LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A fed
eral judge ruled Monday New
Mexico State University can present
the play “Equus, complete with a
nude scene that had brought criti
cism from local clergy and the dis
trict attorney district attorney.
District Attorney Lalo Garza had
said he might have the lead male
and female characters in the play ar-
the NMSU English department,
Mark Medoff, director of the play,
violate the state s indecent exposure
statutes and asked university police
to monitor the performance.
Judge Howard Bratton, however,
granted the university s request for
a temporary injunction against
Garza, to prevent him from arrest
ing any of the performers. Bratton
also ruled NMSU could proceed
with the play which will debut
Thursday at 8 p.m. at the school's
Little Theater.
During the hearing on the tempo
rary injunction request, NMSU
President Gerald Thomas testified
the directors of the play had not vio
lated any university regulations.
“One of the principles involved
here is the latest technique in teach
ing and research that is applicable to
drama students,” Thomas said.
Four persons, including student
Siobban O’Meara, the lead male
character, had gone to court to pre
vent Garza from halting the play.
Represented by Albuquerque attor
ney Paul Phillips, the plaintiffs also
included Dr. Bruce Street, head of
the NMSU English Department,
Mark Medoff, director of the play,
and Forrest Westmoreland, a city
resident.
Besides Garza, the play had also
been opposed by a group of Las
Cruces clergymen.
Street, who also testified at the
hearing, told the judge the school's
main concern was “to keep students
from being arrested for something
we told them to do.“

?ord blasts Carter's dual-purpose tax bill
United Press International
?r !l
(| LAWRENCE, Kan. — Former
ident Gerald R. Ford Tuesday
Bum Backed the Carter adminstration s
j f ) of combining tax reform and tax
[iction measures into one bill and
ed that unless the two are sepa-
, neither would pass Congress
e near future.
believe the combination of tax
|rm — whatever that might be —
tax reduction, will slow down
[congressional enactment of a tax
|rm bill, Ford said in a lecture
Kansas University students,
nd unless they are decoupled, l
believe Congress will act on
7 —tax reform bill until at least Au-
1st or September,” he said.
In response to student questions,
kp former president also com-
Rafc wted on the coal situation, wage
id price controls and the Carter
ir illustration budget.
*Fmd said he believed the coal
e could have been avoided if
Secretary of Labor under his
insitration William Usury, had
been in office.
“If he were Secretary of Labor,
Ford said, “I think the whole prob
lem could have been avoided. I can
understand the reluctance of Presi
dent Carter to use the Taft-Hartley
Act to handle the problem, because
of several cases where that act has
been counter-productive in the min
ing industry.
Ford warned that if Carter moved
ahead with another of his proposals
to end the coal strike — having the
two sides agree to a binding arbitra
tion by Congress — that Congress
would not pass the legislation in
time to avoid a deteriorating of the
situation.
“1 believe that Congress, if it does
pass it, will take several weeks to
pass it, but I even have serious res
ervations that Congress would pass
it.
Ford said the current adminis
tration’s budget was both too large
and its tax reduction proposal too
limited to continue the economic-
recovery that began while he was in
office.
“In my opinion. Ford said, “the
present administration’s fiscal policy
calls for too much federal spending
on the one hand — a $500 billion
budget with a deficit of about $60
billion, and a tax reduction that nets
out at about $25 billion. I think the
increase in the rate of spending is
too large and I think the tax reduc
tion plan is too limited.
T think that the tax reduction bill
could and very likely will be in
adequate to meet the challenge that
I think we need to keep the reform
going. I just hope that in the contest
between the president and Con
gress, we don t miss the chance to
continue the recovery that was
started back in the spring of 1975.
