Texas moderates
hope to influence
Southern Baptists
FORT WORTH (AP) — Fresh
from victories at the state-level con
vention, Texas moderate Baptists
said Wednesday they hope to carry
their campaign to the fundamental
ist controlled national Southern
Baptist Convention.
“Local Baptists are beginning to
wake up to the fact that they’ve been
hoodwinked, and the tide has
turned,” the Rev. John Leland Berg
of West Oaks Baptist Church in
Houston said.
T uesday the convention elected
moderate-backed Rev. Dick Maples
of Bryan as first vice president. The
convention elected independent
Rev. Joel Gregory of Fort Worth as
president and moderate Leobardo
Estrada of El Paso as second vice
president.
Fundamentalists had put up a
candidate for first vice president,
but after Maples won easily, the sec
ond candidate was unopposed.
Wednesday the Baptist General
Convention of Texas passed by voice
vote a motion affirming support of
the Baptist Joint Committee, a
Washington D C.-based coalition for
First Amendment issues that has
drawn fire from fundamentalists.
The fundamentalist-controlled
Public Affairs Committee has re
quested that the SBC cut off funding
for the Joint Committee.
Wednesday’s motion addresses
that possibility, giving Texas Baptist
officials permission to continue sup
port for the Joint Committee.
“We know the value of religious
liberty in Texas, and we don’t want
to see the ‘jointness’ of our work in
Washington be lost to a group that is
more interested in endorsing indi
viduals and carrying out a secular
political agenda than they are in de
fending the traditions of our Baptist
faith and belief,” Berg said.
“They were solidly beaten yester
day,” Berg said of the fundamental
ists.
However, fundamentalists said
the win might be short-lived. The
Rev. James Draper of Euless, a for
mer SBC president who is aligned
with the fundamentalists, said he
does not believe any serious inroads
were made for control of the na
tional denomination.
Another key resolution recom
mends that Baptist bodies refrain
from endorsing or opposing candi
dates for public office. If approved,
that resolution will be sent on to the
executive committee of the SBC.
Many Baptists were angered ear
lier this year when the national Pub
lic Affairs Committee decided to en
dorse former Supreme Court
nominee Robert Bork. Some local
associations objected, passing resolu
tions supporting the separation of
church and state.
Moderate Neal Rodgers said the
Bork endorsement spurred some
Texas laymen to act at this conven
tion.
“For many here in Texas ... it was
the last straw,” he said, noting that
Texas Baptists have a particularly
close relationship with the Joint
Committee, which represents several
different Baptist groups.
Rodgers, executive director of the
moderate group Laity for the Bap
tist Faith and Message, pointed to
other moderate victories in state
conventions in Louisiana, Georgia
and North Carolina as examples of a
grass-roots turnaround.
Fundamentalists have been bat
tling for control of the SBC since
1979 and now control the top posi
tions.
“What has happened this week is
that laymen, Baptist laymen, have
risen up and said, ‘Enough is
enough,’ ” Rodgers said.

Researchers at A&M design program
to help track students’performance
By Janie Bird
Reporter
A computer program being devel
oped and tested by the Texas Engi
neering Experiment Station at
Texas A&M will enable teachers to
make detailed lesson plans and track
student performance.
Three Central Texas school dis
tricts of different sizes are helping
the experiment station with the de
velopment of the “HeadMaster”
program, which began at the sta-
tion’s Education and Technology di
vision in 1984.
“Teachers and principals worked
with us to design the system,” says
Dr. Michael L. Burger, director of
the Learning Technology Center in
the College of Education.
Six teachers in the Judson, Nava-
sota and Milano school districts are
using the instructional management
system, which has the capability to
retain students’ names and past per
formances and keeps a record of the
state curriculum guide.
HeadMaster also keeps record of
what courses are taught and what
teaching resources are available.
The activities of each teacher now
using the program are monitored by
experiment station researchers, Bur
ger says.
Experiment station research assis
tant Brian McDermott says teachers’
responses to the program have been
good.
“One teacher, who has been tea
ching 14 years, says this is the first
time she’s used the state curriculum
guide in making her daily lesson
plans,” McDermott says.
Another advantage of the system
is its capability to collect information
that otherwise would be missed in a
classroom environment, he says.
From the administrative stand
point, McDermott says, educators
can use HeadMaster to keep a re
cord of attendance and discipline in
the schools.
Administrators also can monitor
how teachers use educational re
sources and information to develop
)b<
By
thei
training programs, he says.
McDermott and his colleagui
hope to market HeadMaster nadoi Sex
