I i i i Re-hiring the administrative staff of the A&M Consolidated School District will be among items considered by the district’s board of trustees Monday at its monthly meeting. The meeting will begin at 7 p. m. the Board Room, Room 7, of the Special Services Build ing at 1300 Jersey. School principals are included in the posi tions up for re-hiring. The district’s top ad ministrator, Supt. Fred Hopson, had his contract extended for three years at the board’s February meeting. The board met in closed session three days last week to study evaluations made of the instructors and administrators in the district. The faculty will be up for re-employment at the board’s next meeting April 7. As part of the superintendent’s report, the board will evaluate current room space needs. Physical education facilities at the elementary schools and a new structure to house the high school’s career training facilities will be among building expansion considered. Hopson said moving the career training operation outside the main high school build ing would provide more classroom space. Approval of textbooks for grades 1 to 12 is also on the board’s agenda. The board will have to work within the list of texts approved by the state legislature. Texts under consid eration include basic readers, elementary science, mathematic, speech, calculus, in troductory algebra, probability and statis tics, computer math, Spanish and choral music. Other agenda items include consideration of an athletic participation policy and exa mining the proposed calendar for 1975-76. AUSTIN (AP) — Ten University of Texas students walked out of the office of acting UT-Austin President Lorene Rogers Thursday night end ing an eight-hour sit-in in protest of alleged racial discrimination at the university. A spokesperson for the group told a crowd of about 300 people in the plaza outside the administration building that the students had been granted amnesty by university offi cials. The students, all members of Un ited Students Against Racism, en tered Dr. Rogers’ office shortly be fore noon and locked the door. A university spokesman said Dr. Rogers was ill and not in her office. A member of the group, Irma Soto, 26, of San Angelo, said the 10 students will meet with the UT re gents Friday to discuss the organization’s demands. “We accomplished our goal ol getting the attention of the media and getting amnesty,” Miss Soto said. “We have planned our actions foi two weeks for this day,” Miss Soto said. “It all centers around the HEW report.” A recently released report by the U.S. Department of Health Educa tion and Welfare said UT-Austin’s general admission policies violated federal civil rights standards. Late Thursday afternoon Reps. Mickey Leland, D-Houston, and Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, ar rived to join university adminis trators in talking with the group. Dr. Ronald Brown, university vice president for student affairs, said the discussions “had resulted in clarification of minority students’ concerns.” “The university does not condone the group’s action as a way to ex press concern,’’ Brown said. Brown said UT-Regents Chair man Allen Shivers had agreed for the protesting students to meet with the regents. The occupiers had earlier said they would not leave the office until demands listed in the student newspaper, the Daily Texan, Thursday had been met. The demands included more money for black and Mexican- American cultural centers and funds for minority newspapers. Foreign students go to Austin ” TTALION CLASSIF^D (Continued from p. 1) ing the bill. “We only took the Americans’ names because they are the ones that vote,” Ben-Ali said. “We don’t have the right and they should de cide.” The University of Texas submit ted 7,000 names along with a study of comparative tuitions in other countries. All the studied countries’ universities had lower with the highest being Iran. A student pays $180 a year at the University of Tehran, Ben-Ali said. The first question raised by the committee was why didn’t the foreign student go to school else where if the tuition is so much lower? Ben-Ali explained it this way. “The education in this country is much more specialized. If I was to go to the University of Tehran, I would want to major in something basic. They don’t have as extensive a program as I can receive in the Un ited States. The reason we came to TAMU was because we can receive a high class education for a lot less than we can in other parts of the country. We came here on the as sumption that the tuition would re main at $14. Until recently, we could work. Now, we can’t.” The University of Texas also submitted a study which indicates that Texas stands to lose $29 million next year if the tuition increases. Foreign students would stop attend ing the universities, Ben-Ali said. Students from several univer sities are coordinating a lobby and are planning to spend the semester break gathering support to fight the bill. Uproar in Texas House Reps call for judges’ election AUSTIN (AF) — The Texas House got into a genuine, old- fashioned liberal-conservative up roar Thursday before adopting a re solution calling for election of fed eral district judges. It took more than 1% hours of irritable debate, made more so as the lunch hour passed, to reach the 81-32 vote. Both chambers had busy days, passing armloads of bills. Sent to Gov. Dolph Briscoe for signature were measures that would: — Raise from 72,000 to 80,000 pounds the weight limits on trucks traveling on primary Texas high ways. It was described as a means of using the vehicles more efficiently and saving fuel. — Allow cities to sue on their own for delinquent municipal sales taxes. They now must wait until the state sues for its taxes, then join that action. — Remove a limitation that al-. lowed only big cities — those of 500,000 or more population — to sell revenue bonds to raise money for airport construction. — Require brewers and beer dis tributors to make written agree ments setting out distribution ter- AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 3400 S.

House members passed a string of uncontested bills to the Senate, including measures guaranteeing counsel at commitment hearings for alcoholics who are unable to attend; prohibiting employment of ex convicts as peace officers: and enabl ing counties in a 75-mile radius of the McDonald Observatory to regu late outdoor lighting. Rep. Jim Kaster, D-El Paso, sponsor of the observatory bill, said there was a fear that real estate de velopments would move in and erect mercury and sodium vapor street lights that would interfere with the spectroscopic analysis of the elements contained by heavenly objects. Such lights, he said, “just tear em up at the observatory. Senators passed to the House a major bill, arising from last year’s controversy over alleged inade quacies in state regulation of child care homes. State supervision would be extended from institutions caring for children 16 and under to include those caring for 17-year-olds as well. The House tentatively approved, 112-13, a bill rewriting the law gov erning courts-martial of Texas Na tional Guardsmen to conform to federal court decisions and a 1968 revision of the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice. A key provision would provide a lawyer, if needed, for a guardsman who accidentally caused damage or injury while in line of duty under lawful orders. This drew opposition from Rep. Abraham Ribak, D-San Antonio. “I, for one, lost a good part of my family in Europe during World War II because of people following or ders,’ said Ribak,who is Jewish. Rep. Bill Hollowell, D-Grand Saline, the sponsor and a colonel in the Air National Guard, replied that he shared Ribak’s concern over war crimes, but it was only fair for the state to help a guardsman who is “risking his life in a flood and makes a mistake. ” The big flap of the day was over a resolution by Rep. Emmett Whitehead, D-Ruck, asking Con gress to initiate a U.S. Constitution change requiring election of federal judges. Such judges now are appointed by the president and can serve for life. Whitehead has strongly criti cized recent decisions by federal judges William Wayne Justice of Tyler and Sarah T. Hughes of Dallas that ordered the state to change its methods ofdealing with juvenile de linquents and the criminally insane. Whitehead said the federal judges “act like little gods and tyr ants” and declared, “The time has come for Texas to be the first state in the nation to let these federal judges know we don’t like what is going on.” His resolution will go to Congress only if the Senate also approves it. “In Dallas, we have a federal judge running our jail, running our school system, running our state agencies, ” said Rep. Calvin Rucker, D-Cedar Hill.
