THE BATTALION TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1974 Page 3 if i' ■ Kave /en ill] lnt K reat ^ AUSTIN (AE > ) — Disregarding ts own committee’s recommenda- rincj^l ions, the Texas Constitutional hav» f* Convention Monday wrote the historic Railroad Commission, out of the proposed new state con- titution. The vote was 87-78. Much of the hot debate cen tred around the commission’s ctions, or lack of action, in the energy crisis and the inability of oastal States Producing Co. to ervice Austin, San Antonio and Corpus Christi with contracted latural gas for electric genera tion. The convention also: • Decided 108-49 on a new con- titutional provision that would JRS. lea ' on < and n after officer lonth of yon f i will be 9. 1971 ■ answer or other ou can't m der ommission tossed out have the approximately 230 state agencies self-destruct every 10 years unless renewed by the leg islature. • Voted 114-33 to put the Par dons and Paroles Board back in the proposed constitution against recommendations of the Executive Committee and the Constitutional Revision Commission. The action by the convention, if finally approved by voters, will leave the future of the Railroad Commission to the legislature. Its present makeup, including state wide election of the three mem bers, will remain as it is unless changed by the legislature. Sen. Lloyd Doggett.D-Austin, and Reps.

Bill Meier, D- Euless, in defense. “The repu tation this agency has maintained over the years is worth preserv ing in the constitution.” Traffic flow may improve with rezoning College Station’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved a zone change request for land at the inter section of Highway 6 South and FM 2818 at its meeting last night. Nine tracts totaling 276.5 acres in the Crawford Burnett League were rezoned to include an inter-subdivision service road to aid in traffic flow within the planned residential area. What the road will do is provide a means of traveling from one section of the subdivision to another without having to use Highway 6. In Bryan, residents on the north side of the highway must use the highway to gain access to other parts of their subdivi sion. They have no service road such as the one proposed for the College Station subdivision, one commissioner pointed out. The Commission also: -Approved consideration of the preliminary plat of Southwood, Sec tion 20; -Postponed consideration of re- zoning for the Shiloh Club land tract at the request of the club’s owner.

The film was produced in Ger many and depicts “the desperation of Silesian weavers in the Nine teenth Century and, through mass scenes of characters, shows their attempt at revolt.” The presentation sponsored by the Department of Modern Lan guages, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, in Room 228 of the Chemistry Building. The public is invited to attend the admission-free showing. American poet Laurence Lieberman, one of the major young American poets, will present a reading of his poems at 8 p. m., Tuesday, in the Rudder Center Forum. There is no charge for the program which is sponsored by the Arts Committee of the Memorial Student Center. The 39-year-old Lieberman, a native of Detroit with degrees from the University of Michigan, is a professor of English at the University of Illinois, Champaign- Urbana, and a reviewer of mod ern poetry for Yale Review. A recently published book, “The Osprey Suicides” (Macmillan, 1973), has been widely praised. Fellow poet Mark Strand termed Lieberman’s new poems “radiant with energy and intelligence . . . grand, big-gestured, hypnotic.” There will be a question period after the reading, and refresh ments will be available. Lieberman is the fifth literary attraction this year, either under Arts Committee or Department of English sponsorship. Earlier pro grams featured Pulitzer Poet Gwendolyn Brooks, One - Man Chaucerian Rob Inglis, and poets Donald Hall and Ric Hasten. Let me show you the value differences in diamonds.
