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. Thomas Rhyne, coor
dinator of computing for the
University, said that if the
appropriation is approved by
the full board today, a planning
committee will be appointed at
the first of the year. 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.
All committee action is subject
to the approval of the full board.

NEW ORLEANS — The on-
again, off-again tenure of Smith
County Sheriff J.B. Smith is off
again.
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

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.

In June, the board autho
rized Lockwood, Andrews and
Newnam Inc. to prepare a feasi
bility study on airport require
ments in the Brazos Valley.
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.

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.
