The 14 new phones were pro posed by the Security Aware ness Committee in June 1990. Almost all of the phones have been put in place by GTE. One or two phones have yet to be in stalled. Kretzschmar said there were many factors involved in decid ing the location of the phones, including visibility, accessibil ity. pedestrian traffic flow and crime statistics. Members of the student body from organizations such as Stu dent Government and the Resi dence Hall Association with help of some staff in Student Affairs made recommendations to the SAC about possible locations be fore the final proposal was sub mitted to Robert Smith, A&M vice president for finance and administration. Cutbacks harm education, A&M officials say Continued from page 1 and parents for programs other than education?" Margraves said the Board sup ports the tuition increase if the money goes to Texas schools. "I put six kids through college, so I know what it's like to pay tu ition," he said. "Out-of-state stu dents get a bargain." However, Mobley said the rec ommendations will decrease A&M's budget, even with tu ition increases. "It doesn't seem to make sen se," he said. "Students pay more, and the University gets less." Hiler said the Permanent Uni versity Fund (PUF) is also in danger from the Legislature. "There is a possibility the PUF may be attacked," he said. "That probability may escalate in the days ahead." Another recommendation calls for using interest earnings from school funds to support other state services. However, Davis said this money is already used by the University to operate food serv ices, dormitories and other serv ices. Mobley said the plan to take away interest earnings is a disin centive for efficiency. Not only will it penalize those engaged in good management, but it will in crease costs to students, he said. "If a dorm has a leaky roof, there is no money to fix it," Mob ley said. "The one who pays is the student." The TPR plan also calls for eliminating special item funding — "seed money" for projects like the Institute of Biosciences and Technology (IBT), the Sea Grant Program and the Cyclotron. Mobley said programs such as these generate money for the state with federal and private support. He gave as an example the IBT, which cost the state $7.5 million and has generated $19 million. "We use state dollars to get many other dollars," he said. "I don't think the state will find a better investment." Programs such as the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, the Texas Engineering Experi ment Station and the Texas Transportation Institute are also threatened by the TPR's recom mendations, Hiler said. "All have relationships with academic programs at A&M and other schools," Hiler said. "They also stand to be adversely affec ted." SECTOR 45 KG mm ®TP TAG-Heuer SWISS MADE SINCE I860.
