Gromm ready to try to force
vote on nominee forjudge
Associated Press
VASHI NC.TON — Sen. Phil
nun said I hm sday he is willing
C*» cfMlWlctlll tin-
ing the Senate to a standstill un
votes on his 32-year-old nomi-
to the federal bench, Dallas
e Sidney A. Fit/water,
feel strongly enough about this
[ am willing, if necessary, to stop
low of legislation in the United
s Senate to assure that Sid Htz-
gets a vote,” Gramm said.
I can’t force people to vote
lim, obviously, but I can, I be-
force the vote.”
le nomination came to the Sen-
loor on Tuesday, but a vote was
H>ned after lengthy debate so
enate could go on to other busi-
weighing whether he had die 60
votes necessary to halt debate and
force a vote on Friday, or whether
he would wait until next week, bring
up the nomination at the close of
business “and stay on it all night with
quorum calls and votes if that’s
what's necessary.”
amm
said 1 hursday he was
“I hope I don’t have to do that,”
he said.
Fitzwater has been criticized for
his participation in a 1982 pre-elec
tion incident in which signs warning
that violating election laws could re
sult in a prison sentence were posted
in Dallas minority precincts. Fitzwa
ter was at the time and is a state dis
trict judge.
The sign-posting resulted in a
lawsuit, later dismissed. Fitzwater
said he was told the signs were sanc
tioned by the sheriff and believed
they would he posted in all precincts.
It turned out the signs were a parti
san GOP ef fort.
Democratic senators opposed to
the nomination said the signs misre
presented Texas law and were de
signed purely to intimidate black
voters.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.,
said,“Fitzwater’s active participation
in a campaign to intimidate minority
voters is appalling. In light of this re
cord of hostility to voting rights,
Fitzwater’s nomination to be a fed
eral judge is shocking.”
Gramm said Thursday that he
had expected opposition to Fitzwa
ter “because Sid is so young and so
good.”
North Texas State guarantees teachers
DEN TON — North Texas State
University is offering its own version
of a teacher competency test: If
you’re not fully satisfied with its edu
cation school graduates, send them
back.
NTSU officials guaranteed school
districts across the state Thursday
that it will re-train any incompetent
teachers that graduate f rom NTSU
through a Quality Assurance Pro
gram si beduled to begin in May.
NISU spokeswoman Charlotte
Guest said if the teacher lacks in tea
ching or basic skills, N 1 SU will re
view the teacher and offer counsel
ing or professional services to the
teacher and the principal of the tea
cher’s school.
NTSU Chancellor Alfred Hurley
said, “If we did not have the utmost
confidence in our teacher education
program, which has the highest ad
mission standards in the state, we
could not offer this kind of assur
ance to school districts ”
School officials said all NTSU ed
ucation graduates receiving Texas
teacher certification, about 400 a
year, will be covered by the pro
gram, Guest said.
Texas teachers have just finished
the first round of competency test
ing mandated by education reforms
passed in the Legislature. State offi
cials predict about 5 percent of the
slate’s 200,000 teachers will fail the
March 10 lest and a second-chance
test in June.
