Erb, associate profes sor of business analysis and re search, begins at 8:15 a.m. in room 701 Rudder and is open to the public. “The aim of the forum is to give le participants a better under standing of the issues involved in a national transportation policy,” -said Erb, who has been involved in the field since the late 1960s. 1 “Part of what we’ll be discus sing is the changing regulatory environment in which carriers operate,” he said. Erb developed the forum in conjunction with a new graduate- level course he teaches, describ ing it as a great learning experi ence for his students.

Texan protests credit card law tainly» •e deten :all a ma chforii munitv Enrichment Fund board talks of goals ial poh; By DIANE BLAKE Writes JH Campus Editor ain.) Raising money to fund projects luch as an endowed speakers prog- am at Texas A&M was the major ipic of discussion at the MSC En- 4ricbment Fund’s annual board of 11 lectors’ meeting Saturday. mhe enrichment fund is a “slush fond” to provide money for programs roport'Tot already supported by student leal™?‘iees or other sources, said John ious pr jVhitmore, vice chairman for public retire:-elations.

The purpose of the endowed speakers program is to bring major speakers to Texas A&M, such as eco nomists Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson, who spoke at Texas A&M in March. The arts programs include art clas ses, funding for the Opera and Per forming Arts Society (OPAS), and possibly an art studio, said board member Joe Fenton. In other business, the board approved appropriations of $800 for the MSC MBA/Law Day and $400 for the MSC College Bowl Commit tee. The two groups had failed to raise this money on their own and had requested that the board allocate funds to cover their expenses. Wayne Stark, former MSC direc tor since 1947, was appointed execu tive secretary with full voting rights on the board. Stark requested an advisory position to help Jim Reynolds, the new MSC director. Stark also advised the board to hire someone to handle the paper work involved in fundraising. He said the board must become more professional if it is to be effective. Reynolds agreed that there have been oversights in the board’s fun draising activities. “Not a single con tribution that we have received has been acknowledged by us as the En richment Fund, with one excep tion,” he said. “We can’t operate that way.” Reynolds said the acknowledge ments would be made by the end of this week. United Press International (], hasi. DALLAS — Houston trial lawyer j s M t|ichard “Racehorse” Haynes, who las defended such famous clients as Fort Worth millionaire T. Cullen jvis, has been hired to defend an fil-year-old boy accused of van- J . co " dalism. '" u Haynes confirmed Saturday he ntc ’ would defend the 11-year-old juve nile accused of smashing and h, Japi trashing the inside of his elementary ited l)f school in Plano, a Dallas suburb, ther cf ;an last Three boys are accused in the case, but Haynes said he will defend only one of them. They are facing charges for last month’s vandalism at Thomas Elementary School. “Everyone has civil rights, in cluding children, and it’s always an issue as to whether or not there have been any deprivations,” the lawyer said. “It could well be an issue here.” A legal defense fund has also been established for the youth by the Rev. Michael D. Puffin, rector of Holy Nativity Episcopal Church in Plano, which the boy attends. A custodian discovered the van dalism March 30. Two windows had been broken at the school, police said. Tables and chairs were over turned and broken, filing cabinets upset and emptied, obscenities writ ten on the walls and light fixtures pulled from ceilings. Damage was estimated at $15,000. ■11 de? izatioi colui# ; in ]af : > the lie. t ;raltfl ]artee fact;i idsletl >es omerf'j ticut ;n r The Great Chebea Tuesday T-Shirt Recall!

United Press International WASHINGTON — Rep. Bob Eckhardt, D-Texas, said Sunday he will seek legislation to overturn a government ruling allowing credit card issuers to change repayment terms with 30 days notice. Eckhardt said in a statement the Federal Reserve Board’s decision overrides state laws designed to “protect the rights of consumers to pay off their debts in an orderly manner.” Laws in 17 states now require from three to 12 months notice before cre dit card terms can be changed. Under the federal rule, issued in response to President Carter’s caff for tighter consumer credit, lenders can change repayment terms on ex isting balances on 30 days notice. Af ter that, if the consumer makes another credit purchase, the lender can retroactively charge the higher interest rate on amounts due for ear lier purchases. The Texas Democrat said it was “extremely bad policy” for a federal agency to pre-empt state laws. “Instead of government by the people, the Fed’s action represents government by economic advisers who are much closer to monied in- eral Trade Commission Act to make terests than they are to consumers,” it an unfair or deceptive trade prac- . , , . , ... tice for credit card issuers to disre- The congressman said his bill, which he plans to introduce gard state laws setting conditions for Wednesday, would amend the Fed- their use. Suspect taken in lipstick murder aynes to defend boy, 11 United Press International DALLAS — A 30-year-old ap pliance repairman was arrested Sun day as a suspect in the so-called “lip stick” murder of an attorney’s wife, whose nude body was found in the bedroom of her Dallas home. The suspect, Donald Wayne Hemphill, an exconvict, was arrested at his home on a warrant charging him with the March 31 slaying of Debra Martinson, 28. He offered no resistance, authorities said. Hemphill was arrested on a war rant issued Saturday by Justice of the Peace Tom Boardman, who set bond at $500,000. He was being held in lieu of the bond late Sunday and police officials said he would be arraigned Monday. Martinson was found lying on the bathroom floor, with a macrame plant hanger wrapped around her neck. On a mirror in the room, police found a note, “now we are even don.” At first police thought the note was addressed to her husband, Don Mar tinson, a civil attorney in Dallas, but police spokesman Bob Shaw said the note may have been signed by the suspect. The suspect has a criminal record, Shaw said, and has served sentences in the Oklahoma State Prison for in decent exposure. He also was sent enced to three years in the federal correctional institute in Texarkana for impersonating a federal agent. -TTTTTOT)Tl t 1 (TTTTTTy 11 11 M - C'U/ITMQl^ r* Super Sundae Special r"- p—, Two Super Sundaes (Choice of 11 Top- pings) for $2.65 (SA VE $1.25.)
