By Allie Kolechta Daily Texan Staff

Members of three student committees submitted recommendations to their deans to suggest ways to best spend their colleges’ budgets for this semester. The College of Liberal Arts’ and the Cockrell School of Engineering’s College Tuition and Budget Advisory Com- mittees and the College of Communication’s Student Is- sues and Advisory Commit- tee submitted the recommendations. The liberal arts committee submitted its proposal on Oct. 11. The Tuition Policy Advisory Committee gave the College of Communication a proposal, which the SIAC en- dorsed on Oct. 11, and the engineering proposal was given to its dean last week. TPAC must review all three of these recommendations and submit its amended ver- sions to President William Powers Jr. by the end of No- vember, said Michael Morton, spokesman for the Senate of College Councils. Then, Pow- ers will send his revisions of the proposals to the Board of Regents who will make final tuition decisions, he said. “Every CTBAC has their own process,” Morton said. “All three of those schools have been meeting throughout the semester and looking over the budget for their individual colleges, deciding what their priorities are.” Each CTBAC and the SIAC are made up of representa- tives from their colleges and focus on making the decidedly best choices for their college, Morton said. “Liberal Arts Dean Randy Diehl has been very support- ive,” he said. “Engineering has been pretty much iden- tical. I haven’t really heard anything back about communications, but I would say all of the feedback has been positive.” The communications proposal was given by Com- munications Dean Roder- ick Hart for review by the SIAC, said chairwoman Jannah Deis. “We looked over his proposal and talked about it and came up with our endorse- ment,” she said. “There’s a couple of points in there. We want more professors, more TA’s, more advisers for students at academic risk, special programs and more online programs.”

SOCCER SIDELINE Texas opens Big 12 tournament against Tech NHL

By Sara Beth Purdy Daily Texan Staff

Though the regular season is over, there is still work to be done. The Longhorns (10-7-1, 3-4-1) will play in San Antonio today for the first round of the Big 12 Tournament. “Our whole mindset has been to start strong, finish stronger,” said senior Kylie Doniak. “We’re ready for the tournament, we’re ready to finish the season strong.” Texas is seeded No. 5 in the eight- team tournament. Oklahoma State, the No. 2 team in the nation, is the top seed in the tourney, while Iowa State didn’t qualify for it and Kansas State does not field a varsity team. It looks like it will be a difficult road ahead for the Longhorns. “The Big 12 tournament is difficult.
