That is when the cattle prods come out and newcomers are given a jolt. James Jeffries, an associate superintendent in Austin and a Red, Red Rose officer would noi “divulge the secrets of the initia tion ceremony,” but he said the prods were used to give “a slight electical charge, just a tickle.” Larry Ascough, a Red, Red Rose member and a Dallas school administrator, called the accusation that the society was designed to keep women out of lop administration “a far-out theory.” “It’s a bunch of boys having a good time,” he said. olice search r girls’ killer ation High Resi- fents wary om9 ii the couls The ckeis United Press International |)ALLAS — Police Sunday they had launched a con- Jlraled manhunt for a suspect (he shootings of two teenage lAzlea Lynetta Williams, 16, (Sabrina Annette Oliver, 15, : found at about 6:30 a.m. rday, lying side by side face Ln,by police investigating re ps of gunfire.

Williams was identified by her mother, Shirley Moore, Saturday afternoon after police had matched the body with a missing person report.

SSa-copY However, Ascough said, “In the school business, everybody who is anybody belongs. I doubt if there’s a superintendent in the stale who’s not a member.” Edna Manning, superinten dent of the T u loso- M id way dis trict in Corpus Christi, said the organization does hurt women who want to advance. “I’ve viewed it always as part of the good old boys’ network,” she said. “Any group restricted to that sex will put forth the goals of that sex at the expense of the other.” Larry Blair, superintendent of the Brady school district in central Texas turned down an invitation to join. “I really can’t see the profes sional connection there,” he said. “Every school district is concerned about preventing hazing as part of the students’ initiation into organizations. We say you shouldn’t do that in high school. I have a hard time accepting it for adults.” The group was formed in 1936 in Beaumont. About 1,000 administrators from the state’s 1,043 school districts are now members, and about 75 initiates will go through the ceremony. The state has 17 women school administrators. None of them has been invited to join the group. 5 DRAWER CHEST 6 DRAWER CHEST s 79 95 MAPLE ROOM DIVIDER 60x72x16 Reg. s 269 95 Sale $ 229 95 OAK ROOM DIVIDER Reg. s 369 95 Sale $ 299 95 42” SOLID OAK DINING TABLE & 4 NOSTALGIC HIGH BACK DINING CHAIRS WITH EXQUISITE DETAILING Reg. s 599 95 PRoblEM PREqNANCy?
