Page 4 The Battalion Wednesday, March 3,1993 / Barton protests President's plan Continued from Page 1 "We'll all have to tighten the belt when the time comes," he said, "but not the way Clinton is doing it." On the issue of higher education. Barton said he agrees with Clinton's National Service Initiative (NSI), which allows students to pay off college loans with community service after they graduate. "This is a good idea but not a new one," he said. "This has been stuck in committees in Congress for the last six years. This is just a domestic version to the Peace Corps." Texas A&M may have to face cuts in state fund ing because legislators have few alternatives, Barton said. "Texas has a balanced budget, and this is a good thing," he said. "Education is one of the most ex pensive costs to the state, and something must be cut." Barton, currently a U.S. Representative from Texas, is running for Secretary of the Treasury, Lloyd Bentsen's vacated seat, against two other state democrats. Because of this unusual race. Barton said he is changing his strategy. "With so many people running, no one is going to get 50 percent of the vote," he said. "Texas is a big state so I must pick and choose the areas that I wish to emphasize." Barton said the Brazos Valley is one of those areas where he will spend much of his time campaigning. His main opponent is democrat Bob Krueger, now holding the coveted Senate seat. Barton called Krueger a social spending democrat and criticized him for supporting Clinton's economic plan. "Bob Krueger's record shows that he votes for spending increases 94 percent of the time," Barton said. "Texas needs a senator who will support real cuts in wasteful spending instead of tax increases." ’AGGIE’ Private Party Want Ads $10 for 20 words running 5 days, if your merchandise is priced $1000 or less (price must appear in ad).

Fields said he is uncertain whether Clinton's higher educa tion reforms will work. The Na tional Service Initiative, which would allow college students to pay off loans after graduation, is a good idea, but it could be a multibillion dollar program, he said. "I think its important to see the details," he said. "It's concep tually a good concept." Fields differs with the presi dent on other points as well. He said he opposes Clinton's plans to lift the ban on gays in the mili tary. "It could wreck the morale of the greatest fighting force in the world," he said. "For the first time, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have both stood up and opposed the commander in chief." Also, the health care problem could be better solved if the in surance industry was reformed and deregulated, he said. "We should reduce insurance regulation, which is a $15 billion a year cost." he said. "Insurance should be portable between jobs. Which means you can transfer the insurance from employer to employer."

Plan your Continued from Page 1 elected representatives in Austin that more money is needed for higher education in South Texas, Beaumont said. State Rep. Irma Rangel, head of the House Hispanic Caucus, said the requests of the border univer sities have not been at the expense of other universities. "We just want to be at a parity with other schools because South Texas pays their fair share of property taxes, and we feel like we've been paying tax money that has gone elsewhere," she said. "We'd like some of that money to start coming our way," Steve Harmon, Laredo State University (LSU) public informa tion officer, said the recent budget proposals for LSU are the healthi est the university has seen. "We haven't been able to de velop new programs in a speedy fashion," he said. "We've learned to make the best of what we have and develop new, innovative pro grams with what we've been giv en."

Roger Elliott, assistant commis sioner for research, planning and finance for the board, said the same funding is provided for the same activity in every university, Relatively few graduate and doctoral programs are available at border schools, he said. Since the state pays more to institutions who instruct at a graduate level, the border region schools get less money, Elliot said. "It is true that the same num ber of students down on the bor der get less money per student than other universities because the program mix differs," he said. Rangel said there is only one doctoral program in South Texas and few master's programs. "These are the programs that attract students," she said. "It's very difficult to educate students in South Texas because they don't have those programs accessible to them." There are people in South Texas who cannot afford many of the expenses of college life, she said. "You have a lot of students in South Texas who are migrant workers," she said. "They cannot afford the luxuries that some of us can. "We have to make education accessible to them, and we have to provide our universities in the border region with greater acces sibility to quality education," Rangel said.
