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."

program, he said.
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."

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."

state universities is driven by
formulas set by the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board.
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.
