comptroller's office funds these
disbursements account for the
amount needed by the institution
that day. Any left over funds are
invested the following day.
"We're able to keep enough
cash available to meet day-to-day
needs, and can invest up to 70 or
80 percent, which brings about a
greater return," he said.
In addition, the centralization
program allows the system to buy
securities in no less than $5 mil
lion blocks, which allows for
greater returns.
"It's more efficient for the parts
in the system, because it gives
them a greater return for their
money," Anderson said.
Anderson said each part of the
system used to have to determine
its own funding needs, and would
sometimes invest more than what
was needed.
"Now they don't have to worry
about that anymore," he said.
Another benefit of the central
ization program is that it has giv
en extra time to fiscal officers,
since they no longer have to deter
mine individual funding needs, he
said.
Anderson said the program is
new to university systems, but it
has been very successful when
used by corporations.
Dr. Ed Davis, executive deputy
chancellor, and Kevin McGinnis,
investment analyst for the A&M
system, were unavailable for com
ment.

Texas nuclear plant gets OK
DALLAS (AP) - Federal in
spectors have scored TU Electric's
Comanche Peak nuclear power
plant with a grade they call good,
but slightly down from last year's
B-plus.
In its annual review of the
Glen Rose plant, 90 miles south
west of Dallas, the Nuclear Regu
latory Commission noted errors
and problems that led to several
mishaps.
But the NRC this week said
Comanche Peak's performance
was "generally good."
The plant scored exceptional
marks in areas including radiation
control, emergency plans and en
gineering and technical support.
"We're pleased with it," said
TU Electric spokesman Mark
Manroe. TU Electric owns and
runs the plant.
NRC spokesman Joe Gilliland
said the $10 billion Comanche
Peak has been told to give atten
tion to maintenance details.
Last year, the NRC's annual re
port rated the plant's operations
as Category 2-improving, mean
ing the plant earned the second-
best grade and was getting better.
The 1992 rating is Categori
without the improving trend,
The head of a ComanchePe
watchdog group said the NEC
view process underplays so:
concerns.
"There's no way in thisrep
to assess harassment and intie
dation" of safety whistle-blow
said Juanita Ellis, president of
Citizens Association for Soic
Energy.
"That kind of informal:
