AN iMimi Sergeant says he, others spied on SAC missions OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Air Force sergeant seeking discharge as a conscientious objector Thursday said Strategic Air Command air planes from Offutt Air Force Base are flying spy missions along Nicara gua’s borders. Sgt. Daniel Cobos of San Antonio, Texas, a Spanish translator for the Air Force, said he participated in the missions. “Every night I flew from Ne braska to Nicaragua to conduct elec tronic spying,” Cobos said in a news release. Citing Air Force harrassment, he declined further commment on the missions at a news conference. Louis Font, a Boston attorney rep resenting Cobos, said the informa tion Cobos participated in gathering was relayed from the Pentagon, CIA and National Security Agency to Contra rebels in Nicaragua in viola tion of federal law. In Advance Faculty Senate to consider curriculum The Faculty Senate will discuss a proposal to streamline the pro cedure for approving new courses and course changes at 3:15 p.m. Monday in 301 Rudder Tower. Six new courses and two course changes will be considered at this meeting, but the Senate expects an even larger number of changes will be needed to imple ment the core curriculum. The executive committee’s rec ommendation is that a list of the changes be sent to each senator before the meeting and that full documentation be made available for a week prior to the meeting. A specific course would be dis cussed only if two or more*: ators objected to it, according the proposed rule. The Senate also will considt; revised version of Texas A&SI academic honesty policy. There ommended changes stress the dependence of individual depar merits in developing: appropriate code of ethics. The policy recommends per: ties for plagiarism and cheat: ranging from a lower grade dismissal from the Univers: Academic dishonesty among fa ulty and staff warrants sancte ranging from public reprimat: to dismissal, according tothepo icy. Font, who is affiliated with the GI rights group Citizen Soldier Inc., called for a Congressional investiga tion into the alleged spy missions. Ft. Col. Ralph Tosti, Offutt public affairs officer, said the case is under investigation to determine if any classified information has been com promised. The Air Force will have no comment on the case pending the results, Tosti said. 2 rescued aliens soy angry migrant worfa locked railroad traik Cobos, 30, has flown missions aboard an RC-135 reconnaissance plane for the last three years while attached to the 55th Strategic Recon naissance Wing at Offutt. His duties included monitoring elegtonic mes sages from Nicaragua and, after translation, relaying them to the Pentagon, CIA and NSA, Font said. Various sources have confirmed that the intelligence information was relayed to the Contras in violation of the Boland Amendment, which pro hibited direct or indirect assistance to the Nicaraguan rebels. Font said. The Boland Amendment re stricted aid to the Contras from Oc tober 1984 to October 1986. Font would not disclose the sources linking the spy flights to Contra assistance, but said he was sure a link would be established if Congress would investigate the charges. “It is true that these missions have taken place, this information has been gathered and it has been gath ered for the benefit of the Contras,” Font said. LAREDO (AP) — Two of 19 ille gal aliens found trapped and de hydrated in a sweltering railroad tra iler said Thursday they were locked in by another migrant who was an gry they wouldn’t let him in. “Someone held the door closed and wouldn’t let anyone else inside,” Juan Mexicano, one of those in the trailer, said. Then the door was locked, he said, “and that’s when I got scared.” U.S. Border Patrol officers discov ered the men Wednesday while checking cars on the Texas-Mexican Railway train in Hebbronville, about 60 miles east of here. The men were semiconscious and had stripped off some of their clothes, said authorities, who esti mated it was 120 degrees inside the trailer, which attaches to tractor-tra iler trucks and was perched on a flat bed railroad car.

"They were messing door, and there was talk that tlifj migration was coming,” Palmai It was the fourth recent incident in which illegal aliens were found trapped in trains or trucks as they triea to sneak across the border from Mexico. On July 2, 18 aliens were found dead in a locked boxcar in the West Texas town of Sierra Blanca. One man survived.

Poll: No-pass, no-play ruk in may be deterring studentf By Susan Singer Reporter The no-pass, no-play rule may be backfiring on officials as students scramble to take less demanding courses that enable them to slide by grade requirements. The Texas Poll of Public School Principals released by Texas A&M’s Principal’s Center indicates that a majority of Texas principals believe the rule causes students to select less demanding courses. Dr. James McNamara, poll direc tor and professor of educational psy chology and educational administra tion, said a high percentage of principals think this is true. “We asked junior and senior high- school principals if they thought the no-pass, no-play rule was causing students to take less rigorous courses and about 63 percent, or two out of three, said it was,” McNamara said. There are good and bad things about the rule, but its name should be something different, he said. “For the six weeks before the play’s production, they have to memorize lines, and they’re going to blow off other things,” he said. “They are willing to make a trade off because they want that balanced education. “On the negative, the no-pass, no play rule is counterproductive to the intents of the legislation. The legis lation was set to put more emphasis “We asked junior and se nior high-school princi pals if they thought the no-pass, no-play rule was causing students to take less rigorous courses and about 63 percent . . . said it was. ” — Dr. James McNamara, poll director earns, hat th from t “The no-pass, no-play rule should be called the ‘no-pass, no-partici pation’ rule, because when we talk ‘no-pass, no-play,’ we’re talking about all extracurricular activities,” McNamara said. “It could mean stu dents who were interested in drama, band, debate, choral or sports. The good news is that students see these as an important part of their formal education.” McNamara cited a survey which appeared in a Los Angeles newspa per that indicated in which area the most ineligible students appeared — it wasn’t sports, but drama. on rigorous courses, and clearly, what’s happening is students are not taking those courses, which means it’s not achieving the objectives it set out to achieve.” Some solutions to the problem al ready are in place, McNamara said. Students can take certain ad vanced courses, and if they are a little below par during a grading pe riod but have maintained interest and intensity in the course, they are not in jeopardy of losing their right to participate in extracurricular ac tivities. NE\ Comm pledge would sports Another solution McNaman ' nority poses is to look at less-permanf off-the medics. : “Bas Instead of having six weeks Ueben participation, it could be rediiff fere no three weeks and accomplisk with same objectives, he said. “We could also counsel better in terms of matching titudes and interests witli they take, so if they do take a ous course, their interest will them along,” he said. McNamara said he oppose idea of having a set curriculum way of blocking students from ing easier courses. “Schools have such a diveo the types of students, in term their anilities and interests, tha: put all students in the same tf ulum, we are going to enha» : drop-out rate,” he said.
