AUSTIN — Legislative leaders,
addressing a rally of teachers turned
lobbyists, urged the educators Mon
day to be enthusiastic but not over
bearing in their pursuit of higher
pay and the increased taxes to fund
it.
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.

ALBANY, N.Y. — The ideal
Democratic presidential ticket this
fall would be Walter Mondale “and a
Geraldine Ferraro from Texas,”
New York Gov. 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The governor repealed his sup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.”
