EDINBURG (AP) — Two state legislators announced plans to pur sue a shift of Pan American Univer sity — the state’s southernmost four- year institution — into the Univer sity of Texas System. State Reps. Juan Hinojosa, D- McAllen, and Alex Moreno, D-Edin- burg, said a bill they pre-filed Mon day to effect the change is not spe cific about how the merger should take place. Moreno said Pan American, whose main campus is located in his hometown, would emerge as a full partner in the UT System. The bill is a basic bill and does not resolve all of the issues that are still to be decided in the merger talks. The Legislature last year ordered the Austin-based UT System and the College Station-based Texas A&M University System to look at short comings in higher education in South Texas and offer ways to im prove academic opportunities. Since then, regents of Pan Ameri can and UT have agreed to discuss cooperative programs and possible merger. UT Chancellor Hans Mark said, “It is our best judgment that for the good of the UT System and for the good of Pan American University this merger should go on.” Mark was on the Pan American campus Monday to speak to the Fac ulty Senate and address some of their concerns in the event of a merger, including tenure and ad missions policies. He said UT stands to gain from South Texas’ rapidly growing pop ulation and its economic potential from the growing “maquiladora” program of industrialization on the Mexican side of the border. “We’re going into this with a very clear view of self interest, and I hope we can persuade you that it’s in your interest to do the same,” Mark said to the faculty group. Pan American stands to gain new academic programs through UT, he said. Robert Shepard, a Pan American regent and member of the board’s merger committee, said he had not seen the bill. Although he said, “We’re definitely moving in that di rection, and I hope we can come to an agreement.” Moreno and Hinojosa said they pre-filed the bill Monday to give it a head start in the Legislative session beginning Jan. 10. They said the bill in its present form would allow Pan American University at Brownsville to continue as an institution within the UT System.
