WASHINGTON (AP) — Lauro
Cavazos’ father always stressed the
importance of education to his three
boys growing up in the untamed
brushland of the renowned King
Ranch.
See related story, page 1
The strength of that message took
Cavazos all the way to the White
House, where President Reagan on
Tuesday nominated him to succeed
William Bennett as U.S. Secretary of
Education.
Cavazos, 61, has devoted most of
his life to educating himself and oth
ers, becoming the first Hispanic
president of Texas Tech University
and its medical school. That post
makes him head of the nation’s larg
est higher educational institution
run by a Hispanic.
“I have pushed hard on that, es
pecially with minority groups,” Cav
azos has said.
“I am convinced education is the
key to many things. If you have suf
ficient education, you can solve most
any problem in the world. Famine.
Ecological problems. Nuclear prob
lems. Racism. They’re all solved with
education.”
At Tech, Cavazos paid special at
tention to minority education. He
oversaw the creation of a special of
fice to handle minority student
problems and increased efforts to
recruit and retain minorities. He.
regulary gave speeches on the im
portance of curtailing the skyrocket-
Democratic ticket
excites politicians
around Dixieland
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen’s presence at the top
of the ticket has helped energize
conservative Democratic leaders
around the South who in past elec
tions kept their distance from the
presidential nominee.
Some congressional Democrats
say nominee Michael Dukakis but
tressed his standing with the conser
vative wing of the party by picking
Bentsen, a three-term senator from
Texas with a record of being pro
business and pro-defense, as his run
ning mate.
Other factors play into the sup
port Dukakis is apparently gathering
across the South — part is the ab
sence of President Reagan from the
ticket and part is the candidate him
self, say some Democrats who per
ceive Dukakis as a tough and astute
manager.
“For the first time in modern his
tory, the nominee moved to the right
in selecting his running mate,” said
Rep. Charles Stenholm, a conserva
tive Texan who can be considered
the “head boll weevil” in the House.
“It’s what we always ask for and fi-
nallv received.
1 know of no candidate . . . for
Congress who is running awav from
the ticket,” said Stenholm, who re
members other election years when
Democrats would not even appear
on the same platform as the presi
dential nominee.
Although Stenholm supported
previous Democratic tickets lor pres
ident, he “couldn’t influence one
vote,” he said Monday.
Evidence of similar support is dot
ted around Dixie — Sen. David Bo
ren wants to campaign with Dukakis t
and Bentsen if they come to Okla
homa and Georgia Gov. |oe Frank
Harris says he’s .willing to serve in
any capacity on the campaign.
Rep. Marvin Leath of Texas says
he’s excited about a Democratic
ticket for the first time in vears.
Sens. Bennett Johnston of Louisiana
and Sam Nunn of Georgia sav
they’re confident Dukakis-Bentsen
can deliver the W’hite House to the
Democrats, and Rep. Charlie Wilson
of Texas is ready to start cam
paigning.
But Texas Republican Part)
Chairman Fred Meyer says “that’s all
political rhetoric . . . They’re doing it
for political expediency.”
Federal reserve gives
boost to lending rate
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Federal Reserve Board, in a move to
fight inflation, said Tuesday it was
boosting its key bank lending rate
for the first time in nearly a year.
Analysts said other interest rates
likely would head higher as a result.
With only three months left be
fore the presidential election, the
board members, all appointed by
President Reagan, sent a dramatic
signal that they were willing to push
up interest rates to dampen infla
tionary pressures even at the risk of
endangering Vice President George
Bush’s presidential aspirations.
The increase in the discount rate,
from 6 percent to 6.5 percent, was
adopted by a 6-0 vote and took effect
immediately. It was the first change
since Sept. 4 and put the rate at its
highest in more than two years.
An increase in the discount rate,
which is the fee the Fed charges for
short-term loans to member banks,
is the central bank’s most direct way
of pushing interest rates higher as a
curb on economic growth.
Economists said jumps in other in
terest rates, including those on mort
gage rates and credit cards, are likely
to follow.
“This will hit consumer pocket-
books fairly soon,” said David Jones,
an economist with Aubrey G. Lan-
ston, a government securities dealer
in New York.
He said banks likely will raise their
prime rate, the interest they charge
their most creditworthy commercial
customers, this week or next.
Since May, banks have raised their
prime rate by a full point to 9.5 per
cent, the highest since March 1986.

During his tenure, Hispanic en
rollment increased from 3.6 percent
in 1980 to 6.3 percent in 1987. Black
enrollment edged up from 1.85 per
cent to 2.4 percent during the same
period.
Despite his soft-spoken, friendly
demeanor and good organizational
skills, Cavazos was sometimes crit
icized for being stretched too thin in
running both the university and its
medical school.
Dr. Bernard Mittemeyer, exec
utive vice president of Tech’s Health
Sciences Center, said Cavazos was al
ways easy to work with, but occasion
ally difficult to get track down.

—
House approves drought relief plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House approved a $3.9 billion aid
package for drought-stricken
farmers Tuesday and sent the
measure to President Reagan,
who made known he intends to
sign it.
“We have kept the faith,”
House Agriculture Committee
Chairman E. “Kika” de la Garza,
D-Texas, said as the House ap
proved the bill, 383-18. “To all
who will be helped by this legis
lation, our promise has been
kept.”
The House devoted only brief
debate to the measure, which
emerged from a House-Senate
co ference committee last week
and won Senate approval on
Monday. Congress raced to pm
die legislation on Reagan’s desl
before it begins a tnree-wetk
break Friday.
Presidential spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater told reporters hours
earlier there was no doubt Rea
gan will sign the measure.
Provisions call for governmem
payments to farmers who have
lost more than 35 percent of their
crops liecause of drought, hail,
excessive moisture or related
damage, such as that caused bi
insects. The payments would be
equal to 65 percent of their losses
over the 35 percent threshhold
level.
House approves tariff-free trade pad
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House voted overwhelmingly
Tuesday to sweep away most tar
iffs and a wide array of other bar
riers to the annual $166 billion
trade in goods and services be
tween the United States and Can
ada.
“We have a bill here, in short,
in which everyone gains and no
one loses,” Rep. William Frenzel,
R-Minn., said as the House ap
proved 366-40 and sent to the
Senate the free-trade agreement
signed by President Reagan and
Canadian Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney last January.
The measure would authorize
the president to phase out most
tariffs between the two countries
over the next 10 years, and ap
proves elimination of a wide
range of other trade barriers un
tier the pact.
Many lawmakers said such a
free-trade zone is needed as a
counterbalance to European
Common Market protectionism,
Counterpart legislation is
stalled in Canada’s appointive
Senate, where it is encountering
Liberal Party opposition.
The agreement does not set up
a common market between the
United States and Canada. Thai
would mean adopting common
tariffs on imports from third
cou n tries.
Beryl weakens, raises hopes for rain
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —Trop
ical Storm Beryl weakened Tues
day after moving inland, leaving
one person missing in the Gulf of
Mexico but raising hopes that the
storm’s remnants could bring
rain to drought-stricken Midwest
farmers.
The Coast Guard rescued six
people who endured two days of
wind and rain on an island after
high seas prevented them from
returning to the mainland.
There was virtually no damage
in southern Louisiana except for
some spot flooding and tree limbs
blown down. Scattered damage
was reported in southern Missis
sippi, including downed tree
limbs and scattered power out
ages.
In New Orleans, where prepa
rations continued for next week's
Republican National Convention,
few problems developed from the
storm.
Critics lukewarm to ‘Last temptation’
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.
(AP) — Film critics gave a luke
warm reception Tuesday to ‘T he
Last Temptation of Christ,” a
new interpretation of the life of
Jesus that has been denounced,

The film, which opens to the
public Friday, depicts Jesus as a
troubled, guilt-ridden man
