Proposed bill would protect stars’ names AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas House voted preliminary approval Thursday to the “Buddy Holly bill” that would allow survivors of per sonalities to hold rights to the de ceased’s name, voice and likeness for 50 years. Rep. A1 GranofPs bill, advanced on voice vote, faces a final House vote that would send it to the Senate. The measure was brought to Granoffs attention by Maria Elena Holly Diaz, widow of rock singer Buddy Holly. At a House committee hearing last month, her lawyer said numer ous businesses have been using Hol ly’s picture in their advertising cam paigns without seeking permission. Under current Texas law, there is no restriction on the use of names and pictures of dead people, Gran- off said. “What we’re doing is following a California statute, to some extent, and establishing a property right so that when a famous person dies his name is not just commercially ex ploited,” he said. Granoff, D-Dallas, said his hill doesn’t cover journalistic accounts about famous deceased people. The bill would allow survivors of personalities to register with the Sec retary of State’s office in order to protect rights to the deceased per son’s name, voice, signature, photo graph or likeness. The rights would last for 50 years after the personali ty’s death. Rep. Alan Schoolcraft, R-San An tonio, offered an amendment that Granoff said would have gutted the bill. Schoolcraft said he saw major problems in GranofPs version. “I understand and I think we all sympathize with the family of a de ceased person who sees their family member being used that way,” Schoolcraft said. “And I think we should do something about it. But under this legislation you also could not honor somebody by naming a stadium after them or a road after them.” The Schoolcraft amendment lost, 52-76. In Advance Doctor to discuss Chernobyl accident Dr. Wes Wallace, founder and chairman of the Austin chapter of Physicians for Social Responsi bility, will speak on the Chernobyl accident as seen through the eyes of a physician today at 7:30 p.m. at the College Station Commu nity Center.

Faculty Senate to consider pay raise By Amy Couvillon Reporter The Texas A&M Faculty Sen ate on Monday will consider a resolution that recommends giv ing female faculty across-the- board pay increases to compen sate for what a study found to he salary discrimination. The resolution, which will be submitted at the Senate meeting by the Committee on the Status of Women in the University, sug gests a pay increase to compen sate for a “collective discrimina tory burden of $180,905.76,” which an Of fice of Planning and Institutional Analysis salary equ ity study found between male and female faculty levels for the 1985- 86 academic year. The resolution also suggests an annual study of f aculty salaries to ensure that there is no gender- based salary discrimination in the future. The Senate also will continue its consideration of a list of changes in the University Rules and Regulations. Changes ap proved by the Senate must be ap proved by President Frank fc. Vandiver to become policy. Items to l>e considered include the fol lowing: • Several new paragraphs dealing with A&M computer services.

CD S House OKs $39.4 billion spending bill AUSTIN (AP) — The Senate Fi nance Committee has approved a two-year spending bill that would re quire at least $2.5 billion in new reve nue, but Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, the Senate’s presiding officer, said the proposal does not meet the needs of the state. The appropriations bill, calling for $39.4 billion, was approved 10-0 late Wednesday. Hobby said Thursday the bill does not really meet the needs of the state, but it is at the level the state can afford. Asked what could be done to meet the needs of the state, Hobby said, “Well, we need to pass a tax bill, ob viously.” “I think it is a good bill, a long time ahead of schedule,” he said of the spending bill.
