A&M employees,
don’t lose your
right to choose!
Traditional medical insurance offers one key
advantage no clinic-based HMO can match
— freedom of choice.
Joining an HMO means surrendering the right
to choose your own doctor from among ail the
physicians in an area. Since clinic-based HMOs
pay only for visits to physicians employed by
the HMO, joining such a health plan signifi
cantly restricts your access to the community's
full spectrum of health care providers.
The same is true of hospitals. Clinic-based
HMOs pay for hospitalization only at participat
ing hospitals. So your ability to seek cancer
therapy at Houston's M.D. Anderson Hospital,
or cardiac surgery at St. Luke's, is similarly re
stricted.
Add to those limitations the loss of all dental
coverage and most psychiatric benefits, and
the true cost of HMO participation becomes
apparent.
Before you abandon your proven medical
insurance for the latest trend in health care
delivery, be sure you know all the facts.

A&M to dedicate new alumni center
The Clayton W. Williams Jr.
Alumni Center will be dedicated
10 a.m. Saturday at the plaza in
front of the building on the cor
ner of Jersey and Houston
streets.
Williams, Class of ’54 and
owner of ClayDesta Communica
tions, contributed $2.5 million for
the $7 million center that has
been under construction since
March 1984.
Williams is scheduled to speak
at the ceremony along with Presi
dent Frank E. Vandiver and W.
Mike Baggett, Class of ’68 and
president of the Texas A&rM As
sociation of Former Students. Da
vid Eller, chairman of the A&M
Board of Regents, also will speak.
Jim Jeter, associate executive
director of the former students’
association, encourages everyone
to attend and enjoy refreshments
and tours of the building until
gametime at 7 p.m.
The 60,000-square-foot build
ing houses offices, conference
rooms, the Glitsch Library, Aggie
ring collection and the Great
Hall, a large reception area.
Jeter said the alumni center is
the largest of its kind in the coun
try and probably the most taste
fully decorated.
The building is decorated in
marble, granite, brass, mahogany
and other fine woods. Many of
the materials and furniture were
donated or made by the Universi
ty’s more than 130,000-strong
alumni association.
Officials in Austin sign
tentative agreement
3 with power company
AUSTIN (AP) — The city of Aus
tin and Houston Lighting & Power
Co. signed a tentative agreement
Thursday in which the city’s 16 per
cent share of the South Texas Nu
clear Project would be swapped to
the utility company.
In return, Austin would get about
$63 million and power from an
HL&P coal-fueled electricity plant in
Limestone County. The agreement
requires the city to drop its lawsuit
against the company.
Austinites voted in 1981 to get rid
of the city’s share of the overdue and
overbudget plant under construc
tion near Bay City.
“The most important part of this
agreement is the fact that we are get
ting 400 megawatts of power, which
is exactly what we had counted on
getting out of the South Texas Nu
clear Project,” Mayor Frank Cooksey
said after the city council approved
what he called a “conceptual frame
work” for a final agreement.
“The next valuable asset we’re
getting, which is a very difficult
thing to calculate, is the advantage
that we’ll have from being out of the
project,” Cooksey said.
HL&P is the managing partner
for the project. Austin, San Antonio
and Central Power & Light Co. of
Corpus Christi are the other part
ners. Austin’s lawsuit claims HL&P
has mismanaged the plant.
The tentative agreement is subject
to approval from the other partners,
the Texas Public Utility Commission
and the federal Nuclear Regulatory
Commission. Cooksey said Austin
and HL&P also have final details to
work out.
In addition to the swap of Austin’s
interest in the STNP for the share of
the Limestone plan and the city’s
promise to drop the lawsuit, terms of
the tentative agreement include:
• HL&P would assume Austin’s
STNP payments, which now total
$2.5 million a week. The company
also would pay the city $19.7 million
to cover construction costs incurred
during negotiations and $30 million
for Austin’s nuclear fuel.
• Austin would assume propor
tionate costs of operating the Lime
stone County plant.
• HL&P would pay Austin $12
million to cover the city’s legal costs
in the pending lawsuit.
• Austin would refrain from “any
negative actions related to the licens
ability and public reputation and in
tegrity” of the plant.
In Houston, HL&P Chairman
Don Jordan called the agreement a
good one for both sides.
“It gives the city of Austin the op
portunity to get out of the nuclear
investment in South Texas, which is
something they’ve long wanted to
do,” he said. “It gives us the oppor
tunity to provide for our customers
400 megawatts of additional capacity
using low-cost nuclear fuel. We be
lieve that it will work out to be a situ
ation where our customers will bene
fit in the amount of over $1 billion
over the life that plant in cheaper
electric service costs.”
According to Hugh Rice Kelly, an
HL&P attorney, Austin has about
$760 million invested in the plant.
The city will get cash and electricity
worth $600 million to $700 million
under the tentative agreement, he
said. The total cost of the plant will
be $5.5 billion, Jordan said.
Organizers choose Houston
for first presidential debate
HOUSTON (AP) — The pro
ducer of the first scheduled Republi
can presidential candidate debate
said Thursday that the event would
be held in Houston’s new George R.
Brown Convention Center.
Warren Steibel of New York, pro
ducer of “Firing Line,” the public
television show sponsoring the de
bate, said negotiations on the site
were completed Wednesday.
All six 1988 GOP presidential as
pirants have agreed to the appear
ance.
It will be aired nationwide Octo
ber 28 through the Public Broad
casting Service, he said.
“It will definitely be in Houston
and we are delighted,” Steibel said.
Steibel met Wednesday with rep
resentatives of the city and J.I. Case
Co., which already has contracted
for use of the center that day, but
readily agreed to allow use of an au
ditorium in the building for the de
bate.
The producer said he had been
leaning toward Jones Hall as the de
bate site but was convinced by some
civic leaders to showcase the Brown
Center, which will open September
26.
The debate stirred controversy re
cently when Vice President George
Bush declined to participate in his
hometown, with his strategists claim
ing the debate was too early.
Bush later relented.
Bush’s oponents had criticized
him, claiming the vice president was
trying to delay the first debate to en
hance his position as front-runner.
The debate has been rescheduled
twice, most recently at the request of
Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas.
