Page 4/The Battalion/Friday, October 17, 1986 Wine operation managed by UT, Bank of America AUSTIN (AP) — The University of Texas and the Bank of America have taken over operation of the Ste. Genevieve winery in West Texas while the school and bank look for a new operator for the facility, according to a university attorney. The university canceled the winery’s lease Oct. 7, said W.O. Schultz, UT’s associate general counsel. The winery, the largest in Texas, operates on 1,000 acres of university land in Pecos County. It had projected sales of 150,000 cases of wine in 1986. The winery, which began shipping wine in the sum mer of 1985, sells a variety of wines under the Ste. Gen evieve label. Schultz did not say why the university terminated the 30-year lease, which also had a 30-year renewal option. The Bank of America has repossessed Ste. Gene vieve’s wine-making facility, Schultz said. The $15 mil lion winery was completed in 1985. The company has placed current production capabi lities at more than 500,000 cases a year. “The Bank of America loaned them the money to build the winery and to purchase equipment,” Schultz said. GMAT study guide omits section By Dawn Butz Staff Writer A printing error in the candidate bulletin of the Graduate Management Admission Test may surprise MBA candidates taking the test Saturday. The analysis of situation section, normally included on the test, inadvertently was left out of the area of the booklet that describes the exam questions. Although the Educational Testing Service, the com pany which develops and administers the test, has taken steps to correct the error, the director of a Cali fornia research organization is worried that candidates won’t take the section seriously, mistaking it for a sam ple section. David M. White, director of Testing for the Public, said he believes the impact of this error will be reflected in the scores. The candidate bulletin, sent by the ETS to the stu dents considering taking the test, contains a description of the test, the types of questions found on it, and sam ple questions and answers. Texas A&M’s testing coordinator, Karlease Kelly, said her deparment has not been informed of the er ror. But she said she feels ETS is the kind of organization that would cancel the test if the problem was serious enough to cause a disparity in the test scores. Included in the bulletin instead of the analysis of sit uation section is a series of logical reasoning questions — a sample section which is being pretested as a possi ble replacement for the analysis situation. White said, “For people who rely on that (bulletin) for their information about the test, they are under the impression that the analysis situation wasn’t going to be on the test.” But an ETS spokesman said the instructions for the analysis of situation section were printed on a small flier and mailed to all candidates. “The flier explained that the questions had been left out of the bulletin and gave the sample questions, the answers and the directions,” said Tom Ewing, spokes man for the ETS. “Every student who registered for the exam got their admission ticket in the mail. “The flier was wrapped around their admission ticket. They can’t get to their admission ticket unless they open the flier.” However, White said students can receive these ad mission tickets as late as three days before the test, and walk-in candidates won’t get the information. He also said some students have not found these notices with their admission tickets. White said he believes there was a wide disparity of preparation for the section, and that this will be re flected in peoples’ scores. “I really think that this confusion should cause a lot of admission officers to re-evaluate the value of this test,” White said. “This year there are going to'be a lot of people taking it under dif ferent conditions of under standing about what’s on the test, and thecoachii vantage will be even bigger than usual.” Kelly said she feels that regardless of the niiij most people taking the test will take every sectitt riously. White said lie believes this will be the last year analysis of situation section because of criticism the possible coat liability of the questions. “It’s my understanding that the analysis of sit^ section will only be on the GMAT until June,"lies. No one was available at the ETS for commento; coac liability of the test. In regal'd to the coachability of the exam, Kelj the E I S says the tests aren’t too coachable. "But of course, the longer time you spend prejm for a test, the more you will improve," she said.’Ij is the biggest factor.” She said she doesn’t advocate either approadt feels the individual must decide what w him.

He said he believesj sions of fices should reevaluate their use of thetea "It’s supposed to be an indication of your aft perform in the first year of business school,andlii it’s clear that it’s only an indication of your 11 perf orm well on a standardized test,” he said. Kelly said she would be surprised if A&Mdmti the GMAT as a requirement. Senate action on immigration bill stalled after Gramm objections WASHINGTON (AP) — An im migration bill, ready for final con gressional action after years of dead lock, was delayed Thursday night by a Senate filibuster on a catchall spending measure. The long-stalled immigration leg islation, designed to help the United States regain control of its borders, was called up for debate Thursday afternoon after President Reagan gave it a qualified endorsement. But the bill was pulled off the floor after Sen. Phil Gramm, R- Texas, launched a lengthy tirade against provisions legalizing millions of illegal aliens. The Senate then be gan debate on the pressing money bill, which turned into a filibuster. Gramm attacked the amnesty pro gram as unfair to 1.9 million current applicants for residency, who “sought to come through legitimate channels to wait for years, to hope and pray for the opportunity to come to America.” Sen. Alan K. Simpson, R-Wyo., chief Senate sponsor of the measure, said after a White House meeting Thursday morning that Reagan was “very supportive” of the bill.
