increasing out-of-state tu
ition waiver on academic schol
arships from $200 to $1,000 and
limit from 5 percent to 2 percent.
Gage said he and A&M Presi
dent William Mobley support a
tuition increase, but not if the
state keeps 75 percent of the net
increase.
That recommendation would
nullify a tuition increase since
Gage's office calculated that
A&M would lose $1.5 million per
year from the changes.
Even if the Legislature does
not support Sharp's tuition pro
posals, Gage said a tuition in
crease is likely.
"The plan recommends the in
crease in Fall 1992, but I imagine
it will go into effect in Spring
1992," he said.
Another area of prime interest
is the TPR's interest factors,
which will result in the loss of
earned interest on local funds.
Local funds are generated from
room and board fees. Business
Services, Food Services, the air
port and others.
Local funds are used for items
not funded by state revenue,
such as maintenance, repairs,
equipment, utilities upgrade,
academic scholarships and fac
ulty development leaves.
$53.6 million is equivelant to
the funding requirements for :
✓ 197 faculty posistions
94 graduate teaching assistants
543 staff posistions
1,182 class sections
4,800 students
2,150 journals
2,550 book aquisistions
9,100 student worker hours in library
25% reduction in library hours
130 to 155 student scholarships
525 student workers

□ Texas ranked last in state
appropriations per student at
$3,341 compared to the national
average of $4,388;
If that portion of the comptrol-
. - - - cN { -
lei's plan is enacted, A&M will
lose $23.9 million in the next
biennium and will be forced to
hike fees for room and board,
parking, snacks and other cam
pus services.
The TPR also recommends a
50 percent reduction in funding
for research and research cen
ters. Gage said programs like the
Cyclotron and Institute for Bios
ciences and Technology will suf
fer greatly since the University
uses state research monies to ap
ply for federal and other external
funding.
Anotner of the comptroller's
recommendations is to reduce
the state's matching contribu
tions to the Optional Retirement
Program (ORP).
Under the plan, the state
would reduce its contribution
from 8.5 percent to 5.99 percent,
leaving A&M to make up the dif
ference with its local funds.
All these budget problems
□ Texas ranked last in state
appropriations plus tuition and
fees with $4,314. The national
average was $5,991;
□ Texas appropriated $3,500
per student in 1985. The state
now appropriates only $2,800
per student.
Though Gage presented a
doomsday set of figures for
A&M, he hopes that legislators
can be convinced in the coming
weeks not to enact Sharp's rec
ommendations.
"Our expectation level is that
it won't be as bad as a $53 million
loss," he said. "We're hoping to
enlighten some people."
Singapore principal searches for innovations
Continued from page 1
classes are more or less the
same, whether they are in a pub
lic or private school, he said.
At St. Patrick's, seventh- and
eighth-graders are given a curric
ulum of nine subjects. In the
ninth- and lOth-grade, students
specialize in either science, the
arts, commerce or technical stud
ies.
After the seventh-grade, stu
dents choose their specialization
and must concentrate their stud
ies in that area. Students can go
to a junior college after the 10th-
grade to learn more about their
chosen specialization.
Though the curriculum is the
same, Guan said the govern
ment encourages principals to
discover innovative ways to
teach.
"The government is very cu
rious about each project's re
sults," he said. "If a particular
project is successful, it is shared
witn other principals."
Many government officials are
alumni of St. Patrick's, such as
the minister of education, the
acting minister of foreign affairs,
the deputy commissioner of po
lice, and the air chief of staff, as
well as Guan himself.
Guan said he plans to come to
Texas A&M next spring to begin
his doctorial studies in curric
ulum and education.
come at a time when Texas is
ranked near the bottom in the
nation in all important higher
education categories. The fol
lowing figures from 1990 show
that higher education is not the
highest priority in the state:
□ Texas ranked 44th out of 46
states reporting for resident un
dergraduate tuition and 23rd for
non-residents. Texas' average
was $973 per year compared to
the national average of $1,603;
