KAPPA SIGMA social fraternity
at the University of Texas was sus
pended yesterday for forcing
pledges to eat raw eggs, jalapeno
peppers, linburger cheese and cod-
liver oil at an initiation Jan. 20. The
fraternity will be barred from in
tramural athletics and denied use of

1977.
Texas
A FURTHER study to determine
how much smog can be reduced by
strict controls on automobile use
was called yesterday by Lloyd
Bentsen, D-Tex., after noting find
ings of air pollution on mountain
tops and at sea. Bentsen introduced
a bill to create a National Air Qual
ity Commission to study the link be
tween smog and hydrocarbon emis
sions from automobiles, refineries
and petrochemical plants.
WHEN 200 students, or 20 per
cent of the enrollment, were absent
in Plains Wednesday because of the
flu-like epidemic, school officials
suspended the district’s classes until
Monday. State health officials yes
terday planned surveillance of the
epidemic. “The doctor told us if we
closed the schools, he thought he
could get it under control by
Monday,” Superintendent Roy
Dodds said.
AN INCREASE in freight rates
by 4 per cent proposed by the Texas
Railroad Commission will be re
viewed in a March 21 hearing.
A SCHOOL finance bill, totaling
$990 million, was introduced by
Sen. Grant Jones, D-Abilene, and
Rep. Hamp Atkinson, D-New Bos
ton. The bill is favored by the Texas
School Administrators Council, and
compares with Gov. Dolph Bris
coe’s plan to increase state spending
on public schools $850 million, and
a proposal by the Texas State
Teachers Association to boost
spending $1.48 billion.
SAN ANTONIO police and fire
men say they are entitled to more
money and are trying to get a law
repealed which requires the city to
make unlimited lump sum pay
ments of accumulated sick leave to
policemen and firemen. Represen
tatives of the two sides addressed a
legislative committee yesterday on
the issue.
National
GREEDY STOCK speculation
has caused exorbitant coffee prices,
according to Costa Rican President
Daniel Oduber, who said he will
propose to President Carter an
agreement to limit price increases.
The price control plan was
suggested yesterday at a meeting of
the Second Annual Central Ameri
can Conference in New Orleans.
THE AMERICAN Civil Liber
ties Union (ACLU) will defend
Miles Arber, editor of the Crested
Butte Chronicle, sued for libel be
cause of stories he wrote about al
leged misuse of influence by former
Army Secretary Howard “Bo” Cal
laway. A spokesman for ACLU said
the question is essentially a free
speech problem and that Mr. Cal
laway is a public figure and was at
tacked for what Arber felt was im
proper activity in the influence of
his job.
TENSION between Henry Gon
zalez, D-Tex., chairman of the
House assassinations committee,
and the committee’s rebellious
members, left the panel embroiled
today over Richard Sprague, chief
counsel of the committee. Gonzales
said he was firing the controversial
Philadelphia prosecutor “because of
a consistent attempt to undermine
my chairmanship and malign me
personally” with the staff. But all 11
committee members spurned his
decision, declared the firing to be
illegal, and told Sprague to hold
fast. Gonzales said if problems
aren’t resolved, he will terminate
the panel’s life March 31, the date
the House set for the panel to justify
itself.
THE MOST severe drought in
recent history in Colorado
prompted Gov. Richard Lamm yes
terday to urge residents of the state
to cut back their water consumption
by at least 10 per cent. He said Col
oradans should take showers instead
of baths, which would save a family
15,000 gallons per year, and should
drop a brick into toilet tanks to save
another 5,000 gallons.
A PROPOSAL to honor U.N.
Ambassador Andrew Young has
been rejected by an organization
promoting international trade and
understanding because one board
member said Young is unfit for pub
lic office. Members of the Interna
tional House board of directors
voted to withdraw the invitation.
There IS a difference!!!
