back state
water plan
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The State Demo
cratic Executive Committee has
voted to back two proposed constitu
tional amendments needed to enact
a $1.4 billion water plan approved
this year by the Texas Legislature.
In a unanimous vote with no dis
cussion, the committee Saturday
backed the amendments, which face
voter review on the Nov. 5 general
election ballot.
Ed Cogburn, resolutions commit
tee chairman, said the plan is “fis
cally sound and sensitive to the re
gional needs of the state.”
Also Saturday, longtime state Sen.
Oscar Mauzy of Dallas said he will
give up his seat next year to run for
the Texas Supreme Court.
“The Supreme Court has a direct
impact on the lives of every citizen of
the state and I want to be a part of
it,” said Mauzy, a senator since 1967.

Mauzy is seeking the Supreme
Court seat now held
now held by Democrat
Sears McGee. He said he will run re
gardless of McGee’s plans.
Contacted at his Austin home Sat
urday, McGee said he “definitely”
plans to seek re-election.
During his years in the Senate,
Mauzy has fought laws he felt could
be intrusions on personal freedom,
such as wiretapping.
“The Supreme Court is the last re
pository to protect the rights of the
people of this state,” said Mauzy.
The committee also heard from
other candidates for statewide of
fice, including Houston State Dis
trict Judge Hugo Touchy, who also
wants McGee’s Supreme Court seat,
incumbent Supreme Court Justice
Raul Gonzalez and Victoria Sen.

COLLEGE STAT ION — Three
years ago, Texas A&M was belea
guered by constant turnover of its
administrators, political battling
among regents and government
pressure to recruit more blacks.
That’s when the University hired
prominent scholar and engineer Ar
thur Hansen, who school officials
say is “just about the best thing” that
has happened to Texas A&M.
But Hansen, 60, announced last
week he will retire in 1986.
“He’s brought a businesslike ap
proach to the system,” said David El
ler, a Houston businessman and
chairman of the Texas A&M Board
of Regents. “And that’s what you
need nowadays. You can’t run it like
you did in 1975, 1970 or 1960.”
Hansen was chosen from among
400 candidates to succeed then-
chancellor Frank Hubert, who re
tired in July 1982.
“He’s just about the best thing the
Texas A&M University System has
had in a long time,” Eller said.
Hansen previously was president
at Purdue University for 11 years
Dr. Arthur G. Hansen
and held the same office at Georgia
Tech for three years. He also served
on four corporate boards, including
International Paper and Interna
tional Hospital.
Hansen said he took A&M up on
its chancellor offer because he wel
comed the challenge.
“There was a tremendous poten
tial for the system to move upward,
provided it could be redirected
wisely,” Hansen said. “The chan
cellor could lay out a future for the
A&M system that was exciting.”

MADD official fired because of testimony
Associated Press
HOUSTON — An official with
Mothers Against Drunk Driving was
fired because she testified that a
woman convicted of causing a fatal
traffic accident should remain on
probation instead of going to prison,
MADD officials said.
Anita Hunt, MADD’s state direc
tor of victim services, testified last
week on behalfof Caryl Pagenkopf.
Pagenkopf, ,27, previously was
convicted of involuntary manslaugh
ter in the death of Hunt’s stepfather,
Robert Daigle, who died in a No
vember 1982 traffic accident.
Investigators said a blood alcohol
test showed Pagenkopf was intoxi
cated when she drove head-on into
Daigle’s car. She was sentenced to 10
years probation and ordered to pay
Daigle’s family $21,600 in restitu
tion.
