AUSTIN — Criticizing Gov. Mark
White’s refusal to ease the no pass,
no play rule, gubernatorial candi
date A. Don Crowder said Wednes
day he believes White’s failure to
participate in high school activities
may have made him “one of the first
nerds in Texas.”
Crowder, a Democrat, displayed a
copy of White’s high school year
book entry to a news conference and
said White’s lack of extracurricular
participation may account for the
governor’s problems with Texas tea
chers. — -
White campaign spokesman Mark
McKinnon said, “The governor was
very active during junior high and
high school and worked to support
his family since the seventh grade.
In addition to working after school,
he was quite active in a number of
school activities, including school
plays and church activities. “The
governor is 100 percent, four-square
behind education and behind teach
ers. He’s just trying to raise the stan
dards.”
Crowder displayed what he said
was a photocopy of White’s high
school yearbook entry from Lamar
High in Houston. It showed a photo
and White’s name but listed no ex
tracurricular activities for him.
Pushed by White as part of the
state’s school reform laws, the no
pass, no-play rule prohibits students
from all extracurricular activities for
six w eeks if they fail a class.
Crowder said the rule should be
eased to bar only students who don’t
make a 75 percent average of all
their course grades. Failing that, the
suspension period should be re
duced to one to three weeks, he said.
Crowder, former law partner of
Attorney General Jim Mattox, also
accused the governor of becoming
“vicious” with teachers who com
plained about White’s endorsement
of limited drug testing of public and
private workers, including teachers.
When leaders of some teacher or
ganizations complained, White said
those indivduals didn’t look closely
enough at his remarks to under
stand that he means testing only in
cases where drug use is suspected.
“After the drug testing contro
versy arose and the teachers com
plained about the language he used,
he said they weren’t literate, re
ferred to them as illiterates and said
they weren’t capable of interpreting
what he said,” Crowder charged.

But the government newspaper El
Nacional reported Wednesday that
de la Madrid has asked the National
Commission on Ecology to come up
with a list of ways to reduce the air
pollution. Once the president has
the agency’s suggestions in hand, he
will decide which steps are nec
essary.
The latest announcement ap
peared to indicate the government
was backing off, at least temporarily,
from the strong steps the Urban De
velopment Department ordered.
With 18 million residents, Mexico
City is the world’s largest metropol
itan area. It also generally is consid
ered to be the most polluted. Since
December city residents have suf
fered from increased levels of air
pollution, blamed on thermal inver
sions that have trapped, under layers
of cold air, pollutants from factories
and the area’s 2.2 million vehicles.
In addition to limiting traffic, the
program ordered the installation of
anti-pollution devices on city buses,
strict iponitoring of factory emis
sions and the probable transfer of 32
factories out of the city by 1987.
