College 82.1-80511 9 OUT OF 10 PUPPIES PREFER THE BATTALION Parents divided on schools United Press International NEW YORK — Parents are di vided on whether public school education is worse now than in their day, but they agree the top four trouble spots this year are school discipline, drugs, poor standards and the hunt for good teachers, a survey reported today.

The challenge is restricted to inaccu rate. misleading, or otherwise inappropriate records and information. The following proce dures shall be followed: A. Any student wishing to challenge records or information directly relating to him must notify the individual responsible for main taining the record of the wish to challenge. The notice must be in writing and speciti- catly identify the item challenged and the basis tor the challenge. This written re quest must be filed in duplicate with the custodian of the challenged record.

The hearing will be conducted and the results decided within a reasonable period of time (seven business days) lollowtng the request tor the hearing. 2.

The information mentioned above will be re leased by various campus offices periodically or upon request unless the student requests in writing that specific information be withheld. A publication known as the Texas A&M Uni versity Directory is one type of periodical containing data classified as "student directory information". It will contain the student’s name, address, telephone listing, major field of study and classification unless the-student requests that part or all of the data be withheld.

Beyond these, the various departments and offices may deter mine their own policies regarding retention of records within existing law. \/lll. Letters of Recommendation A. Students have the right to review confiden tial recommendations used in applications for employment or for admission to any educational agency or institution, or infor mation concerning honors awarded, ex cept when the student waives, in writing, the privileges of examination. B. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the student does not have access to confidengial letters and statements of recommendation which were placed in the education records prior to January 1, 1975, if the letters or state ments are used for purposes for which they were specifically intended. IX. Former Students These procedures apply to all persons for merly enrolled at Texas A&M University as well as to those currently enrolled.

But better or worse, parents are more worried about discipline, drugs, poor standards and the hunt for good teachers, according to the Gallup Poll Charles F. Kettering Foundation report. The report is based on the 11th annual survey on Public s Attitudes toward Public Schools, a nationwide sampling taken last May of 1,514 parents, some without children in public schools. Worries aside, the poll showed THE BATTALION Page 5 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1979 that only 12 percent of parents said they would send their children to a different public school if given the chance. Other points from the survey: —Public schools are held in low est esteem by blacks living in cen tral cities of the North, showing they are in tune with experts claim ing the city schools, primarily serv ing blacks, shortchange students. —Thirty-three percent would vote for a limit on school budgets; 42 percent disapprove. 3606 S.

NO COVER CHARGE 4 Corning percs found dangerous United Press International WASHINGTON — Corning Glass Works and the federal govern ment Tuesday warned consumers to stop using millions of Corning Ware coffee percolators because of a potentially dangerous cement problem in their handle assemblies. The company and the Consumer Products Safety Commission an nounced an agreement under which Corning will encourage consum ers to either accept partial cash rebates or get credit toward the purchase of other Corning products. The program begins Monday with a nationwide magazine, news paper and broadcast advertising campaign. It involves millions of Corning Ware electric and stove-top percolators, which are no longer made by the firm. The action is not a recall, but it is believed to be the biggest such agreement by a single company in the six-year history of the Con sumer Products Safety Commission. It was prompted by complaints from consumers of being scalded when coffeemaker handles separated from the percolators. The defect was blamed on epoxy glue failures. The potential handle separation problem does not affect Coming’s Pyrex brand clear percolators or to any other Corning coffee makers. Those products are not included in the incentive program. “Consumers owning Corning Ware percolators are advised to stop using them immediately,” Corning said in a statement. “The cause of the separation problem has been traced to the epoxy sealant which was intended to fasten the metal band and handle assembly to the white glass ceramic pot. This sealant can dry out and become brittle, allowing the two parts to separate without warning,” Corning said. The advertisements will contain coupons under which coffee maker owners may obtain details from Corning on what to do with the products. Corning asked consumers not to mail their pots back to the company or retailers. Louisville mayor faces impeachment United Press International LOUISVILLE, Ky. — “Private indiscretions” may soon mean polit ically ruinous impeachment pro ceedings and embarrassing divorce proceedings for William B. Stansbury, mayor of Kentucky’s largest city. The Democrat, barred from seek ing re-election when his term ends in December 1981, has been asked to resign his party leadership by the all-Democratic Board of Aldermen. He has filed for divorce from his wife of 34 years, Dorothy. The mayor’s political problems stem, in part, from two incidents in volving a former aide, divorcee Mary Ellen Farmer, who resigned her job as executive assistant to the mayor last year after Stansbury ad mitted traveling to New Orleans with her on a personal trip at the outset of a five-day strike by city firefighters. Pressed by reporters for an ac counting of his trip, the mayor ad mitted he had lied when he insisted earlier that he was in Atlanta on city business when the strike began in July 1978. In an emotional apology made in the glare of television lights, Stansbury said he was sorry for his “private indiscretions.” The second out-of-town meeting with Farmer came to light last month when Stansbury filed a travel voucher for expenses for a trip to St. Petersburg, Fla., during which he met Farmer. The mayor later said the voucher was submitted in error. He agreed to pay for the personal portion of his trip, made during an otherwise official visit to Atlanta. The city Board of Aldermen re cently voted, 10-0, to ask for his res ignation. DISCOUNT Y2 PRICE The Houston Chronicle YOU NOW HAVE CHOICE ON YOUR MORNING NEWSPAPER DELIVERY.
