Texas students, parents paying]
higher percentage of college cost!
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas students and parents
have paid a greater share of higher education costs
than the state over the past decade and the trend will
continue unless the state changes how it funds its
colleges. Higher Education Commissioner Don
Brown said Thursday.
Since 1989, students have
increasingly carried more of the
load because Texas has dropped the
percentage of money spent per stu
dent in higher education. Brown
said.
Brown presented information on
spending trends to the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board as
part of the agency’s Closing the
Gaps initiative. The goal of the cam
paign is to increase enrollment of
minority and poor students.
The rising costs hurts the very
students the campaign is trying to reach, said deputy
commissioner Teri Flack.
“The dramatic increase in tuition and fees is
stripping families’ ability to pay,” Flack said.
In 1989, it cost an average of $7,809 for a student
to attend a state college. Of that, the state paid
$6,375 with the student picking up $1,434. or about
18 percent, through tuition and fees.
But when the oil industry collapsed in Texas in

Court rejects odor-based drug bit
AUSTIN (AP) — The smell
of marijuana did not give Abilene
police officers probable cause to
enter a home, the Court of
Criminal Appeals has ruled,
upholding a Taylor County trial
judge’s suppression of marijuana
seized at a house.
“The odor of marijuana,
standing alone, does not author
ize a warrantless search and
seizure in a home,” wrote Judge
Charles Holcomb in a 6-3 opin
ion released Wednesday.
“This case is about the right
of citizens to be left alone in the
privacy of their homes,” wrote
Judge Cathy Cochran in a con
curring opinion.
Police, acting on an anony
mous tip, arrived at the home of
Leo and Ian Steelman, a father
and son who work as electricians,
on April 21, 1998, and seized
marijuana. The officers peered
into the house through a crack in
a window blind and saw four men
sitting in a living room but
observed no illegal activity.
According to the court’s opin
ion, the officers then knocked on
the front door, which was opened
by lan Steelman, who stepped
outside and closed the door
behind him.
The officers smelled the odor
of burnt marijuana and proceeded
to burst through the doorway,
handcuff the men and place them
under arrest.
When police executed a
search warrant about two hours
later they found the
