
effectively.
NASA still looking for remains
(continued from page 1)
mains of all seven had been located.
They said recovered body parts had
been taken to a hospital at Patrick
Air Force Base, 25 miles south of
here, where they were examined
Monday by forensic experts from
the Armed Forces Institute of Pa
thology.
The condition of the bodies was
not known by the sources, but they
said “we’re talking about remains,
not bodies.”
Those killed in the accident were
commander Richard Scobee, pilot
Michael Smith, Judith Resnik, Elli
son Onizuka, Ronald McNair, Gre
gory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe, a
New Hampshire schoolteacher.
The sources also reported several
of the crew member’s private effects
had been recovered, including per
sonal tape recorders on which they
had planned to record their impres
sions of the flight.
The examinations were not only
for identification, but also could
help determine the cause of death.
The exact causes might be diffi
cult to find because the bodies have
been in the water for six weeks and
may have been the victims of sea
scavengers.
Representatives not in red
(continued from page 1)
Texas’ newest member, Jim Chap
man of Sulphur Springs. Chapman,
a Democrat, won a special election
last year when Sam B. Hall Jr. left to
become a federal judge.
Chapman, who has no opposition
this year, reported cash-on-hand of
$16,955.
Special-interest contributors gave
the most money of the Texas dele
gation to Dallas Democrat Martin
Frost, who serves on two powerful
House committees. Rules and Bud
get.
Frost reported receiving $147,350
from political action committees in
1985, the bulk of it, $102,225, dur
ing the second half of the year.

In second place in PAC contribu
tions was freshman Republican Mac
Sweeney of Wharton, who defeated
Democrat Bill Patman ' in 1984,
though he had to rack up a large
debt to do it.
By the end of 1985, Sweeney re
ported his campaign was in the black
with $40,060 after receiving help
from PACs to the tune of $ 104,550.
Sweeney, who serves on the
House Armed Services Committee,
reported raising a total of $397,910
in 1985.
Wright reported only $8,311 in
his campaign coffers. Two Republi
cans and a Democrat are seeking to
unseat Wright, the leading candi
date to succeed Thomas P. O’Neill of
Massachusetts as House speaker in
1987.
UT acquires collection worth
over $4 million for $900,000
AUSTIN — University of Texas
officials announced Monday that the
school has acquired for $900,()()() a
collection of materials showing what
life was really like in the Old South
from 1780 to 1900.
Historian Dr. George Wright of
UT-Austin said no “serious student
will be able to fully comprehend and
write about slavery” without doing
research in the Natchez Trace Col
lection.
The collection has been appraised
at more than $4 million. Don Carle-
ton, director of UT-Austin’s Barker
Texas History Center, said the anon
ymous owner of (he collection do
nated the portion not covered by the
$900,000.
T he name of the collection is de
rived from the Natchez Trace, an
Indian trail between Nashville,
Tenn., and Natchez, Miss.
“Without question this collection
— perhaps better than almost an)
collection in existence anywhere -
documents the daily lives of Afro-
Americans, first under slavery and
then in the post-bellum period,
Wright said.

WHAT IS A SLIPPED DISC?
Slipped disc is a stock phrase that people use for almost every back pain. Actually, the term
is incrrect because a disc does not slip or go out of place. There are three types of disc prob
lems that develop: degenerative disc; protruded disc; and ruptured disc. An actual rupture ac
counts for less than 2% of the most severe cases.
Chiropractors have the special knowledge, training and skill needed to eliminate the causes
of hack pain in more than 95% of the common hack pain problems. C’hiroprrictic is safe, painless
and free from any side effects. Don’t suffer needlessly any longer. See your Chiropractor.
