Mark White said Thursday he is “outraged” at the lack of leadership from some state school officials iu implement ing the Texas Legislature’s educa tion reform plan. “I’m outraged with people who are sitting there reading clear En glish declarative sentences and can not understand what they mean,” he said. “Maybe it is a reflection of their quality.” Although he did not identify any school officials. White clearly re ferred to state education Commis sioner Raymond Bynum. Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby cautioned the members of the new state school board Wednesday that some school administrators, including Bynum, were out to sabotage education re forms approved by the Legislature last summer. Bynum, who plans to retire at year’s end, has denied he tried to kill the reforms. But he has warned the new measures will create a teacher shortage. “That is pure surmise,” White said of Bynum’s prediction. “That is a guess, a shot in the dark, and is not based on fact.” White said he expected a combi nation of higher teacher salaries and improved discipline in the schools to attract an adequate number of new teachers. “If it (reforms) produces a teacher shortage because of the elimination of incompetent teachers, then so be it,” he said “What they don’t say is the positive side of it. I hope this (new school) board will hire people who understand that.” White said Texans are tired of “this dragging of feet, this backpe- daling. “What we re looking for is lead ership, a positive note, to set aside the uncertainty in the education pro fession,” he said. “Can you imagine a coach stand ing up in front of his team and say ing, ‘You know boys we may not win this game today. We may have to flunk’He goes in there and says, ‘We’re going to win.’ “I want that same academic excel lence, going in there and telling them in that classroom, ‘Son, you’re going to pass. We’re going to see that you pass. We’re going to win’. That’s the kind of attitude you have to have in the academic side of this thing.” On another subject, White ac cused the Reagan administration of playing politics with the selection of a site for a high level nuclear waste disposal facility in the Texas Pan handle. White said Energy Secretary Don ald Hodel has implied that if Repub lican Congressman Phil Gramm is elected to the Senate that the facility will not be located in Texas. Meanwhile, White said his admin istration is considering the possibility of transferring some troublemakers within the state penal system to pris ons outside Texas. White said Texas may enter a compact with other states to ex change troublesome convicts in an an attempt to break up violent prison gangs. Malakoff PUC may give power plant plans axe; legislators upset United Press International AUSTIN — Two Texas legis lators Thursday challenged a Public Utility Commission examiner’s rec ommendation that could prompt the scrapping of a proposed Houston Lighting 8c Power Co. generating plant in Henderson County. “We are stunned and angry that this examiner has ruled the word of Texas means nothing,” said Sen. Chet Edwards, D-Duncanville. PUC hearing examiner Ramon Dasch recommended Sept. 24 that the three-member utility regulatory commission revoke a permit for the $1.9 billion Malakoff plant because of the availability to HL&P of cheaper cogenerated power. The PUC permit for the plant, about 50 miles west of Tyler, was originally issued in 1982, but the commission staff decided five months ago to investigate the cost- effectiveness of the proposed plant. Edwards and Rep. Tom Waldrop, D-Corsicana, who represent resi dents in the Malakoff community, said HL&P had already spent “well over $100 million” in developing plans for the two 600-megawatt lig nite-fired plants. The two law-makers, who said they would formally intervene in the case before the PUC, claimed a cancellation of the plant would have a devastating economic impact on the area. “To make sure the plant could be finished on time and hundreds of new employees would have needed services, a new medical clinic and shopping center have been planned and condominiums and apartments have been started,” said Edwards. “All this based on citizens’ good faith in the permit granted by the PUC. Edwards said the PUC examiner’s ruling that the Malakoff certificate could be revoked by the commission without legislative authority “is un precedented in Texas history.” Although HL&P has recently signed a contract to buy excess elec tricity from Diamond Shamrock Co., Dow Chemical Co. has accused the utility of balking at wrapping up ne gotiations on a long-term contract to buy power generated by a Dow plant. Dow has asked the PUC to force HL&P to sign a 15-year contract to buy 600 megawatts of power that Dow generates as a by-product of its operations in Freeport. Texan has dream of artists’ mecca United Press International CROSBYTON — A Crosbyton native has a dream to turn his home town into a mecca for artists that might one day rival the famed Taos, N.M., community. Joe Taylor, 40, said he has re ceived good community response to his proposal to start an art school for 10 to 15 students with plans to ex pand slowly. “Too many colleges and universi ties today tell their students, ‘You’re an artist, do something.’ and then leave them alone. That’s crazy; it frustrates the student,” said Taylor, former owner of Album Art, a Hol lywood graphic art company. He spent 15 years in Hollywood before, returning to North Texas in February. “Art is like anything else; it takes hard work and training,” Taylor said, adding that many art schools characteristically provide environ ments distracting to learning. He said his proposed “New Art School” would capitalize on the calming effects the town of Crosby ton could provide for the serious art student. Nestled in the caprocks of Crosby County, the agricultural community has about 2,200 people. “I think it will work here in Cros byton because it’s far enough away from a regular city that the students won’t be distracted from their work,” Taylor said. “At the same time, it’s close enough to Lubbock that the students can go in for the nightlife and to get supplies. “This is the center for the South west area, the ranch scene, the classic conflict scenario of the cowboys ana Indians. It’s an ideal location to pur sue the western genre, and it’s the crossroads between Dallas and Lub bock.” But he said the school would cater to more students than those looking for a career in contemporary west ern art. “We’re going to gear our school toward the multi-talented student,” he said. “We’re hoping to have a school that will cater to each of the artists’ individual interests, even to a oint where we hope weil be able to elp them discover their specialties.” Taylor said he picked Crosbyton because it was his hometown. “The first time I announced my intentions, the local art association response was immediate and whole hearted,” he said. “They could see that the town needs more than just the agricultural community — they need a tourist attraction, too. “The only question that’s been raised is what set of people will come to the art school — will they be weir dos or nuts?” Taylor said. “That’s really a misconception though. We’re going to have an atmosphere of hard work.” Taylor now is searching for finan cial backing. “The local banks have shown in terest, but they’re waiting to see if we’ll get outside support,” Taylor said, adding he would like to create a school costing $6,000 to $9,000 an nually to attend. “This could be comparable to the Taos art community,” he said. “Once a good school is established here, we could eventually draw the best peo ple of the Southwest to this area.” TUB NAVAIM SHIN offers NEW & CONSIGNED CLOTHING Unite , . ■WASHII -also decorative items & accessories- proved a or Thursday “Let us sell to you or for you.'
