AUSTIN — Legislative leaders
said Tuesday they were looking
cautiously at Comptroller John
Sharp's latest audit of state agen
cies and its suggestions for saving
about $4.5 billion.
The audit, the second to scruti
nize spending by the more than
200 state agencies, will propose
restructuring government by con
solidating some agencies and
making other economies, accord
ing to officials who had been
briefed on the report.
Sharp will make the audit pub
lic on Thursday. Two years ago, a
similar study proposed about
54.4 billion in savings measures.
But lawmakers enacted only
about 60 percent, or $2.4 billion,
of those cuts.
This year, with Gov. Ann
Richards and Lt. Gov. Bob Bul
lock vowing to oppose any tax in
crease, lawmakers are facing a
projected budget deficit of about
$3 billion.
"I have all the confidence in
Mr. Sharp bringing us some
things that he would like to see.
Then we'll look at them and see
what we think are good, legiti
mate cuts," said House Speaker
Pete Laney, D-Hale Center.
As for consolidating agencies,
Laney said there are differing
views on the concept.
"There's a lot of discussion of
different viewpoints as to what
consolidation does, whether that
actually does save the dollars,"
he said. "That's what (happened)
last session, most of the com
ments were ... that consolidation
sometimes costs more money
than it saves."
Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, who pre
sides over the Senate, said he did
not want to comment until he
studied Sharp's proposal more
thoroughly.
But he did say that savings
projected from one-time account
ing maneuvers and payment de
lays can come back to haunt law
makers.
"Any time you delay or push
forward . . . look for it to come
back to you in a few years," he
said. Bullock said that as state
comptroller in the 1980s he rec
ommended accounting moves
that were enacted to help Texas
deal with budget deficits.
I must say it taught me some
lessons that I am now having to
live with. It was a real conve
nience to (Lt.) Gov. Hobby at the
time, and little did I ever believe
that it would be a burden on my
back," he said.
According to state officials and
published reports. Sharp is
preparing to offer lawmakers a
buffet of 192 money-saving sug
gestions. Among recommenda
tions:
— Creating one state agency to
oversee lottery, bingo and pari
mutuel horse and dog race wa
gering. Currently, separate agen
cies handle each.
— Giving state park superin
tendents more flexibility to set
fees and turn some operations
over to private companies.

would penalize college-affiliated
organizations if they engage in
racial or sexual harassment, and
require all students to take at
least three hours of multicultural
studies before graduation.
"Public universities are fund
ed by tax dollars and come from
citizens of all different races and
creeds. If students want to prac
tice discrimination in the privacy
of their homes, have at it. But
they shouldn't be allowed to do it
on my tax dollar," Wilson said.
At Texas A&M in October, a
party by the university's Sigma
Alpha Epsilon chapter had a jun
gle theme with pledges wearing
grass skirts ad black body paint,
and participating in a "slave
hunt." A&M officials have said
the chapter violated school regu
lations and was disciplined.
Days after the incident at
A&M, Texas Tech's Pi Kappa Al
pha chapter had a party with a
Tife-in-the-ghetto" theme and a
person dressed in Ku Klux Klan
robes. The fraternity has escaped
punishment by arguing its ac
tions were protected under the
constitutional guarantee of free
speech.
'"There is some offensive be
havior and speech that is not pro
tected by the Constitution," Wil
son said.

said Texas Southern Dean of Judi
cial Affairs Joseph L. Williams
told the students in a meeting
Monday they would be reinstated
if they enrolled in a particular
ethics class. Not all of the sus
pended students attended the
meeting, Johnson said.
Williams would not discuss
Monday's meeting. University
spokesman Chuck Smith also re
fused to talk about the meeting,
explaining that it was confidential
and that Williams' committee has
not passed along a report about it.
"We have no comment on
that," Smith told The Associated
Press Tuesday. "There's been no
report submitted to anyone in
writing."
A court order Johnson won has
allowed her to resume classes un
til a disciplinary hearing is held.
The hearing was held Friday, but
results were not immediately dis
closed.
