than 20 years, and their critics
charged publishers “diluted”
science texts so as not to run
afoul of their strict beliefs in reli
gious creationism.
Under the textbook bill spon
sored by Sen. Ray Farabee, D-
Wichita Falls, both critics and
supporters would have an equal
chance to present their views to
the textbook adoption commit
tee. The committee’s member
ship also would be expanded
from 15 to 27.
A bill identical to Farabee’s
was pending in a House com
mittee.
“This bill represents the solu
tion of the Board of Education,”
said Rep. Gerald Hill, D-Austin.
“This covers the possibility that
one side or another will not be
overrepresented. Both sides will
be equally treated,” be said.
In other action, the Senate
approved a bill extending the
statute of limitations in rape and
other sexual abuse cases from
three to five years. The bill’s
sponsor, Sen. Bob McFarland,
R-Arlington, said prosecutors,
were not always able to indict a
rape suspect within three years.
“Thisjust gives them (the pro
secutors) an additional 24
months,” he said.
McFarland said instances of
rape are rising at an alarming
rate and referred to the Dallas
area as the “rape crisis center of
the world.”
T he bill was prompted in par
ticular by a Tarrant County rape
that occurred just more than
three years ago. McFarland said
police have a suspect but f or now
the man is home free because of
the three-year limitation.

I The survey by the Gray
Panthers indicated “elder
abuse” is a severe problem in
Texas. The group called for in-
glfased state funding of prog
en wego 11
e for dec^ 1
rams to help the elderly live
more independently and to help
family members deal with the
emotional problems of caring
for a senile parent.
The group sent question
naires to 1,500 people employed
in the fields of health services,
law enforcement and social ser
vices.
Long-term conditions such as
poverty are targeted as the
primary cause of abuse, fol
lowed by a desire by the abuser
for personal gain (as in taking an
elderly person’s Social Security
check), emotional disorders in
the abuser and alcohol or drug
use by the abuser.
The survey showed the most
prominent form of abuse is self
neglect, in which an isolated
elderly person does not have the
resources to care for himself.
Financial exploitation of the
elderly by relatives or acquaint
ances is second, followed by ver
bal and emotional abuse, physic
al abuse and active neglect.
