Tenneco to provide utilities
By Lisa Elliott
The Battalion
The Texas A&M University
System Board of Regents autho
rized an agreement Friday with
Tenneco Power Generation Co. of
Houston to provide the campus
with steam, hot and chilled water
and electricity.
The University considered of
fers from CSW Energy, Inc. and
the city of College Station but de
cided Tenneco made the most eco
nomic sense.
Joe Sugg, director of the Phys
ical Plant, said this project will
provide energy needs to the Uni
versity and charge only for utili
ty usage costs.
Sugg said the University will
lease real estate to Tenneco and
pay them for the University's util
ity needs. He said by transferring
the risks to the developer, Ten-
neco's proposal made the most
economic sense.
"The cost of utilities is the
largest single line item cost to the
University," he said.
Sugg said he hopes to finalize
the agreement by the end of the
month. If everything goes accord
ing to plan, the new plant will be
gin construction before Christmas
and will be providing the Univer
sity with water by September
1994. The plant will be fully opei
ational by August 1995.
The details of the project will
be released when the plans havi
been finalized.
In addition to the Tennecopr»
ject, the Board approved plans
expand and renovate G. Rol
White Coliseum.
The renovations will expand
seating capacity, improve andin
crease restroom facilities and
dressing rooms and bring tht
building up to current fire safe!)'
codes and standards set by the
Americans with Disabilities Act
The project will cost the Uni verst
ty an estimated $29 million.

A&M to improve Evans Library
By Lisa Elliott
The Battalion
The Texas A&M University System Board of Re
gents created a fund Friday that will improve Ster
ling C. Evans Library, which is currently ranked 49th
in the nation among university libraries.
System Regent John R. Lindsey said he was sur
prised at the low ranking, which is based on the
quantity of materials rather than the quality, and
said he wants to improve on it.
Marylou Goodyear, interim library director, said
the ranking and the budget will improve as soon as
the West Campus wing is complete.
Interim University President E. Dean Gage said
the ranking, although still low, has increased from
number 65 in 1989. The increase in ranking coin
cides with the increased budget that went from $6.7
million in 1989 to the current $8.3 million, he said.
Gage said he expects the budget to increase be
cause of a $1 per semester hour increase in the stu
dent computing access fee, which went into effect
this semester, and the newly established fund ap
proved by the Board Friday.
The fund, valued at $1 million, is a result of a new
contract between the University and Coca-Cola USA.
The contract was established to provide a partner
ship between Coca-Cola and the University to set up
a number of funds.
In addition to the $1 million allotted to the library,
$1 million was given to minority scholarships,
$500,000 for scholarships for dependent children of
support staff, $500,000 for visual and performing arts,
$500,000 for the athletic department, $300,000 for the
Residence Hall Association, $200,000 for Student Gov
ernment and $500,000 for international initiatives.
The Board gave the president of A&M authority
to determine how the other funds will be used.
The money raised by the contract will be part of
A&M's Capturing the Spirit Campaign, a university
wide fund-raising campaign.
Aggie enrollment at all-time high
By Lisa Elliott
The Battalion
Interim University President E.
Dean Gage announced Friday that
Texas A&M University enrollment
has reached an all-time high.
Including the Galveston cam-
pous, A&M has 43,752 students,
6,397 of whom are freshmen.
Gage said he was most im
pressed with the increase in mi
nority enrollment which now ac
counts for 14 percent of the total
student body. However, he said,
there was a significant decrease in
international student enrollment.
The number of minorities grad
uating last year from A&M in
creased by more than 33 percent
since the 1989-90 school year.
Gage said the largest increase in
enrollment in A&M's colleges oc
curred in the College of Veterinary
Medicine, and the largest decrease
was in the College of Liberal Arts.
The trend seems to point to
more high school graduates going
into science-related areas of
study, he said.
In addition to the University's
increased enrollment, all System
schools reported significant in
creases in enrollment. The largest,
an almost nine percent increase,
occurred at Texas A&M Interna
tional University.
According to the annual sum
mary of the Texas Education Op-
prortunity Plan for Higher Educa
tion, A&M showed an overall in
crease in minority employment in
executive, administrative an
managerial positions.
