AUSTIN — University ofTexas
System Regents agreed Monday
to repeal a rule requiring the dis
missal of any system employee
given probation for a drug-related
offense. 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.

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.
