The Regents also agreed to reinstate an employee at the Austin campus dismissed under that rule almost two years ago. The agreement was part of set tlement in a federal suit filed against the university system by Kurt Gregory, who was dismissed in 1979 as a store clerk after he was given probation on a charge of pos session of LSD. The rule required dismissal of any employee given probation for a drug related offense, even if the offense occurred away from the campus. Gregory gained his previous job and was paid $7,992 in lost wages and $1,000 in attorney fees. The Grievance Review Board at UT Austin had recommended in 1979 that Gregory not be dismis sed under terms of the rule gov erning university system em ployees, because a similar rule concerning students had been ruled invalid by a federal court. But UT Austin President Peter Flawn overruled the Grievance Board, and Gregory was dismis sed Nov. 5, 1979. The suit was filed on Gregory’s behalf by the American Civil Liberties Foundation ofTexas. “different spokes for different folks” 403 University (Northgate) Open 10-7 Mon.-Fri. 10-5 Sat. 846-BIKE ntroversii '1 ago sis- iloyeesle- had beei ouncedb ited state' A. motorist navigates through high water on Wellborn Road during heavy showers Monday.

Orser, the judge, said that since evidence indicated Cooke had committed the espionage offenses, he must be confined to ensure his appearance in court. Cooke, 26, has been charged with passing top-secret informa tion to Soviet authorities during a number of unauthorized visits to the Russian Embassy in Washington. Defense attorney F. Lee Bailey asked Orser on Friday to free Cooke without bail and to drop all charges against him. Cooke, former deputy com mander of a Titan II missile silo in Kansas, has been in custody since May 5, and is being held in the stockade at nearby Fort Meade. After Orser’s decision to go ahead with the preliminary pro ceedings, the prosecution called Lt. Col. Grosvenor LaTarte, prin cipal adviser to the Air Force’s judiciary system, who said he knew of no agreement to drop pro secution of Cooke in exchange for information about missile secrets. La Tarte said such an agree ment could only have come from Gen. Richard Ellis, now retired as SAC commander who said in a sworn affidavit he made no such offer.
