Student-parent program
provides needed support
By Andrea L. Warren burg
REPORTER
The rigors of attending a large
university definitely are not child’s
play. And Texas A&M students who
do double duty as parents face extra
strains. Students with Children is
there to help.
Students with Children is a sup
port group established to help stu
dent parents deal with the problems
they face.
The group, which was recognized
by the University in 1987, was
founded by then-student parent Ra
chel Kennedy.
“People are unaware how differ
ent our problems are compared to
Commission
assesses fees
for racetracks
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Rac
ing Commission on Monday set a to
tal of $1.8 million in first-year fees
for the three counties authorized for
greyhound racetracks.
That includes $460,000 each in
Cameron and Nueces counties, and
$880,000 in Galveston County. The
amount is figured as 0.5333 percent
of revenue in the first year of opera
tion as estimated by the comptroller.
Each county may have one track.
The commission said it will con
sider setting fees in future years
based on actual track revenue. The
$1.8 million was estimated as the
greyhound section’s share of the
amount needed to finance commis
sion activities.
“It’s going to cost us a lot of
money to go through that licensing
application,” and also regulating
tracks, Hilary Doran Jr., commission
chairman, said.
Veterinary practices and drug
testing rules for tracks also were ap
proved for publication in the Texas
Register, and the need for clarifica
tion of the commission’s authority
over non-pari-mutuel tracks was dis
cussed.
Paula Carter, legal counsel for the
commission, said commission rules
currently say the panel can bar a
horse from pari-mutuel racing if it
has participated in unregistered,
non-pari-mutuel racing. She said she
will ask the attorney general whether
.he commission also can impose civil
penalties.
In the proposed letter to Attorney
General Jim Mattox, member Dema-
rious Frey said, “I want him to get
the picture of the dens that will be
created without control, that the
people who cannot get an occupatio
nal license will be attracted to those
areas and that it will be more or less
a cockfight atmosphere.”
The commission also approved
eight tracks that applied for non
pari-mutuel racing. They are Trinity
Meadows Raceway Inc. near Dallas;
La Bahia Downs in Goliad; Piney-
wood Downs in Nacogdoches;
Manor Downs near Austin; Lubbock
Downs; Bandera Downs Inc.; Ross
Downs in Colleyville and G. Rollie
White Downs in Brady.
Doran also sent a letter to the at
torney general asking whether the
commission has the authority to al
low simulcasting, which is allowing
bets to be placed at tracks on races
televised from other locations.
“Some of the commissioners had
said that they’d rather have the at
torney general rule on it before they
went into a discussion on the rules,”
Doran said. He said he’s confident
the commission can do so.
Simulcasting would be good for
track owners and for the betting
public, Doran said.
“Why should somebody in San
Antonio have to drive all the way to
Dallas to see a horserace, when they
could go out to the racetrack in San
Antonio and view it there?” he said.

The group consists of married

Baby-sitting is the major concern
of the group.
