State leaders Warped
disagree on
how to spend
oil revenue
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas received
more than $424 million from the
federal government Monday, but
state officials disagreed about how to
spend it.
Although Comptroller Bob Bul
lock directed Treasurer Ann Rich
ards to split the money between two
funds that aid public schools — the
Available University Fund and the
Permanent University Fund, but
Richards is waiting for an official
OK from the attorney general.
The money — totaling
$424,868,484 — is the state’s share
of a settlement with the federal gov
ernment over oil revenues from the
Gulf of Mexico.
According to Attorney General
Jim Mattox, “The $424 million ends
a long battle with the federal govern
ment over a state’s right to revenue
from oil and gas produced along the
boundary between state and federal
coastal waters in the Gulf.”
Mattox said his staff is working on
a legal opinion as to where the
money should go. Some officials say
it should go to schools, while others
said the Legislature should decide.
Earlier this money, Lt. Gov. Bill
Hobby and House Speaker Gib Le
wis said the money should go into
the state’s general revenue fund un
til the 1987 Legislature can decide
how the money is to be used.
On Monday, Bullock told Rich
ards to split the money between the
two public school funds.
But Richards, citing Mattox’s ad
vice, deposited the money in the
state’s general revenue fund until
the legal research is f inished.

University Drive to be widened in ’87
By Craig Renfro
Staff Writer
If you think University Drive can’t
handle its traffic flow, help is on the
way. It will be widened from four to
six lanes beginning in spring 1987.
According to Carol Ziegler, dis
trict engineer for Bryan, the
$985,000 project also will provide
for a new riding surface and a con
tinuous left turn lane from Texas
Avenue to Wellborn Road.
Moffatt Adams, chief architect for
the»,Texas A&M University, System,
said the state will pay for everything
except the installation of a new curb
and gutter. These costs will be split
between A&M and the city of Col
lege Station, Adams said.
The project is scheduled for com
pletion by the spring 1988, he said.
Adams said the project will widen
University Drive on the campus side
of the road. All angle parking along
University Drive will be eliminated
to make room for the project, he
said.
Planning for the project is in the
preliminary stages, and the Univer
sity’s budget for the project has not
been determined; Adams said.
... I..,-,
He said the project will help alle
viate traffic problems and, when the
parking garage is completed in the
summer 1988, it will give traffic eas
ier access to the garage.
"It will give us an extra lane to
come out of from the parking gara
ge,” Adams said. “That should speed
the flow of traffic up.”
Ziegler said one reason for the
widening project is to increase safety
standards. Ziegler said the project
will not decrease traffic any, but the
installation of safety lights and traf
fic signals will make it safer.
Ziegler said the project was just
approved and many details need to
be worked out with the city and the
University.
“Intersection details and width re
quirements are just a few of the
things to be worked out,” he said.
David Pullen, College Suk®
f ; in eel . said the project is in lk#
iminai \ design stage.
“We are working with them
way department and Facililieii®|
ning and Construction (oncaijj
in conjunction with the parlirij
rage project,’’ Pullen said.
