Gourrier also suggested six hours
of required courses.
"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

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

Meuret said instructors should
be the ones to determine the mul-
ticulturalism course content.
"The classes have got todt

Meuret said. "You nave themnov

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. Prose
