New 3-payment system
to replace tuition plans
starting in Spring ’90
Texas A&M students who pay
their tuition and fees through instal
lment plans will have to follow the
guidelines of a new three-payment
f >lan, instead of the former two- and
our-payment plans.
The Texas A&M University Sys
tem Board of Regents, in accordance
with House Bill 558, on Friday ap
proved eliminating the two- and
four-payment plans and establishing
a new three-payment plan. The new
payment plan goes into effect in
Spring 1990.
Under the new plan, the first pay
ment of one-half the tuition and fees
must be paid before the beginning
of the semester.
The second payment of one-quar
ter of the total tuition and fees must
be paid prior to the sixth class week
ana the final payment must be paid
before the 1 Itn week of class.
The plan doubles the amount a
student must pay prior to the begin
ning of classes as compared to the
current four-payment system now in
use.
House Bill 558, recently approved
by the 71st State Legislature, allows
schools to delay implementating the
new payment system by one semes
ter, A&M officials said.
Officials said they wanted stu
dents to know of the new plan be
fore it goes into effect.

(AP) Authorities say alcohol use
was a contributing factor in the ma
jority of traffic fatalities during the
first half of the Labor Day weekend,
and they fear more holiday revelers
will choose to drink and drive.
Nine people had died as of Sun
day morning, according to the Texas
Department of Public Safety. Offi
cials blame alcohol use in seven of
those deaths.
Tom Mobley, a DPS safety educa
tion officer, said officials are partic
ularly concerned about a daylong
party, including a concert by The
Who, being sponsored in Dallas by a
beer manufacturer.
“We’re sitting here on the edge of
our chairs, hoping people don’t im
bibe,” Mobley said. “But that could
mess up our predictions.”
The DPS is conducting a holiday
fatality count during a 78-hour pe
riod that began at 6 p.m. Friday and
will end at midnight on Monday.
Statisticians for the DPS have pre
dicted, based on past holiday periods
and current trends, that 34 people
will die on Texas streets ana high
ways during the period.
“Right now, it looks like we’re
going to stay pretty close to our esti
mate, or below,” Mobley said.
“It depends on how many of them
decide to come home today, rather
than laying out in the sun tomorrow
and driving home tomorrow night.”
The latest deaths on Texas high
ways and streets included a 16-year-
old Sugarland youth.
Andrew White, 15, was killed Sat
urday about four miles south of Sug
arland when the vehicle in which he
was riding struck a curb, went out of
control, then hit a tree. Officials said
he was not wearing a seat belt.
Eddie James Haley, 37 of Liberty,
was killed Saturday when he walked
in front of a vehicle on a Liberty
street. Police reported that Haley
had been drinking prior to the fatal
accident, Mobley said.
Alcohol and speed were blamed as
contributing factors in Saturday’s
death of Gerardo Maldonado Ville
gas, 22, of Pharr. He was killed
about five miles north of Pharr when
his vehicle veered off the road and
overturned. He was not wearing a
seat belt.
Earlier on Saturday, Texas had its
first death of a motorcylist who ig
nored a new law requiring helmets.
Robert Santos, 20, of El Paso was
killed when his motorcycle went out
of control at a city intersection about
2:50 a.m Saturday. Police said San
tos was not wearing a helmet.
Dead dolphin
sent to A&M
for autopsy
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — A
marine mammal authority believes
an 8-foot female dolphin that
washed up on a Corpus Christi Bay
beach died of starvation.
David McKee, local coordinator of
the Texas Marine Mammal Strand
ing Network, said the Atlantic bottle-
nose dolphin, whose body was found
Friday, will be shipped to a Texas
A&M University laboratory in Col
lege Station for an autopsy later this
week.
“We couldn’t find anything that
appeared to cause the death,” Mc
Kee said. “She was very emaciated
and hadn’t eaten for some time be
fore she died. There was probably
some disease that caused her to lose
her appetite and get weak.”
The dolphin is believed to be 10 to
15 years old and weighed about 275
pounds.
“We hope to be able to tell a lot
about this animal,” said McKee, who
is an assistant professor of marine bi
ology at Corpus Christi State Uni
versity.
