member of this role.
tachment 805 will produce 72 commissioned Air
Force officers this year.
Capt. Kevin R. Gamache, assistant professor of
aerospace studies, said he and 10 other profes
sors of military science sent a letter to Clements
asking him to consider declaring the day so that
all Texans could celebrate the honor.
“We sent the letter and on Sept. 8 members of
other statewide programs and A&M went to Aus
tin where Governor Clements signed the procla
mation,” Gamache said.
He said A&M has the largest Air Force ROTC
unit in the country with 687 cadets and that De-
Jay Rosser, deputy press secretary for the gov
ernor, said Clements is not scheduled to appear
in any related events but programs statewide in
cluding units at Southwest Texas State University
and the University of Texas, and A&M also has
activities scheduled.

BhARGILL (AP) —- Federal
agents said Thursday they have
seized more than a ton of mari
juana and five airplanes at a pri
vate South Texas airstrip they
suspect of being a staging area for
distributing the drug to other
parts of the country.
K “The airport, we believe, was
used to bring in shipments from
Mexico,” said James Castillo, resi
dent agent in charge of the Drug
Enforcement Administration’s
Brownsville office.
h A 26-year-old Mexican pilot
was arrested in connection with
the Wednesday-night raid at Fil-
igonia Airport near the Lower
Rio Grande Valley farming town
of Hargill, about 30 miles north
of the Mexican border, officials
said.
m Federal agents obtained a fed
eral search warrant for the air- 1
port after Border Patrol agents
reported suspicious activity, said
Oran Neck, agent in charge of
the U.S. Customs office in
Brownsville.
Activity that attracted the Bor
der Patrol’s attention was the
sight of “airplanes touching and
going in and out of there,” Neck
■said.
HOUSTON (AP) — A proposed
controversial change in the affilia
tion agreement between Houston’s
Hermann Hospital and the Univer
sity of Texas Medical School left five
department chairmen at the school
fired and two more resigning in pro
test.
John C. Ribble, dean of the medi
cal school, told a faculty meeting
Wednesday the five were let go for
protesting changes that would give
the hospital more control in select
ing department heads in the medical
school.
The usual practice is for chairmen
of the 14 medical school depart
ments at the university also to head
the clinical services at the hospital.
Both the school and the hospital
are part of the Medical Center com
plex in Houston.
Eleven department heads at the
school sent a letter to Charles Mul
lins, executive vice chancellor for
health affairs for the University of
Texas system.
school asked the 11 to retract the ul
timatum.
“Some recanted, some did not,”
he said.
Physicians out as department
chairmen include Thomas E. An-
dreoli, internal medicine; Joseph C.
Gabel, anesthesiology; Stewart Sell,
pathology and laboratory medicine;
R. Rodney Howell, pediatrics; and
Louis A. Falliace, psychiatry and be-
havorial sciences and executive di
rector of the Harris County Psychi
atric Center.
In addition, Robert K. Creasy,
chairman of the department of ob
stetrics and gynecology, and Robert
E. Jordon, dermatology, are re
signing in protest.
Hospital officials said all seven,
however, are tenured professors and
would remain as teachers and treat
patients at the hospital despite the
firings.
In the letter, they threatened to
resign if the proposed changes be
tween the university and the hospital
were not rescinded.
Ribble said the letter circum
vented usual protocol and threat
ened hospital negotiations so the
Faculty members complain top
professors of medicine will not be at
tracted to the school if they cannot
be assured that a department
chairmanship also will mean they
can head a clinical department at the
hospital.
Flermann Hospital has been affil
iated with the university since 1968.
Ribble said the hospital now wants
some influence in the appointment
of its chiefs.
“It’s important to feel that people
who are a very important part of
your institution have your best inter
est at heart,” he said.
The chief executive officer at the
hospital, Jeptha Dalston, said tough
competition for patient dollars
prompted the hospital to initiate
talks that led to the proposed change
in its relationship with the univer
sity.
“The agreement is 20 years old
and outdated,” he said.
“We’re not guys with white hats
and black hats,” he said. “Both sides
are wearing white hats. We’ve just
been pushed together on this by the
recession.
“It is true that economics plays a
substantial part of what we are doing
but it is not motivated by economics
alone.”
The change in the agreement still
needs the approval of the school’s
board of regents and the hospital
board.
Ribble said the hospital and the
school would make every effort to
see that department heads hold both
positions at the school and the hospi
tal.
