Elerick said
Sen Maureen Coulchan and
Laura Robledo, traffic court
justice, expressed concern that
divestment may have economic
effects like another tuition in-
crease for students at the Univer-
But Twining responded the UT
System can find other countries
to invest in He added if enough
premure is put on the South
African government, the govern-
ment may be forced to open
dialogue between whites and
blacks and accept them as
citizens
should this happen. Twining
said, the UT System would again
continue investing there
The senate’s action, Elerick
said, is to make a political point
to the South African government
that apartheid is inhumane and
must end
‘‘They (blacks) are not
recognized at people or citizens
of their own country," she said
"I'm voting me comience "
Twining echoed similar ven-
timents
"I think all 120 (students) who
voted tor mt would go along with
that (against apartheid).” he
said
Beside IBM and E icon, other
UT System-owned Rocks include
General Electric, General
Motors, Eastman Kodak, Mobil
Oil, Coca-Cola, American Ex
press, Tennecco, Phillips
Petroleum, Boring and Johnson
& Johnson and Sears, Roebuck

the whole city will be affected We will
have to change our habits,” Price said
Some changes will include more em-
phasis on city transportation and car pool-
ing Maps will be made showing construe-
tion areas and alternate routes will be
displayed. Price said
Although construction will not begin un
til April, or as late as May, Anderton said
the change in class schedules must start
with the spring semester
"Our dilemma was that we can't start at
8 a.m. in January and then change to 7.30
a.m in April We run the risk of being
criticized if the highway department
doesn’t start until May, or at the end of the
semester," Anderson said
Construction will include two seperate
projects, Hubbard said One is the con-
struction planned from the Fort Bliss
Railroad spur, the railroad track im-
mediately west of Airway. The freeway will
be widened from Auway to McRae at the
start of April There are presently three
lanes there now and there will be four when
work o completed. Hubbard said.
The second phase of the project will be
at Chelsea to the Fort Bliss Railroad spur
An additional lane will be added in each
direction In conjunction with this project,
ramps will be changed in the Bassett Center
area
In addition, several overpass bridges will
be rebuilt or redecked in various areas
more modern designs will be given to en-
trance ramps
