in Bryan was inspected by David
Pickens. Score — 85. Five points
were deducted in the report be
cause some chips that already had
been served were being saved for
re-use. A four-point violation was
cited in the report because a fly-
proof screen needed to be in
stalled over an exhaust fan. The
report said this was a repeat viola
tion and gave three days to cor
rect the problem.
The report also said some
screening needed to be replaced
on a door. Two points were sub
tracted in the report because a
men’s bathroom was dirty and the
toilet seat was on the floor. A two-
point violation was cited in the re
port because some food was left
uncovered in a refrigerator and
in a reach-in freezer.
One point was deducted in the
report because there were some
personal items in a women’s bath
room and a hand sink in the bath
room was inaccessible. One more
point was subtracted in the report
because a ceiling trap door was
open.
David Jefferson, a registered sanitarian at the department, says res-
burants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellent operations
md facilities. Jefferson says restaurants with scores in the 70s or low 80s
Usually have serious violations on the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson says, because restaurants can
Achieve the same score by having several major violations or an abun
dance of minor violations. He says the major violations might close the
r estaurant down while some minor violations can be corrected during
(he inspection.
Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: the score
Bs below 60, the personnel has infectious diseases, the restaurant lacks
pdequate refrigeration, a sewage backup exists in the building, the res
taurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food equipment.
Point deductions, or violations, on the report range from one point
(minor violation) to five points (major violation). The department in
spects each restaurant about every six months.
Sometimes a follow-up inspection must be made, usually within 10
lays. Jefferson says a restaurant might require a follow-up inspection if
it has a four- or Five-point violation that cannot be corrected while the
inspector is still there, or if there are numerous small violations.
Inspectors at the department are registered sanitarians.

Voters pass
Texas banking
amendment
HOUSTON (AP) — Customers
may find it more convenient, but in
dependent banks will find it tough to
compete in Texas under a branch
banking amendment voters added to
the state constitution, officials pre
dicted Wednesday.
The proposal, which gathered 73
percent of the vote, was one of four
constitutional amendments passed
Tuesday.
The other amendments grant
some mutual-insurance companies
permission to sell policies to political
subdivisions, change the Legis
lature’s bill-caption rule, and allow
the value of railroad rolling stock —
tanks, boxcars and engines — to be
apportioned among counties by gen
eral law, rather than the state comp
troller.
State Rep. Ralph Wallace, a co
sponsor of the bill to get branch
banking on the ballot, said the Legis
lature will work out specifics in the
next session.
“I think it’s going to make it more
competitive, more advantageous for
the consumer,” Wallace said.
But Gary Tongate, an indepen
dent banker opposed to the amend
ment, said he believed branch bank
ing eventually will result in higher
service charges.
“Obviously, we feel it’s going to be
detrimental to Texas,” said Tongate,
a member of Independent Bankers
of Texas. “I think the well-managed
independent banks will still have a
place in Texas, but they will find it
difficult to compete.”
The amendment to repeal the
one-subject rule relating to the cap
tion title of a bill also won 73 percent
approval. It makes each chamber of
the Legislature responsible for re
quiring that the subject of each bill
be in its title.
predict
reforms
School Coaches Association, agreed.
“I don’t think there’s going to be a
great deal of changes. Basically,
what we have is what we’re going to
keep,” he said. “Maybe there’ll be a
little fine-tuning, but I don’t see any
watering-down of reforms coming.”
Joseph said he hopes paring the
six-week penalty period to three
weeks will be one of those minor
changes Clements pursues. The new
governor has said in the past that
perhaps three weeks would be more
equitable.
“Starting just about a year ago, I
was a voice in the wildnerness saying
that House bill 72 must be fine-tu
ned,” Clements said. “That was my
expression. I still believe that. “The
no-pass, no-play (rule) needs to be
shortened from six weeks to three
weeks.”
White said the educational re
forms should be one of his most en
during legacies.
He based his campaign on the
need for better public schools and
for higher education, and he sup
ported tax increases such as the $1
billion in temporary sales and gaso
line taxes approved during the latest
legislative special sessions.
“I’m very proud of the work we’ve
done and the accomplishments
we’ve made,” he said.

When they asked what type of
roommate I wanted, I didn’t know that
I needed to be more specific than non-
smoker. I could swear I saw a picture
of Anique on a postcard I got from
London. Within five minutes, I found
out that she was an Art History stu

totally, totally against the domesti-
