Legislature OKs
funding reform
Richards pledges to sign school finance bill;
state district court will review plan Monday
From Staff and Wire Reports
AUSTIN — The Legislature on
Thursday approved a billion-dol-
lar bill designed to satisfy a
Texas Supreme Court order to
reform financing of
schools.
The House approved the plan
92-57, and the Senate followed
21-10.
Gov. Ann
Richards said
she would
sign the bill
into law.
The plan
would cost
the state $1.3
billion over
two years and
shift hun
dreds of mil
lions of dol
lars in local
property tax money from
wealthier to poorer school dis
tricts.
Richards and House Speaker
Gib Lewis said they believed the
legislation would pass court
muster.
State Rep. Steve Ogden, R-
Bryan, voted for the measure af
ter voting no on every other pub
lic school bill before the House
during this session but said he
was not pleased with the bill.
"From day one, Tve been op
posing the way the direction of
the bill's been heading," he said.
Tve done everything in my
power to get the bill in decent
shape.
"But we're out of time, and we
faced a tough choice: Either vote
for the bill or let the courts take
over our schools like they did the
prisons. I just couldn't do that to
Brazos County."
Ogden said that there were a
public lot of problems with the bill.
Rep. Steve Og
den, R-Bryan,
voted in favor of
the school finance
bill Thursday.
"A provision of the bill called
for a county advisory committee,
and it in effect would have cre
ated a county school board," he
said. "It would have eliminated
the power of local school
boards."
However, that provision was
removed from the bill, Ogden
said.
"I'm still not comfortable with
what the bill says," he said. "I'm
not sure about it. I had to make
the decision between that bill or
the courts though. Decisions
aren't going to be getting any
easier."
The state faces a Monday hear
ing before State District Judge F.
Scott McCown, who oversees
the case and ordered an alterna
tive plan to be drawn up by a
court-appointed expert.
"It's a solution that will meet
the requirements of the courts,"
said Lewis, D-Fort Worth. "I
think it's a solution to have qual
ity education throughout the
state of Texas."
Richards said, "This Legis
lature tried very hard, did a good
job (and) produced a bill that I'll
sign."

RICHARD S. JAMES/The Battalion
A Fair to remember
Jason Bobruk, of Huntsville, sets up his exhibit for the 17th Annual Bra
zos Valley Regional Science and Engineering Fair in the Zachry lobby
Thursday afternoon. Bobruk’s experiment was to determine the effects
that different mirrors and liquids have on solar collectors. He found that a
saline solution is most effective. The fair is for area junior and senior high
school students. The exhibits will be on display for public viewing in
Zachry until 4 p.m. today. An awards ceremony will follow at 7 p.m.
Health Center puts emphasis
on patient, doctor teamwork
Editor's Note: The Battalion will
run a weekly column on better
health habits provided by the ed
ucation department at A.P. Beu-
tel Health Center.
You and your doctor are part
ners in your health care. Your
doctor depends on you as the
patient for the important basic
information about your health.
Remember, the doctor's advice is
good only if you follow it.
As a patient, you have two
roles. First, you are seeking help
because you are sick or injured
or you want to stay well. You
must honestly and clearly tell the
doctor what he or she needs to
know and to submit to an appro
priate examination.
Second, as you must manage
your own health care, you must
learn as much as you can about
your state of health. If you do
not get full explanations and
clear instructions from your doc
tor, the best medical opinion
might be of little help.
Be sure to provide complete
and accurate information about
your health history. Writing
down the facts ahead of time,
when possible, will prepare you
to make better use of the time
spent with your doctor.
Be direct about your major
concerns. Do not discount your
worry or pain and do not be
afraid to mention the little things
that have been troubling you,
even if they seem unrelated to
your major complaint. Your
health is at stake.
Your doctor will examine you,
and if he or she needs additional
information, he or she might
prescribe medical lab tests, x-ray
exams or other special exams.
In some cases, your physician
might want the professional
opinion of one or more col
leagues. Be patient with your
doctor — it is for your own good.
If tests are ordered, make sure
you know the purpose of the
tests, what you must do to be
properly prepared for them and
whether there are any associated
risks. Some tests might not be
absolutely necessary, but are
done as a precaution.
The doctor's knowledge of
your particular case comes from
you. Your doctor might not be
able to give you a complete diag
nosis during your first visit.
