Ivo Luis Lopez had an espe
cially interesting situation.
Lopez, a junior agricultural
engineering student from Bo
livia, had not been home in al
most three years until last
Christmas. But two and a half
years ago his mother had a baby
boy. Lopez had a brother he
had never seen before.
“He ran away from me at the
airport because I was a stranger
to him,” Lopez said. “I had to
keep telling him that his mother
was my mother too. He kept
saying ‘No, no, no,’ and about
the time I convinced him we
were brothers, I had to come
back to school.”

Leos said he has several
American friends, but he con
siders himself fortunate.
“I have American friends,
but I always had to make the
first move,” he said. “It’s very
hard for people who are not
outgoing - who are shy.”
Watkins said that many
Americans are hesitant to talk
to internationals. “But Ameri
cans must realize that the inter
nationals are even more hesi
tant to talk to Americans
because they are in a new
world,” she said.
Watkins said she sees that
most American students are ba
sically indifferent to interna

DALLAS — Critics of a ma-"
jor court-approved revision in
the city’s school desegregation
plan accused the district of
backing away from integration
to stop “white flight.”
U.S. District Judge Barefoot
Sanders Monday approved a
plan that would allow nearly
4,000 elementary school chil
dren who are currently bused to
attend neighborhood schools.
The ruling, which scales
down the district’s busing pro
gram by 35 percent, was an at
tempt to appease white parents,
said former Dallas Cowboys
football player Pettis Norman,
chairman of the Black Coalition
to Maximize Education.
“I don’t see anything in this
that will improve the quality of
education for minority chil
dren,” he said. “It seems to be
more of a move to get minority
kids out of North Dallas so
some white families will come
back into the district.”
The plan, which affects only
elementary school students,
drew praise from Dallas Inde
pendent School District Super
intendent Linus Wright.
The district has seen a steady
drop in white enrollment since
the early 1970s. As of fall 1983,
49.8 percent of DISD students
were black, 24.7 percent were
white, 23.3 percent were His
panic, and the rest were from
other minority groups.
The initial Dallas desegrega
tion lawsuit was filed in 1970 on
behalf of 21 black and Hispanic
children. Court-ordered busing
began in Dallas in 1976 under a
plan devised by U.S. District
Judge William “Mac” Taylor,
but it was rejected by appeals
courts. Sanders was appointed
to the case in 1981 and busing
continued as he conducted new
hearings to refine the 1976
jet
plan.
In his ruling Monday, Sand
ers said his decision was made
in the interest of iniproi
cation. It included a stctii
ing on the district to

WASHINGTON — Presi
dent Reagan firmly repudiated
the blessing of the Ku Klux
Klan Tuesday, saying Republi
cans and Democrats alike must
“continue our unified rejection
of such elements of hate in our
political life.”
“Those of us in public life can
only resent the use of our
names by those who seek politi
cal recognition for the repug
nant doctrines of hate they es
pouse,” the president said in a
letter to Morris Abram of the
U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
The letter, approved by Rea
gan while he was in China and
dated April 30, was made public
by the White House Tuesday.
“The politics of racial hatred
and religious bigotry practiced
by the Klan and others have no
place in this country, and are
destructive of the values for
which America has always
stood,” it said.
Abram had requested the
president’s views after Klan
leaders in Georgia endorsed

member Mary Frances Berry,
