Blacks consider Warped
by Scott McCulla
boycott after
school names
white coaches
Associated Press
BEAUMONT — Blacks upset
with the school district’s decision to
name two whites as head football
coaches say they’re considering a
boycott of district sports programs
by black athletes.
About 50 people attended a
closed session Wednesday night con
cerning the Beaumont Independent
School District’s selection of two
white coaches. The group, which in
cludes ministers, lawyers and a for
mer school board member, has
planned a series of meetings to dis
cuss the issue.
One option the group says it will
consider is the boycott of sports pro
grams by black athletes to protest the
coaching selections.
A statement issued by the group
said, “It has been felt all along that
this administration has not shown
any noticeable tendency to hire or
(promote) blacks into any key posi
tions,”
Superintendent Mike Taylor said
his staff did not consider race in
evaluating coaches to head varsity
football programs next year.
“It’s much ado about nothing,”
Taylor said.
The controversy stems from the
district’s decision to combine South
Park and West Brook high schools
next year. South Park’s head coach,
Jerry Hentschel, who is white, will
retain his position at the new school.
Leo Nolan, the black head coach at
West Brook, will become assistant
football coach and head baseball
coach.
The combination of French High
School with Beaumont-Charlton-
Pollard further fueled the contro
versy.
French’s Steve Shaver, who is
white, will become head football
coach at the new school, while the
other school’s head coach, M.J.
Mitchell, who is black, will become
defensive coordinator.
Oil recyclers
lament EPA
rule changes
Associated Press
DALLAS — Oil recyclers are la
menting changing federal Environ
mental Protection Agency rules that
they say are threatening to turn
them into an endangered species.
At one time, recyclers such as Bill
Tuttle of Mesquite paid up to 35
cents per gallon for used oil. But a
change in EPA regulations last year
forced them to begin charging 10 to
20 cents per gallon to take the oil
they once bought.
And now the EPA is studying a
proposal that would put used motor
oil on the agency’s hazardous waste
list, a change Tuttle says could put
him out of business.
The EPA’s own analysis predicts
the new regulations would eliminate
half the nation’s 300 oil recycling
firms, but agency officials believe the
changes would protect the environ
ment from the disposal of used oil
contaminated with hazardous chem
icals.
If classified as hazardous waste,
used oil would be more expensive
for firms to handle, and critics of the
regulations say the expense will be
passed on to the public in several
ways, ranging from higher costs for
oil changes to illegal dumping along
roadsides.
By itself, used motor oil isn’t a
hazardous waste, but in recent years
federal authorities have uncovered
incidents in the Northeast and Mid
west where hazardous wastes were
added to used motor oil and then
burned.
In response. Congress amended
the federal Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act in 1984 to restrict
the disposal of motor oil containing
hazardous materials such as arsenic,
cadmium, chlorinated solvents and
lead.

Beef industry
Number of cattle in US. lowest since '61
By RUTH COCHRAN
Reporter
The number of beef cattle and
calves in the United States has hit its
lowest mark since 1961, says a live
stock marketing economist for the
Texas Agricultural Extension Serv
ice.
Dr. Ed Uvacek says that on Jan. 1,
105 million head of cattle were in the
United States, and that number
probably will continue to decrease in
the months ahead.
Many ranchers around the coun
try experienced bad weather condi
tions such as severe snow and
drought during 1984 which caused
them to trim back or liquidate their
beef cow herds, Uvacek says. Most of
the cows sold were sent to slaughter.
The 1985 drop in numbers was
caused by more ranchers liquidating
cow herds as they yielded to eco
nomic pressures, he says.
Although the number of beef and
dairy cows that had calves is at its
lowest mark since 1961, the number
of dairy cows that had calves is at its
highest since 1975, he says.
The rise in dairy cow numbers is
probably the dairy farmer’s response
to federal milk subsidy programs
which have helped them make a
profit, Uvacek says.
“They’ve been making money —
it’s part of the cattle industry but it’s
also a separate thing,” Uvacek says.
He says cattlemen around the
country are keeping fewer replace
ment heifers. Replacement heifers
are young cows used to replace un
productive older cows in a rancher’s
herd.
“The feed lot industry itself has
been losing its shirt the past fe»
years,” Uvacek says. “They’re plat
ing less cattle on f eed.
The number of replacement heif
ers kept in the United States is down
7 percent, Uvacek says, but replace
ment heifer numbers are up 7 per
cent in Texas.
“I think we’ve got an unusual situ
ation here in Texas,” he says. “You
could explain that difference two
different ways.”
“The feed industry is such an un
usual animal in that they don’t have
to make money. They’re tax feeders
They can break even or even lose
some money on cattle and still make
money after taxes.”
Uvacek says one reason could be
that Texas cattlemen are keeping
more replacement heifers because
they have a different attitude toward
the beef industry. Texans already
may be thinking of expanding their
herds in hopes of better economic
times ahead, he says.
A more likely reason is that Texas
cattlemen are trying to restock their
herds after the heavy liquidation
caused by drought conditions in
1984 and 1985, he says.
About 11.4 million head of cattle
were in feed lots Jan. 1, Uvacek says,
which is an 8 percent decrease from
the number of cattle on feed during
the same month in 1985.
The decrease is a response by the
feed lot industry to losses in previous
months, he says.
If the feed lot industry lose
money, more cattle are put on feed
to try to make up I he losses, Uvacek
says. Then if the industry still lose
money, he says it begins to cut back
the number of cattle on feed.
The feed lot industry realized a
profit in December f or the first time
in 21 months, Uvacek says. How
ever, he says the industry again lost
money in January and February.
The size of the nation’s calf crop
also was down in 1985, Uvacek says.
The crop decreased 3 percent to 11
million head, the lowest level since
1961.
The Texas calf crop was downd
percent while a few states experi
enced an increase in their calf crop.
Uvacek says.
He says the Texas crop had a
larger decrease because man)
ranches liquidated or trimmed their
cow herds so there were fewer cows
producing calves.
