Wednesday, January 21,1987AThe Battalion/Page 13 ules proposed for aliens seeking amnesty l$|( WASHINGTON (AP) — The Reagan admin- ^tion on Tuesday proposed strict continuous- C!. sidency requirements for illegal aliens applying | I ysr amnesty, including one that would limit ab- '■es from this country in recent years to 30 Hat a time. Tne tentative residency rules are among a se- Hof proposals being circulated for informal iminent by the Immigration and Naturalization E. *1“ ‘‘ndaHogether, the proposed rules provide the hesj comprehensive look yet at how the INS Amm-. Ians to enforce the landmark immigration law 'Mint ^proved last year. aircrsitlnder one provision, U.S. citizens as well as aliens applying for jobs would have to complete forms and provide documents showing they were legal residents and eligible to work in this coun try. In releasing the rules, the INS followed an un usual procedure that made public a draft copy of the proposals. Normally, such rules become public when ten tative regulations are published in the Federal Register — an action not scheduled until the end of February by the INS. “We are taking this unprecedented step to per mit as much public input as possible to ensure that the new legislation will be implemented ef fectively, fairly and in an orderly manner,” INS Commissioner Alan C. Nelson said. He said final rules are expected in mid-April, just weeks before the May 5 starting date for the INS to receive amnesty applications from illegal aliens in the country since before Jan. 1, 1982. The proposals also cover operation of the sec ond major provision of the law: penalties for em ployers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Sanctions begin June 1, but first offenders will receive only warnings for the first year. The residency rules attempt to deal with illegal aliens who have made trips back and forth across the border. When an application is denied, the alien will have a right to appeal within 15 days and can submit new evidence during that process. ;*ran claims high casualties J Iraq, civilian city struck ii 2.i’ i| atthejlran said Tuesday its invasion tcoll rc| killed or wounded 1,500 Iraqi n ihtJd|t‘rs in fighting near Basra, pro- Htl capital of southern Iraq.

It claimed 1,500 Iraqis were killed or wounded, bringing the Iranian claim of total enemy casualties to 31,500 since Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s government launched a thrust across the Shatt-al-Arab bor der waterway Jan. 9. According to the dispatches from Iran, shelling by its artillery hit a pe trochemical complex in Basra and several storage tanks exploded, spreading toxic gas in the area. In its reports contradicting the Iranian claims, Iraq’s agency quoted government sources as saying: “The Iranian military machine is on the verge of comprehensive and com plete collapse.” The fall of Basra, Iraq’s second- largest city with a population of a million people before the Iranian in vasion, would be a major blow to President Saddam Hussein’s govern ment. In Washington, a Reagan admin istration official confirmed “fierce fighting” near the city. in Du: lor ini i, said, I nd looli leces ii Blacks ci ■as then 1 lervalwc hen. lti( ,n mar - and f« ndjapa 0SC OSS Dow titi he 12tM ? sofl2»| t 16 ;h Dec -1 ndicatoj dlyN ■ (Continued from page I) admission program in the sum mer, and, if the students perform satisfactorily in coursework, they are allowed to continue studying here. ■ School Relations counselors also review the academic achieve ments and awards of the nomi nees as well as their extracurricu- lai activities to see how well- rounded they are. ■ Davis says offers to students go out in December, and his office takes into account that some stu dents will not accept. For in stance, in 1985-86, 425 schol arships were offered but only 278 students accepted. ■The University allotted $ 1,420,000 for President’s Achievement Awards in 1986-87, enough funds for 710 stipends per semester. These awards are allocated equally between black and Hispanic recipients. Relations coordinates scholarships with other depart ments and Student Financial Aid to ensure that students have enough money to get through college. Davis says School Rela tions tries not to get into a stack ing situation with University scholarships but that the students are encouraged to apply for fi nancial aid and for awards in their own communities or nation ally. t Student Financial Aid reports that 383 of the 780 blacks at A&M received University-sponsored academic scholarships — not nec essarily for the first time — in Fall 1986. University scholarships also were awarded to 701 Hispanics and 5,283 whites in Fall 1986. Davis says if the University in creased the number of schol arships awarded to minorities, it would pay off in the long run. “We have to make it even more attractive, so we can continue to attract the quality student who will graduate from here,” he says. “The more black graduates we have, the more students we’ll have attending without even hav ing to offer scholarships . . . be cause if a student has a good ex perience here, he’ll be more open to recommending it to someone else — a friend, a parent, a cousin, an aunt.” MEW LOOK THE SHAPE OP THINGS Hair Styling Salon for Men and Woman ,,6# Perm Special $27.50 ’err# he Perf Coupon Good Until Oct. 11, 1986 US 4417 Texas Ave. South (next to Fajita Rita’s) Cut Included 846-7614 Finals (Continued from page 1) ter, the proposal suggested that graduating seniors take their exams during what is now dead week. The rest of the student body would take exams Monday through Friday of the next week, as usual. Vandiver, who has final approval power over University policy, made major changes in the reccommenda- lions given him by the academic cal endar subcommittee. “As the record of discussion and debate on this issue shows, no plan is completely satisfactory to all inter ested parties,” said Vandiver’s letter, which was addressed to Dr. Sam Black, speaker of the Faculty Senate. “I believe that this final plan will be acceptable to most,” the letter said. But Jerry Dingmore, a spokesman for the Student Senate, disagreed. Dingmore, a member of the cal endar subcommittee, said he had been under the impression that the subcommittee had reached a work able compromise. He felt that the Student Senate’s views were not taken into account in the final deci sion. “We assumed, when we went into this task, that we had all bodies rep resented,” Dingmore said Tuesday. “We weighed the two plans evenly. Our plan gave the registrar more time to get the grades through the automatic degree audit and check them; it gave more time for the stu dents to check them.” Vandiver was not available for comment Tuesday. Dr. Leonard Ponder, deputy speaker of the Faculty Senate, said: “I think the Faculty Senate sees the Ruling compromise as a workable one.” Dr. Robert Chenoweth, an assis tant dean in the College of Engi neering, is the chairman of the cal endar subcommittee. He said Tuesday he had not heard of Van diver’s changes except through sto ries he had read in local newspapers. “I haven’t gotten anything offi cial,” he said. “I read the Eagle arti cle very briefly, so I don’t think I can comment.” Dingmore complained about the loss of a day of class. “The graduating senior class is just 10 percent of the entire student body,” Dingmore said, “and we (the calendar committee) couldn’t see taking a school day out for the rest of the entire student body.” Ponder said he believes the day will be taken into account in schedul ing of classes during dead week. “I’m not sure exactly what the president has in mind,” Ponder said, “but . . . when the final tests start, classes will be over. Thursday will be the last day of classes.” Dingmore complained that the Student Senate was not called to vote on the proposal, while the Faculty Senate did vote on it. He said he be lieves the interests of the Faculty Senate played more of a part in the president’s decision than the inter ests of the students. “Vandiver did not ask the advice of the subcommittee, he did not ask the advice of the students,” Ding more said, “and that’s his preroga tive, but I don’t think it was a good decision. “We (the students) were affected by this as much or more so than the faculty were. So why don’t we get to have a say?” (Continued from page 1) going to see this thing unto its con clusion whether it takes six months or a year or whatever.” Regardless of the outcome, a rul ing on the case may very well be that long in coming. Howard Swindle, assistant manag ing editor/projects for the Dallas Morning News, said that paper, along with Belo Broadcasting Co. — owner of both the Morning News and WFAA-TV (Channel 8) in Dal las — filed two separate lawsuits against the NCAA, the Southwest Conference and all SWC member schools in January 1986, demanding the release of copies of any investiga tions performed by the SWC or NCAA. The Dallas Dimes Herald subsequently joined Belo and the Morning News in the suit. One of the suits was filed in state district court in Dallas County, while the other was filed in federal court in Austin. Some five to six months later, the state district court ruled in favor of the defendants. But federal Judge James Nowlin ruled in favor of the news agencies. Swindle said the defendants have not exhausted all avenues open to them in Nowlin’s court. If and when they do, the case will probably be ap pealed, Swindle said. Thus, the in formation sought has not yet been released.
