Shrinking values
of real estate
threaten bailout
Shrinking real estate values
threaten to undermine the plan to
bail out the nation’s thrifts, an indus
try analyst said Monday, warning
that the declining market for raw
land will make it especially difficult
to raise money to pay for the rescue.
“The industry’s struggle is playing
out beneath an overhang of massive
amounts of real estate unwillingly
owned by both thrifts and govern
ments,” analyst Alex Sheshunoff
said in a review of the industry’s per
formance last year.
“The biggest challenge is what to
do with all the foreclosed real estate,
much Of which is raw land, now
owned by the federal government,”
he said.
The government has planned to
help pay for the bailout with money
raised from sale of foreclosed assets
— buildings as well as land, but a
slipping economy could result in
lower prices and prolonged sales
time, thereby increasing the cost.
In Texas alone, a study released
last week said almost half of $43.6
billion in bad loans at banks and
thrifts were on undeveloped land.
“Those land loans are probably
not worth 50 cents on the dollar,
they’re probably closer to 30, 35
cents, if you can find a buyer,” he
said.
“Absent real economic demand
for this property, the government
will have to provide incentives to at
tract buyers,” Sheshunoff said. “The
most obvious choices are tax incen
tives or Financing incentives. Unfor
tunately, papering over the problem
is what got us there in the first
place.”
In a telephone interview from
Austin, Sheshunoff said, “A major
factor in the real estate business
right now is that lenders are step
ping back from lending on real es
tate and this affects all of the logical
players from coming in and buying
this real estate, unless they have
cash.
“We’re now dealing with the pain
ful aftermath of often massive spec
ulative excesses in both real estate
development and lending,” Sheshu
noff said.
“If real estate markets deteriorate
further, the cost of the bailout will
continue to escalate,” he said.

U.S. education programs
should support Hispanics
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Education Secretary Lauro
Cavazos on Monday urged educators to take part in a
series of public meetings he’s holding aimed at improv
ing education for Hispanics.
“It’s really a dreadful loss of human potential,” Cava
zos said at the annual meeting of the National Associa
tion of Elementary School Principals. “We need your
guidance. We need your assistance.”
Cavazos cited a dropout rate of 45 percent among
Hispanics in Texas and said he hopes to hear from
principals, teachers and parents on how to improve the
situation.
The first of five public hearings on the dropout issue
begins today in San Antonio. Other hearings are slated
for later this spring in Boston, Chicago, Miami and Los
Angeles.
Cavazos brushed off questions about the battle in
Texas over education financing.
Several legislators walked out of a speech he gave
earlier this year to the Texas Legislature after he said
more money isn’t the answer to education problems.
Decisions on how the state should allocate monevs
school districts is not an issue for the federal govern
ment to address, the education secretary said.
“Texas should make those decisions ... It’sastaiej
sue and it’s not one that I will enter into — norisitoml
should enter into,” he said.
“I’m not here to say Texas ought to spend moredii
lars on education.”
Only about 6 percent of a school’s money comes [n®
the U.S. Department of Education, Cavazos said,add
ing that President Bush has stated that is inadequate
Before speaking with reporters and associationoi
cials, Cavazos stopped in and talked with a parent A

tion is operating.
Cavazos said the parent asked him how standard®:
testing should be used in evaluating a pupil.
“I said, ‘Just don’t depend on standardized lestiEi
Talk to your teacher. Talk to your principal,”’Cavai
said.
School finance saga continues
House endorses $450 million plan
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas House, in its sec
ond full-scale debate this year on school finance
reform, endorsed a $450 million spending plan
for 1990-91 Tuesday but hadn’t passed a bill by
early evening, as lawmakers argued over chang
ing the way the education system is run.
“This is the best way for Texas to go ... The
money goes where it’s needed in this formula,”
Rep. Mark Stiles, D-Beaumont, said in success
fully pushing an amendment to funnel most of
the additional state money to school districts
based on their local tax effort.
Lawmakers are in their second special session
to try to address a Texas Supreme Court ruling
that the school finance system is unconstitutional
because of disparities in funding available to
property-rich and -poor districts.
The court gave lawmakers until May 1 to re
form the $13.5 billion-a-year system, which relies
on a combination of local property taxes, state
aid and some federal funds.
The House was unable to agree on a bill in the
last 30-day special session. If it passes the bill by
Rep. Ernestine Glossbrenner, D-Alice, the mea
sure could go to a conference committee to work
out differences with a $ 1.2 billion Senate plan.
The finance amendment by Stiles was ap
proved without a record vote after lawmakers
“T
I his is the best way for Texas to
go ... The money goes where it’s
needed in this formula.”
— Mark Stiles,
state representative
voted 89-55 against tabling the proposal. The
funding formula is the same as in last session’s
bill, which Stiles helped to vote down, but he said
he objected to other provisions in that measure.
The spending plan would cost $1.7 billion to
$1.8 billion in the fifth year when fully imple
mented, said Stiles, who worked on the amend
ment with a coalition of lawmakers.
Stiles said he did not expect other fundiii;
amendments to be offered. The House tabid,
77-68, an amendment by Rep. Alan Schoolcrafi
R-San Antonio, to change the funding formula
Besides addressing school finance, the mta
sure debated by House lawmakers containd
provisions designed to make educators more at
countable for the job they do.
One provision in the bill would have thegow
nor appoint the education commissioner—frai
a list of recommendations by legislative leader
and with Senate consent — rather thantheSaii
Board of Education.
The Education Board, which currently mate
rules on education policy, instead would mall
recommendations to the commissioner and Let
islature. The board would retain its jobofadop:
ing and purchasing textbooks.
Petroleum companies adopt
set of environmental guides
Attorney says principals sound vague, hollow
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s major petro
leum companies have adopted a set of “guiding envi
ronmental principals,” their trade association an
nounced Monday.
But a senior attorney for an environmental organiza
tion said the 11 principles adopted Friday in Dallas by
the American Petroleum Institute sound like hollow
promises.
“The commitments are so vague as to be practically
meaningless,” Bob Adler of the Natural Resources De
fense Council, said.
The American Petroleum Institute’s board of direc
tors, which includes all of the nation’s major petroleum
companies, adopted the environmental principles in a
unanimous vote.
Those principles include pledges that the industry
would promote the safe use, transportation and dispo
sal of raw materials; to address problems created by the
handling and disposal of hazardous substances from oil
operations; and to operate plants and facilities in a way
that protects the environment, and the safety and
health of employees and the public.
“It sounds like hollow promises, especially coming
from an industry that has violated not only government
regulations but its own promises time and time again,”
Adler said.
Adler said the industry appears to be seeking to re
place “badly needed” enforceable government regula
tions with more unenforceable industry promises.
“This industry has said ‘trust me’ many times in past
but has proven as many times in the past that they can
not be trusted on their own,” Adler said.
The API’s environmental principles were unveiled
within days of the first-year anniversary of the nation’s
worst oil spill, in which the tanker Exxon Valdez
spewed nearly 11 million gallons of toxic crude oil into
the sea when it rain aground in Prince William Sound,
Alaska.
The proposals also come as a House-Senate confer
ence committee considers oil spill liability legislation
that Adler said would increase liability standards for oil
spills, impose a bigger tax to finance a cleanup fund,
and require better clean-up plans. The House-passed
version of the bill would also require double hulls and
bottoms on tankers.
The oil industry is also seeking to drill in such re
stricted areas as Bristol Bay in Alaska, off the Florida

regulations but its own promises time and

Keys and the California coast, and at the Arctic Na
tional Wildife Refuge.
The industry, Adler said, “is facing increasing oppo
sition to those drilling plans in light of their recent re
cord. Maybe they’re trying to assure Congress and the
public they can drill safely.
“That’s what they’ve been saying for years,” he said.
“The trick is for them to prove it in actions, not just
more hollow words.”
Racial slurs
found on

AUSTIN (AP) — A Universit
of Texas fraternity leader saysn
investigation will be started i»
racial slurs found painted ons
fraternity car used in a parade.
Lance Abbott, vice president^
the predominantly white DdH
Tau Delta fraternity, said he!
not believe members of the fa-
ternity were responsible for tkf
racial slurs found spray-paid
on the back of the car, which* 1
parked in the fraternity’s drive
way.
“We definitely apologize fa
the fact that it happened at o«t
house,” Abbott said, but added
“I cannot believe it was one of fa
guys from our house. We wart I*
do everything we can to improve
relations (with minorities).’’
Cliff Vrielink, Interfratemii)'
Council president, saidthereate
no specific t ules covering the inti
dent, “but we would certainlyca!

resolve the situation.
“It’s incredibly insensitive,"If
said. “It’s not something we lik
to have happening.”
Mark Yudof, dean of tkf
School of Law, said the school:
racial harassment policy, whid
he wrote, would punish the indi
vidual who wrote the epithets,
would be ineffective against I
