The Texas State Teachers Asso ciation, the most politically active teachers’ group in the state, hosted a pep rally for the hundreds of teach ers who have converged on Austin to lobby for higher teacher pay. Sen. Carl Parker, a Port Arthur Democrat who chairs the Senate Ed ucation Committee, urged the nearly 300 teacher gathered for the rally to “forgive and remember” at election time those lawmakers unwil ling to raise taxes for higher teacher pay and other educational reforms. “Right now you shouldn’t be sol diers, you should be salesman,” Par ker said. “Come the primary and general election it’s war time and that’s when you become soldiers.” Parker also urged the teachers to he wary of lawmakers who say they support higher teacher pay but don’t favor a tax increase. “Ask them what tax they are will ing to raise,” he said, “If they can’t tell you, they’re not your friend.” Rep. Ernestine Glossbrenner, D- Alice, also urged the teachers to be calm in their dealings with legis lators. “We have to be careful,” she said, “because we can do more damange than good. You have a very heavy responsibility.” The most warmly received speaker at the rally was state Sen. Lloyd Doggett, the apparent winner of a runoff contest for the Demo cratic U.S. Senate nomination. Doggett told the teachers he would put his campaign on “the back burner” while the special session meets and deal with nothing but ed ucation. “Every poll I’ve seen says the peo ple of this state are ready to pay the increased price for quality educa tion,” he said.

Mario Cuomo said Monday. The governor repealed his sup port for a female vice presidential candidate, but added that he be lieved a candidate from Texas could help the Democrats defeat President Reagan. Cuomo also said he believed that if Mondale defeats Gary Hart in the Calif ornia and New Jersey primaries Tuesday, “as a practical matter it’s over, psychologically it’s over and the suspense is gone.” He contended that if Mondale lost California by only 1 or 2 percentage points, he would consider that a vic tory since Hart is counting on a big victory in that state. Ferraro, a congresswoman who like Cuomo is a Queens Democrat, has been prominently mentioned as a possible vice presidential candi date. She heads the Democratic plat form committee in jjlanning for the San Francisco convention in July. The Democrats need to win Texas, the governor said, adding that Reagan probably will win Cali fornia in November and Mondale could be expected to do well in the Northeast. Noting that President Kennedy chose Lyndon Johnson from Texas in 1960 to geographically balance the ticket, Cuomo said now people are talking about people like Texas Gov. Mark White or Sen. Lloyd Bentsen to do the same thing in 1984. Cuomo said the idea of a woman candidate “means real progress in this country.” beat The following incidents wen ported to the University Pofc pari merit through Monday.
