Court refuses
jto disqualify
| Hunts'judge
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals re
fused Thursday to disqualify a fed
eral district judge in Texas from
presiding over a bankruptcy trial in
volving the billionaire Hunt broth
ers.
In a four-page ruling, the 5th Cir
cuit brushed aside arguments by the
Hunts that U.S. District Judge Bare
foot Sanders should step aside be
cause he has had business dealings
with a former lawyer for one of the
23 banks involved in the case and be
cause he has an investment in one of
the banks.
The lawyer in question has with
drawn from the case, making that
argument moot, the 5th Circuit said.
Furthermore, the court said, “We
are unwilling to adopt a rule requir
ing recusal (disqualification) in every
case in which a judge owns stock of a
company in the same industry as one
of the parties to the case .. .
The ruling apparently removed
the final obstacle blocking a trial on
the suit in which the Hunts are try
ing to prevent the banks from fore
closing on $1.5 billion in overdue
loans.

New fitness test would ralst
high school PE standards
By Genevieve Blute
Reporter
A statewide task force on physical
fitness has prepared a new fitness
test that, if adopted, will dramati
cally alter the content of Texas’
physical education classes, a Texas
A&M professor says.
Dr. Elvin E. Smith, professor of
medical physiology, a member of the
21-member task force, says the test
will place more emphasis on endur
ance and overall fitness rather than
on specific athletic skills.
The Texas Board of Education
now requires students to take 1 Vz
units of physical education in their
four years of high school, he savs.
Exemptions from P.E. are offered
under the present system for stu
dents involved in activities such as
the debate team, drill team and
hand.,
“In Texas, less than 50 percent (of
the students) ever take P.E. in 1'/a
years of high school,” Smith says.
“We feel this is a major fact of the
decline in physical fitness of kids in
Texas.”
The new program would require
mandatory participation in P.E. ev
ery year, he says. Students would
participate in P.E. three times a
week.
Smith says the program currently
is being piloted in 400 school dis
tricts in Texas.
After the program and the sug
gested new curriculum are tested,
the task force will appear in front of

cept of physical lit ness as a

There are two ways to mea
fitness. Smith says. One is the
mative method which is pres<
used, he says.
Under this method, fitness is i

define fitness for the student, S
says. Instead, he savs. it meas
the student as compared to the
ulation.
The second way of measurin]
ness is the criterion—re fere
method, which Smith says the
task force hopes to implement.
“It sets the absolute value of

Baker: Clements ‘close’ to White House
DALLAS (AP) — Secretary of
Treasury James Baker said Thurs
day that Democratic Gov. Mark
White gets a cool reception from the
White House while Republican gu
bernatorial candidate Bill CJements
enjoys a close personal relationship
with members of the Reagan admin
istration.
Baker, in Dallas to campaign for
Clements, said that Gov. White is
known in Washington for writing
letters with “political slant” that are
not well received.
He said he and Clements have en
joyed “a close, personal friendship
going back 16 years” and that the
former Republican governor is well
connected at the White House.
“It’s much better for the chief ex
ecutive of a state to have a close per
sonal working relationship with
those in Washington," Baker said.
Addressing other issues. Baker
blamed a divided Texas oil industry
for President Reagan’s decision not
to support an oil import fee.
The secretary, a former Houston
attorney and oil investor, said he
personally favored the oil import fee
as a measure that would help) the
foundering Texas oil industry. But
he said support for the issue is not
