Robert Smith, vice president of finance and administration, said the University asked Coca-Cola USA to provide $5.2 million for the funding of seven endowments. He said the money was de posited last Friday and the differ ent groups will begin drawing in terest from the accounts at an esti mated 6 percent interest rate. The endowments were distrib uted as follows: $1 million to Ster ling C. Evans Library, $1 million Library, Student Government among entities to benefit from endowments for minority scholarships, $500,000 for scholarships for de pendent children of support staff, $500,000 for visual and perform ing arts, $500,000 for athletics, $300,000 for the Residence Hall Association, and $200,000 for Stu dent Government. Student Body President Brian Walker said the interest from the $200,000 Student Government en dowment will help fund pro grams sponsored by about 30 committees operating under Stu dent Government, and possibly create new ones. "We can't allocate all the Midnight Yell Practice For those students and faculty planning to travel to this weekend's Texas Tech-Texas A&M football game, a midnight yell practice, with the A&M yell leaders, will be held Friday in Lubbock at the parking lot one block north of the Civic Center, between Fourth and Sixth Streets.

"Many times a program like Muster will be funded by us and have to rely on donations also. Hopefully, this money will help some of them become a little more self- supportive so they won't have to rely so much on donations." Walker said Student Govern ment was allocated $74,000 last year. He said the optimum bud get would be $103,000. RHA President Chris Thomp son said he would like to see the interest from the $300,000 RHA be used to fund new programs. "RHA Casino Night inH( spring is our biggest program, Thompson said. "I'd like tost* the money go toward establish ing a similar program duringti fall semester." Thompson also suggestedth money go toward setting upi general hall improvement fund "Maybe somewhere down the road, we could setup something like a hall improw ment fund halls could borm from if they wanted to starli new project, and they didn't have the necessary funds Thompson said. "I know southside dorms are interested setting up a volleyball courtki not all the dorms have the ey. This kind of fund could them out." Ffutchison Continued from Page 1 Lewis said Earle was a political opponent of Hutchison's and is prosecuting her for the U.S. Sen ate job he wanted. He also said it is a conflict of interest for Earle to prosecute Hutchison because his wife worked for Gov. Ann Richards during the same time Hutchison was state treasurer. "Much is at stake for the De mocrats," he said. "Richards, Earle and Mauro (land commis sioner) and all the other politi cians in Austin have a big prob lem with Hutchison at the top of the ticket in 1994." Lewis cited Hutchison's gar nering of one of the largest statewide votes in Texas history. She won the Senate election in June with 67 percent of the vote. James said if one person can claim politics in this situation, it is Bob Krueger, Hutchison's oppo nent in the June runoff election for the Senate seat she now holds. "Earle knew about this dur ing the campaign and sat on it," James said. "He could have in dicted Hutchison during the election, but that is not his poli cy. If she'd have been indicted, he (Krueger) might have U.S. senator. "When Hutchison sapifspol- itics, that's just silliness/' he said Van 1 lightower said, "Ronnie Earle doesn't play those games He has taken on both Democrats and Republicans." Everyone agreed they would like to know the outcome of the trial before the deadline loan- nounce candidacy for the 1991 Senate elections. But, Lewis said, he doesn't ex pect the trial to take place fora long time because the judge inthe case, a Democrat, will let it string out as long as possible. He questioned the entire legal process involved in Hutchison's indictment, saying that the jury was not drawn at random but appointed by the prosecution and judge. Lewis said 10 of the 12 jurors were Democrats and the other two didn't vote in the last primary Van Hightower said it is easy for those in political life to themselves in trouble. "There are gray areas in roles of being a public official and a political official. There is tremendous pressure to raise money, and short cuts are by 99 percent of politicians." You're History!
