Inc state Battalion/Pi January 2| ; ! A whirlwind for Gov. White United Press International AUSTIN, — From an early morning campaign workers’ breakfast to a late night ball, Gov. Mark White found his first day on the job filled with speeches, church worship, a pa rade and other duties of a host. The whirlwind of activities was neither slowed nor cancel led despite a steady, cold drizzle Tuesday. White even found opportunity to make light of the weather at a breakfast for his supporters. “That’s not rain,” White told thousands of campaigners at Austin's city auditorium. “Those are Republican tears out there.” The inclement weather also failed to deter some 8,000 spec tators who watched as White, the former attorney general, be came the state’s 42nd chief ex ecutive. A drenched donkey, the mascot of the Democratic Party, stood nearby as White placed his hand on a Bible once owned by Sam Houston, the state’s first governor, and repeated his oath of office. Men in soggy suits and ladies in damp furs shivered during the 30-minute swearing-in cere mony on the front steps of a pink granite Capitol building festooned with red, white and blue banners. Afterward White, in an act he said symbolized an administra tion that would be open to all Texans, trekked across the Capitol’s south lawn immediate ly after the ceremony to cut the lock off the gates of the Gov ernor’s Mansion. Links of the chopped chain were quickly scooped up as souvenirs. Later, a luncheon was held beneath red and white-striped tents on the Capitol grounds as the first family ate a traditional fried chicken lunch that Bill and Rita Clements prepared. fuesday night White kicked off the first of three inaugural balls by leading a crowd of 800 people in a waltz at the Austin Opera House, a large dance hall usually used for country- western and rock concerts. Wearing a bright purple dress, Linda Gale V\ lute, the state’s new first lady, was intro duced at the affair attended by her husband’s political mentor, former Gov. Dolph Briscoe, and numerous other statewide elected officials. The bail at the Opera House was designated the “Bluebonnet Bowl,” and admission was $5 a person. the job,” White said, The other balls i formal, with admi$si«j Sf)0 a person.

United Press International AUSTIN — His last official act as governor of Texas was signing a brucellosis proclama tion and one of his first priorities as a private citizen will be surgery to correct an old hand ball injury. Bill Clements, the state's first Republican governor since Re construction, began rebuilding a private life Tuesday after four years in office, and he did it in his typical unspectacular fashion. . “I don’t think he planned anything special,” said the for mer governor’s executive assis tant, Hilary Doran, of Clements plans for Gov. Mark White’s in auguration day. Doran said Clements indi cated he planned on “getting his teeth fixed and his shoes re soled” Tuesday.

The former governor’s last day in Austin was Monday. Cle ments described his last hours in the Capitol as a sentimental day of photos and farewells. “I feel very sentimental and I feel that is a natural way to feel after four years,” said Clements as he left his Capitol office. “I’ve made some lasting relation ships.” Signing a proclamation en dorsing and saluting new reg ulations adopted by the Animal Health Commission for a brucellosis program was Cle ments’ last official act, Doran said.Brucellosis is a disease char acterized by weakness, and ex treme exhaustion acquired through infected animals or animal products such as milk, dairy products, and meat. Among the former gov ernor’s final unofficial acts were farewell meetings with Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and several legisla tors w’ho w anted to express their gratitude, Doran said. Unless outside demands be come too great, Clements plans to enter a Dallas hospital next week for surgery to implant a left hip joint, Doran said. Cle ments sustained the injury play ing handball several years ago. “He’s been putting it off for a couple of years but it just got progressively worse,” Doran said. “He’s been in pain for the better part of this past year, but there was no time to stop.” John Ford, who serveci as Cle ments’ press secretary, said fhe former governor and his wife, Rita, plan a trip to China later this year.
