Winners of the General Motors
nd the General Motors Acceptance
Corporation $500 scholarship draw
ings were announced by Dr. Malon
Sutherland Wednesday afternoon,
:nding the College Auto Expo on
he A&M campus.
David Baranski, a senior electrical
tngineering technology major from
iryan, won the GM scholarship and
Dana Martin, a junior from Neder-
and, received the GMAC schol-
rship.
Martin said being contacted about
winning was the answer to all her
prayers. “Over spring break I was
going to have to get a loan from my
grandparents,” she said.
The winners became eligible for
the drawing by completing a form at
the Auto Expo. They will receive a
$500 grant toward their tuition.
The number of entries for the
three-day event was estimated to be
over 4,000, which breaks this year’s
record for entries on other cam
puses the expo has visited, GM rep
resentative Hector Tovar said.
Alternates were drawn in case one
of the winners became ineligible.
The alternates were Laura Rabun, a
senior from Menard, and Christian
Chrane, a freshman from Plano.
GM representatives comple
mented the event’s local sponsor, the
Intramural Recreation Department.
“We were really impressed with
the Intramural facilities,” said Ber-
nie Johnston, GM manager of sales
promotion from Detroit.
Before announcing the winners,
Tovar thanked the Scheduling Of
fice, the Intramural Department
and the students who helped with
the event.
The winners will receive their
checks by mail in about four weeks.
ollege staff stung by reneged pledge
: DALLAS (AP) — Bishop College,
stung by a man who reneged on a
'‘300,000 pledge and caught in a
eb of debt, may lose its bankruptcy
ourt protection if it fails to meet its
ayroll Thursday, a federal official
ays.
Levi Watkins, interim president of
he 106-year-old college, said he
on’t know until Thursday if the
ayroll can be met. Faculty and staff
ave gone nearly two months with
utbeing paid.
f ,nV ‘ n h ce£ , Judith Swift, attorney for faculty
ul whe: and staff creditors, said some admin-
:ationhtrators, including Watkins, have
em P-libeen receiving cash advances whde

Watkins told the Associated Press
on Wednesday that was a “line of
propaganda” and a “matter of inter
pretation.”
“I have some emergency cases,
yes,” he said. “Emergencies of evic
tion, loss of home, medicine, yes.
Anybody who works down here and
has an emergency.”
If the college fails to pay faculty
Thursday, the U.S. bankruptcy
trustee may seek action to dismiss
the school’s Chapter 11 reorganiza
tion petition. Such a move would
subject Bishop to lawsuits from its
400 creditors, owed $12.5 million.
U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee George
McElreath has filed a court motion
asking that Bishop’s reorganization
case be dismissed.
A hearing was originally set for
April 8, but McElreath has said he
would ask U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Robert McGuire to speed up the
hearing on his motion if Bishop fails
to pay its faculty.
The state attorney general’s office
said it will contact federal authorities
to see whether they are interested in
investigating the man whose founda
tion promised Bishop $300,000 then
reneged on the donation.
