The King’s Singers, a six-man-
group from Cambridge, England
will perform a variety of selec
tions from Renaissance madrigals
to contemporary pieces during a
concert here tonight.
The five-section program — all
without musical accompaniment
— consists of “A Madrigal Mys
tery Tour,” “Italian Piece,” a Vic
torian collection, arrangements in
close harmony and three reli
gious pieces.
The King’s Singers took their
name from King’s College in
Cambridge, England. They be
gan as a group in 1968, and since
have given close to 2,000 con
certs.
The groups repertoire in
cludes Renaissance music, madri
gals, folk songs and popular mu
sic, all done in various languages.
Newsweek magazine, com
menting on the group said,
“Their artistry remains aston
ishing. They are not so much six
singers as a single instrument.”
Albums and tapes of the group
will be on sale before the concert
at 8 p.m. in Rudder Auditorium
and after the concert. An auto
graph session will also be held.
Committee approves seat belt bill
Texans may have to buckle up
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A Senate committee
voted Monday to make Texans in
the front seat wear their seat belts
and refrain from drinking alcoholic
beverages while driving.
The Senate State Affairs Commit
tee passed 11-1 a bill sponsored by
Democratic Sen. Bill Sarpalius, D-
Canyon. The bill would allow a $200
fine for drinking while driving. A
similar “open container” law failed
in the 1983 Legislature.
Under Sarpalius’ bill, drivers can
not have alcoholic beverages in their
possession. It does not apply to pas
sengers. In the original bill, open
ope
containers were prohibited if they
were in the driver’s reach.
“The main objective is to stop
drinking and driving,” Sarpalius
said. “It is very important that we
emphasize whether it’s being con
sumed or had it in their possession.”
Legislation requiring drivers and
front seat passengers to wear seat
belts gained committee approval on
an 8-5 vote.
The state affairs committee vote
on the seat belt bill came after seve
ral senators said they don’t appre
ciate the federal government dictat
ing state law.
The U.S. Department of Trans
portation has said it would make air
bags mandatory if states that include
two-thirds of the nation’s population
don’t make seat belt use mandatory.
“When we ban drinking while
driving we’re saying innocent people
should not be jeoparidized by those
wanting to drive while intoxicated,”
Sen. Chet Edwards, D-Duncanville,
said. “When we vote to force an indi
vidual to wear a seat belt, we’re say
ing the government should tell
someone to protect his or herself.”
He said the same logic used to
back the bill would lead to laws ban
ning cigarette smoking and hand
guns.
If enacted, violators of the seat
belt law could be fined $25 to $50.
Lyon said the talk of federal gov
ernment pressure to pass his bill is
moot because the measure does not
meet the transportation depart
ment’s guidelines.

Stenholm said he believes that
government support of agriculture
can’t be eliminated nearly as fast as
the Reagan administration has pro-

Stenholm advocated a conserva
tion plan where the government
would pay farmers to take “highly
erodible” land out of production.
“We would pay farmers not to pro
duce,” he said.
A conservation reserve would be
set up so that, each year, “we could
determine how much we need to re

Stenholm also said the U.S. needs

AUSTIN — The Senate con
firmed the appointment of a Texas
A&M professor and director of the
College of Medicine, John M. Pre
scott, to the State Board of Educa
tion Monday.
Prescott is one of 14 members
confirmed to the board with a 28-0
Senate vote. Only one nominee was
not confirmed although one senator
said he had a “great feeling of reluc
tance” about the new board.
Sen. Chet Brooks, D-Pasadena,
said in board members’ responses to
senators’ questions “there seemed to
be no real expression ... of, ‘Hey, I
want to do what’s best for the kids,
and I want the education system to
work.’ ”

Education approved a no-pass, no
play rule which knocked thousands
of students who had made “Fs” out
of extracurricular activities for six
weeks. The Senate had directed the
board to reduce the penalty to a
week.
Sen. Carl Parker, chairman of the
Senate Education Committee, said
he had had a “good visit” with board
chairman Jon Brumley, Fort Worth,
and added, “I think there was a lot
read into our resolution the other
day by people who would like for us
to get into a big cat fight over many
things.”
Parker said the main reason he
had introduced the resolution “was
to offer a way to lessen the impact on
hard-working kids without backing
away at all from the thrust of what
we wanted to accomplish-
Parker also wants to make a
statement to the public that academ
ics in public education come first.
The senator described as “silly
and non-sensical” administrative in
terpretations that the new education
reform bill would, for example, pro
hibit a student from attending an
awards banquet or the senior prom.
The only board nominee who was
not confirmed Monday was Volly
Bastine, Houston, who still must ap
pear before the Senate Nominations
Committee.
The board members confirmed
include Mary Berlanga, Nueces

Symposiums this week to feature candidates
maintaining trade,” Stenholm sar
By CHERYL CLARK
Reporter
Lambda Sigma, the sophomore
honor society, will sponsor two Sul-
ly’s Symposiums this week, one fea
turing yell leader candidates and an
other featuring student body
president candidates.
Yell leader candidates will speak
today at 12:15 p.m. and the candi
dates for student body president will
speak Wednesday at noon.
Cindy Gay, president of Lambda
Sigma, said the purpose of featuring
the candidates is to increase voter
turnout.
Gay said before the elections, the
candidates usually speak to groups
such as dorms, sororities and frater
nities. The symposium will provide a
way for more students to learn about
the candidates.
The Election Commission from
Student Government is helping
Lambda Sigma coordinate the candi
dates speeches.
Jim Cleary of Lambda Sigma will
be the emcee for both symposiums,
Gay said. During the symposium on
Wednesday, Cleary will ask each
candidate three questions.
All 13 candidates for yell leader
have been invited to speak today and
all six candidates for student body
president have been invited to parti
cipate Wednesday.
The candidates for student body
president are Bob Stephan, a senior
mechanical engineering major and
juniors Brett Shine, a political sci
ence major; Sean Royall, an econom
ics major; Madelon Yanta, a finance
major; Jeff Danzihger, a political sci
ence major; and Mike Cook, an eco
nomics major.
Amy Lovett, who is coordinating
the event from Lambda Sigma, said
the organization has always spon
sored a forum for the candidates,
but this year, the group decided to
include it with Sully’s Symposium to
reach a larger audience.
