Cpl. Larry Dittfurth, of the Texas DPS in Bryan, said a digital imaging system will keep a computerized picture of the person so they can make sure the correct person is get ting the license. “We have had students come in with their brother’s or sister’s birth certificate and get a license,” he said. “We hope this will stop any prob lems we have experienced. “I have a stack of altered dri ver’s licenses sitting by my desk,” Dittfurth said. “Hopefully, the new system will curb any students from trying to get fake IDs at the DPS.” Dittfurth said he thinks the real problem is that students are making the fake IDs in their homes or using someone’s ex pired license. Toscano said people who are caught giving their IDs to a minor could be charged with a felony. “We are not trying to harm the students, but help them in stead,” he said. “We get to see the whole picture and all the damage that is done to people in alcohol-related accidents.” He said that since June, there have been nine fatalities in the Bryan-College Station area due to alcohol. “I know of two minors who were recently released from the hospital,” Toscano said. “Both were under the influence of alco hol, which they had purchased. “We want to stop this be fore anything gets out of hand,” he said. floodir akes 1 Service Fees Continued from Page 1 “Each individual has differ ent ideas and a two person team will be able to get a more detailed look at each depart ment,” he said. Therivel said the committee was taken out of the Student Senate and placed under the ex ecutive branch of student govern ment. He said in the past, the Sen ate was able to make amend ments, but all they can do now is make recommendations and have a yes or no vote. “It removes the perception of bias,” he said. “When a depart ment can make a decision re garding its own budget, it makes it unfair.” Therivel said there has also been a change to give gradu ate students representation that is proportionate to under graduate students’. “We wrote into the by-laws that there has to be a specific graduate student to undergradu ate student ratio,” he said. “Graduate students can’t spend as much time in activities as un dergraduate students can.” Therivel said the committee assigns each member to a de partment during the allocation process. “They go to the department, look at the budget, and make sure the department is using the funds in the best way to serve students,” he said. “Then we give our recommendations to Dr. (Malon) Southerland, (vice presi dent of student affairs).” Britton said committee mem bers listen to the presentations given by each department and essentially go with how they jus tify their money. “You basically use an integrity system,” he said. Sulak said each allocation team will make a presentation to the committee. “We will see where the bud get is standing preliminary wise and see’ where the fee is headed,” he said. Sulak said a lot of the time the budget is in excess and the fee can only go up 10 percents year. “We’ll see where students ALBA, II eared a cai med for wir ite Italians i onday for 11 at killed 51 Another : jys of drivi ance, Spall Hardest I iedmont ar ■aviest rain lid.

Therivel said the committee recommends specific dollar amounts to each department and from that the committee recom mends a grand total. “If the grand total causes each student to pay more, we recom mend a dollar amount per stu dent,” he said. Southerland takes the recom mendations and makes decisions. “In the past, his dollar amount per student has never been different from ours," Therivel said. “The adminis tration respects our decision on how students’ money should be spent.” Therivel said the committee has until spring break to make its recommendations. “The rec ommendations affect the next fis cal year,” he said. ears R ut Tow CHICAGO id Co. said vnership i orld's tal structurin' lancing.
