Jflfcl'* i i; ' x staff photo by Diana Sultenfuss Former Texas A&M President Jarvis Miller, left, is sworn in Tuesday at the state capitol as a member of the coordinating board for state universities and colleges. Miller was president of pre: Texas A&M from Aug. 1, 1977, untiljuly 10, 1980, when he was dismissed by the Board of Regents. Gramm (continued from page 1) against him. Attending the meeting were former state Rep. Dan Kubiakof Rockdale, one of three announced Democratic candi dates in the race; former Gramm opponent Don McNeil and a representative of humor ist John Henry Faulk, both of whom have indicated they might run; U.S. Rep. Martin Frost; state party chairman Bob Slagle; and about 10 other party workers. Now you know United Press International ITHACA, N.V. — Fresh caught fish isn’t always the best flavored. Linda O’Dierno of Cornell University’s Cooperative Exten sions Service says recent studies by the Naiohal Fisheries Service indicates certain species, includ ing cod, haddock, pollock and hake, seem to improve with ab out three days’ aging. The studies found the flavor of these fish tends to be watery, metallic and starchy right after they're caught, but they develop a highly acceptable, sweet and creamy flavor between three and nine days out of the water — if they were properly handled by the fishermen, wholesaler and retailer. After that, they become insipid and evejitually develop off flavors, the studies found. Not attending the meeting, but also running for the candi dacy are Joe Argis, a plastic surgeon from Houston, and Bill Powers, a Navasota busi nessman. Of the Democratic candidates now in the running, Gramm’s primary opponent is expected to be Rubiak. Kubiak, a 14-year veteran of the Texas House and an unsucc- cessful candidate last year for state land commissioner, does not agree with reports that show Gramm will be favored in the upcoming election. He said that Gentral Texas voters are ready to dump Gramm because they reject his “radical” economic theory. Gramm is a strong supporter of Reaganomics and Reagan’s budget proposals. He was on,e of the key Congressmen who helped the president push his budget recommendations through the Democrat- controlled House. Kubiak accused Gramm of us ing constituents in the district as “guinea pigs for his so-called supply-side economic theory.” “I am convinced that the peo ple of central Texas want to re ject Gramm’s radical economic theory,” Kubiak said. Even if voters do not reject Gramm’s economic theory as Kubiak predicts, Gramm may have another problem with the special election. The state Democratic Party last week asked for a ruling on Gramm’s eligibility to run in the Feb. 12 election. Party officials said that because Gramm voted in the Democratic primary in May, he cannot run as a Republi can unlil 10 months after that date. The secretary of state’s office said it would decide by the end of this week whether Gramm legally can appear on the ballot as a Republican before April 1. Neal said that regardless of the outcome of the state secret ary’s decision, Gramm wants the Congressional post and is willing to run and campaign for howev er long it takes.

NAME ADDRESS CITY -STATE- ZIP Regents (continued from page 1) do what is best for the institu tions of the state of Texas. I have ultimate faith that the senators are going to exercise their own good judgment.” Robert Mead, Caperton’s press secretary, said the senators probably will take their time when considering the appoint ments. . “Any action on the issue will probably take place in the first three weeks of the session,” Mead said. “There probably will be no word until after the first week. This isn’t some issue they want to rush. These appoint ments are some of the biggest and most prestigious appoint ments that a governor can make. And the names keep getting big ger and more prominent.” One of the most prominent of Clements’ lame-duck appoint ments is Clayton, 54. He served 10 terms in the House of Repre sentatives and four terms as speaker of the House. In June 1980, Clayton was in dicted by a federal grand jury on charges of fraud, conspiracy, racketeering and extortion. He was one of the first four to be charged in Brilab, the FBI’s 10- month “sting” operation that probed corruption among labor and government leaders in the Southwest. He was acquitted of all Brilab charges in October 1980. Clayton recently donated his official papers from his terms as House speaker to Texas A&M University. He replaces Bell who had served two terms on the board. Bell, a political ally of White, was not expected to be reappointed. Halbouty, 73, an indepen dent oil operator and producer from Houston, is chairman of the board of Halbouty Alaska Oil Co. and has served as an energy adviser to President Reagan. In 1977, the Geosci ences Building was named in his honor. In 1982, Halbouty don ated $500,000 to the University, which was used to establish an academic chair in geology. Halbouty was selected to suc ceed Coleman, a Houston physi cian and the only black on the board. Coleman received de grees from Fisk University in Tennessee and Howard Univer sity in Washington, D.C. He was the only person on Bright’s list of recommendations to Cle ments who did not receive a de gree from Texas A&M. Sen. Craig Washington, D- Houston, who was House speak er pro tem and Clayton’s lawyer during the Brilab trial, said he won’t support the regents’ appointments because Coleman was not reappointed. Washington also has charged that Halbouty was named be cause he made a $100,000 con tribution to Clements’ cam- paign. Bright, who served as Cle ments’ finance chairman in his two gubernatorial campaigns, has said that Halbouty did not contribute that much to the gov ernor’s campaign. The three appointees were among the five or six candidates Bright said he had recom mended to Clements. “I had some discussion with Clements on the choices," Bright said Monday in a tele phone interview. “I gave him a list of five or six, any of which were acceptable. Five of them were graduates of A&M. 1 think it is important that they have some identification with the main campus of the system.” Blocker, 60, i s 4 Blocker Energy Co.,an tional oil and gas exi firm.
