AUSTIN — The chairman of the
Mexican American Democrats of
Texas recommended Wednesday
that certain colleges be closed and
others merged as part of higher edu
cation reform in the state.
Ruben Bonilla Jr., of Corpus
Christi, said his recommendations
reflect the “sentiment held by Mexi
can American Democrats that our
state must begin the rigorous task of
J educating all its citizens if we are to
continue to be among the nation’s
economic leaders.
“To do otherwise — to neglect
again our Hispanic population is to
promote mediocrity and to lend cre
dence to the perception that Hispan-
ics are our ‘forgotten Texans,’ 5 ’ he
said.
Bonilla’s recommendations were
made in a letter to Larry Temple of
Austin, chairman of the new Select
Committee on Higher Education.
Bonilla said he would ask MAD’s
executive committee to support the
recommendations when it meets in
Corpus Christi on Oct. 12. MAD has
approximately 10,000 members, Bo
nilla said.
“I don’t think there will be much
disagreement,” he said.
His recommendations include:
• Closing colleges “with ex
tremely low enrollment,” such as the
Texas A&M University at Galveston
or the University of Texas at Per
mian Basin in Odessa.
“On the other hand," Bonilla said,
if UT-Permian Basin “were to re
cruit actively the large number of
Hispanic students to be found in
areas of West Texas, its enrollment
would increase dramatically.”
• Combining or merging colleges
“within the same city providing same
or similar services, such as North
Texas State University and Texas
Woman’s University” in Denton.
• Possibly closing or merging
small colleges “within a very neat i
geographical range of one anotfe
such as the Collin County Campus
and the Richland Campus of Dallas
County Community College.”
• A short-term moratorium on
opening any new colleges in Texas.
• Creating regional universin
systems.
• Developing a strategy lor at
trading minority students to colleges
and stopping tne “brain drain" o[
top Hispanic students to out-of-staie
schools.
• Developing programs to hali
the high dropout rate of minom
students.
• Channeling more funds forre-
search and development to colleges
in South Texas.
• Obtaining more private monei
for student grants and scholarships

HOUSTON — A federal bankruptcy judge on
Wednesday rejected allegations that striking Continen
tal Airlines pilots and flight attendants were wrongfully
discharged, and dismissed $1.4 billion in claims against
the carrier.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge R. Glover Roberts granted
Continental’s motion for summary judgment on claims
by the Air Line Pilots Association and the Union of
Flight Attendants.
“This court rejects any suggestion that a strike may
be equated with a constructive discharge,” Roberts said
in his decision.
“The fact that the pilots and flight attendants . . .
were not discharged and did not resign hut rather went
on strike in and of itself precludes a finding of wrong
ful discharge,” he said.
More than $2 billion in claims against the Houston-
based carrier have been rejected by the bankruptcy
court within the last month.
Officials of the two unions were not immediately
available for comment.
ALPA calculated its wrongful discharge claims at
$1.3 billion, adding the value of wages and benefits that
the 924 striking pilots would have received if they had
worked until retirement. Continental said in a release.
Claims for each striking pilot was about $1.4 million.
Continental said.
Claims by the flight attendants’ union averaged
woout $100,000 for each of the 1,100 striking flighu !
tendants, based on expected future compensation and I
value of intangible rights, the release said.
Members of ALPA walked out at Continental onOa
1, 1983, one week after the airline, then the eighthlarg j
est in the nation, sought protection f rom its creditor;
under Chapter 1 1 of the federal bankruptcy lav
slashed wages up to 50 percent and scaled downitsof j
erations.
Continental continued to operate with strikebreal-
ers.
And ALPA last month temporarily suspended pkl
eting in the walkout but insisted the strike wasofficialh |
continuing. The union also authorized striking pilots!!!
bid for their old positions at Continental.
The carrier has posted vacancies for almost 400poa- i
tions that could become avai table next year, and mort
than 500 striking pilots have submitted requests to it-i
turn to work, the airline said.
But Continental sued ALPA in Houston federal
court, accusing the union of trying to disrupt digit
schedules by encouraging striking pilots to apply for
jobs they do not intend to accept.
The union is suing Continental, saving that ALPPA
continues as the Continental pilots’ bargaining api
and that the company is violating the federal Raihn)
Labor Act by attempting to withdraw recognition of tk
pilots* union.
Death row inmate says stay only temporaiy
Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE,— Convicted
killer John Michael Lamb said
Wednesday he was not surprised
that he won a court order blocking
his scheduled death early next week
but expects he will get another exe
cution date soon.
“It’s obviously a very temporary
stay,” said Lamb, who faced death
early Monday for the November
1982 shooting death of a Virginia
businessman, Jerry Chafin, in a
Greenville motel room.
“I expect I’ll have another date in
a couple of months. I can’t see a dis
trict judge is going to rule in my fa
vor,” he said.
The Texas Court of Criminal Ap
peals postponed the execution be
cause Lamb’s attorneys have not
:o get in to
judge, E. Ps
sentencing judge, E. Paul Banner of
Greenville.
Banner is out of town and was not
expected to return until the day of
the execution — too late to rule on a
motion filed on behalf of Lamb,
according to attorney Carolyn Gar
cia of Houston.
The appeals court said the execu
tion could not go ahead until the
matter was resolved. Lamb’s attor
neys are complaining that he had in
effective counsel during his trial.
“I should have brought Perry Ma
son out of retirement to try my
case,” he joked.
Lamb said he was not aware of the
stay until he was told of it by fellow
inmates and reporters during regu
larly scheduled press interviews on
Wednesday.
“I knew I was going to get one,'
he said.
Lamb insisted he was not afraid 10
die.
“But when the moment comes HI
be shaking like a chicken,” he said
“After all. I’m human.”
Lamb’s stay left Anthony Charte
Williams as the only inmate amons
the 210 on Death Row in Texas™
an execution date.
Williams, convicted of sexual
sault and capital murder in the blud
geoning death of a 13-year-old
Houston girl, is slated to die Oct. II
He has refused all recent request
for interviews.
Six prisoners have been executed
in T exas so far this year.
