Texas loses power in U.S, Congress THE BATTALION Page 7 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1978 United Press International DALLAS — The 24-member Texas House delegation will have new dean, at least one more Repub lican and a lot less clout when the 96th Congress convenes in January. But the exact makeup of that del egation still was in doubt today be cause of another close race between bitter enemies Bob Gammage and Ron Paul in Houston and because of a possible recount in Dallas. Jack Brooks, 55, first elected to Congress at the age of 30, won re- election with 67 percent of the vote Tuesday and will go to Washington as the dean of the delegation, re placing 78-year-old George Mahon, who was the dean of Congress be fore his retirement. Mahon was one of six members of the Texas delegation not to seek re- election and their absence, along with the defeat of two other incum bents in the primary, will cause the Lone Star State to lose 188 years of experience in Washington. But Brooks, of Beaumont, is still one of the most influential men on Capitol Hill, as is House Majority Leader James Wright of Fort Worth, who also won re-election Tuesday. Of the 16 incumbents seeking a return to Washington, 15 were suc cessful. The other — Gammage, a Demo crat — was locked in a typically close fight with Republican Ron Paul, against whom he has cam paigned four times in recent years. Fewer than 100 votes separated the two men and a recount seemed likely. Republican Tom Pauken of Dal las, a former aide to Sen. John To wer, also said he would ask for a re count in his setback against incum bent Jim Mattox in the 5th District. Pauken lost Tuesday by 800 votes. But even if Paul and Pauken fail to win a House seat, the Republi cans will have three representatives from Texas, an increase of one from the last session. In addition to victories by incum bents Bill Archer of Houston and Jim Collins of Dallas, who was un- nopposed. Republican Tom Loeffler of Hunt, an attorney-rancher, easily defeated Democrat Nelson W. Wolff for the District 21 seat vacated by Bob Krueger, who ran against Tower for a Senate seat. In the 19th District, from which Mahon retired. Democrat Kent Hance of Lubbock won with 53 per cent of the vote over George Bush Jr., of Midland, son of the former United Nations ambassador. Hance, 34, thus becomes the junior member of the delegation. “I think I overcame Bush’s name identification because I grew up in this district,” said Hance. “When I was a government student I dreamed of just meeting George Mahon. I never thought I might be the one to replace him.” Elsewhere in districts left vacant by retirees or defeated candidates: —Phil Gramm of College Station received 65 percent in winning the 6th District, where Olin Teague had served for 32 years. —Marvin Leath of Marlin drew away from Jack Burgess of Waco to win in the 11th District, replacing the retiring W.R. Poage. —Joe Wyatt of Bloomington, who had defeated incumbent John Young in the primary, won in the 14th District over Joy Yates of Cor pus Christi. —Charles Stenholm, a farmer from Stanford, polled 68 percent of the vote to capture the 17th District seat held by Omar Burleson, who served 32 years before retiring. —George Leland of Houston was a runaway winner over token oppos ition in winning the 18th District. That seat was previously held by Barbara Jordan. —Martin Frost of Dallas, a win ner over incumbent Dale Milford last spring, captured the 24th Dis trict over ex-military aide Leo Be rman of Arlington.

Julian “Kip” Hyde, a speech communications major seeking his master’s degree, will present a somewhat mysterious study beginning Thursday. The study reveals that since 1840, U.S. presidents elected in years ending in “0” have either been assassinated or have died of natural causes while in office. “I can document every aspect presented in the study, he said recently. “And if the (20-year) cycle continues, the man elected in 1980 had better watch out.” Hyde will present the study, which will be dramatized by actors, on campus through Nov. 12. “We do not try to determine the causes,” Hyde said, “(we) just present the facts in a documentary fashion. “Presidents Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt and Kennedy all were elected during a year ending in 0,’ and subsequently died in office of assassination or natural causes,” Hyde said. “Only one other president has died in office. Zachary Taylor was elected in 1848 but died in 1850.” In his study, Hyde has learned that Lincoln dreamed of his assassi nation. “Lincoln described two dreams of his impending death to friends and associates in the White House, ” Hyde said. “Later, Lincoln’s son worked for President Garfield. Two days after Lincoln’s son de scribed his father’s dreams to Garfield, Garfield was shot also. ” THE BATT DOES IT DAILY Monday through Friday — ..... * cMyumdaCb NOON-SEVEN 75c bar drinks 40c beer NORTHGATE (Next to the Dixie Chicken) )gX ' " MFC % »C=J Mon.-Sat. 9-5:30 FEATURING SEEKING 1510 HOLLEMAN (Across from the Sevilla Apartments) 693-1772 BUDGET & RE Cq Open 10-7 Mon.- M 315 Univ.
