FORT WORTH — T. Cullen
Davis, a millionaire already on his
wa y to becoming a notorious Texas
legend, and the Rev. Bailey Smith,
president of the Southern Baptist
Convention who has taken his share
of criticism recently, appeared
together at the Tarrant County Con
vention Center.
And the differences between the
two are as striking as the similarities.
In recent years, both men have
i Texas shared harsh headlines: Davis for
f | murder and Smith for anti-
Semitism. But at the 1981 James
Robison Bible Conference which en
ded Saturday, where the two men
spoke back to back, it was apparent
they both had overcome their prob
lems _ Smith with his faith unwav
ering and Davis with a new-found
faith,
Davis, dressed in a gray three-
piece suit, told the crowd of 9,000 in
a low-key voice about Jesus coming
into his life. Smith, wearing a beige
blazer and dark brown slacks, was a
thunderous voice celebrating the fire
of Christian revival.
“Sinners seek to be saved when
revival comes to town!” Smith bel
lowed into a microphone, bringing
the crowd to its feet in a frenzy of
applause. “Every preacher needs to
preach the unerrant, fundamental
teaching of these Gospels” — he jab
bed a finger into his Bible — “and
then there will be salvation!”
“I got along for many years with
out Jesus,” confessed Davis in a
humble, unapologetic chairman-of-
the-board tone. “I’ve been in a great
deal of trouble the past few years,
and I still didn’t turn to Jesus or ask
him for help.
“For many years I got along with
out Jesus because I was too proud.
Pride kept me from coming to
church, pride kept me from praying.
But when (Robison) talked to me a
[ year ago, I immediately let Jesus into
| my heart.”
Smith has received nationwide
criticism for his remark last August at
the National Affairs Brief in Dallas
that “God Almighty does not hear
the prayer of the Jew.”
A month later — at the pulpit of
his Del City, Okla., Baptist church
— Smith was quoted as saying,
Why did (God) choose the Jews? I
don t know why he chose the Jews. I
think they got funny-looking noses,
myself.”
But Smith got a standing ovation
when he said, “When people come
into my church they don’t want to
hear the word according to the news
papers or the word according to the
commentators,” he said. “They want
to hear the word according to God. ”
Davis troubles, on the other
hand, had legal ramifications. He
was charged in 1976 with killing his
12-year-old stepdaughter and the
lover of his former wife, Priscilla
Davis. He also was charged with
shooting Priscilla Davis and another
m an at the $6 million Davis mansion
in Fort Worth. Davis was acquitted
ot those charges. Then in 1979, he

Renovation of the basement cof
feehouse in the Memorial Student
Center has still not been completed.
In fact, it has barely begun.
The renovation was to have been
finished by the 1980 fall semester.
“Now we are planning on not having
the facility for the rest of this semes
ter,” MSC Basement Committee
Chairman Steve Schulte said.
The reason for the delay was the
absence of supplies, said Dwight
Smith, advisor for the committee.
Materials have not been delivered
to the Texas A&M University physi
cal plant, which is in charge of the
renovation, he said.
Renovation plans include: an ex
panded concession area, more elec
tric power, a transfer of the stage
from the comer to a central wall,
additional stage lighting, resilient
flooring, an additional exit and a bal
cony on three walls.
The committee is also planning to
get neon signs to hang over the door
and the stage, Schulte said.
Total cost of the renovation is esti
mated to be $39,000, Smith said.
“The University has agreed to pro
vide $31,000 for the project from the
bookstore profits, while the MSC is
providing $8,000 from its reserve,”
he said.
Awaiting the arrival of necessary
supplies, everything has been
moved out of the basement and
members of the committee have
painted the walls and door.
Finding places for bands to per
form outside the basement has cre
ated a problem, Schulte said, but he
adding that crowd size for basement
events has not really suffered.

MSC Ballroom last semester to a
crowd of almost 700, whereas the
coffeehouse would have only held

The College Station Independent
School District Board of Trustees
approved a joint election agreement
with the City of College Station and
set an April 4 election date at a spe
cial board of education meeting
Monday night.
The joint election agreement
states:
1. All election costs would be
shared in each voting precinct with
identical locations and identical
presiding judges.
2. Joint elections would be held as
long as lawfully possible.
3. The implementation and man
agement of these annual joint elec
tions would be on an alternating
basis.
Management and implementation
of elections include securing election
judges, locations, official ballots and
election materials and a contract for
election supervisory services.
The College Station school board
consists of seven members elected to
three-year terms — three elected
one year and two during each of the
succeeding years.
A runoff date of April 25 was also
set at the meeting.
In the event that both the City of
College Station and the CSISD
school board need to hold a runoff
election, it will be conducted accord
ing to the stipulations provided in
the joint election agreement.
However, if only one of the gov
erning bodies needs to hold a runoff
the responsibility of expense lies tot
ally with that party.
Candidates for the CSISD school
board must win the election with a
majority vote in order to escape a
runoff election.
Texas A&M University’s director of student affairs, Ron Blatchley,
filed for Place 1 on the Bryan City Council this morning.
He said he made the decision after thinking about it for several
months.
Blatchley, 38, listed seven specific “critical issues” which Bryan will
face in the next few years: a mass transit system, a municipal airport
authority, street repair, high turnover of city employees, updating the
city’s equipment and technology, improved parks and recreation facili
ties, and close monitoring of city power plant business.
Today is the first day to file for the April 4 city elections.
