United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — Attor-
ys seeking a third Louisiana
al for State Sen. Michael
Keefe on charges of mail
tud and obstruction of justice
Id a federal appeals court
mrsday they want a postpone-
snt of still another trial
Keefe faces in Texas.
The Texas trial, on charges
bank fraud, is scheduled for
)v. 14 in Lubbock.
O’Keefe and three other de-
idants in the Texas case have
ced that the trial be postponed
til the 5th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals rules on O’Keefe’s
convictions in the other case.
O’Keefe’s attorneys argued
before the appeals court that he
wasn’t given a fair trial in the
earlier New Orleans case be
cause the jury that convicted
him in the retrial was biased.
The attorneys said that U.S.
District Judge Fred Cassibry
should have moved the Febru
ary retrial out of New Orleans
because of extensive news cover
age of the original proceeding.
The court gave no indication
when it would rule in the case.
U.S. District Judge H. Charles
Woodward in Lubbock has set a
Nov. 7 hearing on the request
for postponement, which is
opposed by federal prosecutors.
In the Louisiana case on
appeal, O’Keefe was found guil
ty last year and again in Febru
ary of cheating business part
ners out of $900,000 in the sale
of a Metairie apartment build
ing. O’Keefe has maintained
that the money was a loan he
intended to repay.
O’Keefe, his accountant Mary
Blacksher Martin, his law part-
nerjoseph Berriganjr. and for
mer bank president James
Queyrouze claim their right to a
fair trial on the bank fraud
charges will be endangered un
less the Texas trial is postponed
until the appeals court rules on
O’Keefe’s current request.
O’Keefe, who lost a bid for
re-election in the Oct. 22 prim
ary, and his co-defendants claim
his testimony is essential to the
defense in the upcoming trial.
Prosecutors, however, have said
that if O’Keefe testifies, his prior
conviction may be used against
him.
case claim they will be entitled to
a new trial if they are found guil
ty in the bank fraud case and
O’Keefe’s prior conviction later
is overturned. They said they
would deserve a new trial on
grounds that the senator’s pre
vious conviction was mentioned
to the jury.
The defendants in the Texas
Prosecutors disagreed.
They said there is no law that
entitles a defendant charged in
two cases to an automatic post
ponement after a first convic
tion to allow time for appeals be
fore a second trial starts.

EL PASO — Students learn
ing English as a second language
are no different from consum
ers of other products — if they
dojn’t like tne product, they
won’t buy it, a linguistics profes
sor from the University of
Toronto said Thursday.
Carlos Yorio will speak Satur
day at an annual conference of
teachers who teach English as a
second language. The speech
will emphasize the way students
have been forgotten in planning
bilingual education programs.
The linguist said he knows
what it is like to learn English as a
second language because he
? ;rew up in Argentina and his
irst language was Spanish.
Yorio has taught and resear
ched at the University of Toron
to for 10 years. Next year he will
become airector of the English
program at Lehman College in
New York.
“That’s exciting because most
of the students there are Pucr.
Rican and their native langmp]
is Spanish," he said.
A University of Toronif
study showed language studenl
.ire expressing an increased id
terest in grammar.
Teachers should not be|
erned by the students bull
can’t ignore what studentsthni|
he said.
“Teachers must listen tothtl
needs of their students andwonl
out a compromise to saiisl'l
everyone,” he said. “In no '
can we ignore what the student
think. Only when we workou:if
compromise can we create ail
atmosphere of learning."
