Ross Perot a protest let ter filled with misspellings and grammatical errors, Perot said Wednesday. Perot, a member of Gov. Mark White’s commission to up grade the public school system, read the letter at a luncheon of the Texas Association of Broad casters. The letter, part of a package of letters from a small, rural school, said in part: “Mr. Ross Peril. The reason I am writing is because I dont thing its Rights for us to go to school from 7:30 to 5:30.” Perot noted several misspell ings, including the word failing, spelled felling; ours, spelled ares; why, spelled way; and thanks, spelled thinks. “That tells you something ab out the quality of that eighth- grade student and the quality of that teacher,” Perot said, he de clined to name the school or its location. The letter, according to Perot, is proof that Texas educa tors are placing too much emph asis on electives and extracurri cular activitites and not enough on academics. “We’ve got to recapture the school day for learning. You’ve got to have time to teach chil dren,” he said. Perot criticized non-academic courses, such as hunting, fishing, motorcycle riding, shop and auto repair, and said extra curricular activities such as sports, cheerleading, band and choir take too much time from the classroom. Vocational education, includ ing agriculture courses, should be cut from school curriculums because leaving them “is like leaving a little bit of cancer in the human body. “We have a documented case of a kid absent from school for 35 days to go around the state and show his chicken,” Perot said. He called teacher preparation and training a scandal. “If it (teaching) was an asphalt application job, we would call it fraud and put them in jail,” he said. Women file against makers of The Pill United Press International HOUSTON — Thirty-two Australian women have filed a $180 million lawsuit against seven U.S. drug companies claiming they suffered medical problems after taking Amer ican-made birth control pills. The women filed the lawsuit against U.S. companies which they claim manufacture the pills under the trade names Anolar, Anolvar, Micronar, Orlest, Lyn- dial, Ovulen, Nordial, Ovastat and others. Named as defendants were Parke, Davis & Co.; John Wyeth Laboratories Inc.; G.D. Searle & Co.; American Home Products Corp.; Searle Laboratories; Eli Lily & Co., and Searle Phar maceuticals Inc. Plaintiffs’ attorney Benton Musslewhite said he has just be gun gathering evidence, but he believes some pills in question were U.S.-made but exported because they had not yet re ceived Food and Drug Adminis tration approval. “We have some information that some of the pills could not be sold in the United States but were sold in Australia,” Mussle white said. The women involved alleged ly suffered high blood pressure and nervous system problems, including stroke. They began suspecting the contraceptives were causing their problems in 1981, Musslewhite said. He said the suit was filed without complete information because lawyers were afraid the two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims would expire before suit could be filed. “These are very serious in juries,” Musslewhite said. “The actual value of the losses is yet to be determined in detail. We are giving the courts and otherside our estimate of what the recov ery could be. “We believe there could be grounds for punitive damages.” The suit initially seeks $60 million in actual damages and $120 million in punitive dam ages. Musslewhite said any puni tive damage claim would be based on evidence of overseas “dumping” of drugs unsalable in the United States. Musslewhite originally filed the suit on behalf of the women in Texas state district court,-but defense lawyer Richard Joseph- son asked a federal judge to re move it to federal court, which was done.
