Committee OKs regents

AUSTIN — Less than than a week before he left office. Gov.
Dolph Briscoe made three appointments to one of the state s
powerful and prestigious boards and surprisingly, all three of the
University of Texas Board of Regents nominees have received
unanimous approval from a Senate committee.
The non-controversial session the lame-duck appointees had Tues
day with the Senate Nominations Committee was in sharp contrast to
the interrogation endured by six nominees recommended when Bris
coe still had some clout with lawmakers.
The committee spent only 30 minutes questioning Jon Newton or
Austin and Beeville, Howard Richards of Beaumont and James Pow
ell of Fort McKavett before voting unanimously in favor of approving
their nominations to one of the state s most powerful and prestigious
boards.
All three men, predictably, said they favored a common-sense
approach” to education and retention of the Permanent University
Fund. The full Senate is expected to vote today on the appointments.
Among the Briscoe appointments that prompted vociierous com
plaints at Senate hearings and questions about everything from sleep
ing habits to political activites were those of Walter G. Sterling of
Houston in 1975 and Jess Hay of Dallas in 1977. Critics said Sterling
slept in regents’ meetings and Senators questioned the fact Hay was a
key fundraiser for Briscoe.

But senators Tuesday questioned Newton, Richards and Po We [
about nothing more controversial than their views on teaching effe c .
tiveness and preservation of the special hind that benefits UT and
Texas A&M University.
F
“I do feel there can be some efficiency brought to bear in U1C
expenditure of ftmds. This is part of the administrative system that
needs to be looked at,” Powell said in response to a question fro
Sen. Ed Howard, D-Texarkana.
Howard said he would like to see UT reduce its requests for ti, I
money from the Legislature by making better use of PUF revenues |
that lawmakers do not control.
Sen. Betty Andujar, R-Fort Worth, said she is concerned “many I
students go through two or maybe three years without ever havingj
real professor” because of overemphasis on research and publishing
by faculty members.
“When the research and publishing outweigh the teaching I q Ues .
tion whether that’s right,” Richards said.
Newton, who recently resigned a $45,200-a-year job as Texas Rail-
road Commissioner because of a potential conflict of interest over his
wife’s gas wells, said he foresees no problems in his serving on the UT
board.
Briscoe named Newton to replace former Gov. Allan Shivers on
the board. Powell was nominated for the seat now held by Edward A.
Clark of Austin, former ambassador to Australia. Richards was ap
pointed to replace Dr. James A. Bauerle, a San Antonio dentist.

United Press International
DENVER — Forrest Burns, a
veteran Colorado lawmaker and
rural farmer, fears the stability of
the nation's agriculture may be
jeopardized if foreign investors con
tinue buying up American farmland.
Burns says that fear, along with
conversations with neighbors and
constituents, prompted him to in
troduce a bill in the Colorado House
to significantly reduce agriculture
land ownership in the state by non
resident aliens.
The bill, heard by a House com
mittee Wednesday, prohibits corpo
rations from allowing foreign inter
ests to own more than 10 percent of
the company’s stock.
“Maybe I m being farfetched, but
the foreign purchase of our
and farmland could mean am
dermining of our whole agridlt
system, said Burns.
“If enough aliens got ownen
they could control farm pricesi
people would have to pay as nail
as double of what they now]
farm products,” he said.
