Call Pat 696-2085 af ter 5:30 p.m. 177t8/16 DALLAS (AP) — A bid by bil lionaire H. Ross Perot’s new com pany to take over a lucrative Medi caid contract held by his old company has caught state officials by surprise. J. Livingston Kosberg, chairman of the board of the Texas Human Services Department, said his agency already had begun hammering out financial details of a new contract with Electronic Data Systems when Perot Systems Corp. entered the pic ture. “These are two giants fighting it out, and we just don’t want to get hit by a flying missile,” said Donald Kel ley, deputy commissioner for Texas’ health-care services. With Perot leading the way, EDS won the contract in 1976, helping es tablish its reputation nationwide. The contract, which expires Au gust 1989, is being contested for the first time since EDS won it after an often publicly bitter battle with Bradford National Corp. in the early 1980s. “We certainly will be there and will bid,” EDS spokesman Roger Still said. “We look at this as a competitor and will treat them as a competitor.” Analysts said Perot’s extensive knowledge of EDS, complemented by the two dozen former EDS em ployees on his staff, give his firm some competitive strengths. “Ross and his people ought to know exactly, contract by contract, what EDS has,” said Stephen Mc Clellan, a technology analyst with Merrill Lynch in New York. “They’ll know what deals are expiring, what their (profit) margins are, and what it’ll take to beat them on a bid.” Under the pact — EDS assumes data-processing and administrative responsibility for more than $800 million in the state’s Medicaid pro gram — EDS could net close to $7 million depending in part on perfor mance. Perot founded EDS in 1962 and sold the firm to CM in 1984. In De cember 1986, after highly-publicized conflict between Perot and CM, Perot and three other top EDS exec utives left the computer services company when GM agreed to pay them $850 million. Under terms of the GM buyout agreement, Perot is barred from op erating a for-profit firm until after December 1989. Perot announced the startup of the new firm Perot Systems and a controversial no-bid contract to au tomate the U.S. Postal Service in June. He said opposition led by General Motors Corp. and EDS prompted him to compete against EDS for commercial projects. The General Services Administra tion later suspended the Postal Serv ice pact, but Perot has challenged the GSA’s action. by Scott McCull] What's Up Wednesday CATHOLIC STUDENT ASSOCIATION:Will meet at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in the Student Center at 7:30 p.m. For more information call Rose Kennebrewal 846-5717.

Bryan-College Station was chosen in the 100,000 to 300,000 population category for the annual Governor’s Community Achievement Award, a grant first given in 1986. The award recognizes eight cities — one in each population category — and proportionally allocates among them a sum approved by the state highway com mission. This year $700,000 was allocated among the winning cities. Diane Mills, executive coordinator of Brazos Beauti ful, said Texas A&M students played a big part in the community’s efforts by participating in Adopt-a-High- way, the Big Event, and distributing litter bags and bumper stickers along with individual projects. “We really appreciate the Aggies anti are looking for-j ward to working with them next year,” Mills said. Gov. Bill Clements announced the winning cities Iasi I month in a ceremony at the Hope Arena of Galveston's 1 Moody Gardens. Of the eight, the city considered best I overall was given the Award of Excellence. Instead of a spoken announcement, a band played 1 the Aggie War Hymn to identify the winner — Bryan-1 College Station. Award criteria includes beautification efforts such as | litter cleanup programs, education, publicity and recyj cling accomplished during the previous year. “This award exists because the highway departments! $24 million litter-control cost was increasing by 20 per cent per year,” Mills said. Faced with such expense, the department set up pro | grams in 1985 such as this award and its “Don’t Mess j With T exas” campaign. Others named for the 1988 Governor’s Communit'1 Achievement Award were Port Aransas, Caldwell, Lit ingston, Lake Jackson, Victoria, Wichita Falls and|i Houston.
