If approved, Proposition 3 will in
crease economic development in Texas,
which will benefit Texas A&M in the
long run.
“To an extent, the whole state will
benefit from the proposition, and any
time the state benefits so does the Uni
versity,” Associate Provost Jerry Gaston
said.
The proposition will establish the
Texas Growth Fun^t a source of invest
ment funds including venture capital
that, as worded on the ballot, “will di
rectly create, retain and expand job op
portunity and economic growth in Tex
as.”
One percent of state funds and of the
Permanent University Fund (PUF) could
be invested in the growth fund.
The PUF is a fund established by the
University’s founding fathers that is crit
ical to Texas A&M’s operation. As an
endowment fund, the PUF cannot be
spent, but the interest it earns transfers to
the Available University Fund. The AUF
provides the major part of the Universi
ty’s operational budget. Up to 1 percent
of the PUF could be invested in the
growth fund.
“Proposition 3 is an opportunity for
the University to generate a little more
income off of its investments which will
increase the AUF,” Gaston said. “The
proposition would increase opportunity
for investment by the PUF and as such,
any increase in income would affect the
University.”
The growth fund, through the use of
venture capital, also would benefit the
business sector by making more than
$100 million available to businesses in
Texas. University President William H.
Mobley said in a recent letter to the
Bryan-College Station Eagle, “The
Texas Growth Fund will give our state
the opportunity to move to the edge of
entrepreneurship — to attract new com
panies and people to Texas by offering
an environment that supports innovation,
imagination and entrepreneurial efforts
and to encourage promising efforts al
ready underway within our borders.”
All inv ;tments in the fund must be di
rectly re!-ited to further economic growth
and emp >yment opportunities in Texas.
Under the amendment, 50 percent of the
money in the fund would be invested in
“conventional instruments of debt or
equity for new or expanded industries in
the state.” Ten percent of the funds could
be used for venture capital.

“These funds will promote the growth
and development of small and emerging
businesses that could prove vital to a
healthy Texas economy,” Mobley wrote
in the letter.
The Texas A&M Board of Regents
endorses and supports the proposition as
being important legislation for the bene
fit of the state, in the best interests of the
investment growth of the PUF.
Two other propositions are listed on
the ballot. Approval of Proposition 1
would limit the use of federal reimburse
ments for state expenditures on public
roadways. The proposition says that the
Legislature must spend these funds
solely for acquiring right-of-ways and
constructing, maintaining and policing
public roadways.
Passage of Proposition 2 would estab
lish an economic stabilization fund in the
state treasury. To alleviate short-ages in
general revenue, monies from the fund
could be transferred into the general rev
enue fund by the state comptroller and
the state treasurer. With the approval of
two-thirds of the members of each house
of the legislature, monies from the fund
could be appropriated for any purpose in
case of a revenue shortfall.
Firefighters combat
18 Texas forest blazes
VOTAW (AP) — Texas forest fire
fighters Sunday battled forest fires
throughout Southeast Texas that were
fanned by winds and dry vegetation.
The service issued a high fire danger
alert — the second degree of three issued
by the service — for areas south of Luf
kin to Bastrop and east to the Texas-
Louisiana border, Texas Forest Service
spokesman Sam Logan said Sunday.
The alert is effective until relief from
rain or further notice from the service, he
said.
“With no rain in site, ranger officials
are limiting outdoor burning,’’ Logan
said.
Saturday, 18 fires burned more than
20,000 acres thoughout Southeast Texas,
the largest being 11,020 acres in Polk
County about 5.5 miles east of Votaw,
he said. The cause of the fire was un
known, Logan said.
Firefighters also fought a blaze of 500
acres in Tyler County about 15 miles
north of Silsbee which officials say was
probably caused by a campfire.
Pogo says, “Get out and vote.”
Voting is an important privilege
granted to American citizens by the U.S.
Constitution, which will helps determine
what path the country will follow during
the next four years.
And while most voters will choose be
tween the two major candidates on Tues
day, yet another candidate is having a go
at the presidential bid.
Pogo Possum, a satirical cartoon char
acter who, with his creator, Walt Kelly,
spiced up social issues and presidential
politics from 1952 until Kelly’s death in
1973, is back on the campaign trail with
his running mate, a female skunk named
Mam’selle Hepzibah.
Artist Neal Sternecky and writer Larry
Doyle have brought the possum back to
life and are working closely with Kelly's
family to recapture Pogo’s life in the
Okefenokee Swamp with fellow inhabit
ants including Albert Alligator, turtle
Churchy LaFemme, Howland Owl and
fox Seminole Sam. The “new" Pogo will
begin syndication in January' 1989 after
13 and a half years of absence from the
comics.
Pogo’s main platform stand for the
election is voter awareness, because the
Pogo Party believes it is a national shame
that more citizens, especially younger
ones who are eligible, do not exercise
their civic rights and duties by voting.
Pogo says he doesn’t want voters to
waste a “real” vote on him but he wants
to make voters, especially those in col
lege, more aware and excited by the
presidential election.
Mike Hachtman, legislative assistant
for Rep. Richard Smith, says voters on
campus seem to be ready to vote in Tues
day’s election because of efforts by cam
pus organizations such as Aggie GOP,
Aggie Democrats and the non-partisan
group Aggie Voter ’88.
“It’s impossible to determine the exact
amount of voters, but we’ve got more
than 17,600 students who are identified
as registered voters,” Hachtman says.
“That’s the number of (student) voters in
Brazos County. We can’t tell how many
arc registered back home and are voting
absentee. There could be 5,000 more."
Aggie GOP president David Shelton
says that to increase voter awarenes!|
Aggie Republicans have put sil
around campus and at shuttle bus
telling voters what precinct theyai;|
and where they have to go to vote
Duka
“We’re also putting up signs in dr!
to tell students what they needtok
with them to vote and where they!:
vote," Shelton, a senior electrical si
neering major from Hobbs.
Shelton says members of Aggiet;
will participate in a phone banksj
Victory ’88 to call registered votenj
encourage them to vote.
Aggie Democrat president Mid
Touchct says the Democrats are pan
paling in a similar phone bank and’
trying aggressively to push voter a»
ness.
"We’ll be at the Democratic headJ
ters calling registered votersandetmj
aging them to vote and we’ll alsobi
fering a ride service for members oi
community so they can get out and
te,” Touchct, a junior political sci
major from Austin, says.
Both organizations’ presidents
members will be at voting sites on 1.
day.
Touchet says the democrats will
“pushing cards” on people comiii!
vote.
“Some people don’t make up
mind until the last minute before they
to the voting box,” she says. “We
standing 1(H) feet away from thtvotj|
place and handing out literature Ml
democratic candidates to people soi:j|
can glance at it before they vote.” |
She says she thinks that passingfl
the literature will be an effective wa;|
get a message to voters.
Jessica Brown, a legislativesecretJ
for Rep. Richard Smith, says Victor)'*
and Aggie GOP had been handing>■
voter's guide packets containing iiii|
matron on local candidates, caitdidatl
stands on issues and what voters cankl
forward to in the future if they volefcl
certain candidate.
"We just want to encourage Votenl
get out and vote,” Brown says.
Touchct says her group had localcl
didates come to the group’s meetui!!|
students could familiarize themselif
with the candidate’s views.
