Budget continued from pg.1 A&M University System to go back and formulate its budget for this fiscal year, and then to get it approved by the Texas A&M Board of Regents. But Gage said there has still been no word from Austin as to the exact amount of money the riders will effect A&M's budget. "We're still waiting on Austin/' he said. "It may take sev eral weeks or months." In the meantime, A&M has set aside contingency funds to allow for the additional reductions caused by the law. The University is presently op erating on the same budget used during August. The Board of Re gents passed an agenda item for A&M to function on this budget » ( ' through September to allow administrators time to formu late a new budget.

And for some very strong reasons. “The HP 48SX Scientific Expandable has powerful graphics tools that are remarkably helpful to students learn ing mathematical concepts. And with the equation solver feature, it’s excel lent for applying mathematics to engineering” according to Dr. William Rahmeyer, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Utah State University. “The HP Business Consultant II has an equation solver and extensive math functions. These free the students from computational tedium so they can think and interact on a higher level;’ says Dr. Lee V. Stiff, a professor of math education at North Carolina State University. So go check out the HP calculator line at your college bookstore or HP retailer. You’ll agree, there’s no faster relief from the pain of tough problems. HP calculators. The best for your success. HEWLETT PACKARD Fraternity pledge hospitalized DENTON (AP) - A Universi ty of North Texas student has been hospitalized for alcohol intoxica tion after a suspected fraternity hazing incident, police said Mon day. Michael Brown, 20, was listed in stable condition Monday at Denton Community Hospital's in tensive care unit, a nursing super visor said. Brown, a freshman pledge at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, be gan drinking Sunday at 2 p.m. and continued until 11 p.m., said Den ton Police Sgt. Tom Woods. Brown's percent blood alcohol content was .45. Baltics continued from pg. 1 ers and Robert Strauss, his new ambassador to Moscow. Bush sent a cable to Gorbachev last Tuesday night alerting him of the impending announcment but expressing hope the Soviet Union would act on its own first to grant independence. Yet, the cable said in effect that "time is running out" and the United States would act by Friday, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. On Friday, a member of Gorbachev's staff called the White House and pleaded for more time. The aide told Ed Hewitt, senior Soviet spe cialist on the National Security staff, that "they needed more time, that the (Soviet) Parliament had not acted. President Gorbachev was still considering the situation, could they have more time before we an nounced it," the official said. After checking with Bush, Hewitt called back and said the president would wait until Monday. On Sunday, Bush received a cable from Gor bachev, thanking the president for his support but making no mention of the Baltics. Gorbachev indicated in a Sunday interview on Cable News Network that the Baltic states were free to leave the union if they wished. The Baltic states were annexed in 1940 by the Soviet Union as a result of a secret pact with Stalin-Hitler pact on the eve of World War II. The United States never recognized their incorporation into the Soviet Union. Coup continued from pg. 1 sovereign nations. If this is how things are going to be done, there is no need for a central authority." Gorbachev's chances for re taining power will remain slim even if the central government re mains, he said. "Since the coup, both Gor bachev and Yeltsin have said the national elections planned for 1992 will be held much sooner," Hatch ett said. "If that happens, Gor bachev will be out. He is not liked by the liberals or the conserva tives, and has no chance of putting together a majority. He will be re placed by Yeltsin and those who hold his views." Hatchett said the further disso lution of the union is a far more likely scenario, however, and the role of the central government lessened or eliminated. The break-up of the Soviet Union, especially in the Baltic states', could be greatly complicat ed by large Russian minorities liv ing in republic, Hatchett said. "Latvia and Estonia have mi norities of ethnic Russians that make up about 30 percent of their populations," Hatchett said. "If these minorities are discriminated against by Latvians and Estonians, there could definitely be trouble." Hatchett said Yeltsin and most of his most ardent followers are Russian nationalists, and might re act harshly to discrimination against ethnic Russians. "Yeltsin has alluded to a need to redraw borders to bring these minorities into the Russian repub lic," he said. "If that doesn't hap pen there could be a mass exodus of these minorities from the break away republics." Hatchett said the collapse of the Soviet Union could change the complexion of a military threat to the United States, although the nu clear capability will remain. "Lithuania and the other re publics will not have Soviet nucle ar weapons," he said. "The Soviet military is dominated by Russians, and Great Russia will retain con trol of the weapons, whatever happens."The threat of a conven tional attack on Western Europe, however, has been eliminated, Hatchett said. "Great Russia will inherit the military power of the Soviet Union/' he said. "A surprise at tack emanating from Eastern Eu rope is less likely, as the Russian republic is insulated not only by the one-time Warsaw Pact nations, but by the independent republics as well. The situation for Europe will become much more comfort able for the West. Even if the Rus sians had the ip tent to attack, thdr capability would be greatly de creased."
