BE ALL YOU CAN BE Education Legislators, teacher groups call for Associated Press AUSTIN — A Senate education leader and the new president of a teacher organization agreed Tues day that the recent legislative session did nothing to help public education in Texas. A House member was joined by the presidents of two teacher organi zations in asking Gov. Mark White to add education issues to the agenda for the special session, which began Tuesday. “How can we be expected to meet the expectations of the public when current law allows students to come to school drunk, to curse a teacher, or to sell marijuana without fear of expulsion?” said Sue McGarvey, president of the Association of Texas Professional Educators. Garl Parker, chairman of the Sen ate Education Committee, guided a measure through the Senate in mid- April that he said served notice that education reform is “here to stay.” The bill, which made changes in the educational reform measure ap proved by the special session last summer, never got out of House committee, and. Parker was asked ii the Legislature had made any im provements in education. “None, not one," he replied. At the last minute, Parker even tried to amend three House bills, adding portions of the measure that had cleared the Senate but the bills were struck down in the House on a point of order. “As you know, paperwork fa an increasingly crushing burdet our school teichers,” s.ud Criss ter to the governor. It pre« them from concentrating on o most important function—edit ing our chijrren.” Vc 1.8C Parker, D-Port Arthur, said a member of his stall told him that one lobbyist “was over telling some one that one of these bills would lead to unionization of teachers — that is ludicrous, and either he is mali ciously telling an untruth or he can’t read.” John C<ie. presidenu Federatiol of 1 cachet* White to tt the EegiskU* the “pjerwork burdi Cole said was “the No. 1 minds (Vmost teachers.’’ McCwrvey urged Whit the lejrflative agenda ik perw<3t reduction but dent fscipline, tutoring reer idder for teachers. >fthel SI :e to exp t unit to and the sp McGarvey, a government teacher from Hallsville, said, “Teachers can’t wait two more years. We are more frustrated today than we were at the beginning of school.” Rep. Lloyd Criss, D-La Marque, asked Gov. White to include in the special session a bill that would re duce paperwork for teachers. Pjker said that to say current lil72 — “is perfect without chaiges needed is ridiculous, I soi? of the things in it aresillvi arrgoing to harm us, because peple are not going to betalkits uJ years about the goodthinf ducation reform — they are ea i be talking about the silly tw ^at are there.” Mexico to increasesecurity following stadium deaths ip AN man was of milita family s minded nications announc ■The I worth, 4 known c ami sun ne\ Jose age nt sc petted. pWhitvs said had nications years an municati Associated Press MEXICO CITY — More security guards will be used for crowd con trol at the soccer stadium where eight people died and at least 50 oth ers were injured in a stampede that was the worst such tragedy in the na tion’s history, an official says. Fructuoso Lopez, the ranking of ficial in the Coyoacan district of the city where the game was played, told the official news agency Notimex on Monday that the security guards would be “redoubled” at the ’68 Olympic Stadium to prevent a re peat of Sunday’s tragedy. The deaths occurred just before the start of the final match in the first division of the 1984-85 Mexican Soccer League between rivals Na tional Autonomous University of Mexico and America. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. The stadium was the principal site 1 of the 1968 Olympic Games and be one of the 12 sites of the 1JW World Cup soccer tournament, belongs to the National Autonon/or University of Mexico and is locate in the southern part of the sprawlig capital. Lopez said there were no plam° close the stadium in the wake ofA e deaths, and families of those kieci would receive compensation, al though authorities have not yt de termine who will make the payments or how much they would he. He said the stamped' w as prompted by the “overflow if pas sions and sports enthusiasm’ among people who tried to en/er the sta dium without tickets. M/xsr of those ^ ° break killed were between thi ages of ly championshi and 21. Local newspaper resorts said t! deaths were caused in large part the overselling of tickds, insul ticr 1 Military bases adjust to state drinking law Associated Press Eighteen-year-old Airman 11 1 Mark Kellman will become under-age Sat urday. And he doesn’t like it. By order of the Pentagon, military bases around the country must con form Saturday to the drinking age laws of the states where they are lo cated. And Kellman and thousands of other service men and women un der 21 will no longer be able to drink legally. “If Tm old enough to sign a paper saying I’m willing to die for my country, I think it’s ridiculous to say I can’t drink liquor,” said Kellman, of Tampa, Fla., who is based at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D. It’s a sentiment shared at his base and elsewhere. “I have been approached with, ‘Airmen can work on an $18 million jet and be responsible, but can’t drink?”’ said Capt. Glenn Guzze at Shaw Air Force Base at Sumter, S.C where the legal age for beer is and will rise to 21 next year. But orders are orders. With a few exceptions, the Defense Depart ment’s new policy will mean no more on-base drinks for many 18, 19 and 20-year-olds in uniform. Defense Secretary Caspar W Weinberger decided the military should honor drinking-age laws The order was issued" in March signed by Assistant Defense Secre tary Lawrence J. Korb, setting the June 1 effective date. Many military 20 more than 3.2 percent C a/ served regardless of age.
