Names released,
rehearing denied
By BRIGID BROCKMAN
Stuff writer
The list of the names of
those considered for the Uni
versity’s presidency in 1981
was released directly to the
Bryan/College Station Eagle
Friday morning as a result of a
lawsuit filed against Texas
A&M in 1981.
The University was re
quired to release the names of
the 339 nominees to the Eagle
following the decision by the
Texas Supreme Court on
Wednesday overruling the re
quest by the University for a
rehearing of the case.
The vice chancellor for leg
al and public affairs for Texas
A&M said the decision will put
a "horrible chilling effect on
the process of being able to fill
high executive positions."
James Bond explained that
most of the candidates occupy
important positions where
they can not afford any pub
licity because of the bad
effects it could have on their
present jobs.
But John Williams, pub
lisher of the Eagle, said the
testimony heard at the hear-
ingdidn’t support administra
tors’ claims that making such
lists public would harm the re
cruiting process.
Williams said he doesn’t
think the decision will have a
negative effect on the recruit
ing process because most can
didates know the risk involved
with being considered for an
important administrative
position, and they accept that
risk.
He also said the decision set
an important precedent be
cause it gives the public the
opportunity to become more
aware of what is going on in
public institutions.
The University sent at least
31 names to a Dallas consult
ing firm in 1980 to aid in the
search for president. The fol
lowing lists 31 nominees with
their 1980 titles:
Dr. Perry L. Adki sson,
A&M deputy chancellor for
agriculture.

Montana.

Group favors religious liberty
United Press International
Alarmed by what they see as
increasing government threats
to religious liberty, a group of
prominent lawyers and former
government officials have cre
ated a new organization to com
bat federal and slate interven
tion in church matters.
The new group, Americans
for Religious Liberty, is re
sponding to what many religious
leaders feel is a new and danger
ous era in church-state relations
in which the government, espe
cially in tax-related matters, is
pressing a much more activist
stance in seeking to regulate
churches and religious organi
zations.
The new committee has
brought together some of the
most distinguished experts in
the church-state and civil liber
ties field, including Professor
Gharles Rice of the University of
Notre Dame Law School, acting
president of the organization,
and Robert B. Anderson, for
mer treasury secretary, who is
serving as acting chairman.
Officials of the new group say
that it will focus on five issues
that represent “just a few of the
many areas in which millions of
religious Americans feel
threatened by government in
tervention.”
They include:
• Equal access. The issue of
whether students may meet dur-
ing school time for a religious
discussion.
• Integrated auxiliaries. An
effort by the Internal Revenue
Service to determine what is not
a tax exempt church organiza
tion.
• Social Security changes for
clergy. A recently passetl federal
law makes it mandatory for
churches to pay a Social Security
lax on wages they pay church
employees and for church em
ployees to pay a Social Security
tax on wges they earn.
• Faith Christian School. This
fundamentalist church school in
Louisville, Neb., is battling
efforts by the state of Nebraska
to make it meet state teacher
accreditation standards.
• The Moon case. Many reli
gious leaders see the Rev. Sun
Myung Moon’s conviction on in
come tax evasion charges as an
effort by the government to de
termine what is and what is not a
religious organization.
