Sessions to explain
Open Records Act
By Alan Sembera
Senior Staff Writer
Texas A&M students, faculty and ad
ministrators can learn more about the
public’s right to gain access to govern
ment records and meetings at a sympo
sium to be presented Saturday in 201
MSC.
Attorneys from the State Bar of Texas
will present the seminars to educate gov
ernment officials and the public about
the Texas Open Meetings Act and the
Texas Open Records Act.
The panel discussion will begin at 11
a.m. and will be followed by a luncheon
at 12:30 p.m.
Howard Swindle, assistant managing
editor of the Dallas Morning News, will
be the featured speaker at the luncheon.
Swindle edited and directed the pa
per’s 1986 Pulitzer Prize winning project
on segregation and unequal treatment in
federally subsidized housing.
The acts, passed in 1973 and 1974, are
designed to prohibit governmental bod
ies from closing meetings to the public
and to guarantee public access to most
government records.
He also is on the board of directors of
the Freedom of Information Foundation
of Texas, which is co-sponsoring the
symposium with the Texas State Bar.
The sessions, which will begin at 8:45
a.m., will review the information cov
ered by the laws, how the courts are in
terpreting the laws, and what power jour
nalists and the public have to enforce the
laws.
The symposium also will feature a
panel of local government officials and
media professionals who will discuss hy
pothetical cases involving violations and
circumventions of the Texas Freedom of
Information laws.
Nancy Monson, executive director of
the foundation, said the symposium is
the fourth in a series of six being held
around the state to educate journalists,
government officials and the public
about their right to gain access to public
information.
Educating and informing the public is
the foundation's major purpose, she
said.
The panel will consist of James Bond,
deputy chancellor for legal and external
affairs for A&M; Robert Borden, assis
tant city editor for the Bryan-College
Station Eagle] James Braun, news direc
tor for KBTX-TV of Bryan; and Dick
Holmgreen, county judge.
“They have a right to know what their
government’s doing,” she said. “Over
the years, many government officials
have found it easier not to tell the public
what’s going on. That’s undemocratic.”
The symposium is open to the public.
The morning seminars are free, but the
luncheon costs $15.
Anyone interested in attending should
make reservations with the Freedom of
Information Foundation by calling (214)
977-6651.
‘For Crying Out Loud’
will perform at benefit
Texas A&M’s Students Against
Apartheid will sponsor a benefit concert
at Eastgate Live Friday night to raise
funds for needy families in South Africa.
For Crying Out Loud, a local band
which plays rock and roll with a slightly
satirical edge, is scheduled to perform
between 9 and 10 p.m. Cover charge for
the concert will be $3.
SAA president Jeff Dyess said the or
ganization will use all proceeds from the
concert to help needy families in South
Africa through a contribution to the Af
rica Fund, an American organization that
helps families in South Africa with dona
tions of food, shelter and clothing.
Dyess said the benefit is different from
any of SAA’s other activities because it
actually will help people in South Africa,
rather than just making a statement of
protest.
“This is something we haven’t really
done in the past, but it’s something that
we can really do to help all the people
that are suffering in South Africa,”
Dyess said. “What we’ve done in the
past has gotten us a lot of publicity and
attention, but now we’re actually doing
something that is actually helping.”
The most familiar of SAA’s actions is
the shanty the group has built in front of
the Academic Building several times
during the last two semesters.
Organization members say the main
purpose of the shanties is to make people
aware of the plight of South African
blacks.
Texan donates money
to hurricane victims
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas philanthro
pist William Barrett is contributing
$100,000 and hopes to raise as much as a
half-million dollars more to provide shel
ter for thousands of Mexicans left home
less last month by Hurricane Gilbert.
“Texas prepared for the storm that
could have wiped out thousands of
homes and businesses along our own
coast and even beyond. We got lucky,”
Barrett said.
“Mexico did not,” he said.
Barrett, who kicked off the Good
Neighbor Fund at a news conference
Wednesday, said that during a weekend
visit to Mexico, church and government
officials told him about 500,000 Mexi
cans need housing in the states of Camp
eche, Nuevo Leon, Quintana Roo and
Yucatan.
Barrett, who hopes to raise $250,000
to $500,000 in the next two months, said
Catholic Charities of Dallas will collect
funds locally and turn them over to Cari-
tas, a Mexican charity supervising repair
and construction of new homes.
