Educators
may move
convention
DALLAS (AP) — The Texas State
Teachers Association is threatening
to move its convention scheduled for
Dallas next March, officials say.
The group wants Dallas school
district officials to allow teachers to
go to the meeting on school time.
Until last year, Dallas school offi
cials allowed teachers to use profes
sional development time, which al
lows them to draw salaries, to attend
the TSTA convention. A school at
torney last year found a 1979 state
attorney general’s opinion that he
said makes it illegal for district offi
cials to pay teachers while they at
tend the convention.
The association has a July 1 letter
from Attorney General Jim Mattox
that says “an entity and program
that contributes to the purpose of
education serves a public and gov
ernmental purpose. The value and
the importance of the programs you
refer to cannot be doubted.”
The Dallas affiliate of the TSTA,
the Classroom Teachers of Dallas,
has requested that its national orga
nization, the National Education As
sociation, consider moving its 1990
convention from Dallas.
“We are trying to put some pres
sure on the school board to give the
teachers some rights,” said Gene Ep
person, president of the Classroom
Teachers of Dallas.
Alphi Phi Omega fraternity
raises $10,000 to fight MDA
how byJirj
By Karen Lawson
Reporter
BTwo Texas A&M students joined
Jerry Lewis in San Diego, Calif, on
Labor Day to present him with a
$10,000 check for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association.
■Barbara Uridales and Ken Pecus,
|of[ A&M’s chapter of Alpha Phi
tega, joined Lewis for the annual
r-studded event, but the entire
imbership of the University serv
ice fraternity joined Lewis in his
fight against MDA by raising the
much-needed money.
The fraternity’s members raised
the money for the telethon last
spring through a benefit concert
given by the Singing Cadets, a
dance-a-thon and solicitation of do
nations around campus.
The dance-a-thon, which is held
every year, raised the most money,
Urdiales said.
The fraternity’s original goal of
$25,000 would have allowed them to
appear on the telethon. But because
A&M chapter’s $10,000 was the
most money raised by any Alpha Phi
Omega chapter in the nation, the lo
cal chapter earned the TV spot.
Urdiales and Pecus, co-chairmen
of the fundraising projects, were
chosen to represent the chapter at
the telethon. The telethon paid all
expenses for Urdiales and accomo
dations for Pecus. A fundraiser was
held the weekend before the tele
thon to raise money to pay for Pecus’
accommodations.
Urdiales said it was scary being on
stage with Jerry Lewis knowing that
millions of people were watching
her.
CLU joins with foreign students
to battle Arlington public schools
■ ARLINGTON (AP) — The
American Civil Liberties Union has
[joined with parents of foreign stu
dents in a fight with the Arlington
public schools.
■ School system officials say that
parents attending the University of
plfexas at Arlington who are not per-
■anent residents must pay tuition
for their youngsters to attend public
school.
B The ACLU plans to file suit on be
half of the families.
B“We believe the school district is
acting in a disgraceful fashion, vio
lating the U.S. Constitution and the
llradition of American public educa-
tibn as well,” said Jim Baerwaldt, an
associate professor of psychology at
UTA and board member of the
ACLU’s Greater Fort Worth affil
iate. “I’m mad as hell and getting
madder every day.”
The district plans to charge $275
a month for elementary students
and $300 a month for secondary stu
dents.
School officials decided last fall to
delay enforcement of the policy until
U.S. District Judge David O. Belew
made a decision on the matter. Baer
waldt said the ACLU suit will be
filed in Belew’s court.
Baerwaldt and the ACLU say the
students should be considered resi
dents because they live in Arlington
and already pay school property
taxes.
re paying i
amount of taxes you pay is irrele
vant,” he said at a meeting Wednes
day with some of the parents.
He urged parents to decide soon
whether to join the case.
“We have to work fast to get this
together over the weekend,” he said.
One of those attending the meet
ing said he was glad of the help.
“I think we are all grateful to have
someone like the ACLU willing to
work on this,” Mohan Reddy told
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
“It is nice to have someone to help
us in a foreign land,” said Reddy, an
electrical engineering graduate stu
dent from India who has a child in
the second grade.
