t Nearly 45 visiting business ex
ecutives will join faculty and staff
members and graduate students
for a National Transportation
Policy Forum to be held here
Wednesday.
; The forum, chaired by Dr.
Norman H. 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.
The Department of Business
Analysis and Research, along
with the Executive Development
Programs office, recently com
pleted its Sixth Annual Confer
ence on Physical Distribution
Management which brings distri
bution/transportation executives
to Texas A&M to discuss develop
ments in the field.
Among the panelists involved

O’Neal, immediate past chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Commission; Donald Boyes,

rial Traffic League and director of

mpsey, president and chief ex
ecutive officer of the Association
of American Railroads.
Among the participants in the
forum are Stoney M. Stubbs Sr.,
vice chairman of Frozen Foods
Express; W.W. Callan Sr., chair
man of Central Freight Lines,
Inc.; a N.M. Lorentzsen, presi
dent and chief executive officer of

Enrichment Fund
board talks of goals

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.

( ^ tf , Jiis fiscal year is short about $30,000:
( mly $10,270 has been raised since

Part of the money to be raised is

® slor ravel loan ftmd ($7,500) and for arts
larentiPrograms ($5 )0 00).

The board intends to raise much of
this money through personal con
tacts, concentrating on people who
have links with or have been in
volved in the MSC.
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.

(], 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

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.

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

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.
