Water panel
considers
tighter rules
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Wa
ter Commission is considering more
stringent surface-water quality stan
dards for the state.
The proposed standards, along
with a strong emphasis on enforce
ment and permit programs, “will go
a long way toward assuring the peo
ple of Texas of continued availability
of good-quality water without cre
ating unnecessary or unreasonable
economic burdens,” Executive Di
rector Larry Soward said Monday.
The “significant” costs of imple
menting some of the proposals “are
reasonably balanced with the re
sponsibility to ensure surface-water
quality protection for the state,” he
said.
The proposals include devel
opment and implementation of stan
dards on toxic substances, increased
emphasis on standards for intermit
tent streams and imposition of more
stringent bacteriological limits in
smaller streams and rivers.
Also included is the establishment
of a policy for intermittent streams
and unclassified waters that may re
quire higher levels of wastewater
treatment in many areas.

Additional protection also is being
proposed for rivers and streams with
high-quality water.
Seventeen additional stream seg
ments have been added for classifi
cation and modifications in uses and
criteria are proposed for 62 existing
segments.
No uses are downgraded in any
classified segment.
A public nearing on the proposed
standards has been scheduled for
Nov. 24 in Austin.
The Texas Water Commission has
sole authority to establish water-
quality standards for the state.
Surface-water quality standards
are established every three years un
der state and federal laws.

College anticipates contract losses
after questions rise about trip costs
KILLEEN (AP) — Central 1 exas
College officials believe the college
will lose millions of dollars in lost
contracts because of questions about
some travel expenses' and a possible
conflict of interest with a travel
agency.
“It’s been devastating,” said Phil
lip R. Swartz, president of American
Educational Complex, which gov
erns the college. “We’ve lost three
contracts in the last few weeks be
cause of this.”
Questions have arisen involving
the amount of travel business
booked through a local travel agency
partially owned by Swartz’s daugh
ter, Kasey Morrarty.
The travel expenses of Chancellor
Luis B. Morton Jr., including
$33,000 in taxi fares for one year,
are also being questioned.
“What good would it do?” Swartz
replied when asked by the Houston
Post for comment about the possible
conflict of interest.
The complex’s board ordered an
investigation and both men were
cleared of wrongdoing.
But Texas Higher Education
Commissioner Kenneth Ashworth
has asked the state attorney general’s
office and the state audit committee
to investigate.
Attorney general spokesman Ron
Dusek said the attorney general’s of
fice has requested additional infor
mation for review before deciding
whether to conduct an official inves
tigation of the college’s travel ex
penses or use of the travel agency.
Swartz and Morton were not im
mediately available for comment.
Bill Alexander, spokesman for the
American Educational Complex,
told the Associated Press Monday.
Antonio V. Suarez-Barrio, exec
utive dean of the College’s criminal
science division, said his investiga
tion found nothing wrong.
“There’s no love of Phil Swartz
here,” Suarez-Barrio said. “He’s the
boss and he’s not a likeable guy. But
he was right.”
Suarez-Barrio said Swartz is an
employee and cannot make policy at
the school.
In addition, the college used Mor-
rarty’s Casa Blanca Tours and
Travel about 75 percent of the time
in the last year, the same percentage
the agency was used in the years be
fore Morrarty bought it.
Central Texas has campuses in va
rious parts of the world and serves
about 250,000 students, mostly on
military bases.
Morton runs up high taxi fares
because he travels extensively in
pursuit of more students and gov
ernment and industry contracts,
Suarez-Barrio said.
“Dr. Morton might be meeting
with a dozen people at one place and
he picks up their taxi fares to and
from his hotel,” Barrio said.
“Of course, one man couldn’t
have $33,000 worth of taxi bills and
one man didn’t,” he said. “Some
times he might have 10 different
people or 10 different taxis.”
But questions persist and Suarez-
Barrio estimates the college has al
ready lost $200,000 in lost faculty
time caused by the investigation.
The college provides a police aca
demy for several surrounding coun
ties but the September class had to
be dropped so Suarez-Barrio could
head the investigation, he said.

Court says SMU cannot seek NCAA records
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme
Court ruled Monday that Southern Methodist
University cannot take part in a lawsuit seeking
NCAA records of its investigation into the re
cruiting scandal that eventually cost SMU its
football program.
The suit was filed in 1985 against the NCAA
and the Southwest Conference by Belo Broad
casting Corp. and its reporter, Carole Kneeland
ofWFAA-TV. The Dallas Morning News and
the Dallas Times Herald later joined the suit
against the NCAA and the SWC.
The court, without comment, refused to let
SMU intervene as a defendant with the National
Collegiate Athletic Association and the SWC in
their effort to keep certain records from the
news media. The university had sought to make
its own arguments why the records should be
kept private.
The news organizations, seeking NCAA re
cords since 1980 of football recruiting practices
at SMU, said the Texas Open Records Act re
quired disclosure of the material that the groups
refused to release.
The university said disclosure would violate
rights of privacy and academic freedom and ar
gued that the NCAA and SWC would not rep
resent its interests adequately if the records were
released.
But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
handed down a ruling saying that the NCAA
and the SWC “have the same ultimate objective
as SMU ... to prevent disclosure of the docu
ments.”
SMU was rocked by scandal last winter and
spring when the NCAA suspended the school’s
1987 football season and part of the team’s 1988
season in the harshest penalty ever given a col
lege football program. SMU officials later
canceled the remainder of the 1988 football sea
son.
The NCAA cited SMU for making $61,000 in
illicit payments to 13 current or former football
players.
