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.

The symposium is open to the
public, but Gibson said the language
and concepts will be highly special
ized and the general audience may
not understand much of it.
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.
Companies participating in the
meeting are Texas Instruments, E-
Systems Inc., Rockwell Interna
tional, Recognition Equipment, Elec
trospace Systems Inc., MIT Lincoln
Laboratories and Sandia National
Laboratories.
