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.

Reynolds said the foundation
would be chaired by David Car
ter, a Vietnam-era veteran from
Lexington, Okla.
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.
Reynolds said he served as a
civilian in Vietnam in 1968 and
1969.

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

and not the gunshot wound.
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.’”
