Teachers’ raise proposed
United Press International
AUSTIN — The Texas Asso
ciation of School Boards Tues
day proposed a pay schedule
that would hike annual salaries
for first-year teachers from
$11,100 to $15,000 and make it
easier for them to earn even
higher salaries.
Association director David
Thompson also said school
board members support in
creases in the sales and motor
fuels taxes to generate an addi
tional $1.1 billion in revenues
for education.
Thompson made the presen
tation to the House Education
Committee, which opened a
series of hearings to coincide
with the Select Public Education
Committee headed by H. Ross
Perot.
The Perot committee is con
ducting a wide-ranging investi
gation into Texas’ education sys
tem in advance of a special ses
sion that is expected to address,

among other education topics,
teacher salaries.
In addition to recommend
ing higher starting salaries, the
school board association also
proposed narrowing the gap be
tween steps in various pay classi
fications.
Thompson said school board
members believe teachers
should be able to advance to
higher classifications based on
experience and advanced train
ing rather than only on degrees.
“We think we place far too
much emphasis on the degree
alone, particularly those that are
not even in your subject field,”
he said.
The association’s tax plan
calls for a 1-cent increase in the
state sales tax, which would be
earmarked for education, and a
5-cent hike in the motor fuels tax
to be split between education
and highways.
With the number of students
enrolled in Texas public schools
increasing by as many as 80,000
a year, Thompson said there is a
need for new revenues.
Chairman Bill Haley, D-
Center, who is a member of both
the House panel and the Perot
committee, said no recommen
dations would be made until
April. The committees are appa
rently setting the stage for a
summer special session of the
Legislature.

Suspected typhoid causej
Trinity University salad
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — Tossed
salads served at a Trinity Uni
versity cafeteria may be the
source of a typhoid fever out
break that has struck eight
people, health officials said
Tuesday.
Dr. Courand Rothe, direc-
tor of the Metropolitan
Health District, said it was
confirmed this weekend that
another Trinity student has
typhoid, bringing the total
number of victims to contract
the disease to eight.
Seven of the victims are
Trinity students. One victim
— a 28-year-old ophthalmo
logist’s assistant — is not a stu
dent, but ate meals on a regu
lar basis at the Trinity cafeter
ia, officials said.
All eight victims apparent
ly ate tossed salads at the
school cafeteria, said Dr.
Robert F. Bell, the health dis
trict’s director of communic
able diseases.
“A lot of them ate very little
else,” Bell said.

United Pres* International
LUBBOCK — Small schools
can provide a “magic” because
individual students have an
identity instead of being lost in
the general population of larger
schools, small school administra
tors were told Tuesday.
H. Ross Perot, chairman of
the Texas State Select Commit
tee on Public Education, was
speaking to the Fourth Annual
Conference for Administrators
of Smaller Schools.
“We’ve got schools in our
state that are so big that if you’re
the quarterback and you’re not
winning nobody knows who you
are,” Perot said. “We’ve got to
get away from those monster
schools.”
“Small schools are magic,” he
said, adding that children recog
nized for their individualism
while growing up frequently are
founa in leadership roles as
adults.
He predicted that within a
few years the state would pro
vide the same educational out
lets to children living in rural
areas as provided to children in
urban areas.
“Within five years, in the
most remote, modest little
schoolhouse in Texas, your
math genius can sit down to a
computer terminal,” Perot said.
He said gifted students any
where in the state would have
the chance to take college-level
courses while still in high school.
Meanwhile, he said, the peo
ple of Texas have to find a way to
equalize the amount of money
available to various school dis
tricts. He said some districts
have trouble paying the light bill
while other aistricts builc
at elementary schools.
“Either we are going to
address this as Texans or some
judge is going to give us an
answer we’re not goingu
he warned.
Perot said schools ncdil
