Bu ir taken lege at A Williams list for tf Veterinary Vows for education By JAMES WALKER Staff Writer By Endorsements continue to roll in for Democrat Dan Kubiak, candi date for the 6th Congressional seat. Last week Hugh Palmer, a chal lenger in the primary race, pledged his support for the 14-year veteran of the Texas legislature. At a Tuesday morning press con ference in College Station, Texas A&M Regent Clyde Wells endorsed Kubiak. Texas State Teacher’s Asso ciation President Becky Brooks also announced her organization’s sup port for Kubiak. “We feel that Mr. Kubiak has been an exemplary model of what can be done for public education in our state House of Representatives, and we would very much like to see him in Congress,” Brooks said. Asked what teachers will expect it Kubiak is elected, she said Kubiak supports the proposed American Defense Education bill that would invite individual school districts to submit applications for project fund ing to improve instruction in math and sciences. Clyde Wells said he respects Ku biak. “I think that he is conservative,” Wells said. “1 have worked with him through the years. We have found him to be tough with those commit tees we had to work with.” Kubiak said his parents never graduated from high school, but he and his two brothers have doctoral degrees. Calling the educational provisioul of the Grace Commission repon; “dis-Grace,” Kubiak said itwilloi off opportunities for studemstorcl ceive higher education. “I have personally seen what edu cation does do,” Kubiak said. “Wi thout a good solid education system, this country would not be as great as it is now." Kubiak made a contrast l>etween his support of education and his challenger Joe Barton’s “embrace" of the Grace Commission. “Any measure we pass, whether: Austin or Washington, we sM send dollars to pay for them,Ti biak said. “And 1 would like tost model schools set up so thaittai ideas that work can oepassedom dent of each of the 1,100-pl js school di peak tot tricts in Texas as well as the diswc ite meet in the other 49 states." rulkimi iociatioi Imbers a I have tl rything Texas :n its do The crec eight fc "In the student loan progranuke want to double administrativecoffi, Kubiak said, "going from 5 perai to 10 percent of whatever you it ceive."

Speaking in Rudder Tower to stu dents and reporters, Barton labeled challenger Dan Kubiak as a “conve nient conservative” while calling himself a “committed conservative.” Barton said Kubiak voted for the josed Equal Rights Amendment the state legislature, supported it in the primary, but recently indi cated opposition to the amendment on a questionaire from a citizens group in Montgomery County. Pointing out discrepancies be tween Kuoiak’s voting record and campaign platform, Barton said, “When he had a chance to vote on taxes in the state legislature he voted for a tax increase.” Barton presented voting records showing Kubiak’s opposition to a freeze on property tax and a reduc tion of that tax in 1977. In addition, he cited an instance in which his op ponent voted not to table a cor porate profits tax proposal. Currently, Texas has a right-to- work law but for now it has not been incorporated into the constitution. “He voted against allowing the people of the state to determine whether they wanted the right-to- work hill to be in the state constitu tion,” Barton said. Barton added that Kubiak voted for collective bargaining for firemen and policemen in 1973, and for a bill requiring non-union employees to pay the equivalent of union dues if a union was present where they worked. On spending, Barton showed that his opponent voted for a bill in 1974 to raise legislators salaries and let them set their own expense allow ances. Regarding education. Barton said, “I am as concerned about good, basic public education as he is.” He added that Kubiak voted against a bill requiring high school students to pass a minimum basic skills test before graduation, for mandatory bilingual education up to sixth grade and for a bill allowing il legal immigrants in the public school system. “Let’s make them learn English, and go to school in English," Bati: said.

In response to Kubiak’s assert Tuesday morning that the Gr« Commission report was a “i ce,” Barton rebutted, “NobotW hied that their findings are mce rate as to the amount of moneytk can be saved if the recommend* are implemented.” Concerning the report's advice reduce student loans, Barton at “Those students who need should receive it, but weneedtok sure that they are eligible andpii hack at a fair rate of interest andii timely fashion.” Asked if he had any original ids Barton responded, “I guess« original idea I have come up wii that ... if I tell you I am going to id for something I’ll vote for it.” Trial begins for mother who hid son from 'avowed homosexual 7 fathen wbic Dane ' r »bic Dane P Aerobic , blc C X er Aerobic E xe r Aerobic Fi tr Aerobics f 0 r pobics for United Press International SAN DIEGO — The contempt trial of Betty Lou Batey opened Tuesday, raising the curtain on a custody battle between the funda mentalist Christian woman and the homosexual father of her 13-year- old son. Batey, 39, faced 468 counts of contempt, one for each day that she kept her son, Brian Batey, away from his father, the legal custodian. The father, Frank Batey, 39, of Palm Springs, Calif., is an avowed homo sexual. If convicted on all counts, Mrs. Batey could receive a sentence of more than 2,000 days in jail. Custody, which originally went to the mother when the coupled di vorced, was switched to the father by a San Diego court in 1982 on grounds the mother was denying the father his visitation privileges. Dur ing a weekend visit in 1982, Betty Lou Batey took off with Brian. She surrendered in Denver in April 1984 and voluntarily returned to San Diego to face the contempt counts plus a felony child-stealing charge and to wage the custody fight for Brian. The court placed the boy in a San Diego County foster home, pending outcome of the custody dispute. Superior Court Judge Judith Mc Connell has ruled that any court ap pearances by Brian will be closed to the public and media on grounds that media exposure he has received so far, including an interview on na tional television, has not been in his best interest. Mrs. Batey has said she and Brian spent most of their time on the run with members of her Pentecostal church in Houston.
