Pete Wilson signed an austere $57.6 billion budget Wednesday, ending 63 days of financial crisis in which the state had to pay its bills with IGUs for the first time since the Great Depression. The budget was delayed for weeks by bitter wran gling between the Republican governor and the De- mocrat-controlled Legislature over how much to cut funds for education, welfare and local governments to erase a $10.7 billion deficit. Wilson vetoed about $450 million from the budget, in cluding $108 million from prison spending and $206 million from trial-court funding. amount to $38 a month for a mother with two chil dren. Under a companion school spending bill the Leg islature passed Wednesday, the same amount of money will be spent on pupils as last year, but by borrowing $973 million against future years. "The budget we have just signed is a very difficult budget, not only difficult in getting to my desk, but very difficult in that it reflects the very trying times we are experiencing — the worst economic times since the Great Depres- Continued from Page 1 "The budget we have just signed is a very difficult budget... in that it reflects the very trying times we are experiencing — the worst economic times since the great depression." -Gov. Pete VJilcon sion, Wilson said. During the more than two months the state was without a budget, California is sued more than $3.4 billion in lOUs to pay creditors and employ ees, the first time it had done so since 1936. As the stalemate dragged on most banks Large Selection of Software Modules Available for HP48SX 'We did a number of things we did not want to do," the governor told a Capitol news conference. While the budget contains no tax increases, the Legislature gave counties the authority to increase the sales tax up to 1 cent. The new budget reduces support for cities, coun ties and other local governments by $1.3 billion and cuts welfare grants by 5.8 percent. The welfare cuts quit cashing the lOUs, the state's credit rating n g plunged and all funding for nursing homes caring for 2,500 severely-retarded people were cut off, a move that threatened to close the homes. State Controller Gray Davis said Wednesday the lOUs could continue for another week before the state starts paying again with checks. The nursing homes that weren't getting anything will also get lOUs in the meantime, he said. Sbisa Continued from Page 1 Robert Smith feels there will be a very strong interest to partici pate in the food court proposal because it will provide good com pany representation. The current generation's brand loyalty is pret ty strong, he said. One A&M student says he is very concerned about the idea of putting fast food places in campus facilities. "It may look real good up front but down the road you start hav ing problems with it," said Lance Par, an engineering technology graduate student. "I am concerned by anything done by the private sector pro posed to the University," Par said. Par attended a tour of college campuses using the fast food sys tem this summer, but he was not convinced it was a very good idea. "What I saw I wasn't very im pressed with," Par said. "There weren't quite as many food selec tions." Par also said he is worried be cause so many students don't know that fast food proposals are taking place. "Most students don't have an opinion because they don't know aoout what is going on," Par said. standing officers. The Sanders and MetzgerGm Collections reside in one coma of the exhibit hall, having bee moved from the MSC. However, the center serves as more than just an exhibit contains offices for studeii Corps leaders and the Corps cruiting coordinator. It alsi houses a library and a classrooc with seating for 110 students which is used for Corps leadei ship classes. Selected cadets will serve the Corps Center Guard. Tbes students will give tours and sist in the daily operation of tb center. "Our goal is to haveoneoftli friendliest spots on the campts where people can come andseei constantly changing view Corps life past, present and ft ture," Fenton said. "It's a where old friends gather." The center has been a Ion; time coming, and it's long ova due, he said. "It's going to be an outstand ing gallery or displays." _Lt. Col. Donald Henderson building director and deputy sistant commandant, describe the center as "a place where for mer students and friends of thf Corps are going to come and remember the past." "Our goal here is for peopled come in and remember the gooc things but also see that there isi future for the Corps of Cadets' "It's a building that welcome people from both ends. Wehavi two front doors," Fenton said "And we have a lot of interesting stories waiting inside." Traffic signals Continued from Page 1 Schoenemann said they tried to concentrate on the intersections that seem to cause the most traffic back up. 'Part of the project was to reanalyze all the inter sections," he said. "We did all new traffic counts and incorporated those into these new timing plans. There were some situations, like Texas Ave., that are so saturated with cars that there is not much room for improvement." Carter said the lights have always been synchro nized but they needed to be updated. "There has always been some sort of synchroniza tion but travel patterns change," he said. "There was a need for retiming and re-optimizing." Carter said one major change was the use of a pro- tected-permissive left turn signal. "There are detectors in the roadway," he said. "If there is no one in the left turn lane, the arrow won't come up and they will just have a green light. It changes depending on the time of day and traffic patterns." Schoenemann said reactions from motorists have been positive. "We're receiving input from citizens about what they like, what they don't like and how we can make it better." The dedication ceremonies the Corps center will begin 9:30 am on Saturday, Sept, Dr. William Mobley and mem hers of the Texas A&M Boards Regents will attend. An Opel House will follow the ceremony. Trial Continued from Page 1 sault to the jury during cross-ex amination. Worthington said he raped the victim first, then Gutierrez, then Worthington again. Worthington admitted to Mc Connell that he raped the victim the second time after he became aroused watching Gutierrez sexu ally assault her but said," It hurt my heart to do it." Worthington told McConnell he didn't recall telling the victim he would shoot her in the head if she didn't perform oral sex on him. "Then she's got all the events of that night screwed up?" Mc Connell said. "I'm not going to call her a liar," Worthington said, "but her state of mind was bad. She was very nervous." McConnell asked Worthington if he initiated the sexual assault. "Yes ma'am," Worthington said. "The victim describes you as being in control," said McConnell. Worthington replied, "I pretty much had my own mind." Lisa Tanner, assistant District Attorney and co-council for the victim, urged the jury to give the defendant the maximum penalty: life in prison. Tanner emphasized the fact that the assault was ran dom with no justification. During final arguments, Mc Connell told the jury,"life is the only appropriate sentence." "We re not social workers," McConnell said. "We're not here to figure out how to fix Mr. Wor thington." Worthington began crying un controllably after the jury read his sentence, shouting "I can't believe it! There's no way!" Charlene Lopez, the defen dant's mother, was upset over the prosecution's use of the victim's student status. 'Why does it always have to be idf. "Families Aggies," Lopez saic live here too.
