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.
Gage said the details of the
new budget have not been worked
out yet.
A&M's budget for the next fis
cal year usually is completed by
May. But Gage said this year's
workings in the legislature made
planning for the new year impos
sible.
The new budget bill was
signed Friday, and A&M began
it's new fiscal year Sunday.
"But we are grateful for every
penny we got," he said. "The re
ductions could have been a lot
greater."
University President William
Mobley could not be reached for
comment.

More and more PhDs across the coun
try are recommending Hewlett-Packard
financial and scientific calculators
to their students. 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.

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."
