S School Board hears udget report on cuts ■ by Rusty Roberts Battalion Reporter . Hllege Station School Board ||^Hees heard a grim report ' Hits budget committee Mon ty night. .[Bill Wasson, finance commit- e chairman, told the board '61 it would be using fewer re- * R es to °ffer the same prog- ms. ‘ / “We are faced with a lean i(li>et,” Wasson said. “It’s time ial have to ‘liite the bullet’.” , The budget cuts will force the jard to consider program ^WjHges, Wasson said. He said a raget isn’t effective if it’s con- . Evin aually conforming to unorga- ■ programs. Bhe budget commitee’s main llctive is to have the board Rset program guidelines and ■ allow the committee to Drk within those guidelines. However, guidelines might mean that some programs suf fer major funding cuts, Wasson said. One area in particular will be staffing of new school person nel. The board approved a tem porary freeze in overall teacher personnel additions, Wasson said, but approved three addi tions to help fill special educa tion and special programs posi tions. “We are mainly concerned with reassigning personnel to the classrooms,” Wasson said, “rather than filling up costly administrative positions.” In related business, an 4.67 percent increase in overall teacher salaries was approved for the purpose of the new budgetary plan, Wasson said. He said the finance committee siibmitted the general increase to force the board to allocate the funds accordingly to different programs. The salary increases include base salaries and fringe benefits. They will be effective for the 1983-1984 school year. In other business. Trustee Charles Giammona told the board that four College Station junior high school classrooms were inspected and found to have asbestos readings between 5 and 7 percent — four percent higher than Environmental Pro tection Agency requirements of one percent. However, Giammona stres sed that the problem was not cri tical and that only custodial and maintanence employees were affected. He said the traces of asbestos were found above the ceiling and he estimates the cost of the repair to be $4500. }roup to lobby for veterans ‘xposed to Agent Orange p.r y comi aachedl) perf fco der fflii id and lW United Press International ng to ELK CITY, Okla. — Forma- l. )n of the Oklahoma Agent Bige Foundation will be i told inounced Wednesday at a Schnf%s conference in Elk City, a aid thtjk(: sman for the group said in grabjllay. tder at Albert L.

One of Carter’s first priorities is to assemble a group of Okla homa veterans to participate in a vigil at the Vietnam veterans memorial on the Mall in Washington, Reynolds said. He said Vietnam veterans from across the country have maintained a vigil at the memo rial since it was dedicated. Reynolds said a Vietnam veterans Agent Orange convoy will leave Texas and come through Oklahoma in August on its way to Washington to lob by on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans Agent Orange Relief Act. He said the legislation was in troduced to force the govern ment to recognize a connection between Agent Orange and some of the health problems veterans have experienced since they left Vietnam.

Horse slayings continue Eighth Dallas mare United Press International DALLAS — Authorities said the fatal mutilation with a rake handle of a 2-year-old filly marked the eighth in a string of horse slayings in the area. The filly, owned by William Watson of Pleasant Grove and described as a family pet, was sexually mutilated in the fashion of seven other horses, all females, which have been attack ed since March, investigators said Sunday. Watson found the carcass in his backyard early Friday morn ing, he said. Its neck, chest and sexual organs had been muti lated. “She was so gentle she would walk up to people,” he said. “Maybe I made her too gentle.” Watson said the Appaloosa was being groomed for show and was so tame his daughter, 5, and puppy could ride it. killed “I lost a pet, and I lost money,” he said. “Our whole lives were wrapped around that horse.” The attacks have come on four separate occasions, each in south Dallas County. Son says dad was suffering United Press International HOUSTON — A tearful Billy Ray Clore admitted Monday the shot he fired into his comatose father’s brain was “morally right but legally wrong.” The jury that convicted Clore of attempted murder Friday for the March 21 shooting of his father, Robert Clore, 63, heard testimony Monday toward de ciding the younger Clore’s pun ishment. “In the eyes of the law, it would have to be wrong, but they didn’t know what I knew,” Clore, 26, said of the fear his father might be suffering. Also called to testify during the punishment phase was Robert Clore’s widow, Hazel Clore, who said she forgives and supports her son despite the conviction. She asked the jury to assess probation for her son. The state offered no testi mony concerning Clore’s sent ence, but Clore’s grandmother, Betty Clore, 86, told the panel her grandson “has been punished already.” Clore could be sentenced to as little as two years probation or a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Prosecutors have indicated they would re commend neither prison time nor probation. Robert Clore died two weeks after he was shot in the head March 21 as he lay resting in a nursing home bed, prompting an original charge of murder against Billy Ray Clore. But prosecutors reduced the charge to attempted murder during the trial after a neurolog ist convinced them death was JOIN THE ADD-A-BEAD WHOLESALE CLUB 1 /2 PRICE Until Nov. 30, 1983 Come in and join the Club for $10 fee & a purchase of $39.00.

The guilty verdict Friday came despite testimony from Billy Ray Clore that he loved his father and acted on his father’s wish when he shot him. In his closing argument, de fense attorney Jack Zimmer- mann told jurors Clore was obeying his father’s command. “He did what he thought was right,” Zimmermann told the jury. “He did what his dad made him promise he would do, and if Robert Clore were here today, he would say, ‘Let my boy go.’” :F1NE JEWEi Villa Oaks West apartments • Convenient to campus • Brand new • Spacious floor plans • On-site leasing and management • Pool, fireplaces, laundry room Now preleasing! 1107 Verde Drive between FM-2818 and Villa Maria Road 779-1136 415 University 846-5816 THE LOW-DOWN ON A HIGH-PAYING CAREER WITH LUBY’S.
