Papers are to be submitted to the Pi Showdown set for pass, play reform Associated Press AUSTIN — The Senate Educa tion Committee, which wants to “fine tune” last summer’s school re form bill, erupted into controversy Wednesday when it tried to discuss a no pass, no play compromise. No votes were taken, but Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur, committee chairman, scheduled a showdown hearing on the eligibility rule for ex tracurricular activities and other school matters for Monday. The argument began when the committee was offered a subcommit tee report recommending a bill by Sen. Bill Sarpalius, D-Canyon, to re vise the no pass, no play eligibility rule approved by the State Board of Education. Currently a student is disqualified from playing or practicing athletics or other extracurricular activities for at least six weeks if he fails to make a grade of at least 70 in any course. Sarpalius’ bill, approved by the subcommittee Tuesday, would re quire students only to maintain pass ing grades in the 21 courses required for graduation, not electives. The re quired courses include English, mathematics, science, social studies and history. “We say as long as you pass re quired courses you are eligible to take part in extracurricular activ ities,” Sarpalius said. “If you fail one you can’t play again until you make up the grade.” Kent Capertorr, D-College Sta tion, said, “Actually, what you are doing is saying a student taking three required courses and three electives, can fail three of his Sen. Chet Edwards, D-Duncan- ville, said, “You are setting lower standards than you should. You could flunk 23 courses at six-week intervals and still participate in ath letics. That sends out a terrible mes sage to students of this state.” Sarpalius argued, “My bill vides an incentive to make up grades.” P 1 th ro- eir Caperton said, “I think the State of Education needs greater flexibility in setting the grading peri od.” ap Board Forces play war games arid pull art, $I!5W ■°| '().

ON THE iversity Drive. 9i Associated Press FORT BLISS — A war broke out at this Army post Wednesday. The U.S. military was battling itself. The conflict — simulated “force- to-force” combat — was part of a $30 million war games operation dubbed Border Star ’85. The operation is de signed to test the preparedness of the nation’s military and to teach coordination between different mili tary branches. More than 15,000 Army, Air Force and Marine units, as well as a Canadian Forces Airborne battalion, are participating in the five-day field maneuvers, which are described by military officials as fundamental to a strong U.S. defense. Gen. Wallace H. Nutting, com mander of the operations, said be cause it is unlikely any future war would involve just one branch of the military, joint preparedness is, “fun damental to the operation of our sys tem.” ' Nutting, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Readiness Command and director of the Joint Deployment Agency, said the mock war at Fort Bliss and at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, would allow troops to, “improve individual and collective skills.” Almost 200 aircraft, 3,000 mili tary vehicles and 15,000 additional support personel were brought to Fort Bliss for the exercises. The lightly armed, highly mobile 9th Infantry Division was designated the “friendly” force for Border Star and was pitted against the somewhat slower, but heavily armed 3rd Ar mored Cavalry Regiment of Fort Bliss and the Canadian force. Nutting said Fort Bliss and White Sands were selected for the war games because the type of terrain was right. “It’s important in this operation to see what the terrain limits are for the fast-attack vehicle in a desert envi ronment,” Nutting said. “We hope that we will be able to exploit open areas, open terrain ... be able to move through hilly areas and get be hind the enemy.” While at Fort Bliss, most of the 31,000 participating troops have been housed in tents. The simulated battles take place in a 22-by-30-mile restricted area. The victor, all participants agreed, will be the U.S. military.
