■ At a dinner, Santos told the

Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Santos — speaking in place of
an ailing Javier Espinosa, Energy

the industry should closely exam

foreoil prices fell from about $27

oil prices on two independent
forces: The general decline in the

Touring pianist brings songs
about Christian faith to A&M
By Teresa Roberson
Reporter
Students walking near the foun
tains outside the Chemistry Building
Tuesday afternoon may have heard
piano music and a female voice
amidst the the ordinary sounds of
Texas A&M campus activity.
From about noon to 1 p.rn., Lynn
Breitenbach, from Washington State
University, was playing the piano
and singing for anyone who cared to
stop anti listen.
Breitenbach and her husband,
Cene, who is a speaker and a tea
cher, travel to different universities
throughout the United States, sing
ing and talking to Christian students
and teaching them how to share
their faith with other people.
Breitenbach does tne playing and
singing, while her husband conducts
talks at dorms in the evenings.
Breitenbach said they usually per
form dorm concerts, hut they seem
to get a better response outside.
“Some people walk away when
they hear me say Jesus or God, but
that’s understandable,” Breitenbach
said.
Breitenbach was asked to come to
A&M by Barry Chole, the minister
for the Chi Alpha Christian
Fellowship Association on campus.
Although Breitenbach and her
husband have been touring universi
ties for three years, Tuesday was
their first trip to A&M, she said.
Breitenbach said that she and her
husband originally had planned to
be here for only two days, as this was
their first time to visit A&M. Instead,
however, she was so surprised by the
great number of students involved
in Christian activities that she plans
to come back next year and stay for a
week.
Breitenbach’s selections consist of
a mixture of secular and Christian
music.
Some popular tunes that Breiten
bach played were “Desperado,”
“Come Let Us Reason” and “Out
Here On My Own.”
But her repertoire also includes
her own compositions — “After the
Party’s Over,” “You Are There” and
“I Choose You” — all of which she
played Tuesday.
Although Breitenbach comes pre
pared with her own songs, she will
play requests, as she did for Diane
Schnetzinger and Kim Kajacob, who
requested the tune “What A Differ
ence You’ve Made in My Life” as
they sat and listened with numerous
other students.
Breitenbach and her husband
conclude their A&M stay today, af
ter which they will travel to Stephen
F. Austin university in Nacog
doches and then to the University of
Texas at Austin.

Clements: State high court should be 1st
to test any appointment system for judges
AUSTIN (AP) — If Chief Justice
John Hill wants to replace Texas’
elected judges with gubernatorial
appointees, then Hill’s Supreme
Court should be the guinea pig, Gov.
Bill Clements said Tuesday.
“If Chief Justice Hill is serious
about this and wants to give it a trial
effort, let’s start with the Supreme
Court,’’said Clements, who defeated
Hill, a Democrat, in the 1978 guber
natorial race. “I’d be very happy to
undertake that.”
But Clements said he has doubts
about changing the current system
of choosing judges in popular elec
tions between partisan opponents.
“My position (on changing the sys
tem) is one of skepticism and cau
tion,” Clements said.
Hill has led the way in
a “merit selection” plan
pushing f<
in which <
or
all
Texas judges first would be ap
pointed, then subject to elections in
which voters decide whether the
judges should remain in office.
Backers of the idea note that seve
ral states already use such a system.
In a speech to the Legislature on
Monday, Hill said the current system
of partisan election has produced
“big-bucks” races and a judicial sys
tem that no longer has the confi
dence of many Texans. He urged
lawmakers to place on the ballot a
proposal to change the system.
1 he chief justice’s plan is opposed
by the eight other members of the
Supreme Court, all of whom also are
Democrats.

■ AUSTIN (AH) — Speaker Gib Lewis Tuesday
announced a “War on Crime” package that has a
price tag he said Texans are willing to pay, even
if it means higher taxes.
■ “I think we have a commitment to solve a very
serious problem in our society,” Lewis said at a
news conference. “If it requires additional reve
nue, I’ll be the first to stand up and say, ‘I’m for
that additional revenue.’
IA Texas Civil Liberties Union official who was
at ihe session said Lewis’ package includes step-
png on constitutional rights of criminal de
fendants. A Texas Conference of Churches offi
cial, who was also there, said Texans could be
wasting money by building more prisons.
Lewis’ package, carried by four House mem
bers, includes:
• Reducing the availability of “good time”
credit earned by inmates.
• Expanding the type of confessions that can
be admitted as evidence.
• Allowing criminal prosecution as adults of
13- and 14-year-olds accused of violent crimes,
and allowing the introduction of juvenile crime
records as evidence.
• Allowing a single trial for several related
crimes.
• Tracing the purchase of bulk chemicals
commonly used to make illegal drugs.
“It is very clear that a price is attached to these
proposals,” said Lewis, D-Fort Worth. “Whatever
that may be ... I am convinced citizens want a
safer Texas and are willing to pay that price.”
The Senate sponsor said his bill would cost
about $25 million. Lewis said Tuesday House
budget-writers have found only $2 million to $3
million to pay for the bill, but he is convinced
U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice would
take that as a show of “good faith.”
