Annual Christmas craft festival
will be today, tomorrow at MSC
By Kim File
Reporter
University Plus will have its
ninth annual craft festival from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Wednes
day at Rudder Fountain.
Wayne Helton, University Plus
supervisor, said all the crafts will
be handmade.
“Everything there will be hand
crafted by the people who are
selling it,” Helton said. “None of
the items will be mass production-
type things that are seen in the
malls or other retail stores.”
Helton said the outdoor festi
val will feature from 50 to 60
craft vendors, primarily from
Texas.
“Most of our vendors come
from surrounding metropolitan
areas,” he said. “A lot come from
the Houston, Fort Worth and
Austin areas.”
Texas A&M senior Susan
Miller said she waits for the festi
val before she starts her
Christmas shopping every year.
“I’ve been able to find the most
unusual gifts,” Miller said.
Helton said prices will vary.
“There will be things below
$5,” he said, “and in the jewelery
areas particularly, you may see
some things priced upwards of
$50. But most vendors, I’m sure,
will be keeping it a litde lower
than that.”
The festival will feature
Christmas speciality craftsmen as
well as those who sell non-sea-
sonal items, he said.
“As far as Christmas things,
you’re going to see a lot of people
offering wreaths and various
handmade decorations for the
Christmas tree and other places,”
he said. “Also, they’ll be offering
folk art items with wooden cut
outs of children’s toys and ani
mals and that sort of thing.”
The majority of the vendors
partcipating, however, are those
specializing in a product line on a
full-time basis, he said.
There will be potters, jewelers
and photographers, among oth
ers.
“This year, we have more of
the serious craftsmen that have a
particular product concentra
tion,” he said. “Shows like ours,
the Renaissance Festival and the
Scarborough Fair provide the
sole source of income for many of
these people.”

UTSA professor
offers ideas
about divorce
Warped
by Scott McCullt
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —- Many
divorce settlements could stop being
family feuds if bickering spouses
and attorneys adopt a new economic
divorce settlement formula, a pro
fessor says.
Keith Fairchild, an economics
professor at the University of Texas
at San Antonio, said his formula
equally divides community property
and future income resulting from
the marriage.
“If there is a net benefit of
$40,000 to the couple (as a result of
their marriage) then I say $20,000 to
each (in the divorce setdement),”
Fairchild said.
Current law provides for the equal
division of property that a couple ac
quires during marriage. When it
comes to future income, however,
few guidelines exist, Fairchild said.

Fairchild said his model ensures
that any benefit or loss resulting
from the marriage, particularly a
change in the earnings potential and
future risks, be shared equally.
“My economic modeling of di
vorce settlements determines what
would be fair in an economic sense,”
he said.
Much of Fairchild’s model deals
with future income flow, he said.
“Generally, what is focused upon
more is where one spouse forgoes
certain career opportunities to help
the other through university, or one
of them gets transferred and the
other has to give up his job, thus set
ting back his career in order to keep
the marriage intact,” Fairchild said.
