Walls, Downs lead Poke defense
Cowboys sack Packers
United Press International
IRVING, Texas — Defensive
■ backs Everson Walls and Michael
■ Downs keynoted a defensive effort
■ Sunday that allowed the Dallas Cow-
■ boys to survive a bland offensive
■ showing and defeat the Green Bay
■ Packers 20-6.
| Walls intercepted two passes while
■ Downs recorded two quarterback
■ sacks and blocked an extra point at-
■ tempt in sparking the Cowboys to
I their third win in four games.
Dallas, despite continuing offen-
I sive problems, remained tied f or the
||lead in the NFC East with the New
■ York Giants.
The Packers, meanwhile, slipped
■ to 1-3 after a third consecutive week
I of their own offensive woes.
[ Green Bay had managed just
■ seven points in each of their last two
H games and on Sunday the Packers
I only points came from their defense
■ — a 5-yard interception return by
I defensive end Robert Brown on a
■ would-be screen pass thrown by
H Gary Hogeboom.
Dallas could not put the game way
Dallas’ Everson Walls
until 46 seconds remaining when
I ony Dorsett, who became the
NFL’s sixth leading rusher of all
time, scored on a 7-yard run.
I he rest of Dallas’ points — all
scored in the first half — came on a
1-yard run by Timmy Newsome arid
field goals of 32 and 42 yards by Ra-
Dallas’ Michael Downs
fael Septien.
Dorsett gained only 43 yards in 20
carries, but move past former Green
Bay star Jim Taylor on the career
rushing list.
The Cowboys registered six quar
terback traps and so frustrated the
Green Bay offense in the first half
that coach Forrest Gregg replaced
starting quarterback Lynn Dickey
with rookie Randy Wright of Wis
consin.
Dickey completed only 5-of-16
passes and was sacked five times
while Wright made good on just 6-
of-18 attempts.
Alter Brown’s interception return
for a score the Packers had the ball
seven times and three of those pos
sessions ended with Dallas intercep
tions.
Walls picked off a pass at the Dal
las 10-yard line late in the third quar
ter and intercepted another in the
end zone in the early stages of the
fourth period.
Then, just before the two-minute
warning, Wright threw the ball di
rectly into the hands of linebacker
Anthony Dickerson while under in
tense pressure from Randy White
and Ed Jones.
The best Green Bay drive of the
day, which advanced from its own 41
to the Cowboys’ 20 midway through
the final quarter, ended with a
missed field goal attempt by Eddie
Garcia from 37 yards.

ATLANTA — Steve Bartkowski
I fattened his league-leading passing
I statistics Sunday when he completed
I ll-of-13 for 195 yards and three
I touchdowns while leading the At
lanta Falcons to a 42-10 victory over
the Houston Oilers.
In addition, Gerald Riggs rushed

cons hand the Oilers their 20th con
secutive road loss dating back to
1981.
Bartkowski started the rout with a
23-yard touchdown pass to tight end
Arthur Cox with only 4:58 gone in
the game, and Riggs scored on runs
of 2 and 4 yards as the Falcons built
a 21-0 first-quarter lead.
The Oilers kept the ball for almost
the first 10 minutes of the second
quarter during a 75-yard drive but
had to settle for a 22-yard field goal
by Florian Kempf.
The Oilers scored on a 2-yard
pass from Warren Moon to Larry
Moriarty with one second left in the
first half to go out at intermission
trailing 21-10.
The Falcons, 2-2, widened their
lead in the third quarter when Bar
tkowski threw touchdown passes of
25- and 16-yards respectively to Billy
Johnson and Cox, and Jackson
scored on his interception with only
1:04 lef t in the mismatch.
With the Falcons, 2-2, having the
ball for only four plays in the second
quarter, Bartkowski threw only four
passes in the first half — but com
pleted three of those for 73 yards.
Houston, 0-4, failed to get beyond
its own 40 in the first quarter. The
Oilers’ only scoring threat in the
third quarter misfired when Kempf
missed a 43-yard field goal with 3:23
left in the period, and the Oilers
gave up the ball on downs at the At
lanta 2/ with 1:56 gone in the fourth
period.
Atlanta’s first touchdown was set
up when A1 Richardson recovered
an Earl Campbell fumble at the
Houston 42, the second on a 48-yard
pass from Bartkowski to Alfred
Jackson that put the ball at the
Houston 9, and the third when John
Rade recovered a Moon fumble at
the Houston 29.
Moon, 16-of-28 for 208 yards on
the afternoon, was at his best during
the Oilers’ field goal drive when he
completed 5-of-6 passes for 65
yards.
Atlanta had one more scoring op
portunity when Andy Provence re
covered a Moon fumble at the Oil
ers’ 6, but the Falcons were content
to just run out the clock.

PROPOSITION NO. I
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 29 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
that provides to state-chartered
banks the same rights and privi
leges that are or may be granted
to national banks of the United
States domiciled in this state. For
example, if national banks become
authorized to maintain branch of
fices, this amendment would extend
the same privilege to state banks.
The proposed constitutional
amendment will appear on the
ballot as follows: “The constitu
tional amendment to provide
state banks the same rights and
privileges as national banks.”
PROPOSITION NO. 2
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 19 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
that restructures the Permanent
University Fund to provide: (1)
for the expansion of the institutions
eligible to participate in the bond
ing capacity of the fund to include
the components of The University
of Texas and Texas A&M Univer
sity systems that have been added
to those two systems of higher
education since the Permanent Uni
versity Fund was last restructured
by constitutional amendment; (2)
for the expansion of the purposes
for which bond proceeds can be ex
pended from new construction to
include major repair and rehabili
tation projects and the acquisition
of major capital equipment (e.g.,
computers and laboratory equip
ment) and library books and mate
rials; (3) for an increase in the
bonding capacity from 20% (% for
The University of Texas System
and % for the Texas A&M Univer
sity System) to 30% (20% for The
University of Texas System and
10% for Texas A&M University
System) of the value of the assets
(exclusive of real estate) in the
Permanent University Fund in or
der to provide sufficient bond pro
ceeds to care for the addition of 10
new institutions to those authorized
to participate in the Permanent
University Fund bonding program
and to care for the expanded pur
poses for which the bond proceeds
can be spent; and (4) for the dedi
cation of the dividends, interest, and
other income from the Permanent
University Fund remaining after
payment of principal and interest
due on bonds and notes issued, to the
provision of support and mainte
nance (over and above normal leg
islative appropriations) for Texas
A&M University in Brazos County,
Prairie View A&M University, and
The University of Texas at Austin.
House Joint Resolution 19 also an
nually appropriates $100 million in
each fiscal year, beginning Septem
ber 1, 1985 (from the first money
coming into the state treasury that is
not otherwise appropriated by the
constitution) for the use of those
agencies and ^institutions of higher
education which are not included in'
The University of Texas or Texas
A&M University Systems and, there
fore, not eligible to participate in the
Permanent University Fund bond
ing program. The amount of this
appropriation could be adjusted
every five years by a % vote of
the Legislature, but could not be
adjusted in such a way as to affect
outstanding bonding indebtedness.
Each institution of higher educa
tion that is eligible to participate
(i.e., those institutions of higher
education outside The University of
Texas and Texas A&M University
Systems) would be authorized to
expend directly its share (such
share to be determined pursuant to
an equitable formula) of the $100
million appropriation for the pur
poses of acquiring land, construct
ing and equipping buildings or oth
er permanent improvements, major
repair and rehabilitation of other
permanent buildings or improve
ments, and acquisition of major
capital equipment (e-f?-, computers
and laboratory equipment) and
library books and materials. Addi
tionally, each institution would be
authorized to issue bonds backed by
a pledge of up to 50% of its share
of the $100 million annual appro
priation for the purpose of land
acquisition, new construction, and
major repair and rehabilitation
projects.
Except in the case of fire or
natural disaster and in other extra
ordinary cases, verified by a two-
thirds vote of each house of the
legislature, all institutions of high
er education would be precluded
from receiving appropriations of
general revenue funds for the pur
poses of land acquisition, new con
struction, and major repair and
rehabilitation projects.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment
to create from general revenue a
special higher education assis
tance fund for construction and
related activities, to restructure
the Permanent University Fund,
and to increase the number of
institutions eligible to benefit
from the Permanent University
Fund.”

ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 20 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
which abolishes the office of county
treasurer in Bexar and Collin coun
ties if a majority of the voters in
each of those counties vote in favor
of abolishing the office of county
treasurer in a local election to be
held on the issue. All the powers,
duties, and functions of the office
of county treasurer in each of these
counties would be transferred to
the county clerk.
The proposed constitutional
amendment will appear on the
ballot as follows: “The constitu
tional amendment to abolish the
office of county treasurer in
Bexar and Collin counties.”
PROPOSITION NO. 5
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 22 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
which provides a new method of
filling a vacancy in the office of
Lieutenant Governor. The amend
ment requires the President pro
tempore of the Senate to call to
gether the committee of the whole
Senate within 30 days after a
vacancy occurs in the office of Lieu
tenant Governor. The committee
would be required to elect one of
its members to perform the duties
of the Lieutenant. Governor until
the next general election. This in
dividual would continue his duties as
Senator at the same time that he
performs the Lieutenant Governor’s
duties. If the Senator who is elected
ceases to be a Senator before the
next general election, another Sena
tor must be elected according to the
above procedure to perform the Lieu
tenant Governor’s duties. The Presi
dent pro tempore would be re
quired to perform the Lieutenant
Governor’s duties pending the elec
tion of one of its members by the
committee of the whole Senate.
The proposed amendment will
appear on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment
authorizing the state senate to
fill a vacancy in the office of
lieutenant governor.”
PROPOSITION NO. 6
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 73 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
that permits the use of public funds
and credit for payment of premi
ums on non-assessable life, health,
or accident insurance policies and
annuity contracts issued by a mu
tual insurance company authorized
to do business in this state. The con
stitutional prohibition against a
grant of public money to an individ
ual, association, or corporation or
against becoming a stockholder in a
corporation, association, or com
pany has limited life and health
group policies of political subdivi
sions to non-mutual insurance com
panies. The amendment would per
mit mutual insurance companies to
bid for those policies.
House Joint Resolution 4 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
to change the membership of the
State Commission on Judicial Con
duct to include one Judge of a Mu
nicipal Court and one Judge of a
County Court at Law, who shall be
selected at large and appointed by
the Supreme Court with the advice
and consent of the Senate.
The amendment also provides
additional grounds for removal from
office of judges or justices of Texas
courts, and provides additional dis
ciplinary actions that could be taken
in lieu of removal or censure. The
amendment would extend the Com
mission’s disciplinary authority to
masters, magistrates, and retired
or former judges who hear cases
by designation. The amendment
creates a tribunal to review recom
mendations of the State Commission
on Judicial Conduct for removal or
retirement of a judge or justice. The
review tribunal would be composed
of seven (7) Justices or Judges of
the Courts of Appeals selected by lot
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. The amendment also provides
for appeal of the review tribunal’s
decision to the Supreme Court of
Texas and grants an accused judge
the right to discovery of evidence.
The proposition will appear on
the ballot as follows: The con
stitutional amendment relating to
the membership of the State
Commission on Judicial Conduct
and the authority and procedure
to discipline active judges, cer
tain retired and former judges,
and certain masters and magis
trates of the courts.”
PROPOSITION NO. 8
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 22 pro
poses a constitutional amendment
which increases the per diem of
members of the Legislature. The
amount of per diem allowed during
a calendar year would be equal to
the maximum amount set in federal
income tax statutes as of January
1 of that same year as a deduction
for ordinary and necessary business
expenses incurred by a state legisla
tor. Current per diem is $30; the
maximum deduction is now $75.
The proposed constitutional
amendment will appear on the
ballot as follows: “The constitu
tional amendment to provide a
per diem for members of the leg
islature equal to the maximum
daily amount allowed by federal
law as a deduction for ordinary
and necessary business expenses
incurred by a state legislator.”
