"Barrientos said states like California and Illinois have the legislation and some great schools," McHargue said. "Then he listed states without student regent legislation like Idaho and Mississippi and said, 'Look at the company Texas is in.' " McHargue questioned the fea- sability of student regents taking office by the Fall 1991 semester. He said appointments for Spring 1992 are much more likely. He said Sen. Turner supports student representation at state universities but will wait to see how the provision works before considering adding voting priv ileges. "I've seen student regent bills go down in flames for years," he said. "Voting was often the stumbling block for many legis lators. "Many were won over by the non-voting provision, though," he added. "What we did today was quite extraordianary, but we don't want to get ahead of our selves." V, by Scott McCullar ©1991 eciEkTiSTS HEXt- HAVE PiSCOVEKEP THE TOP OF SOME PEEP 7VNHEL- LJKE.

"The least prepared workers in the petrochemical industry are often performing some of its most dangerous work and expe riencing a significantly higher proportion of injuries than their more experienced direct-hire counterparts," the study said. WASHINGTON (AP) American specialists are pected to make their first-ever visit to Cambodia Wednesday to investigate the whereabouts of 83 Americans still unaccounted for since the Indochina War, the State Department said Monday. It is the first such mission to Cambodia since the American- backed regime there collapsed in April 1975. The visit was proposed several days ago by Deputy Assistant Secretary Kenneth Quinn during a visit to Laos where he met with the Cambodian ambassador. ■ The Phnom Penh government agreed, and the U.S. experts are scheduled to remain in tne coun try for a week or two after their Wednesday arrival, the State De partment said. . Instances of U.S. cooperation with Cambodia have been ex tremely rare since the commu nist takeover of the country 16 years ago.

"We don't know for sure, but it may be coming," he said. "The Sharp report recommends it be raised. But tuition has been raised twelve-fold in the last six years, and it doesn't seem right." State Comptroller John Sharp's Texas Performance Re view specifies severe budget cu for programs throughout tfc state, including many in highf education. Shadduck said A&M vf school students pay $4,800 ar nually in tuition and the schoi receives $34,000 from the slat for each student. Medical sti dents pay $5,400 annually an the medical school gets $54,Ol 1 per student from the state. "So, while our tuition slightly under that of med si dents, we receive far less the state," he said.
