Uvalde School District May
Lose Funding Over Mex-Ams
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. <A>)
The Uvalde, Tex., school district
may lose all its federal funds in
a dispute over policies concern
ing Mexican-Americans, it was
disclosed Wednesday.
Health, Education and Welfare
officials said the Southwest Tex
as school district already is
barred from applying for new
federal grants, pending a Nov.
13 hearing.
All HEW funds could be or
dered terminated if it is found
after the hearing that the dis
trict has violated the Civil Rights
Act, an HEW lawyer said.
The issue came to light here
Wednesday when Ramsey Muniz,
the Raza Unida candidate for
governor, declared that federal
funds have been withdrawn from
the schools of Uvalde, home of
Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
roti soMt snrrr uptown dktssim ,

nee Dolph Briscoe.
Muniz told a San Antonio Jun
ior College audience that all fed
eral money had been withdrawn
because of discrimination against
Mexican American pupils.
Uvalde school officials denied
they have lost any federal funds
so far but did confirm that the
district “cannot for the time be
ing apply for any new pro
grams.”
“We’re getting all our money
regularly as in the past,” said
Uvalde School Supt. R. E. By-
rom.
In Dallas, HEW regional at
torney John Stokes said the Civil
Rights Office of HEW had found
what he called “quite a number”
of violations by the school dis
trict involving alleged discrimi
nation against Mexican-American
pupils.
HEW is seeking to terminate
all federal funds to the district
unless it meets federal civil
rights guidelines, Stokes said.
He said this question will be tak
en up at the Nov. 13 hearing in
Dallas.
Stokes said the Uvalde District
now is receiving nearly $1 mil
lion a year in federal money.
Mexican-American unrest sur
faced openly at Uvalde in 1970,
when up to 600 Mexican-Ameri-
can pupils boycotted classes there
for six weeks through the end of
school. At the time, a little more
than half the 3,650 pupils in the
Uvalde school system were Mex
ican-American.
Stokes said the district has
failed to take into account the
language and culture of Mexican-
American children, among other
things.
“The violations also deal with
over inclusion of Mexican-Amer-
ican children in classes for edu-
cable, non-retarded children and
a failure to have bilingual, bi-
cultural teachers to work with
Mexican-American c h i 1 d r e n,”
Stokes said.
He added that HEW found the
school district also discriminated
against Mexican-American teach
ers.
In his speech at San Antonio
Junior College, Muniz declared
that Mexican-Americans com
prise 85 per cent of the school
population in Uvalde, and that
there is discrimination against
the Spanish-surnamed in both the
school district and junior college
there.
With discrimination in Bris
coe’s home town, “imagine the
discrimination that’s going to ex
ist in the state of Texas under
Brisco as governor,” the Raza
Unida candidate asserted.

New Members Welcome
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
brought its show to a full house
last Friday night in G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
They moved through jug-band,
country and western, bluegrass
and rock and roll smoothly, show
ing surprising versatility and
skill at each.
NGDB used an accordion, ban
jo, mandolin, washboard, electric
fiddle and some other weird
things to produce the variety of
sounds necessary to handle their
wide range of music.
After a somewhat shaky start,
Nitty Gritty did their only big
hit, “Mr. Bojangles.” I was sur
prised to hear it so early in the
concert, as I had expected it to
be the highpoint of the show and,
therefore saved until last.
However, it was only when
they finished the song that they
began to get warmed up. With
the harmonica and guitar lines
blending perfectly, NGDB sailed
through Mike Nesmith’s “Shelly’s
Blues,’’ sounding better live than
on record.
Then they lit into “The Battle
of New Orleans,” and the fiddler
came up front. From that mo
ment on he was the focal point
of the band’s uniqueness; danc
ing back and forth across the
stage, all the while sawing furi
ously on his white fiddle.
They kept the pace rapid and
the crowd bouncing through a
really nice version of “House at
Pooh Corner,” a tune off the al
bum “Sittin’ In” by Kenny Log-
gins and Jim Messina.
Then the steel guitar slipped
in and introduced a couple of
Hank Williams goodies.
They ended the set with a cos
tume switch and musically rolled
the calendar back to 1956. It was
fun playing the game with them,
but somehow I kept wanting to
hear them do something else like
“Shelly’s Blues,” where they
could get together and just play
something straight.
The most interesting bit of
musical information I’ve seen in
a long time came up last week.
In a movie’s sound track produc
tion, frequently voices are sub
stituted for the persons on screen
during singing scenes.
In “The Wizard of Oz,” the
trio of singing Munchkins that
welcomed Dorothy used the
dubbed in voices of three young
singers, Rod Robinson, Bud Linn
and John Dobson.
