"Basically, the (first) class would be remedial work," Gourri er said. "Everyone is on different levels so if we start off at the bot tom and work everyone up, everyone can be on the same page." The second class would be one - of the classes already offered at A&M. "The long-range goal is to have multicultural ideals infused throughout the curriculum, but today professors either are not prepared or not educated enough to teach these classes in that man ner. Meuret said instructors should be the ones to determine the mul- ticulturalism course content. "The classes have got todt pend on how they are taught,' Meuret said. "You nave themnov as optional, and teachers are al lowed to teach in the way that It or she believes. If it's requireij there is no assurance that the; won't follow what he or she net 1 essarily believes or state thinf, against history." Gourrier said he wonders A&M is doing all it can in wot 1 ing toward multicultural ideals. "It is Texas A&M's duty, obi ation and job to make sure thatifi graduates are well-rounded stu dents," Gourrier said. "A&Mt not doing its job to prepare stt dents to live in a multicultural ciety.

PTL pays creditor following bankrupto • THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - More than $49 million has been paid creditors of the defunct PTL religious empire, but the contributij known as lifetime partners got nothing, says the final report in theF bankruptcy case. ITie report, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Columbia, S(, ended what the lawyers who wrote it called "one of the most bizar and singularly extraordinary bankruptcy cases ever." The PTL ministry owed $130 million after it collapsed in 1987 int! midst of a sex-and-money scandal that sent founder Jim Bakker tola eral prison. About 116,000 lifetime partners had contributed $158 million to ministry in return for the promise of free lodging at PTL's Christia theme park. The partners had argued in court that they were entitled to rein bursements. But a judge ruled last year that they were not considere creditors and shouldn't expect anything in return for their contribu tions. If they had been considered unsecured priority creditors, they' have divided the $1.3 million that went instead to the Internal Reveim Service and the state of South Carolina, the Winston-Salem Journalre- ported Wednesday. Each partner would have received no more than55, said Joseph Allman of Winston-Salem, the last of four court-appoirto trustees who handled the case. More than $43 million went to secured creditors, primarily lendm institutions that held liens or mortgages on property, and claims froi York County, S.C. About $4.5 million paid off debts including attorneys' fees, bills froi television stations and cable companies, and employees' claims salaries and medical benefits. The IRS and the state of South Carolina, which had submitted daii totaling $66 million, agreed to share the $1.3 million, the only mon left after other debts were paid. The IRS will get 83 percent, and 17p( cent will go to the state. Bakker resigned as PTL president in 1987 after confessing that hell a sexual encounter with a church secretary in a Florida hotel. Sub; quently, evidence surfaced that he had mismanaged PTL money. Bakker was convicted in 1989 of defrauding his followers.
