The film, titled “Whose Life Is It Anyway?,” was recently shown to seventh-graders at Vidor Junior High School. The school board last month pro posed the policy, which allows a principal to select supplemental materials that are considered suita ble, relevant and educational to stu dents. The board must review the proposal before it is approved. But Virginia Payne, a member of a group called Citizens for Excel lence in Education, said she com plained because the film contains frontal nudity. The movie violates an obscenity ordinance in the city about five miles northeast of Beaumont, Payne said. The ordinance forbids the sale and display of any “material or per formance that the average person, applying contemporary commiiii| standards, would find that, taket ; a whole, appeals to the prurien!; terest in sex.” The statute also forbids show; pornography to children under; age of 17. Violation of the ordinances! Class C misdemeanor punishable a maximum $200 fine.

Hobby: Drop in oil prices could hurt budgei Associated Press AUSTIN — Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby says he has a “gut feeling’ there would be a “serious problem” with the state’s spending budget if oil g rices should drop more than $2 a arrel. Hobby was the main speaker Wednesday for the general session of the Texas Good Roads-Transpor- tation Association. During a question-answer session ' ed he was asked how much it would take to unbalance the $36.8 billion budget and possibly cause a special session to find more money for state government operations. “We are very close,” Hobby re plied. “I think we could stand a $2 hit on oil but any more than a $2 hit and we would have a serious prob lem.” Hobby told reporters later his statement was “a guess, a gut feel ing.” “You could count on a : crease in oil prices meaning ill million in revenue,” Hobby said He said the oil price de would have to be general and I III lasting, not just a fluctuation in: spot market, to affect Texas dn cally.
