Task force
appointed
to find jobs
DALLAS (AP) — Gov.-elect Bill
Clements on Thursday named a 67-
member task force charged with
helping create jobs for Texans.
Clements named businessmen Jim
Adams of Dallas and John Cater of
Houston as task force chairmen. Ad
ams is president of the Texas Divi
sion of Southwestern Bell Tele
phone Co. Cater is president of
MCorp.
“The key issue facing us today in
Texas is jobs, jobs and more jobs,”
Clements said at a news conference.
“I am embarrassed as a Texan that
our unemployment rate exceeds the
national average.”
The Texas unemployment rate
for October was 9.5 percent. The na
tional average was 7 percent.
Clements and the co-chairmen
said the task force will recommend
legislation when the state House and
Senate convene in January. They
would not discuss specific legislative
recommendations. The task force
also will work on mid- and long-
range economic programs.
But Adams said an example of
laws that will be addressed is those
that hamper business, such as state
regulations.
“We are an action-oriented
group,” Adams said. “We’re looking
to change trends, not predict them.
That’s what we’re all about.”
The task force will focus on small
business development, capital for
mation, technology, energy, agricul
ture, relations with Mexico and in
ternational relations.
Cater said another committee will
address issues such as transporta
tion, worker’s compensation and
others that don’t fall into one area.
While acknowledging that the
drop in oil prices has hurt the Texas
economy and caused unemploy
ment, Clements said “oil is a piece of
our economy and only a piece.”
“We’re not going to let that tail
wag our dog,” Clements said. “The
price of oil only contributes eight
cents of every dollar to the state’s
economy.”
Cater said, “No one denies that
the oil and gas sector is a significant
part of the Texas economy. But the
point that is so often overlooked is
that we are in a state of overbuilding.
So there’s excess capacity, no matter
what the price of oil.”
Clements said he will press for a
tariff on imported oil, and he is
scheduled to discuss the issue early
next year with President Reagan,
who opposes a tariff. Clements
would not say whether he believes
Reagan has changed his mind.
Clements said the Texas economy
also has suffered because of “federal
neglect.” He said he believes having
Jim Wright, D-Texas, as House
Speaker will help Texas in Congress.
Al SPIN (AP) — The president
ftju Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at the
injvcrsity of Texas refused to com-
Bon news reports Thursday that
)u| fraternity members face sus-
enjsion after investigation of the al-
aho! related death of a Phi Kappa
siledge.
The Austin American-Statesman
epoiicd that four fraternity mem-
ers, including president Brent
'ofiileone, had been told by uni-
y officials that they will be sus-
ed.
inteleone declined to comment,
e American-Statesman and the
Texan, the University of
s’ newspaper, said other stu-
also were targets of discipli-
action after a six-week univer-
ivestigation into the September
i of Mark Seeberger.
R|)ii Brown, UT vice president for
student affairs, would not comment
on the reports, saying, “We treat all
disciplinary actions as confidential.”
He said such actions are not an
nounced until they are final.
The news reports, citing un
named sources, said the punishment
decisihns were made in late Novem
ber.
Seeberger, an 18-year-old fresh
man from Dallas, died in his off-
campus dormitory Sept. 18, a few
hours after a Sept. 17 event de
scribed to police as a fraternity
“ride.” A “ride” is the practice of
driving pledges far from their
homes and letting them out, often
while intoxicated.
An autopsy indicated Seeberger
drank about 18 ounces of rum.
Monteleone and the fraternity’s
pledge trainer, who is among those
reportedly facing suspension, were
not in the van the night of Sept. 17.
But sources told the American-
Statesman that UT officials con
cluded the officers knew pledges of
the fraternity were taken on rides
regularly and were in a position to
stop the practice.
One source said UT officials
would not have assessed so severe a
punishment against the officers had
they cooperated more with the in
vestigation.
Glenn Maloney, assistant dean of
students, has said the individuals
charged with violating UT regula
tions will be allowed to choose
whether to accept the penalty as
sessed, request a hearing or wait un
til a criminal investigation by the
Travis County district attorney is
completed.
