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

• Voted 114-33 to put the Par

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.

D-San Antonio, and Ronald Bird,
D-San Antonio, led the attack
on the commission.
“The Railroad Commission did
nothing to prevent or to keep the
situation from continuing,” Dog-
gett said.
“We are going into a period
of crisis and Texas is one of the
most important oil and gas
states,” said Sen. 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.

Film classic
“The Weavers,” a silent film
classic, will be shown Tuesday
night.
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.
