Eighth-grader writes protest letter
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — An
eighth-grade student, worried
that his school day may be leng
thened, wrote computer mag
nate H. 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.
