Senate approves
Clements’ choices
to join A&M board
AUSTIN (AP) — The Senate on
Thursday approved Gov. Bill Clem
ents’ appointment of two Texas
A&M regents and the reappoint
ment of another.
Nominations were approved for
Douglas DeCluitt of McLennan
County and Wayne Showers of Hi
dalgo County. William McKenzie of
Dallas County was reappointed to
the board.
Clements survived a minor Senate
revolt Thursday as a bipartisan ma
jority confirmed, 21-4, the appoint
ment of Dallas lawyer-investor Louis
Beecherl as a University of Texas re
gent.
Two senators who voted against
Beecherl’s six-year appointment said
they had nothing against him but ob
jected to Clements’ handling of the
appointment.
Sen. Chet Edwards, D-Duncan-
ville, said he was voting against Bee
cherl “not because of any criticism of
Mr. Beecherl, but because I feel very
strongly that what Governor Clem
ents did — trying to influence Mr.
Beecherl’s vote on the chairmanship
of the UT board at the very meeting
he was talking to Mr. Beecherl about
his own appointment — was wrong.”
Beecherl had testified at a meet
ing of Edwards’ Nominations Com
mittee that he had “some, commit
ment” to Clements to work for a new
UT regent chairman.
Edwards said Clements “did ba
sically try to bring political pressure
for political reasons to oust Mr.
Hay as chairman of that board."
Jess
“What was Mr. Hay guilty of?”
Edwards said. “Well, a few days ear
lier he had spoken out forthrightly
and said it is very important that we
have a quality higher-education sys
tem in Texas.
“He said we should not provide
further cuts in higher education. In
fact, to really have a quality educa
tion system, we need more funding
for those universities, not less.”
Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur,
said he had not been approached by
Beecherl or any member of the gov
ernor’s staff about Beecherl’s “hopes
and aspirations for the largest uni
versity in this state.”
“I don’t need a smoking gun to
justify my vote” against Beecherl,
Parker said. “All I need is the lack of
response, the lack of a positive assur
ance that the person is committed to
excellence in higher education in
this state and dedicated to that prop
osition — and not simply a lackey or
errand boy for the governor whose
primary motive is to remove some-
body that’s already done a good job,”
Parker said.
The Senate took a separate vote
on the following Clements appoin
tees, approving them for six-year
terms, 26-0:
University of Texas regents —
Sam Barshop, Bexar County; W.A.
“Tex” Moncrief, Tarrant.
Stephen F. Austin State Univer
sity regents — Lawrence Jones, Tar
rant; Peggy Wright, Nacogdoches.
Texas State University System re
gent— Norman Elder, Val Verde.
Farm Aid III to be held
in Nebraska Sept. 27;
Willie Nelson to host
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Farm
Aid III was planned for Washing
ton, D.C., but timing and politics in
tervened to put the concert in Lin
coln, says Willie Nelson, singer ando
organizer of Farm Aid.
University of Nebraska officials
and Nelson announced Wednesday
that Farm Aid III will be held at Me :
morial Stadium on Sept. 27 if nego
tiations on concert details can be
completed.
“Originally, I thought about going
to RFK Stadium in Washington and
having a big to-do there,’ Nelson
said in a telephone interview
Wednesday night from Caesar’s Pal
ace in Las Vegas, Nev., “but it would
have had to have been built around a
farm bill. The timing would have
had to have been so perfect and it
may have turned into more a semi-
militant-type advance on the Capi
tol.
“I can understand why a lot of
people are upset. But I just wanted it
to be an entertainment thing, to go
into an area where the problem is as
bad as it can get and do a show for
the people there and at the same
time call attention to the problem.”
Nelson said he picked Lincoln for
the concert because, among other
reasons, Nebraska is one of the states
hit hardest by the farm crisis.
Entertainers for the benefit con
cert have not been determined. The
last two concerts have been show
cases for American music, present
ing a convincing blend of country
and rock acts, a tradition Nelson said
will continue here.
“I’ve always had the Fourth of
July picnics and tried to have all
kinds of music. I think that a good
way to get all kinds of people to
gether is to give them all kinds of
music,” he said.
“So far I have intentionally not
called up anybody and said, ‘We’re
doing Farm Aid III, do you want to
be on it?’ because I was waiting first
of all to get a date,” he said. “Now
that we have a date, I can start get
ting in touch with people.”
Two performers have told Nelson
they would be at Farm Aid III re
gardless of its location: Neil Young,
one of the organizers of the first
Farm Aid show, and rocker Jon Bon
Jovi.
“All the regulars, I’m going to try
to get them to come back — Kris
(Kristofferson), Waylon (Jennings),
Emmylou (Harris), Neil Young,
John Cougar Mellencamp — I’m
going to invite all those guys and
more,” Nelson said. “I’m sure they
will be there.”
Constitutional convention draws opposition
team
own.
was» !
H AUSTIN (AP) — States calling for a constitu
tional convention to add a balanced-budget
^ j amendment to the U.S. Constitution are playing
dyOfCv* Russian roulette with the document, convention
2^* 1 opponents said Thursday.
■ Organizations from all sides of the political
spectrum gathered at a Capitol news conference
to announce their support for a resolution filed
by Rep. Clint Hackney, D-Houston.
H Hackney is asking the state to withdraw a reso
lution passed in 1977 calling for a constitutional
convention.
I “I filed HCR69 this year in order to try and re
move what I consider to be a cloud that is hang
ing over this country that is more dangerous than
b
any outside enemy that we might have,” he said.
Thirty-two states have passed resolutions
asking Congress to call a constitutional conven
tion. Only two more would be needed for the
convention to convene.
Opponents fear that because no rules exist for
a constitutional convention, the convention
would not be limited to adding a balanced-bud-
get amendment and the entire Constitution po-
tentiallv could be rewritten.
Hackney said the nation is not prepared for a
constitutional convention and has no historic
precedents to use as guidelines.
Liz Minnick, of Texas Eagle Forum, said she
has already received two rewritten constitutions
that she says are scary.
There are five chances that nothing will hap
pen to it, but at least one chance exists that some
guaranteed rights might be killed.
At the press conference, People For The
American Way launched a national effort to per
suade states that have passed measures calling
for a convention to reconsider.
The group sucessfully lobbied the Montana
Legislature to refuse to endorse the convention,
said Art Kropp, executive director for People
For the American Way.
States considering withdrawing their petitions
include Nevada, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Texas. But 11 states are considering passing a pe
tition to call the convention, Kropp said.
