Health Tips
By Amy Lamb
Special to The Battalion
Is the space in your dorm not
big enough for all three of you?
Are you and your roommate com
pletely opposite? Are you consid
ering moving? Before you make
any drastic decisions, try these
suggestions to make your life and
your roommate's life easier.
First, discuss personal expec
tations with your roommate.
This usually (deals with behav
iors and personalities. Find out
what things make them happy!
Ask them about personal space
and how they handle stress in
their daily life.
You might want to sit down
and just talk about the above sug
gestions and any other difficul
ties you might have. For exam
ple, inquire about personal val
ues such as smoking, drinking,
studying habits, sleeping habits,
overnight guests and extracurric
ular activities.The majority of
your problems with your room
mate can be resolved if you talk
them out.
If problems arise between
you and your roommate, try
these solutions for arguments
which can act as guidelines to
follow. When you complain
about a problem, have a plan to
solve it. Be patient and listen to
what is being said. Make sure
that when an argument does
arise, discuss it in private.
Consider a compromise be
tween you and your roommate
with each being positive about
the result. With compromise, nei
ther roommate has to fully give
up what she/he was fighting for.
The solutions may not be right
for you, but do not neglect the
problems by ignoring them.
You may not become good
friends with your roommate,
but you must be respectful of
your roommate's thoughts and
feelings. Being able to live with
your roommate requires work
ing together and accepting your
differences in a positive manner.
Any negative feelings that arise
should always be discussed and
understood.
One way of fulfilling this re
quirement is by filling out a
Roommate Bill of Rights. Tnis
form can be obtained from your
resident adviser, Texas A&M
Counseling Services, Health Edu
cation Center and the A.P. Beutel
Health Center.
The Bill of Rights lists specific
items that should be discussed
by each roommate; for example:
study times, a clean environ
ment, when to host guests, per
sonal privacy, etc. This is a help
ful document that eliminates un
wanted stress.
If you need additional assis
tance, please contact your Area
Residence Hall office or come by
the Health Education Center,
Room 016, for further informa
tion on roommate communica
tion, stress, and other health and
wellness problems or concerns.

tions adopted by any environmental pro

titles in which the State of Texas relin
quishes and releases any claim of sover
eign ownership or title to an undivided
one-third interest in and to the lands and
minerals within the Shelby, Frazier, and
McCormick League (now located in Fort

PROPOSITION NO. 4
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 49 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would
prohibit a state personal income tax with
out voter approval and would dedicate
the proceeds of any income tax, if en
acted, to property tax relief and educa
tion. The amendment provides that a
general law enacted by the legislature
that imposes a tax on the net incomes of
natural persons, including a person’s
share of partnership and unincorporated
association income, must provide that the
portion of the law imposing the tax not
take effect until approved by a majority
of the registered voters voting in a state
wide referendum held on the question of
imposing the tax. The referendum must
specify the rate of the tax that will apply
to taxable income.
The amendment also provides that a
general law enacted by the legislature
that increases the rate of the tax, or
changes the tax in a manner that results
in an increase in the combined income tax
liability of all persons subject to the tax,
may not take effect until approved by a
majority of the registered voters voting
in a statewide referendum held on the
question of increasing the income tax.
The referendum must specify the manner
in which the proposed law would increase
the combined' tax liability of all persons
subject to the tax. The legislature may
repeal, or amend without increasing, a
tax approved by the voters without sub
mitting the amendment or the repeal to
the voters. If the legislature repeals a tax
approved by the voters, the legislature
may only reenact the tax without voter
approval if the effective date of the re
enactment of the tax is within one year of
the effective date of the repeal of the tax.
The amendment also provides that, in
the first year in which an income tax is
imposed, and during the first year of any
increase in the tax, not less than two-
thirds of all net revenues from the tax
shall be used to reduce the rate of ad val
orem maintenance and operation taxes
levied for the support of primary and sec
ondary education. In subsequent years,
not less than two-thirds of all net reve
nues of the tax shall be used to continue
such ad valorem tax relief. The net reve
nues of the tax remaining after the dedi
cation of money for reduction of ad val
orem maintenance and operation taxes
shall be used for support of education.
The maximum rate at which a school dis
trict may impose ad valorem maintenance
and operation taxes is reduced by an
amount equal to one cent per $100 valua
tion for each one cent per $100 valuation
that the school district’s ad valorem main
tenance and operation tax is reduced by
the minimum amount of money dedicated
under the amendment, provided that a
school district may subsequently increase
the maximum ad valorem maintenance
and operation tax rate if the increased
maximum rate is approved by a majority
of the voters of the school district voting
at an election called and held for that pur
pose. The portions of the amendment re
lating to dedicating tax revenues to re
duce the rate of ad valorem maintenance
and operation taxes apply on or after the
first January 1 after the date on which an
income tax takes effect, except that if the
income tax begins to apply on a January
1, the amendment applies to ad valorem
maintenance and operation taxes levied
on or after that date.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment pro
hibiting a personal income tax without
voter approval and, if an income tax is
enacted, dedicating the revenue to
education and limiting the rate of local
school taxes.”
PROPOSITION NO. 5
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 18 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would au
thorize the legislature to prescribe the
qualifications of sheriffs. Currently, the
constitution authorizes the legislature to
prescribe the duties, perquisites, and
fees of office, but not the qualifications for
the office of sheriff.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to al
low the legislature to prescribe the
qualifications of sheriffs.”
PROPOSITION NO. 6
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 21 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would
abolish the office of county surveyor in
Jackson County. The amendment also
provides for the powers, duties, and func
tions of the county surveyor to be trans
ferred to the county officer designated by
the commissioners court. ,
The proposed amendment will appear,
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment abol
ishing the office of county surveyor in
Jackson County.”
PROPOSITION NO. 7
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 57 proposes a
constitutional amendment that repeals
article XII, section 6, of the Texas Con
stitution, which currently provides that
no corporation shall issue stock or bonds
except for money paid, labor done, or
property actually received, and that all
fictitious increase of stock or indebted
ness shall be void.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment re
pealing certain restrictions on the
ability of corporations to raise capital.”
PROPOSITION NO. 8
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 22 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would
authorize the commissioners court of
McLennan County to call an election to
abolish the office of county surveyor. The
office of county surveyor will be abolished
if a majority of the qualified voters of
McLennan County voting on the question
favor the abolition. If the office of county
surveyor is abolished, the amendment re
quires the maps, field notes, and other
records in the custody of the county sur
veyor to be transferred to the county
clerk of McLennan County. After aboli
tion, the amendment also grants the com
missioners court of McLennan County
the authority to employ or contract with a
qualified person to perform any of the
functions that would have been per
formed by the county surveyor if the
office had not been abolished.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to
abolish the office of county surveyor in
McLennan County.”
PROPOSITION NO. 9
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 19 proposes an
amendment to article VIII, section 13 of
the Texas Constitution that would modify
the provisions for the redemption of real
property sold at a tax sale. The amend
ment deletes current language in article
VIII, section 13 that allows the legis
lature to provide for the sale of property
without trial to pay for delinquent taxes.
It also states that the deed to the new
owner vests a good and perfect title sub
ject only to redemption as set out in this
amendment or impeachment for fraud.
Language is added limiting application of
the current two-year redemption period
to former owners of residence home
steads and land designated for agricul
tural use sold for unpaid taxes. When
property is sold as the result of a suit to
enforce collection of unpaid taxes, the
amendment would allow the legislature to
limit redemption to property used as a
residence homestead or designated for
agricultural use at the time the suit was
filed. The amendment creates a second
type of redemption for former owners of
real property when property is neither a
residence homestead, nor designated for
agricultural use. These owners would
have a six-month period in which to
redeem their property by paying the
amount of money paid for the property,
including the Tax Deed Recording Fee,
all taxes, penalties, interest, and costs
paid plus an amount not exceeding 25
percent of the aggregate total. The
amendment applies to redemption of
properties sold at a tax sale for which the
purchaser’s deed is filed on or after Janu
ary X, 1994. For redemption of properties
sold at a tax sale for which the pur
chaser’s deed was filed before January 1,
1994, the former law is applicable and re
mains in effect.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to
modify the provisions for the redemp
tion of real property sold at a tax
sale.”
PROPOSITION NO. 10
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 34 proposes a
constitutional amendment that adds a
new section 49-b-2 to article III of the
Texas Constitution. This new section pro
vides that, in addition to the general obli
gation bonds authorized to be issued and
sold by the Veterans’ Land Board (the
“Board”) by sections 49-b ($950 million)
and 49-b-l ($1.3 billion) of article III, the
board may provide for, issue, and sell
general obligation bonds of the state in an
amount not to exceed $750 million to pro
vide financing to Texas veterans. $250
million of the bonds authorized by this
new section shall be used to augment the
Veterans’ Land Fund (the “Land Fund”).
The Land Fund shall be used by the
Board to purchase lands situated in Texas
owned by the United States government,
an agency of the United States govern
ment, the State of Texas, a political sub
division or agency of the State of Texas,
or a person, firm, or corporation. The
lands shall be sold to veterans in quan
tities, on terms, at prices, and at fixed,
variable, floating, or other rates of inter
est determined by the Board. Lands in
the Land Fund that are offered for sale to
veterans and that are not sold may be
sold or resold to the purchasers in quan
tities, terms, prices, and rates of interest
determined by the Board.
New section 49-b-2 creates the Vet
erans’ Housing Assistance Fund II (the
“Housing Fund II”), and $500 million of
the general obligation bonds authorized
by the section shall be used for the Hous
ing Fund II. The Housing Fund II is a
separate and distinct fund from the Vet
erans’ Housing Assistance Fund (the
“Housing Fund”) established under sec
tion 49-b-l of article IIH Money in the
Housing Fund II shall Ire administered
by the Board and shall be used to make
home mortgage loans to veterans for
housing within this state in quantities, on
terms, and at fixed, variable, floating, or
other rates of interest determined by the
Board. The principal of, and interest on,
the general obligation bonds authorized
by this section for the benefit of the
Housing Fund II shall be paid out of the
money of the Housing Fund II. The prin
cipal of, and interest on, the general obli
gation bonds authorized by section 49-b-l
of article III for the benefit of the Hous
ing Fund shall be paid out of money in the
Housing Fund. If . there is not enough
money in the Land Fund, the Housing
Fund, or the Housing Fund II, as the
case may be, available to pay the prin
cipal of, and interest on, the general obli
gation bonds authorized by this section or
by sections 49-b or 49-b-l of article III,
there is appropriated out of the first
money coming into the treasury in each
fiscal year an amount that is sufficient to
pay the principal of, and interest on, the
general obligation bonds that mature or
become due during that fiscal year.
If the Board determines that assets
from the Land Fund, the Housing Fund,
or the Housing Fund II are not required
for purposes of the fund, the Board may
transfer the assets to another of those
funds or use the assets to secure revenue
bonds issued by the Board. The revenue
bonds shall be special obligations of the
Board and payable only from and secured
by receipts of the funds, assets trans
ferred from the funds, and other reve
nues as determined by the Board and
shall not constitute indebtedness of the
State of Texas or the Board. The Board
may issue revenue bonds from time to
time, which bonds may not exceed an ag
gregate principal amount that the Board
determines can be fully retired from the
receipts of the funds. The revenue bonds
shall be sold in forms, denominations, and
in installments, and bear a rate or rates
of interest as the Board determines.
The general obligation bonds autho
rized to be issued by the Board by this
section or be sections 49-b and 49-b-l of
article III shall be issued and sold in
forms and denominations, on terms, at
times, in the manner, at places, in install
ments, and shall bear a rate or rates
of interest the Board determines. The
bonds shall be incontestable after execu
tion by the Board, approval by the At
torney General of Texas, and delivery to
the purchaser.

TOKYO — Anheuser-Busch Inc. is preparing to announce a joiiil
venture with Japan's No. 1 beer maker, Kirin Brewery Co. Ltd., inorda

Anheuser, the world's biggest brewer, is dropping an affiliation with]
smaller brewer, Suntory Ltd. to link up with Kirin. The U.S. breweristhe
biggest foreign beer in Japan, yet has only a 1.2 percent market share.
Anheuser is also hoping to take advantage of recent moves to dereg
ulate the alcohol industry by becoming the first foreign brewer to set
up its own distribution network.
Anheuser-Busch had relied on Suntory, Japan's largest whiskey
maker but a lightweight in the beer business, to brew and market Bud-
weiser under license since 1984.
Bud sales had been growing, but not at the rate one might expectfor
the world's top brand.
The St. Louis brewer hopes to change all that with the deal to be an

and 10 percent by Kirin, which controls half the domestic beer market
and is the fourth biggest brewer worldwide.

actuarial assumptions to be used by the
system.
