The two members in favor of stay
ing with United Group Insurance
said the financial reserve base of
United Group Insurance is consider
ably greater than that of Pearce &
Pearce, a matter that is important
should several major claims be made
against the insurer during the
course of the year.

Sandel said Peel and Chancellor
Perry Adkisson were consulted
about what students would like to
see in a dorm. She said the new own
ers researched student preferences
in housing, and found students did
not want to live on-campus in a
dorm, yet didn’t want an apartment.
University Tower will be an alterna
tive.
A&M is currently building six new
on-campus residence halls, which
will be completed in time to house
residents for the Fall semester. The
new halls will offer 1,200 more hous
ing spaces. Ron Sasse, director of
student affairs, said A&M will be
able to offer almost every applicant
for 1989-1990 on-campus housing a
room. He said that A&M may have
to turn away some women, but that
there may be vacant spaces in the
men’s halls.
Sandel said students will live in
University Tower, even though on-
campus housing is available, because
of the amenities offered.
The dorm will have some features
of A&M residence halls. Sandel said
the dorm residents can have formals
and picnics, as well as participate in
intermural sports.
Lodgeco, based in Beverly Hills,
Ca., is the new owner of the hotel.
The company has hired a manager
of private dorms in Texas and Ari
zona, Richard Berns, to be the gen
eral manager.
Sandel said the firm is planning,
among other things, a direct-mail
campaign to notify parents and stu
dents of the new dormitory.
consituents want, would be a mis
take.”
In other action taken during the
four-hour meeting, the Senate
unanimously approved a resolution
urging the State Legislature to pass a
bill to change the way universities
handle the situation of a student re
peating a course.
Rhonda Walls, the senator who in
troduced the resolution, said some
institutions will take the higher
grade received in a course and omit
the lower grade form the calculation
of the GPR, while other institutions
take both grades, average them to
gether, and use the average in the
students’ overall GPR.
A bill going through the Legis
lature states that if a student takesi
course and receives a C, U or F, kf
may take the course only one mort
time and the second grade replact
the first in determination of his CPU
if the second grade is equal to or bet
ter than the first.
Also during the meeting, Ty Cle
venger, newly-elected speakeroftkt
Senate, introduced a bill calling foi
the creation of an ad-hoc committee
for computer services that would re
port to the Student Senate at least
once per semester until thespringof
1991. The bill was sent to the stu
dent services for further review.

That’s $600,000 — what one pair
would return over its laying life.
Even if the price falls 50 percent,
that’s still $300,000.”
He houses his paii — purchased
from the Yellow Rose — behind his
home, and finds it an ideal situation.
“I can put a pair on a half-acre, and
that’s all the room they need,” he
says. Because they feed primarily on
alfalfa, some breeders let them graze
in alfalfa patches. Kimsev estimates
it will cost him $250 a year to feed
his pair.
He got into the business because,
to him, it’s the country’s hottest com
modity. And “It’s an exciting and
new industry. 1 relate it to the U.S.
cattle industry 220 years ago. That’s
where I feel we are right now.”
Faye Lehenbauer is boarding her
ostriches at The Yellow Rose, and
visits several times a week, weighing
and candling the eggs her hen lays.
Laying season begins in early spring
and lasts through early fall.
Debate

of the University and should
remain.
Melton argued the Corps'rep
utation of being discriminatory
hurts A&M’s chances of becom
ing a world-class institution, but
one man said this argument “sim-
ply made no sense.”
"Yes, there are a couple ofbad
apples that get into the bunch,?
but you have those in every orga
nization,” he said. “Fraternities -
have had hazing incidents also. Is
there some big recipe somewhere
that says how to become a world-
class university?”
Another man said it’s unfair
lot a person to judge the Corps’
importance to the University un
less that person is a member.
“Membership of the Corps is
voluntary, and even though the
membership is small, live percent
of the people felt it served a vi
able purpose for them.” he said.
Auction

$29,332.91. It is the residence of
Van Allen, Paul Quinn’s assistant
to the president and director of
federal relations.
Price said she hopes the school
will be able to buy it back from
her in the next six months.
“I’m an investor, but I do hope
they can possibly buy it back,” she
said.
Paul Quinn College has 180
days to buy back the properties at
the prices the new owners paid
plus 20 percent interest.
Morgan and Allen have six
months before they must leave
the properties unless Paid Quinn
buys them hack, according to the
IRS. whic h will issue the deed at
the end of 180 days.
Hulse said school officials are
still optimistic that financing can
lx- found and that the school can
resolve its financial problems
within the six-month period.
“But Paul Quinn is still opti
mistic: that it can get financing
and needs worked out,” Hulse
said. “Maybe within the six-
month period the college can get
its aff airs in order."
Trustee Jack Bryant, vice pres
ident-affiliate relations for the
National Black Network in New
York, described the sale of homes
as "unfortunate.” v
