Judge to rule
on dropping
indictment
LIVINGSTON (AP) — A judge
will decide by next week whether to
dismiss an aggravated perjury in
dictment against a woman whose la
ther was acquitted in the 1985 slay
ing of a high-school football coach.
State District Judge John Martin
said Tuesday he will rule by April 22
on two defense motions asking the
court to quash the indictment charg
ing Vanessa Fontenot with lying to
support her father’s alibi.
Fontenot, 25, of Channelview, is
scheduled to stand trial May l l.
A Polk County jury in February
1986 acquitted her father, Hurley
Fontenot, of murder charges in the
April 12, 1985, shooting death of
Hull-Daisetta coach Billy Mac Flem
ing.
A Polk County grand jury issued
an aggravated perjury indictment
against Vanessa Fontenot in June
1986, alleging she lied about when
she got a telephone call from her fa
ther on the day of Fleming’s death.

a quilter.
“When I was a little boy, when we
started fussing and fighting, mother
would sit us down and start us cut

laughed Collier. “Oh, girl, I hated it
then. That was real punishment.”
He started to quilt again last year
while he was recovering from heart
bypass surgery.
“It’s hard for a man who is used to
hard work to suddenly Find time on
his hands, so to keep from going
crazy, I picked up quilting again,”
Collier said. “I really appreciate my
mother teaching us how to do it . . .
“While I was recovering from sur

Some student scholarships
affected by tax-reform law
IRS: General living expenses to be taxed
By Robert Morris
Staff Writer
As mandated by the tax-reform
law and as interpreted by the Inter
nal Revenue Service, most university
scholarships, fellowships and grants
over $600 are now taxable.
In general, the new laws will affect
the exclusion a student can take un
der fellowship and scholarship
grants.
The change in the tax law will af
fect the amount above what a stu
dent spends on required fees, re
quired books and supplies, said Lynn
Brown, Texas A&M scholarship ad
ministrator.
Gene Raymond, the IRS contact
representative in Austin, said room
and board and general living ex
penses are not included in the cat
egory of required fees and will be
taxable.
“What they’ve done is to make
more stringent rules on these
awards,” Raymond said. “They’ve
made the amount that you can ex
clude from income narrower.”
The IRS has said that multi-year
scholarships awarded before Aug.
16, 1986, are not taxable for the life
of the award, regardless of when it
was paid.
However, Brown said recent con
tact with the IRS indicates that those
awards are taxable if there are con
ditions for retention or renewal —
such as a student’s grade-point ratio
or enrollment in a specific major.
Most scholarships fall into the re
newable category and will be taxable,
Brown said.
“A student with little in
come is probably going to
feel less of an impact than
a weakhier student. ”
— A&M A ssis ta n t Pro vos t
Lawrence Cress
“We’ve had several interpreta
tions from the IRS, and this is just
the latest we know about it,” she said.
More information is expected later
in the week.
A&M Assistant Provost Lawrence
Cress said students would probably
not he affected to the degree of not
being able to go to school, but the
impact would largely depend on the
individual situation.
“A student with little income is
probably going to feel less ofat
pact than a wealthier student, i 3
said. “If you have a trust
other kinds of interest, andti
added to it, then you couldfe
significant tax burden.
“But it depends on one’s
vidual circumstance — soitst 11
hard to generalize.”
Greg Smith, vice presideK

Senate OKs tuition decrease
EL P^vSO (AP) — Officials from
the University of Texas-El Paso said
Wednesday they welcome a bill
passed by the Texas Senate that
would allow Mexican students to pay
in-state tuition at the school.
The bill, sponsored by state Sen.
Tati Santiesteban, D-El Paso, was
passed 30-0 Tuesday after being
amended to require Mexican stu
dents to show “financial need.”
If approved by the House, the
lower tuition rate would affect only
the University of Texas-El Paso, Sul
Ross University in Alpine, Laredo
State University in Laredo, and Pan
American University at its Edinburg
and Brownsville campuses. Of the
four, UTEP is by far the largest.
“I’m glad we passed this first hur
dle,” said Nancy Strickland, director
of international student services at
UTEP. “People at the state level are
recognizing special needs of the bor
der.”
Out-of-state students must pay
$120 per credit hour at state univer
sities. The bill would allow Mexican
students to pay the in-state fee of
$16 per credit hour.
Since the Mexican peso began its
steady devaluation in 1982, and es
pecially after out-of-state tuition was
for Mexicans
tripled in 1985, the numbered
