State
School takes loss on aliens’ tuition
United Press International
OKLAHOMA CITY — Putnam
City School District officials, under
court order not to charge tuition or
expel the son of an Iranian college
student, said Tuesday that they will
absorb up to $150,000 loss of tuition
and additional costs for educating
foreign students this year.
But school superintendent Ralph
Downs said the school board will be
waiting anxiously for a U. S. Supreme
Court decision expected this fall on
whether schools are required to edu
cate the children of non-permanent
aliens.
“We do not feel you should expect
public schools to educate your chil
dren for free,” said Downs, referring
to non-resident aliens.
Downs said the school district has
always enrolled foreign exchange
students and aliens who applied for
U.S. citizenship, but has charged
tuition to children of foreign stu
dents attending local colleges.
He said from 25 to 50 students now
paying tuition will be affected by the
ruling.
Young Arash Varshosaz, a first-
grader whose Iranian father attends
Bethany Nazarene College in Okla
homa City, returned to school Tues
day under protection of a temporary
restraining order which prevents the

school district from charging tuition
or expelling the youth.
The boy’s father, Arash Varshosaz,
had been told by school officials from
an independent school district with
in Oklahoma City, that he would
have to pay $1,859 in tuition or the
child “could no longer remain” in
school.
District Judge Garmon C. Harris
ruled Monday that young Varshosaz
can attend the school without paying
tuition and without the fear of being
expelled.
Noting that the case’s outcome
could set a precedent for “about a
100 or 1,000” such students, Harris
said the child’s father is legally resid
ing in the United States and meets
the school district’s residency re
quirements.
Varshosaz, 34, told the court he
could not afford to pay tuition costs
the school assessed about a week af
ter classes began.
From school officials’ estimates,
the school district may need an addi
tional $150,000 — about 6 percent of
the school district’s $25 million
budget — to subsidize the foreign
students’ educations.
Although the school offers free
education for immigrants, school
officials contended Varshos®

AUSTIN — The Travis County grand jury Tuesday
did not indict former Deputy Comptroller Ralph Wayne
on allegations he had used state personnel and equip
ment to conduct personal business.
The grand jury, the fourth to study allegations against
Wayne and Comptroller Bob Bullock since 1978, re
turned a “no bill” in the case and District Attorney
Ronald Earle said there was insufficient evidence to
merit action against Wayne, a former state representa
tive from Plainview.
“We told the grand jury the case was not legally
sufficient,” said Earle, who kept the case alive more
than a year awaiting FBI transcripts of tapes from mem
ory typewriters that former Comptroller s Department
employee Bill Collier said would show Wayne utilized
his secretary and the equipment to conduct his private
business.
“It could not be proven that Ralph Wayne’s use of the
memory machine was to secure benefits for himself. He
also worked 10 to 20 hours a day and we could not
determine how much of that was state business, ” Earle
said.
Earle said he presented the case to the current grand
jury because the investigations of two earlier grand
juries had focused on allegations against Bullock, and he
had promised to present the allegations against Wayne
to another grand jury after he received the typewriter
tape transcripts.
He said the transcripts showed the typewriter was
used for state business, some personal letters, and some
personal business letters for Wayne.
