Resort plan draws comment near Brownsville
A proposed 12 200 acre Playa del Rio beach resort eight miles east of Brownsville would create about 20 000 jobs and add over 350 million dollars yearly, but environmentalists warn the site is a vital nursery for oysters and wildlife. The project faces a public hearing with the Army Corps of Engineers, which must approve the 8 000 acres under its jurisdiction before construction begins. Local officials voice a balance of growth and conservation amid regional unemployment and past peso devaluations.

Regents Delay Vote on Faculty Pay Cuts at LC
LC regents delayed action on faculty pay reductions and voted 6 to 1 to cap the 1986-87 insurance payment at 196.70 dollars. Regent John Adams was absent as Oswald Harman moved to not consider a summer pay cut. The board discussed appointing department chairmen for six months to align with LC president Vivian Blevins’s planned reorganization, but Coffey argued chairmen appointments are part of the vice president role and should run through May 1987. Jerry Alston said he expects chairmen appointments at least through the school year for budgeting.
