Outdoor committee plans display
THE BATTALION Paqe 5
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1980
By CATHY SAATHOFF
Campus Reporter
The Memorial Student Center Re
creation Committee (ORC) will set
up a mountain campsite on the front
lawn of the Academic Building from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The only thing missing will be the
mountains.
The equipment display is to prom
ote PRC and its programs.
February is backpacking month
for Outdoor Recreation, said Will
Cohen, backpacking interest group
leader of ORC.
Cohen said about five tents will be
set up on the lawn, as well as sleep
ing bags, packs and cooking equip
ment. ORC members will be on
hand to answer questions about
backpacking.
Part of the equipment on display
will be from the committee’s equip
ment rental. The OCR has bought
equipment in the past and currently
provides a rental service to students.
“People get to come by and actual
ly see the equipment rather than see
it in a catalog,” Cohen said.
The committee hopes to publicize
its equipment rental, which is avail
able to anyone, as well as the semi
nars it is sponsoring every Thursday
night.
Seminars planned for backpacking
month include an adventure semi
nar, which notifies students of diffe
rent places to backpack, and a tech
nique seminar, which helps with
equipment and trip planning. Cohen
said the seminars seldom last more
than an hour.
The committee will also give out
pamphlets about places to backpack
in Texas, and Cohen said anyone
wanting more information on any
locations may go to the ORC cubicle
in room 216 of the MSC (Student
Programs Office) for help.
ORC is planning four backpacking
trips over spring break, as well as
rafting, caneoing and cross country
skiing trips.
March is rock-climbing month,
and April is canoeing.

Labor board lawsuit
denied; strike goes on
HOUSTON — A federal judge
Monday denied a National Labor Re
lations Board’s lawsuit seeking to
stop longshoremen from refusing to
load ships bound for the Soviet
Union,
No reason for the denial was given
by U.S. District Judge Norman W.
Black, but he said he would issue a
written opinion at a later date.
Members of the International
Longshoremen’s Union working at
Atlantic and Gulf Coast docks have
refused to load cargoes bound for the
Soviet Union since Jan. 7, in opposi
tion to the wishes of President Car
ter. The boycott began as a result of
the Soviet’s invasion of Afghanistan.
At the time lawyers argued the
lawsuit last week, Black said he had
doubts the NLRB had legal authority
to halt the boycott. The judge said he
was uncertain a politically motivated
boycott aimed at a foreign govern
ment amounted to a “labor dispute. ”
The NLRB filed the lawsuit after
the American, Texas and Kansas
Farm bureaus charged that the un
ion was engaging in an illegal action.
In New Orleans three weeks ago a
federal judge issued an order forbid
ding ILA officials from encouraging
the boycott. That order has been
appealed.
Clayton secure in position
despite bribe allegations
United Press International
AUSTIN, Texas — Speaker Bill
Clayton conferred with almost three
dozen of his staunchest supporters
Sunday and adamantly rejected sug
gestions he could be deposed as the
House’s presiding officer because of
allegations he took a bribe.
Clayton told backers at the closed-
door meeting in a downtown Austin
hotel to support him while he fights
potential charges for accepting “a
stack of $100 bills” given to him Nov.
8 by a union official.
When asked if he was losing sup
port, Clayton said he was amazed at
the backing he has received “from
members, from supporters, from
friends. ”
Several of the legislators who
attended the more than two-hour-
long session said it sounded as
though Clayton had been set up by
the FBI undercover investigation.
Some representatives, however,
said while they were confident
Clayton is innocent, the allegations
may wreck his political career.
“I don’t think he is a thief,” said
Rep. Wayne Peveto, D-Orange. “I
think most members of the Legisla
ture understand how this could’ve
happened, but I find it hard to be
lieve that the general public can, and
I think quite frankly Bill Clayton’s in
trouble as speaker. ” The speaker in
sisted the money he took was neither
a bribe nor a political contribution
because he has not touched the
money since and intended to return
it.
