AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
Prison Rodeo, a half-century tradi
tion billed as “The Wildest Show
Behind Bars,” Monday bit the dust,
perhaps permanently, according to
the chairman of the state prison
board.
T he rodeo, held in October, is
economically self-sufficient, hut the
arena in which it is held needs
$800,000 worth of repairs.
The state won’t pay for the re
pairs, and private donations
amounted to $29,000.

“Obviously, the state doesn’t
want to fund this type of money,”
board chairman A1 Hughes said.
“So at this time I would say the ro
deo will just continue to be on hold.
“Unless there’s some financial
angel that comes along and wants to
see a rodeo worse than we do, that
will be the end of the Texas Prison
Rodeo.”
The event, featuring convict
cowboys who competed for cash,
was first held in 1933 on the site of
the present arena, which holds
26,000 people. Money raised by the
rodeo went into funds that bene
fited inmates.

James Lynaugh, Texas Depart
ment of Corrections director, said
structural engineers determined
the arena is now unsafe because of
rusty reinforcing bars in its con
crete.
He said the $29,000 in donations
would be returned or used for
other purposes.
“It probably doesn’t serve any
purpose for corrections,” Lynaugh
said of the rodeo, adding, however,
that some inmates and TDC work
ers would miss the event.
The rodeo has been variously
praised as good recreation and crit
icized as unnecessarily dangerous.
“It doesn’t have anything to do
with corrections. It’s old-time his
tory and policy and tradition, and
from that standpoint I hate to see it
go,” Hughes said after Monday’s
prison board meeting.
“But if anything, it took away
from us doing the job we have to do
today. Anytime you take staff to
plan and work on various things it
takes away from thejob,” he said.
There is no chance * that state
funds ever would be used to revive
the rodeo, Hughes predicted.
“I don’t think the board would
want to spend money for that. I be
lieve it would be a clear indication
to the courts that we’re not serious
about taking care of our problems,”
he said.
jugn tne t exas Legislatu
has one of the biggest end-of-session
bill logjams in the nation, legislators
have their own system to divide the
workload evenly over the entire ses
sion.
Dr. Harvey J. Tucker, a political
scientist at Texas A&M, says voters
tend to make hasty conclusions
about how the Legislature operates.
“The reason people have por
trayed the Legislature as congested
is that they take a look at when hills
are passed into law,” Tucker says.
About 80 percent of the hills
passed in the session were passed in
the last two weeks, he says. This fact
contributes to the misconception
that the end-of-session bill logjam
leads to hasty consideration, confu
sion and inferior legislation, he says.
“Bills are not isolated,” Tucker
says. “They interact with each other.
Bills are not independent. You have
to consider them all together.
“What the Legislature is doing is
taking these ideas and throwing out
the bad ideas and then working with
the better ideas. As long as it’s elimi
nating ideas early in the session, to
ward the end ol the session, it has
just the good ideas.
“It turns out that an overwhelm
ing proportion of bills that are still
alive in the last two weeks are passed
into law.”
Tucker has completed a study of
the workload congestion of the 69th
regular session of the Legislature,
which met in 1985.
In his study. Tucker broadt
the scope from looking onlyata
decisions on bills passed ands
eluded all decisions on all bills.
The legislative session, heJ
can he divided into three distinc;
riods of activity: a period ofbuilii
the legislative agenda of bills,a::
tial period of clearing the agcl
and a period of accelerated deal
of the agenda.

School for Texas principals start
at A&M with look at techniques
By Gina Goetz
Reporter
Many Texas principals headed back to school Sunday
"nit
for another round of hitting the books.
The annual Principals’ Center Summer Academy is
being conducted this week, and offers principals a look
at new techniques and an in-depth look at current edu
cational legislation.
Dr. David Erlandson, head of the Department of Ed
ucational Administration, said that he feels principals
play an important role and that his department’s na
tionally recognized program offers principals an excel
lent opportunity to improve their craft.
“We’ve tried to take the principal and tried to give
that person a feeling of mastery of what he or she is
doing,” Erlandson said. “We want to make that person
feel that he or she is in control.”
Erlandson has used the experiences he gained while
a junior high school principal in Illinois to try to im
prove the school system by supporting and encouraging
principals.
“OI all the positions I have had, this is the one I felt
was the most important,” Erlandson said. “It seemed I
was having the most effective work as a principal.”
The Principals’ Center was established in 1985 to
support Texas elementary and secondary school princi
pals through training, assistance and research.
Each summer, principals from around the state at
tend a week-long session on the A&M campus.
Each participant attends classes and seminars
through Friday. During two of these days, all partici
pants examine possible future directions in education
During the three remaining days, the principals^
ticipate in one of four programs that focus on ex]
ing administrative ideas and exploring roles.
The Management Profile Program is designed
low the principals to evaluate strengths and weakness
in their management skills.
The administrator’s “management profile” is o:
tured in a 30-minute videotaped interview that later
assessed. The principals receive recommendations
strengthen their skills.
The Wellness Program offers healthy activities
strategies for better living. It focuses on the concepts
wellness, a thorough fitness evaluation and the®
opment of an action plan for the local campus.
“This program pays off for the school districts
invest in it,” Erlandson said. “By getting this prot
going, there is less absenteeism and it helps the a d»' 1
rstrators feel good.”
The New Principal Program is designed to meeti!
needs of the rookie administrator. The participai
work with experienced and successful principals to®
tain insights into the profession and to discuss the sir*
egies irtvolved in becoming a successful administratoi
“We’re just shepherding the new into the profc
sion,” Erlandson said. “But on the opposite end old
spectrum, we’re looking at the good, experiencedpii)
cipals.”
These experienced principals may choose to partt
pate in the Mentor Program. This program prom
principals an opportunity to share and discuss tlifl
leadership skills as well as their administrative pi®
lems.
