says AIDS cases
high in minorities
AUSTIN (AP) — The AIDS epi
demic is a disproportionately large
threat to blacks and Hispanics, Sur
geon General Dr. C. Everett Koop
told Texas lawmakers Thursday.
He said statistics indicate the high
incidence of AIDS in those commu
nities could be a result of higher in
travenous drug abuse.
“This situation is extremely se
rious and we’ve just got to talk about
it,” Koop said in a speech to a joint
session of the Texas Legislature.
While only one of every eight
Americans is black, one of every
four Americans with acquired im
mune deficiency syndrome is black,
according to Koop. One-fourth of
AIDS victims in the nation are His
panic, although the Hispanic pop
ulation represents only one-twelfth
of the overall population.
More than half the infants born
with AIDS are black. About one-
fourth of the infants born with AIDS
are Hispanic, Koop said.
“Nearly all these children received
the virus from their infected moth
ers either in-utero or during deliv
ery,” Koop said. “And just to in
crease our sense of horror at this
catastrophe . . . we suspect that the
number of cases is vastly underre
ported.
“These pieces of information are
all part of a total picture of a disease
that is relentlessly reaching further
and further into our society and we
are practically powerless to stop it or
even to slow it down.”
The surgeon general presented
his now-familiar AIDS message, in
cluding his urging of monogamy as
an AIDS prevention measure and
the use of condoms for those who do
not maintain that lifestyle. Koop also
called for increased education about
sexual matters, including AIDS.
“Most schools offer this minimumi
kind of sex education sometime dur--
ing the junior-high or middle-school I
years, and that’s a good thing, al--
though it might be a little bit Tate,”’
he said. “I have urged the material I
be presented earlier, among 9-, 10-,
and 11-year-olds.
“There’s much more to human
relationships than just good sex, and
young people ought to oe told about
that. Everyone dreams of such a
relationship. The novelists call it
true love. The sociologists call it
marital fidelity. The surgeon gen
eral tends to call it monogamy. And,
strictly from a public health point of
view, the best defense against AIDS,
short of total abstinence, is to main
tain a faithful, monogamous
relationship.”
Legislature to debate
leave bill for parents
AUSTIN (AP) — If the state
really wants to promote family va
lues, it ought to give employees time
off when children are born or grav
ely ill — and promise them their old
jobs back, lawmakers said Thursday.
Legislation to provide such job
guarantees to some 170,000 state
government and university employ
ees has been introduced in both the
House and Senate.
“A parent should be secure
aboout her job during one of the
happiest moments of life, when she
is giving birth to a child,” said Rep.
Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen.
“If we wish to strengthen family
values and unity, we must protect
the security of childbearing par
ents,” he added.
Also sponsoring the measure are
Sen. Hugh Parmer, D-Fort Worth,
and Rep. Lena Guerrero, D-Austin.
The measure would give state em
ployees, both men and women, the
option of taking up to six months of
unpaid leave, and it guarantees that
upon returning to work they would
get back either their old job or a sim
ilar position.

taurants with scores of 95 or above generally have excellentoptm
and facilities. He says restaurants with scores in the 70s or lowi
usually have serious violations in the health report.
Scores can be misleading, Jefferson says, because restaunnui
get the same score by having several minor violations ora few mm
olations. He says the minor violations can be corrected during tht;
spection. Point deductions, or violations, in the report range from
point (minor violation) to five points (major violations).
Jefferson says the department might close a restaurant if: then
is below 60, the personnel have infectious diseases, the restaurantk
adequate refrigeration, there is a sewage backup in the building or
restaurant has a complete lack of sanitization for the food tyuipma:
The department inspects each restaurant every six montns.JeSt
son says a follow-up inspection is sometimes requited if a restaurants
a four- or five-point violation that cannot lx? corrected during tht
spection, or if there are numerous small violations.
Inspectors at the department are registered sanitarians.

DALLAS (AP) — Football scan
dals are nothing new at Southern
Methodist University, a campus that
was shocked in 1922 by revelations
that athletes received improper pay
ments of as much as $1.75 an hour.
The 65-year-old saga has a famil
iar ring at the school, whose football
team was banned for the 1987 sea
son because players were paid in vio
lation of NCAA rules.
The 1922 scandal is detailed in a
hot-selling book in the campus
bookstore.
In 1920, “some of the business
men in Dallas put pressure upon the
university to build up a (football)
team that could at least make a re
spectable showing,” according to
“Southern Methodist University:
Founding and Early Years.”
The book was written in 1974 by
Mary Martha Hosford Thomas, an
SMU graduate and the daughter of
the university’s longtime professor
and provost, Hemphill Hosford.
Thomas is a professor of history at
Jacksonville State University in Ala
bama.
A chapter titled “Athletic Contro
versy” tells about payoffs to athletes,
illegal scholarships and a fight for
the
power between the faculty and the
This month the SMU board of
trustees voted to abolish the board of
governors. That came after Gov. Bill

board of governors, said he and sev
