Adding lighting in seven parking areas on West Cam pus, near the Southside halls and near Kyle Field is next on the list of improvements. Schneider said that in the future the committee will con tinue to target parking lots near residence halls, build ings on West Campus and Research Park. “We have earmarked 26 oth er locations that may need ad ditional lighting,” he said. He added that a consultant will be hired for $25,000 to look at the 26 areas and the rest of campus to detennine where ad ditional lighting is needed. Schneider said the commit tee is taking a proactive ap proach by improving lighting for all the areas on campus that need it, rather than just a few areas. “We’ll do it now as a compre hensive lighting program to complete these projects once and for all,” he said. Leslie Swick, the Physical Plant’s assistant director of re source management, said the approximate cost of the ap proved lighting installations is $350,000. Funding for this lighting comes from the Parking Tran sit and Traffic System, and was approved by Dr. Jerry Gaston, interim vice president for fi nance and administration. Sgt. Betty Lemay, of the UP- D’s Crime Prevention Unit, said additional lighting will help, but that people should still be cautious. “Lighting is the least ex pensive and most effective means of crime prevention,” she said. “However, crime can happen any place and any time. Don’t get a false sense of security just because an area has good lighting.” Clinton proposes his own balanced budget to $10,000 a year in college tuition. Clinton's second budget of the year represented substantial political risk, threatening to alienate some important Democratic constituencies such as the elderly with its deep proposed cuts in domestic programs. Texans make final pitch for bases on closure list WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of being pounded by Republi cans, President Clinton weighed in Tuesday with his own proposal to bal ance the federal budget in 10 years. "Everybody has to give a little," his spokesman said. Clinton was outlining his plan in a brief address carried on the major broadcast networks. His proposal would make $130 bil lion in Medicare cuts over the period, about half of that sought by Republi cans, and trim $25 billion from current subsidies and tax breaks enjoyed by cor porations, according to a White House summary distributed on Capitol Hill. The summary was obtained by The Associated Press. The document also showed that, despite earlier consideration of scaling back his proposed middle-class tax cut, the president was sticking to his full tax-cut proposal. That plan, worth $60 billion in the first five years, calls for a $500 per child tax break and allows families earning under $100,000 to deduct up Bush signs welfare^ medicaid bills AUSTIN (AP) — Needy Texans face new limits on welfare benefits, parents who don't pay child support can lose state licenses and some ex-spouses can get alimony under a bill signed into law Tuesday by Gov. George W. Bush. But the new law — which also re quires welfare recipients to work or study and to agree to abide by certain requirements in return for benefits — still needs some finishing touches. Bush said the state must ask the fed eral government for 27 waivers from rules to fully implement the measure. Federal approval isn't expected until next year, he said. Provisions requiring a federal OK include a requirement for welfare mothers to identify the fathers of chil dren receiving benefits and a three- year maximum limit on benefits. Also Tuesday, Bush signed a bill to restructure the state's Medicaid system to allow it to attract more federal matching dollars and encourage more preventive medicine in the health-care WASHINGTON (AP) — With the fi nal verdict on base closings drawing near, Texas lawmakers have made their last public pitches to save eight Texas defense installations from the base closing commission's hit list. Republican Sens. Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchison, joined by 1 2 House members, appeared Tuesday be fore the Defense Base Closure and Re alignment Commission to argue the Texas case. The testimony marked the final public input by the Texans, who will continue to lobby the commission ers privately up until the last minute. The congressionally mandated commission will vote next week on which of 178 candidate bases nation wide should be closed or realigned. By July 1, the commission must for ward its recommendations to Presi dent Clinton and Capitol Hill. Congress must approve or reject the panel's recommendations in their en tirety, without change. proved relations with a world that) ostracized them. But they alsowari against any "hostile acts."
