Over vocal protests by 400 par ents, players and coaches, the Board of Education voted 6-1 Tues day night to immediately halt in tramural and interschool athletic programs for the remainder of the school year. The programs draw about 25,000 participants each year from the junior and senior high schools’ 36,000 pupils. “This is catastrophic and major,” said Coaches Association President Erv Delman, who says his group • Any Luncheon Size Pizza • Or Our Famous Spaghetti (excluding combinations) Plate • Or The Big Mr. Gattis Sandwich ALLOF THESEMEALS COME WITH TOSSEDSALAD ANDCOFFEE OR TEA Lloyd Bentsen is candidate 1.89 for president Also: Live Entertainment Monday through Friday and Happy Hour Mon-Wed 7-9 Fashions For Less dress-up for spring at prices slashed to 50% Loupots books & britches Across from the Post Office banking.

Bentsen Jr. of Texas will join the growing Democratic presi dential field on Feb. 17 with formal announcements here and in Hous ton. Sources confirmed that Bentsen would definitely declare his candi dacy after his office said he would “announce his intentions regarding the 1976 presidential campaign’’ in the Senate Caucus Boom, a tradi tional launching pad for presidential candidates. Bentsen, who will be 54 next week, has made no secret of his am bitions for some time and last year raised some $1 million to finance his campaign, much of it from fellow Texans. His announcement will make him the fifth formal entry in the 1976 Democratic race. Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., plans to declare Thursday night, joining Bep. Mor ris K. Udall, D-Ariz., former Gov. Jimmy Carter, D-Ga., and former Sen. Fred B. Harris, D-Okla. After three'terms in the House between 1949 and 1955, Bentsen retired from polities for a successful business career in insurance and “When you turn . . . students loose without proper supervision and a wholesome activity to pursue after school, what will they do? “There will be an increase of juvenile delinquency and van dalism, and it will affect attendance too. They’re trying to save $2000,000 hut it could be costing the city a half-million dollars in van dalism.” The action — designed to save $200,000 in coaches’ overtime salaries — means baseball, track and swimming never will start, di rectly affecting an estimated 12,500 youngsters. A commitment of $25,000 from the mayor’s youth fund apparently prevented a halt of basketball play in midseason. Legal adviser LeBoy Cannon told the board that the state constitution requires the district to balance its 1974-75 budget, which means trimming $4 million this spring. “The only recourse the board has is to cut out every program that it not mandated by law. Athletics programs are good but they are not mandatory, he said. The move does not affect basic physical educa tion classes, which are required. Julie Isaac, a 17-year-old Galileo High School pupil said: “Bight or wrong, many students go to a school for its sports program. For some it means staying out of trouble by being a team member, because trouble means off the team.’ For some team members, athletic scho larships are the only way they can afford to attend college.’ The Public Schools Athletic League was formed in 1905 — the year before the great earthquake here — and became the Academic Athletic Association in the 1920’s. It has produced such athletic greats as baseball’s Joe DiMaggio and football’s O. J. Simpson. This year the school district has experienced financial problems caused by higher teachers salaries, inflation and cuts in state aid, result ing from a decline in pupil enroll ment. Officials say additional local re venue can’t be obtained because property tax limits have been reached.

Knight, TAMU’s new dean of medicine, seems right at home in taking over the reins of a fledgling program. He came to TAMU from Tulane University School of Medicine, where he was associate dean for 10 years. He also served as professor of psychiatry for both the School of Medicine and the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Earlier in his career, Dr. Knight was director of the Program in Psychiatry and Beligion at Union Theological Seminary in New York. He served three years on the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine, in cluding the last year as assistant dean. Dr. Knight earned his M. D. at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1952 and his Master of Public Health Degree at Tulane in 1962. His specialty training in psychiatry was at Charity Hospital in New Orleans on the Tulane Uni versity School of Medicine Service. He studied at the C. J. Jung Insti tute in Zurich, Switzerland during the summer of 1961 and at the Uni versity of California’s Center for Training in Community Psychiatry the following summer.
