AUSTIN — Discipline problems
mst be detected before students
iave elementary school or it is prob-
bly too late, Attorney General Mark
thite said.
'We can’t build prisons big
jnough and fast enough, so we need
ihave the effective crime preven-
ion of bringing up young people to
nderstand the law,” White said.
"Ifwe don’t get early detection of
ie problem by fourth, fifth and sixth
rade, it’s too late. These lessons
to be taught in a loving way
ith compassion, but with firmness
nd sternness. ”
As he put the finishing touches on
statewide student code of conduct
ness, I had a strong principal in high
school.”
White is working on a discipline
checklist which he said will bring tra
ditional “support-system” values
back into the state’s public schools.
A generation ago, when students
were reprimanded, parents sup
ported the teacher’s decision, he
said. Teachers today often must take
the blame for unacceptable student
behavior, because the types of re
lationships between students, pa
rents and school administrators have
^
become more detached.
White said this is caused by a vari
ety of societal factors, including
more single parent families, a grow
ing divorce rate, and the courts’ atti
tude toward juvenile discipline.
“We’re trying to show that court
orders have not suggested that you
can’t discipline,” he said. “We want
to wipe out the indecision in so many
people’s minds. If the students in
the classroom sense the teacher is
immobilized they’ll run the teacher
around the room.

AUSTIN — Whether the Legisla
ture will have its first major confron
tation with Gov. Bill Clements will
be determined by how the House
votes on an emergency pay raise for
state employees.
The Senate has approved a bill by
Sen. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, pro
viding an immediate 6.8 percent sal
ary increase for the state’s workers,
but the House Appropriations Com
mittee late — on a very narrow vote
— amended it to 5.1 percent with a
$50 minimum.
The House was scheduled to deli
berate the emergency measure at 2
p.m. today.
Clements, however, made his in
tentions very clear on Tuesday. The
governor, who had recommended
only a 3.4 percent salary increase,
said he would sign a bill calling for a
5.1 percent raise but would veto a
6.8 percent increase.
The governor first made the com
ments in Waco, then repeated them
at an impromptu news conference at
the Capitol. He had agreed to accept
the 5.1 percent raise as a comprom
ise after it became apparent a num
ber of legislators preferred a larger
increase.
“I will predict to you that 5.1 per
cent will come out of the House. I’ll
predict to you that it will go to con
ference committee. I’ll predict to
you that 5.1 percent will come out (of
the conference committee),” Cle
ments said.
The governor must sign an
emergency pay raise hill by Saturday
in order for the state employees to
get the increase effective Feb. 1.
Doggett has said he will continue
to push for the 6.8 percent salary
increase. He said the narrowness of
the committee vote (9-7) indicated
there was strong support for the
higher increase.
The senator also said he could
have the votes to override a veto if
the full House approves a 6.8 per
cent increase rather than the 5.1 per
cent raise the appropriations com
mittee recommended.
‘Tm not convinced we cannot get
the votes in the House (for 6.8 per
cent),” Doggett said. “And I’m not
sure the governor would veto it if we
in fact put it on his desk.”
Speaker Bill Clayton said earlier
he was unsure what size increase the
House members would favor when
the bill comes up for debate.
