Crash hurts
market value
of UT funds
AUSTIN (AP) — The stock mar
ket collapse cut the market value of
University of Texas endowment
funds, but a strong bond market has
helped offset the decline, an official
said.
At the same time, the university
system staff has found some very
sound values in the stock market
since the Oct. 19 crash and is starting
to buy again, Michael Patrick, the
system’s executive vice chancellor
for asset management, said.
The market value of the Perma
nent University Fund, or PUF, and
other endowments managed by the
university has fallen by up to $250
million, or 7 percent, in the past two
weeks, Patrick said.
In September, the funds were
worth about $4 billion, including
$3.4 billion in the PUF, which bene
fits both UT and Texas A&M Uni
versity. The other funds managed
by Patrick’s office contain private
gifts to UT schools.
The investment staff began shift
ing money from the stock market
several months ago, Patrick said.
“We were expecting a correction in
the market, but we didn’t anticipate
the magnitude of it.”
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 508 points to close at 1,738.74 on
Oct. 19. It closed Wednesday at
1,846.82, after a week and a half of
volatile trading. The average has
fallen 32 percent since its all-time
high of 2,722.4 on Aug. 25.
At the time of the crash, about 35
percent of the endowment money
was invested in the stock market, 50
percent in bonds and 15 percent in
cash and short-term investments,
Patrick said.
The steep drop in stock prices in
the past two weeks has created some
bargains, he added.
“We’re carefully starting to buy
again,” Patrick said. “We’re seeing
some important names for our port
folio at prices that we haven’t seen
for two to three years.”

most people have been acting positive to the trashbag

“The general consensus has been good,” she said.
“However, some people say ‘No, I don’t want it, I’ll just
throw it in the trash’ and I’ll say ‘good, that’s what
they’re for.’ ”
Diane Mills, executive coordinator Brazos Beautiful
Inc., came up with the idea for the trashbag handout,
said John Rogers, president of Brazos Beautiful.
Rogers said Brazos Beautiful Inc. sponsors other
programs that promote reducing litter, cleaning up,
and beautifying the county throughout the year. Last
semester Brazos Beautiful help organize the Big Event,
which helped cleanup litter along Texas Avenue.
The county school systems also have been active in
the cleanup Brazos program, Rogers said. The Waste
and Place program is part of the curriculum in kinder
garten through sixth grade, where students learn to
keep waste where it belongs.
