He was ■sureif A&M could allow funding for such an organization, rColleen Jennings Batchelor, Texas A&M senior staff attorney, ■d Koldus in a Nov. 12 memoran- Im that the University would have to fulfill three criteria required by K United States Supreme Court if .jj. I theological committee was to be lond;|°S nil£ed - • It must not involve excessive en tanglement between church and state. •It must neither advance nor in hibit religion. • It must have a secular purpose. Batchelor also said that such an organization could pose some legal problems to the University: “To the extent we can encourage these various groups to remain in their status as student organizations, we will be in a much better position both legally and administratively to rebuff any attacks by individuals representing different schools of thought,” Batchelor said. The supporters of the proposed committee say the group’s purpose is not to hinder or facilitate any partic ular theological view but to enrich all individuals knowledge and aware ness of different theological views and organizations at the University. /hich * >reparu hange-| free movie passes boost school funds accursi >mer$i Associated Press ■ HOUSTON — Houston school rs wiUkBficials for one month last year of- fe ed free movie tickets to students KofJth perfect attendance.

We’re not playing a game.” HISD Superintendent Billy Rea gan was surprised by the criticism. But he said he makes no excuses for offering rewards to get students to attend classes. “The day is probably past when negative incentives are going to have the kind of results that perhaps they had 30 or 40 years ago, when disci pline was a very fundamental func tion of the home and was carried out by the home,” Reagan said. According to attendance figures released last week, about 150,000 district students, or more than 75 percent, qualified for free movie passes, which cost the district about $400,000. The offer was part of a program begun in 1979. V' w* MINUS’)*' ~"' c • o ,« 4 CALI TODAY „„ F °R A FREE N ® P B t | G AT| 0N CONSUITatiqn Anniversary Sale Pfasent this couoon ai «h. ..
