Continued from Page 1
The debate at UH is led by UH
Faculty Senate President George
Reiter. Reiter's concerns stem
from liis belief that a college is an
educational institution rather than
place for sports.
"Faculty wonder why we're
supporting a piece of the entertain
ment industry and a training camp
for the pros," George Reiter said in
an article appearing in the Houston
Chronicle. "What's it doing here?
What's it got to do with education?
The faculty's sense is that it is a
misplaced priority."
Texas A&M faculty members,
however, do not share the critical
view of their UH colleagues.
Kaisor said, "I think what has
happened up to this point in the
faculty's perception is that the
athletic department has brought
favorable perceptions about the
University. The most significant
factor in the evaluation of the de
partment would be if the objec
tives of intercollegiate athletics
were complimentary with those
of Texas A&M."
Penny King, assistant athletic
director for business, said, "We
have a very good relationship
with our faculty. Many of them
buy season tickets for our football
games even though they still have
to pay full price. I think that says
a lot for the support our faculty
gives the athletic program."
Some members urged caution
in regards to the emphasis on the
athletic program.
Smith said, "I think we should
just be careful not to overempha
size the athletic program. But
athletics provides us with a win
dow to the public and to our for
mer students that would be
closed otherwise.
"Many former students identi
fy with the athletic program, but
end up supporting the academic
side. It's a good way to portray
the image of the university."
The UH debate comes a year
after the faculties at Rice Univer
sity and Southern Methodist
University voted to move down
one division in competition or
remove athletics altogether. The
boards of directors at both
schools, however, decided to
- keep the schools at their current
levels of competition.
The debates at the other
schools around the Southwest
Conference stem from their de
partments running deficits in the
range of $2 to $4 million. Athlet
ics at A&M, however, does not
run a budget deficit.
"We've been very successful
over the last few years v/ith our
budget," King said.

Rouse said the tobacco compa
ny RJ Reynolds also began the ad
vertising campaign "Don't Throw
Your Butt On The Beach" after the
center concluded cigarette butts
were littering Texas beaches.
Traylor said TEAC usually par
ticipates in the Coastal Clean Up
Program and the Great Texas
Trash Off. However, due to
scheduling conflicts, TEAC wasn't
able to attend the trash off this
year, she said.
Rouse said 35 states and 50
countries participated in the 1993
Coastal Clean Up program. In
Texas, over 11,060 volunteers
gathered 198 tons of trash from
183 miles of beach. Items such as
bags of cocaine and a pregnancy
test were found on the beaches.
Volunteers picked up 12 tons
of trash from five miles of beach
surrounding Matagorda Bay.
Rouse said most of the trash is left
by commercial fisherman fishing
along the Gulf Coast.
