One in 10 women in the United
States will be diagnosed with breast
cancer in her lif'etune.
To combat this disease, doctors
and health professionals are launch
ing a 1987 Texas Breast Screening
Project, devised to provide low-cost
mammograms and promote early
detection as the best weapon against
cancer.
A mammogram is a low-dose X-
ray of the breast that can detect can
cerous tumors too small to be felt by
an examiner.
Many women, however, are hesi
tant to get a mammogram, said Tim
Eisner, public information director
of the American Cancer Society. Ma
jor deterrents include fear of radia
tion, lack of information and high
cost, Eisner said.
In an effort to reduce the high
cost and inform women of the mam
mogram screening benefits, KBTX-
TV of Bryan and Dean Witter Rey
nolds Inc. will sponsor an informa
tional series on the Channel 3 news
March 2-6, while local hospitals and
clinics are working to offer mammo
grams at $50 or less.

Screening mammograms are very
useful and sometimes lifesaving, but
aren’t covered by most insurance
plans, the ACS said.
A local insurance agent said, “We
don’t cover preventative care. Any
time you go to a physician with a
problem, then that’s covered.”
A Dallas representative of a na
tional insurance company added, “If
it’s not medically necessary, we don’t
cover it. But how do you determine
that? If it’s through a doctor’s care,
then we cover it.”
The ACS suggests screening
mammograms for women at about
age 35. This provides a “baseline” to
which future mammograms can be
compared. Annual mammograms
are encouraged for women over 50.
“The American Cancer Society
hopes to create an awareness so
women will become conscious con
sumers,” Eisner said. “We hope to
do for the mammogram what the
Society was able to accomplish in the
1960s by alerting women to the Pap
tests.”
Clements’ budget plans
knocked by state officials
AUSTIN (AP) — Lt. Gov. Bill
Hobby and House Speaker Gib Le
wis said Tuesday that Gov. Bill
Clements’ proposed budget could
hurt the poor while failing to solve
the state’s fiscal dilemma.
“It’s a little short on adding up,”
Lewis said before meeting with
Clements.
Asked if Clements’ numbers add
up to a solution, Hobby said, “No,
they certainly don’t. You’ve seen the
(Legislative) Budget Board analysis,
I’m sure.”
to stand firm on his promise to veto
any budget above $36.9 billion.
The Clements plan includes con
tinuation of the current temporary
increases in the state sales and gaso
line taxes. Hobby and Lewis are talk
ing about more sweeping changes in
state taxes.
It adds up to the sort of legislative
deadlock that some lawmakers have
predicted will mean several summer
special sessions to write the budget.
The following were reported
to the University Police Depart
ment from Feb. 2 through Sun
