signed seats on the east side of Kyle
Field, where it will play a selection of
Aggie favorites throughout the
game.
Letters already have been mailed
to individuals indentified as former
bandsmen on University records,
but since band membership is not al
ways indicated on those records, the
group is issuing invitations by word
of mouth.
Both bands will play before and
during the Tulsa game.
The association has issued an
open invitiation to all former mem
bers to join the reunion band. The
band will hold an optional practice at
the E.V. Adams Band Hall the eve

There will be a mandatory prac

The band will march to mid-field

Participants are urged to bring
their own instruments, as only a lim

tary of the band association and re

AUSTIN — The state Wednesday
launched two new programs to help
speed up child support collections,
with officials hoping the time for
processing payments can be cut
from two weeks to a matter of days.
Attorney General Jim Mattox said
one program will be directed at non
custodial parents living in Texas and
the second at those who live outside
the state.

TV cameras may be barred from meetings
Associated Press
AUSTIN — It seems likely that
some governmental bodies will ex
clude television news cameras from
their public sessions since the Texas
Open Meetings Act doesn’t guar
antee camera access, Attorney Gen
eral Jim Mattox said Wednesday.
“I think it is entirely possible that
video cameras will be barred from a
number of public meetings,” Mattox
said.
“In some rural counties, I think
we’re going to see cameras excluded
at times,” he said.
Mattox’s comments followed a le
gal opinion he issued Tuesday say
ing the open meetings law gives Tex
ans a right to make audio tape
recordings of public governmental
meetings but not video recordings.
interpret whatever the law says, he
insisted.
“It is an unfortunate thing I have
to interpret the law this way,” Mat
tox said. “I feel very strongly about
open meetings and open govern
ment. (But) we believe the law means
what it says.”
Several broadcasters already have
voiced fears that city councils,
county commissioners, school
boards and others might try to use
the opinion to force cameras out of
their meetings.
As an author of the open meet
ings law when he was a member of
the Legislature, Mattox said he
hopes government officials won’t see
his opinion as a tool for blocking
televised news coverage of their ses
sions.
“I was one of the authors of the
open meetings and open records
acts, and I feel very strongly about
the concept of allowing the public to
understand what takes place with!
these meetings,” Mattox said.
Mattox said he would supportef

include television cameras, possibh
having his staff draft a bill thi
would do it.
While the issue ultimately
be presented to the courts, ft
said, “Probably the best thing fonf
is to try to get this law changed hen
in the Legislature.”

Asked about that opinion at a
news conference Wednesday, Mat
tox said he was only interpreting the
law as it is written, not expressing his
personal feelings about the issue.
He compared the situation to his
negative feelings about a state law
requiring clergymen to tell authori
ties about people who commit child
abuse, even if they learn of it in con
fession. But his legal opinions must

have saved her baby’s life, but the
Texas Supreme Court ruled
Wednesday that the woman could
not recover damages from the
drug’s manufacturer.
Without writing an opinion, the
Supreme Court upheld lower court
rulings that companies have no re
sponsibility to people who do not use
tneir products.
“There must be a sale to someone
before a warranty is created,” the

The drug was not used because of
instructions that said it should not be
administered to people with a “con
dition” that Mrs. Church was diag
nosed as having, according to court
records.

erroneous.
