Sheriff Smith back on the legal hook The regents, meeting as a committee of the whole Mon day, discussed a $360,000 appropriation for the purchase and installation of computer software for an on-line registra tion system. The board was expected to grant tenure to Dr. Darwin Klingman, who has accepted the position of professor of business analysis and research. Klingman is holder of the Jeanne and John Blocker Chair in business admi nistration. Regents also were expected to approve proposals to establish a center for engineering geosci ences and a center for retailing studies. Dr. V.

Members of this committee, which would in clude the registrar and advisers from each department, would draw up specifications for the new system and seek bids from vendors. The center for engineering geosciences will be established under the Earth Resources In stitute in the College of Geosci ences. The center for retailing studies will be established in the Department of Marketing in the The committee also approved an appropriation of $500,000 for another type of computer system — a 128-terminal system that will provide interactive computing.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Monday reversed an order by U.S. District J udge Wil liam Wayne Justice that dismis sed official misconduct charges against the East Texas sheriff and reinstated him to office. Smith could not be reached for comment late Monday and a sheriffs department spokesman said the sheriff had not issued a statement concerning the rul ing. Justice had ordered the state to halt prosecution and removal proceedings brought by District Attorney Hunter Brush against Smith after his July 11, 1981, indictment in Tyler on a charge he had misused county prop erty. The state appealed the March 9 ruling and a three- judge panel in New Orleans issued a 32-page opinion Mon day rejecting Justice’s order. “Our review of the entire evi dence has left us with the defi nite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed,” the appeals court said in its opinion. Smith was removed from office shortly after his indict ment and a state court appointed retired FBI agent Alan Manning as interim sheriff. Smith claimed Brush’s pro secution was retaliatory and stemmed from a deputy’s testi mony in the trial of a Tyler nightclub owner, whose convic tion on assault charges was over turned after two narcotics offic ers admitted lying about the charges. Charges lodged against Smith included using a county car for personal business, mak ing personal long-distance calls on county telephones and using deputies to patrol an apartment complex in exchange for a free apartment for his girlfriend. The sheriff also was charged with breaking into a man’sa an aborted attempt to sen fire and threatening a attorney’s investigator. J ustice stressed that hisac did not absolve Smith, agreed Brush prosecutedSi in retaliation The appeals court, how concluded “that the strenjii the evidence and seriomna the charges should be dered in determining if ret tion or bad faith exists" “strong evidence of cit violations supported bringing evidence befoit grand jury.” The judges also saidjoi gave too much weight tofrie between the sheriff anddii attorney as well as unsubsti ated rumour. “Our close examinatiM the record reveals that tht trict court elevated isolated dents between certain meoil of the sheriffs staff andBni staff into a finding of host between the sherif f and Bra the judges said. Bryan, San Antonio recipients 505 Tniversity Hr., College St ait ion Airport, research center OK’d by Denise Richter Battalion Staff A Brazos Valley regional air port came a step closer to reality Monday when Texas A&M re gents decided to develop Bryan Air Base as a regional facility. And members of a delegation from San Antonio, who five months ago were sent back home to do their “homework,” were given an “A 4- ” in the form of a research and extension cen ter for their city. After regents decided to lo cate the airport at Bryan Air Base, Board Chairman H.R. “Bum” Bright called for the for mation of a four-member steer ing committee, made up of local officials and a Texas A&M Sys tem representative, to oversee the facility’s development.

The firm studied the master plan developed for Easterwood Airport in 1978, which pro jected the demand for a regional airport facility through 1998. The improvements called for at Easterwood were compared with the improvements required at Bryan Air Base to achieve an equal level of service. The improvements, which were divided into three phases, would cost $10.6 million at Eas terwood and $20.4 million at Bryan Air Base, said Joe Lamb of Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam Inc. At Easterwood, runways are able to withstand heavier air craft; however, runways are too short to enable large planes to land and take off, Lamb said. f€E li©l?S BONFIRE SPECIAL Coots Light 3 25 gal. 3611 S. College The opposite problem exists at Bryan Air Base: the runways are long, but are unable to with stand heavier aircraft, he said. Throughout his presenta tion, Lamb asked regents and city officials to consider the two airports equal. But Regent Royce E. Wisenbaker of Tyler told him that would be impos sible. “The facilities aren’t equal,” Wisenbaker said. “You can’t land big aircraft at Easterwood. If we’re ever going to have a big high-tech industrial park, we’ll have to have air transportation.” Regent John R. Blocker of Houston agreed: “With the oil industry what it is in this area, there’s more and more need for air transport.” Regents then voted to de velop the Bryan facility as a re gional airport.
