District judge plans to fight retirement HOUSTON (AP) — State District Judge William Hatten says he wouldn’t enjoy retirement and he doesn’t intend to try it. Mandatory retirement, however, is what Hatten faces when he turns 75 on Aug. 26, 1988 — four months before his term expires. “There are people who enjoy re tirement,” Hatten said. “I can’t do it.” Instead, the judge wants to com plete his term and run for re-elec tion. So Hatten, who acquired the nick name “Wild Bill” after he became a judge, filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking to invalidate the mandatory retirement provision in the state constitution. “The big problem here is that a person is presumed to be senile at 75,” Hatten said. “I resent this not only for myself but for other people my age. This should be a class-action suit.” The colorful jurist began his judi cial career when he was appointed to a court of domestic relations bench in 1964. He was appointed to a crim inal court bench in 1971. Two years ago, he helped chase an escaped convict down several flights of courthouse stairs. In the early 1970s, he grew his stark-white hair to shoulder length, wanting to see how it felt and how people would react. As far as physical fitness goes, Hatten said he walks a mile and a half daily and does odd jobs at his home and rental property. “I’ve never been sick a day in my life,” he said. Named in the suit is Secretary of State Jack M. Rains, who oversees elections. The suit asks for a tempo rary injunction to prevent Hatten’s seat from being declared vacant. Hatten also asks that a judge de clare that the law violates the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitu tion. He claims in the suit that the re tirement age discriminates against those over 75.

Prosecutors have discounted Sessum’s testimony be cause the janitor, an alcoholic who can neither read nor write, has changed his story several times. Robinson’s name surfaced when his former com mon-law wife, Brenda Medina, told defense attorneys a year ago that in 1980 he told her of killing a girl and needing to get out of town quickly. In testimony Thursday, Robinson said his statement came during an argument with Medina in June 1980. “I said I killed one bitch and I’m going to kill an other,” he said. But Robinson has said he made the statement only to scare Medina. On Thursday, he denied killing Miss Fer geson. “Did you have any part of the abduction, rape and murder of Cheryl Fergeson on Aug. 23, 1980?” Assis tant District Attorney Rick Stover asked him. “No, sir,” Robinson replied. Robinson said he drew his last paycheck from the Conroe school district on Aug. 5 and left Texas two days later. A sister, Debbie Clardy, of Greenville, S.C., testified Robinson was present at her daughter’s birthday party Aug. 17, 1980. An uncle, Odis Salters, also of Green ville, said Robinson had remained in South Carolina and was there the following weekend when the slaying occurred in Texas.

Heather Rust, a finance major, spent the summer working in Lon don for British Gas. “I heard about this program my freshman year and always wanted to be a member,” Rust said. Other members of the program held internships in Houston and Dallas. Some went to Detroit, some to Mexico and some as far away as Hong Kong. Alter the internships, students meet once a week to start an in- depth study of a single organization, Keehan said. This year the group is studying American General of Houston, the- fourth-largest insur ance company in the United States. The students are divided into six groups for business simulations, Keehan said. Schoenfeldt said this part of the program helps the students learn co operation skills. “The group is like a family of 40 people doing different things,” he said. “We have the same dis agreements and issues a family would have.” Once the students are finished with the program, they will have many contacts and should have the self-confidence to sit and talk with anyone in business, Schoenfeldt said.
