Judges respond following TV report on donations to judges’ campaigns AUSTIN (AP) — The next chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court said Monday in response to a net work television report on contribu tions by lawyers to the campaigns of Supreme Court judges that justice “should not be for sale nor should it appear to be for sale.” The controversy drew the scru tiny of CBS’ “60 Minutes” show Sun day night. Houston Judge Thomas Phillips, designated by Gov. Bill Clements as chief justice upon the departure of John Hill next month, responded to the show Monday. “To restore public confidence in our courts, we must have judicial re form. Reform means changing the method of selecting judges,” Phillips said in a statement. “Reform means limiting the size of campaign contributions made to judges. I will work to restore the public’s faith in the integrity of our judicial system by advocating change and by limiting my own campaign donations to reasonable amounts from a broad base of contributors,” he said. Meanwhile, a Republican House member who heads the judiciary committee said the justices involved in the television show should resign. Rep. Mike Toomey, R-Houston, said Democratic Justices C.L. Ray, William Kilgarlin, Ted Robertson and Oscar Mauzy “looked more like a collection of desperadoes from the ‘Rogues Gallery’ than members of the Texas Supreme Court.” “The national audience watching ‘60 Minutes’ could not believe their eyes and ears: The story line was crystal clear,” Toomey said. “Camp aign contributions are influencing judicial decisions. That is an absolute outrage. It’s an embarrassment.” Responding, Mauzy said Toomey was in no position to make such charges. “Mr. Toomey didn’t appoint me to this court,” Mauzy said. “The peo ple of Texas elected me to it. I in tend to live up to that contract with the people of this state.” As for Toomey’s allegation that Mauzy and the others looked like “desperadoes,” Mauzy said, “He’s in a better position to know what des peradoes look like than I am since I assume he looks in the mirror every morning to shave.” Clements’ press secretary, Reggie Bashur, said the report “was a real eye-opener for the general public in terms of the court and the lack of in tegrity and credibility.” “It is clearly a tremendous embar rassment to the state, and I think it will contribute to a mounting groundswell among people who are going to push for changes on the court,” Bashur added. Judge denies delay request in hearing FORT WORTH (AP) — A fed eral judge on Monday denied an NAACP request to delay and ex pand a hearing on the desegrega tion busing plan for Fort Worth schools. U.S. District Judge Eldon Ma hon said he scheduled Monday’s hearing so he could review the busing issue — not because par ties in the city’s 28-year-old de segregation lawsuit asked for it. Leon Haley, attorney for the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People, told Mahon the group needs more time to gather evidence. Haley asked Mahon to set a later date to hear all the issues in volved in the integration of Fort Worth schools. A&M works to expand research with telecommunications industry By Kimberly House Staff Writer Texas A&M research is collabo rating with telecommunications in dustries to see what they are doing in new technology and to let them see what the University can do, said Dr. Jerry Gibson, director of the Tele communications, Control and Signal Processing Research Center. He said interaction will help trans fer research results into products. “This is a big program in the Col lege of Engineering,” he said. A&M researchers, industry tele communications leaders, govern ment officials and students will dis cuss new technologies and applications in the telecommunica tions field Tuesday and Wednesday in Rudder Tower. The Telecommunications, Con trol and Signal Processing Research Center is sponsoring the discussion. People interested in attending the discussion can register in 510 Rud der. Gibson said the symposium will provide interaction between the University and industries. He said universities and the tele communications industry need col laboration and cooperation, or “technology transfer,” to present and exchange ideas. “Thirty-five presentations from industries, faculty and students will cover topics of signal-processing ap plications, image processing and concepts, computer communication networks, speech-processing appli cations, knowledge-based signal processing and digital communica tions,” Gibson said. Gibson said the meeting will pro vide a good chance to let the indus try see the University’s faculty and students in action. NEED MONEY???

He said since universities and tele communications industries are iso lated from each other, conferences let both know about new ideas and findings. They also let the interested people know what is happening in the high-tech industry, he said. And they might attract industries that may be interested in funding re search at A&M, he said. “We want to show industries that we can help them, so they will help us,” Gibson said.
