Fee gives student lobby
Continued from page 3
He said workers will keep va
rious university student govern
ments up to date on events in
Austin.
The headquarters, which Cle
venger called the State Student
Association, will be paid for by
the new fee.
He said university fees to fund
the Student Association head
quarters will vary among institu
tions.
The maximum fee is $1 a se
mester per student. Clevenger
said Texas A&M's fee probably
will be 25 cents a semester.
For "about half the price of a
Coke," A&M students will gain
permanent representation in
Austin, he said.
Clevenger, who has a history
of pushing higher education in
terest bills through the House,
said the bill likely will be ap
proved by the Legislature.
"It's not controversial," he
said. "I don't see any serious op
position to it."
Clevenger said Texas ranks
low among states in student lob
bying, and most states already
have student lobby headquar
ters.
Research facility planned
Continued from page 1
headed by Dr. Robert Wells.
The location will enable the
200 researchers to share
knowledge with their coun
terparts at other institutions.
The IBT will coordinate re
search from different scientific
disciplines. Scientists will
unite medical, biological and
bioengineering research with
work in agriculture and nutri
tion, among other subjects.
In addition to studying
AIDS, researchers also will
contribute to the human gen
ome project, the complete
mapping of the human ge
netic structure. This under
taking involves institutions
and scientists from through
out the world.
The IBT also will study ani
mal DNA structures, viruses
and molecular parasitology.
The information on animal
and human diseases will be
important to health care in de
veloping countries, officials
said.
A&M provosts, deans
consider committee
Continued from page 1
Clevenger said the plan also
will help when book publishers
print new editions of books.
"Sometimes a book publisher
will put in a new introduction, or
move a chapter around, then
market the book as a new edi
tion," he said. "If the University
has an organized group that de
cides which books are chosen for
the courses, we could demand
continued printing of certain edi
tions."
Clevenger said that when new
editions are printed, older edi
tions aren't always obsolete.
"In BANA 217, there wasa|
new edition published that
wasn't fundamentally different
so they published a syllabus I
with the readings listed for botlt
the old and new books," he said
"This is what we want to do wi
all the departments: use supple [
ments and handouts to upoati
the older editions that are stil
usable."

Economists discuss corporate tax
Continued from page 1
only a small effect on Texas'
economy and attractiveness to
out-of-state businesses," he said.
"These businesses would have
the same tax anywhere else they
go anyway."
Other ways the state could
raise revenue would be to boost
the state sales tax or expand the
tax to include services, he said.
However, Saving said he be
lieves these changes are not
likely to be considered.
"Texas already has one of the
highest sales taxes in the coun
try, so I doubt they'll try to raise
it further," Savings said. "Flo
rida and Massachusetts both
tried to tax the service indus
tries, but it didn't work because
the professions are politically
powerful. Both states have since
rescinded these taxes."
Saving said Texas discussed
the latter option in legislative
committee, but the measure was
voted down.
The politics involved in raising
ha
taxes have changed somewhat
over the last few years, and law |
makers have recently begun I
discuss the possibility of nighi
taxes.
"One would think that it's poj
litical suicide for a politician!
endorse a tax," said Dr. Kii
Hill, a political science professor I
Hill said momentum present: I
exists for raising some typei
taxes during this session or tlifj
next.
"Looking at the current si
deficit," Hill said. "There's]
no practical alternative."
Pesticide research studied by A&M
Continued from page 1
Integrated pest management
uses several methods to fight
crop-destroying insects such as
pests' natural enemies, pest-re
sistant and genetically-engi
neered plants, different varieties
of crops, delayed planting and
harvesting, and pesticides as a
last resort.
Frisbie said before IPM pro
grams began in the 1960s, farm
ers used more than 19 million
pounds of insecticides to protect
cotton crops. Today, farmers use
less than 2.5 million pounds of
insecticides.
Young said activists are not
aware of the potential of biotech
nology research. He says geneti
cally engineered herbacide-resis-
tant plants enable farmers to use
low-risk herbacides rather than
high-risk ones.
Harris said molecular and cel
lular biology also contribute to
sustainable agriculture. He said
genetically engineered plants re
sistant to insects and drought re
duce the need for fertilizers and
pesticides.
A&M scientists also have de
veloped a new strain of geneti
cally engineered cotton that
makes its own pesticide, Harris
said. TAEX researchers took a
toxin-producing gene from a
bacteria and inserted it in cotton
plants.
The resulting hybrid called BT
cotton is poisonous to bol-
Iworms, a species of cotton-eat
ing insect.
Using microbes to control
pests is another aspect of bi
otechnology, Frisbie said. Engi
neering bacteria and viruses to
attack specific insect species de
creases reliance on pesticides.
Biotechnology still is in its de
velopmental stages, but the sci
ence has much to offer, Frisbie
said. Companies in the biotech
nology inaustry are working on
herbacide-resistant as well as in
sect-resistant plants, he said.
Young said, however, much
work has to be done before ge
netic engineering becomes com
monplace. Until then, scientists
must continue with old meth
ods.
Harris said sustainable agricul
ture encourages soil and water
conservation, improves the envi
ronment and promotes food
safety.
Less reliance on chemical pes
ticides and commercial fertilizers
helps prevent some chemicals
from entering ground water re
serves and promotes chemical |
conservation.
Young said worldwide sustai
nable agriculture will not be pos
sible for a number of years. As |
the planet's population in
creases, agricultural prodution I
will have to keep up by whatever |
means possible, he said.
Diversification is the key
sustainable agriculture, Hams I
said. Crop rotation, alternative |
crops, planting more than
crop at a time, and raising Eve-1
stock as well as crops are n
ods of diversification that de-1
crease reliance on chemical |
pesticides and fertilizers.
Livestock • manure, crop resi
due and legumes are all natural
fertilizers, Harris said. They all
provide nutrients in the soil,
Legumes, a type of bean plant,
are nitrogen fixers. They replace
nitrogen taken out of the solan! I
reduce the need for commerdal |
fertilizer, Harris said.
Another way to control weeds |
is bio-control, Harris said. Farm i
ers keep sheep or goats to eat
weeds. The livestock then ear
certain plants farmers consider [
undesirable.
Fire also could be used as a I
weapon against weeds, Hamsj
said.
