AUSTIN (A*)—The public has
a right to know what motions are
made at closed meetings and how
their elected representatives vote
on them, Rep. Dave Allred of
Wichita Falls told a House com
mittee Wednesday night.
Allred said his bill amending
the open meetings law was needed
to clarify some questions that
have arisen.
Meetings of governmental
bodies may be closed to deal with
personnel, real estate or security
matters.
Under Allred’s bill notice of
meetings of public bodies would
have to be posted in advance even
if they were to be entirely behind
closed doors.
And the minutes of the closed
meeting would have to be posted
within three days after the meet
ing.
The minutes would include only
the motions that were made and
how the members of the govern
mental unit voted on them.
“This, I submit, is part of the
public’s right to know how their
elected representatives voted,"
Allred told the House State Af
fairs Committee.
Allred is on leave of absence
as a reporter for the Wicliitj
Times and Record News durinj
the legislative session.
Ed Horn, managing editor of
the Bryan Daily Eagle, sail
Allred’s bill would make closed
meetings a matter of record.
“As it is now there is no notice
to the public that these meeting!
are being held,” Horn said.
Allred’s bill was referred toi
subcommittee composed of Rep;
D. R. “Tom” Uher of Bay City,
chairman, and Joe Hawn «!
Dallas and Neal Soloman o[
Mount Vernon.
Also referred to subcommittee!
were two bills by Rep. Bill Swan

Pollution detecting ’scope developed
HOUSTON UP) — A University
of Houston professor has come
up with a telescope that could
make a lot of pollution control
experts happy—and put a lot of
polluters in court.
Dr. H. William Prengle, pro
fessor of chemical engineering at
the university, has developed a
telescope to sample pollution
from a distance.
Now pollution control inspec
tors must gather samples from
the source of pollution by setting
up chemical monitoring devices.
Frequently they must be so far
away to catch the fallout from
high smokestacks that other pol
lutants, for example from passing
automobiles, foul up their sampl
ing and makes it useless as legal
evidence.
Dr. Prengle’s telescope, he be
lieves, will be able to focus on
what’s coming out of the smoke
stack and detect invisible infra
red rays stemming from pollut
ants.
By measuring frequencies of
the rays, the telescope and re
lated electronic equipment will
identify pollutants, measure their
volumes and track their paths
and chemical changes.
In effect, the device would be
like having a pollution sampling
Cinema adds ‘Battle of Bulge’
for spring show Friday at 8
A special attraction, “Battle of
the Bulge,” has been added to the
Aggie Cinema for the spring
semester.
Chairman David Anschutz said
the movie starring Henry Fonda
and Robert Ryan will be shown
Friday at 8 p.m. in the Memorial
Student Center Ballroom.
“It’s a real ‘tiger” flick,” com
mented Anschutz, noting that
only
admission for this feature
will be 50 cents per person.
Other spring presentations of
the MSC committee include “From

“Zulu,” March 27; Science Fiction
Night, April 17, and “Under the
