(Dr. johnj. Kokins, vice president
of student services, asked a Texas
aJcM attorney if' recognition of a
theology committee could cause
Boblems for the University. 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.

Bcentive,” said Forest Henry, prin-

1,000 !i|cent. “Itjust seemed to be something
Sevan of that spurred them to come.”
I Officials of the Houston Indepen-

unorthodox plan was an attempt to
increase state funding, whicn is
based largely on daily student atten

bribery and questioned whether stu
dents really learn anything.
“This places the wrong emphasis
on education,” said Texas City Su
perintendent Paul Manning..“1 don’t
intend to offer any incentives other
than getting a good education.
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.
