Voters approve
Proposition 13
By Christy Moore
Managing Editor
Sixty-five percent of Texas voters marked their ballot
in favor of higher education Tuesday and passed Proposi-
tion 13, the constitutional amendment dealing with the
Hinson-Hazlewood College Student Loan Program.
It will allow the State of Texas to sell up to $300
million in bonds to finance approved financial aid. This
will be at no expense to the taxpayers.
"We were very pleased that the voters of Texas opted
to allow the Coordinating Board to proceed with the bonds
to generate money for students," said Dr. Dennis McCabe,
President of Tarleton State University. "If it had not passed
we would have found many students in financial trouble.
The voters of Texas exercised a collective wisdom that
will serve many students well for years to come. We
couldn't be more pleased."
The program was up for a revote due to its placement
in a controversial election in which voters were unaware of
the effects of the bill or found themselves confused by the
bill's wording, according to legislators. In this election, the
proposal passed in a 65 percent to 35 percent vote.

Trinity Meadows Racetrack in Weatherford is
hosting Tarleton Day on Thursday, Nov. 14, in which
2 percent of the track's handle (total earnings for the
day) will benefit Tarleton's equine program.
Tarleton Day at the racetrack will be an approved
event by the Texas Racing Commission. Each year,
^Trinity Meadows racetrack is required to designate
three days of the racing season to a non-profit organi-
zation, racetrack officials said.
One of these sponsorship days is set aside for
programs in which students and the future of the equine
industry in Texas are involved. This is the category in
which Tarleton was accepted as recipient of the funds.
Track owners Jimmy Bradley, Jack Johnson and
Jack Lenavitt accepted Dr. Dennis McCabe's letter of
application for the event which was sent last April.
