Supt. Fred A. Hopson at Monday’s
Meeting of the A&M Consolidated

The proposed Title IX regulations
which, if passed, will prohibit sex
discrimination in education prog
rams, present problems in forming
male-female teams in extra
curricular sports, Hopson said.
UIL rules, which would be dic
tated by the Title IX regulations,
would not allow prospective team
members to be chosen according to
skill, since that would be dis
criminatory, said Hopson.
In combating this problem, the
board approved a letter to President
Ford requesting that the regula
tions be amended to provide for
“separate, comparable inter-school
programs for boys and girls.”
The letter stated that such an
amendment would keep the re
quired “equal programs and equal
facilities” from becoming confused
with “the same programs and the
same facilities.”

Ward said she thought the senate
would be favorably inclined to
changing Article IV Section VIII,
the certification by-law.
Also at the meeting, a motion pas
sed eliminating the office of vice
chairman. The responsibility of
chairing the board when the chair
man is absent will be assumed by
the senior member present.
Another motion passed specified
the senior member of the majority
side will write the majority opinion.
Ward said this year opinions will
include evidence and the basis be
hind the decisions.
The majority opinion must bear
the signature or comments of each
member voting in the majority.
After approval, one copy is placed in
the board’s permanent file, another
issued to the Battalion.
Ward said the Board had five
hearings last year but strengthening
the by-laws, to make the board
more responsible, could encourage
cases to be brought before it.
Also passed at the meeting was a
motion eliminating the by-law re
quiring the board to meet the Tues
day after each senate meeting.
Ward called the requirement
unworkable and unnecessary saying
members can call a meeting
whenever an important issue arises.
Another motion passed specifies
more than four absence points from
the beginning of the fall semester to
the end of the spring semester re
sults in removal from the board.
Each business meeting counts
one point and each hearing counts
two.
There was not time at the meet
ing to discuss injunction, a legal
proceeding for stopping a senate ac
tion. The board is considering writ
ing an injunction procedure into the
by-laws modeled after the U.S.
Supreme Court.
The board will meet Oct. 29, 7
p. m. in the student program office.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Special
Vatergate Prosecutor Leon
aworski indicated Monday he ex
acts more charges will be brought
n cases still under investigation by
lis office.
In an interview, Jaworski de
fined to discuss specific areas
vhere new charges might be ex
acted. He did say that investiga-
ions of illegal campaign contribu-
ions and the ITT anti-trust case are
“not yet completed. ’
Jaworski was asked if he would
pursue an investigation against an
individual who already had been
convicted in another Watergate
case.
“The fact that he is convincted in
one Watergate case does not mean
he is not going to be charged in
another,” the prosecutor replied.
Jaworski refused to discuss a
specific possibility, the case of
former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitch
ell, one of five defendants in the
Watergate cover-up trial.
It is understood that one of the
matters under investigation by the
prosecutor’s ITT task force is
Mitchell’s testimony about the
merger before the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
Mitchell testified at the hearings
of the nomination of Richard G.
Kleindienst to be attorney general.

As a result of their testimony
those hearings, charges were
brought against both Kleindienst
and former California Lt. Gov. Ed
Reinecke.
Kleindienst pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor charge of failing to
testify fully. Reinecke was con
victed of one count of perjury.
The charges against both men
were based on their testimony
about ITT, which was the main issue
raised at the confirmation hearings.
Mitchell testified at those hear
ings that he never discussed the ITT
case with then-President Nixon, a
statement later contradicted by the
White House. He also testified he
was unaware of an ITT pledge to
help underwrite the cost of the 1972
Republican National Convention at
the time antitrust suits against the
conglomerate were settled. That
contention was contradicted by
material made public by the House
Judiciary Committee as part of its
impeachment evidence.
Asked if any cases had been de
layed until the cover-up trial jury
had been chosen and shielded from
publicity, Jaworski said, “There was
one matter that has not yet come to a
focus. If it had before the jury had
been sequestered we would have
delayed it.”

In meeting the Texas Education
Agency’s (TEA) stipulations for ac
creditation, Hopson said the board
will have problems getting ready for
the TEA visit, set for Oct. 30. He
said, the TEA now requires that a
school’s governing board prepare a
list of all extra-curricular activities
in the district’s schools and the
number and ethnic standing of all
persons involved in those activities.
The board must also present a
roster of teachers and their ethnic
standing since 1963, and a compila
tion of the ethnic composition of
each classroom in the district, be
said.
Also, the board moved to request
a $60,000 loan for covering payroll
and current operating expenses
since state funds will not be re
ceived until December.
Hopson said the delay in receiv
ing tax dollars is due to a large part
to tax payers finding it cheaper to
pay the delinquent tax of 6 percent
interest than paying the taxes on
time. The board must wait two years
before taking legal action against a
delinquent taxpayer.
In other action, the board ap
proved a policy which will allow
temporarily disabled employes to
negotiate terms of active and inac
tive duty. The policy requires that
fringe benefits and payroll deduc
tions, which are normally witheld
from employe’s paychecks, be paid
by an employe when on leave.
The board directed the policy
committee to study fair procedures
for renting school buildings to
community organizations when not
in use by the school.
Under present policy, the board
charges $60 to organizations using
cafeteria and kitchen facilities; $30
for the use of school cafeterias; and
$2 for regular school room use.
The board set the date for the
High School Student Council and
school board meeting for Oct. 28 at
7 p.m. in the board room of the
Services Building, 1300 Jersey.
The Committee for the Aware
ness of Mexican-American Culture
will present a speech by Dr. Severo
Gomez, at 8 p.m., Wednesday, in
room 302 of the Rudder Center.
Dr. Gomez, state assistant com
missioner of education, will discuss
“Bilingual Education and Cultural
Implications on Mexican-American
Students.”
The speaker is the state’s first and
only assistant commissioner for
bilingual and international educa
tion. Gomez is also well known for
his writings in the field of bilingual
instruction.
The assistant commissioner has
edited two books, “A Resource
Manual for Implementing Bilingual
Education Programs and “A Guide
for Implementing International
Education Programs.”
Gomez began his career in educa
tion as a science teacher in Be
navides for seven years. He then
became the supervisor for science
education in the Rio Grande City
school system. After receiving his
doctorate at the University of Texas,
Gomez joined the Texas Education
Agency. In 1968 he was appointed
to his present position.
Equal access to jobs
approved by Senate
Student Senate approved two of
seven priorities set by the National
Student Lobby (NSL) on the
guidelines to the Title- IX Amend
ment.
Title IX is part of the Education
Amendments of 1972. The act pro
hibits sex discrimination in federally
assisted education programs.
The Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare solicited opin
ions until October 15 on the
guidelines. The National Student
Lobby wrote a list of priorities and
asked the student senates to ap
prove or disapprove.
The priorities on marital status
and employment benefits were ap
proved by the Student Senate.
Priorities that failed are curriculum,
affirmative action, enforcement
procedures, admissions and athle
tics.
The Student Senate did not pass
several of the priorities because of
lack of information and time.
The NSL resolution would
strengthen Title IX, said Jeff Dunn,
vice-president of academic affairs.
The NSL section on marital status
strives for a guarantee against dis
crimination. It states that in the
past, discrimination of this type has
been against women.
Student Senate also passed emp
loyment benefits which would pro
vide equal access to job oppor
tunities. A unisex insurance pre
mium table was suggested. Now dif
ferent tables are used for men and
women, Dunn said.
Another area studied by NSL is
curriculum. Presently, this area is
excluded from Title IX, because
HEW felt it would raise constitu
tional questions. However, NSL
states that individuals have First
Amendment rights and not institu
tions. It recommends that a section
dealing with sex discrimination be
put into the regulations.
The section on enforcement pro
cedures provides for stronger
methods of enforcing Title IX.
To allow equal access to educa
tion, admissions have to be equal.
All aspects of admissions, such as
financial aid and recruitment would
be under supervision.
NSL states that competitive and
non-competitive sports should be
open to both sexes equally.
