High turnover among workers
who provide direct care for mentally
retarded Texas state school resi
dents is probably caused by unrealis
tic expectations on the part of the
employees, a Texas A&M University
survey indicates.
“There are no career ladders for
people who want to maintain contact
with the clients. We should make it
clear that if a person is seeking long
term career opportunity this is prob
ably not what they would want to
do,” said Delbert Price, who received
his doctorate in educational psychol
ogy from Texas A&M in May.
Price conducted the survey be
cause turnover among direct-care
employees is a problem within the
Texas Department of Mental Health
and Mental Retardation.
Turnover not only causes disrup
tion to the school residents, who de
pend on the direct-care workers for
everything from friendship to help
with toileting and feeding, but also
costs the state thousands of tax dol
lars in retraining, he said.
Richmond State School, the insti
tution with the highest turnover, has
experienced up to a 100 percent
turnover rate in a one-year period.
» said Price, who is coordinator of out
reach services to TDMH-MR.
Due to the economy, Price said
turnover rates are now relatively low
at 25 percent. An improvement in
job conditions, however, could put
the state institutions back at an aver
age 50 percent turnover rate unless
administrators take a straightfor
ward approach with job applicants,
he said.
Price sent out open-ended ques
tionnaires to (560 direct-care employ
ees at the Richmond State School
and the Austin State School, which
has a moderate rate of turnover. He
received 589 responses from work
ers who, on the average, had been
employed by the state for five years.
Price said the survey showed that the
average direct-care employee in
Texas is a woman with a high school
diploma.
The most frequently mentioned
reason the employees gave for slay
ing with their jobs was their desire to
help residents of the schools. The
second most frequently given reason
was the pay, promotions and other
benefits from the job. Price said.
The most frequently given reason
for leaving the state jobs was because
of job conditions. The second most

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Su
preme Court Tuesday made it more
difficult for aliens to avoid deporta
tion from the United States because
of fear they could be persecuted in
their native countries.
The 9-0 ruling made it tougher
for those seeking refuge in this
country. The ruling could affect
thousands of Haitians, who have
flocked to this country to avoid polit
ical persecution at home.
The decision comes as Congress
struggles to establish a policy on am
nesty for millions of illegal aliens al
ready in the country. It reversed a
lower court ruling that aliens seek
ing refuge in this country need only
prove a “well-founded fear of perse
cution” to avoid deportation.
Instead, the justices said, most
aliens seeking to block deportation
and stay in the United States must
demonstrate a “clear probability”
they will be persecuted.
The decision came in the case of
Predrag Stevie, 33, a Chicago build
ing trades worker. Stevie claims he
would be singled out for political
persecution if he returns to Yugosla-
His lawyer, Ann Ritter of New
York City, said the court’s opinion,
which clears the way for Stevie’s de
portation, “reflects the times.”
urged the high court to adopt
founded fear of persecution’
standard for blocking deportal
This would have made it
self-proclaimed political refugf
avoid being returned to their
lands.
But the government argued
deportation should be stopped
when it has been proved lhai
alien is likely to be persecuted
home.

Beirut officials debate plar
United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Rival mili
tias shelled Beirut and its suburbs
Tuesday with mortars and artillery
in fighting that came as Parliament
opened a debate on a government
plan to end nine years of civil war in
Lebanon.
The clashes, which began with a
few shots audible to the Parliament
members who they filed into the
morning session in central Beirut,
quickly spread through the city. At
least one person was killed and six
were wounded.
Militia gunners lobbed at least 23
artillery shells in 10 minutes near the
suburban Baabda residence of Presi
dent Amin Gemayel, causing several
bushfires, and followed up with a
barrage of 120 mm artillery shells.
Shells also exploded near a mili
tary hospital in the Christian neigh
borhood of Badaro, Beirut’s indus
trial area at Mkalles, the Christian
southern suburb of Hadeth and Ain
Rummaneh, where at least one per
son was killed.
Military sources said shells fired
from the Moslem western section of
Beirut fell into the mostly Christian
east. Sniper fire and violent clashes
also broke out along the Creen Line,
which divides the capital.
A bomb exploded in a physics
classroom at the American Univer
sity, but no casualties were reported,
witnesses said. It went off a week af
ter American professors reportedly
were threatened with kidnapping by
an extremist Islamic group.
In southern Lebanon, guerrillas
exchanged machine-gun and rocket-
propelled grenade fire with an Is
raeli patrol 11 miles southeast of the
port city of Sidon, Moslem Mourabi-
toun radio said.
The ambush came on the eve of
the second anniversary of Israel’s in
vasion of Lebanon.
The renewed clashes in Beirut fol
lowed what Lebanese military
sources called “a night of madness”
in which at least 100 shells exploded
near the presidential palace.
Before the fighting spread, the
deputies agreed to resume their
bate Wednesday on the S-weef
government’s proposed "new.d
ter” for Lebanon.
Prime Minister Rashid K
seeks a crucial vote of confidenct
his initiatives aimed al endingi»i
nal warfare, getting Israeli tr«
out of south Lebanon and reorgai
ing the army.
The 10-man national unity
inet also needs approval for
nomic reforms and plans toendi
country’s 41-year-old formula
handing out six government post
Christians for every five Moslfl
given positions.
The Lebanese assembly, whoK
ficial Parliament building was
stroyed when the civil war eruj*
in 1975, heard an impassioned]
for peace from ex-Prime
Saeh Salam.
