CANYON (AP) — The president of West Texas State University said Wednesday that underlying reasons affecting all aspects of education in the state are behind the faculty sen ate’s desire that he be fired. According to a recent survey, fac ulty members favor the dismissal of President Ed Roach because of cost overruns on the new president’s home. Results of the survey showed that 87 percent of the faculty no longer have confidence in Roach, said Don Eaivick, faculty senate pres ident. “f feel I’m speaking for the major ity of the faculty when I say we want a new president,” Envick said Tues day. Roach said Wednesday that he understands the faculty’s anger but he feels it is a result of the strenuous state of Texas education. “I think the uncertainty among faculty members in the state is high,” he said. “A lot of the things they are saying are symbolic of underlying problems with Texas education.” Roach joined the university two years ago after leaving a department head post at Southwest Texas State University. Since coming to WTSU, he has implemented a 16-month planning process to streamline the university and the administration, he said. “We made some changes,” he said. “Whenever you make changes there are winners and losers. A uni versity is not like a business. You can’t just let someone go in a univer sity.” Roach has been under fire since midsummer when he and his wife moved into the new president’s man sion. 1 he campus had been without a president’s home since 1 972. The home originally was bud geted for $494,000, but $991,000 was spent on the 7,801-square foot home. The cost did not include land scaping. Roach said the home would be used for a variety of university f unc tions, including fund raising. On Oct. 91, the Coordinating Board of the Texas College and Uni- versity System voted to disallow $2 1 1,000 of the cost and told regents to repay the sum. Regents have not announced a plan for repaying the funds. Roach said he had made his com ments to the coordinating board about the house and didn’t want to discuss it I m t her. “It certainly was bad timing,” he said of the decision to build the home. Envick said the cost overruns en raged faculty members, who were pruning their budgets to adapt to slate-mandated cuts. “The house sits out there as a kind of symbol — of arrogance,” Envick said. “It has damaged the image of our university and placed doubt in the minds of alumni that we can manage money.” Roach said university alumni and the student senate have voted over whelmingly to endorse his efforts at improving the university. Oilman T. Boone Pickens, presi dent of the board of regents, said Roach certainly doesn’t lack confi dence from the board and criticized the faculty senate for the survey.

HOUS TON (AP) — The ailing economy and tight controls on health care costs are making it harder to provide free medical care to those who cannot af ford to pay, some Houston-area doctors say. Dr. Jorge Pinera put an advertisment in a small local newspaper three years ago telling his patients not to worry if they were unemployed or were without health insurance because they would be treated f ree of charge. Pinera said he still feels that same obligation — but he isn’t repeating his advertisment. “I can’t help all of them,” he said. Pinera said he has no extra money to off set the costs of treating large numbers of poor patients for f ree. The local economy, battered by the oil price collapse, and stringent controls on health care costs instituted by government and business have squeezed excess dollars out of the system. Dr. Betty Stephenson, president of the Harris County Medical Society, said she has decided not to reactivate the society’s “recession-distressed program” for the newly unemployed. The program, which brought Houston na tional recognition in 1989, offered to find doc tors for people who recently lost their jobs and health insurance. “It put a burden on a lot of primary care physi- IV u: difference specialists.’ when von patients ( i.ms. seeing patients who had nevei I valedoctoi in their whole lives,"shesail Houston doctors are having their o cial problems, with some reporting I pr.u i it es at e down b\ as much as 70 |x*i pbenson said in a medical society newslt I hose patients who can pay have becoroi modities worth keeping.
