lUSTIN — The local chapter of
I National Organization for
imen Wednesday gave Gov. Bill
ments its “Barefoot and Pre-
int” award for his attitude toward
hen’s programs and a remark that
fell behindcf 0111 '' 11 should be encouraged to go
pwater diving as a method of
:h control.
Elements made the diving remark
T lug. 30 at a conference at Texas
University after Dr. Feenan
V / Jennings, director of the school’s Sea
|intprogram, said researchers he
ed pregnant women should be
careful when diving because gas
bubbles could occur in the fetus be
fore they occur in the mother and the
fetus could be harmed.
“They’re always looking for birth
control. We might say, ‘Go deepwa
ter diving and exercise birth con
trol,” Clements responded.
The “Barefoot and Pregnant”
award has been presented only once
before by the Austin NOW group,
which gave it in 1974 to University of
Texas Athletic Director Darrell
Royal for his comments that
women’s athletics at the college level
should not be encouraged because
fans would never pay to see women’s
sports.
NOW officials said the award’s
name comes from the “story of the
good of boy” who kept his wife at
home by keeping her barefoot and
pregnant.
“While in office. Governor Cle
ments has gone if not above, certain
ly beyond, the call of his office to
keep women in their place, just like
the ‘good oT boys’ who keep their
wives barefoot and pregnant,” said
NOW coordinator Vicky Worsham.

AUSTIN — East Texas residents
who limit their electricity use or in
stall solar water heaters will be get
ting a break on their utility bills after
all, the Public Utility Commission
announced Wednesday.
The three-man commission, in a
widely criticized move last month,
had vetoed plans by Gulf States Uti
lities Co. to offer rate discounts for
customers who use solar water hea
ters or limit their electricity use to no
more than 500 kilowatts per month.
Acting on an appeal by East Texas
Legal Services, Beaumont, Houston
and several other cities served by
Gulf States, the commission Tues
day reversed itself and agreed to
allow the discounts.
PUG officials said the special rates
would be experimental and should
not be viewed as a precedent for
other utilities.
The discounts were part of a nego
tiated agreement between Gulf
States and East Texas Legal Services
in September for a $20.8 million in
crease in electricity rates. Gulf
States originally proposed a $50.5
million rate increase but trimmed its
request and agreed to institute spe
cial discounts to avoid a lengthy fight
before the PUG.
Advocates of the discounts said
the special rates would help low in
come consumers who limit their
electricity use, but the PUG sur
prised everyone by rejecting the
plan.
The utility commission approved
the amount of the agreed-upon rate
increase on Oct. 25 but ruled the
discounts would be unreasonably
discriminatory and unfair to most of
Gulf States’ 300,000 residential cus
tomers.

AUSTIN — A Fort Worth Inde-
kdent School District policy
owing teachers to do work for pro-
ssional organizations during hours
eyare paid by the state is unconsti-
ponal, Attorney General Mark
hite said Wednesday.
White said the work for profes-
inal organizations by teachers dur-
g school hours amounts to an un-
nditional grant of public funds to a
ivate organization, and such grants
■e prohibited by the state constitu-
Ihe attorney general had been
asked for a legal ruling on the policy
by foi mer Texas Education Commis
sioner M.L. Brockette, who has
since retired.
The Fort Worth schools adopted
the policy in 1975 allowing certain
organizations to use school person
nel during working hours to pursue
the business of the organization.
The board devised a formula to
determine how much time the
teachers would be alloted to to work
for the Fort Worth Classroom
Teachers Association, American
Federation of Teachers and the Fort
Worth Administrators Association.
