Film to explore Switzerland’s beauty By Chuck Lovejoy Staff Writer The beauty and charm of Switzer land will come alive this weekend when the Texas Arts Exchange pre sents the film “Surprising Switzer land.” Frank Nichols, creator of the mo tion picture, will narrate his film at the College Station Hilton at 2 p.m. Sunday. The feature-length piece shows many of Switzerland’s spectacular sites and landmarks. It also explores the citizens of the country by showing their rituals and festivals and studying their day-to-day lifestyle and activ ities. Included in the film are views of many famous Swiss cities and also features the Matterhorn and the sur rounding Swiss Alps and the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen. Nichols, an East Texas native, also has made films showing the scenery of Colorado, Mexico and Canada. Alan Longacre, Arts Exchange ex ecutive director, said this type of movie, called a travelogue, has been around for years. “The films have been going on for over a century in other parts of the world and are just now getting to Texas,” Longacre said. “They are ex citing because they are a way to visit another country by film.” Tickets for the show may be pur chased at KAGC Radio, at the inter section of Texas Avenue and Villa Maria. Ticket prices are $5 for stu dents 20 and under and $6 for adults. Junior high children and younger are admitted free when accompanied by a paying adult. High school’s drug testing challenged WINNIE (AP) —The East Chambers Independent School District will not be testing the first student to challenge the district’s mandatory drug-testing policy, the student’s attorney said Thursday. Brent Brooks, who said, “I don’t take drugs or drink, just dip (tobacco) a little,” is contesting the drug and alcohol tests of all students in grades 6 through 12 who participate in extracurricular ac tivities. Brooks, who turned 19 Thursday, said, ‘T’m against the drug testing be cause everyone is not being included, only those in extracurricular activities. If everybody did it, 1 would, too. That means teachers, principals, lunch ladies, bus drivers, everybody.” Testing began last month. All but 37 of the 300 high school students are in volved in extracurriculars or have volun teered to be tested, East Chambers High School Principal James Crews said. Under a temporary restraining order, the district avoided a hearing before U.S. District Judge Hugh Gibson in Galveston scheduled for Thursday, said Bruce Grif fiths, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney, who is representing Brooks. ‘‘The order only applies to Mr. Brooks,” Griffiths said. ‘‘The school’s lawyer is out of town and the district rec ognized that we’d get some kind of re straining order so they agreed to this. ” Griffiths had planned to ask for a tem porary injunction preventing the school district from testing any students. Crews and Superintendent Keith Davis declined to comment referring all ques tions to attorney Ed Norwood of Liberty. There was no answer at Norwood’s Lib erty office Thursday. Brooks already has enlisted in the Army and passed its drug test in June, but he refused to give a urine sample Wednesday. Crews removed Brooks from extracurricular activities, including a Future Farmers of America parliamen tary exercise this weekend. Brooks’ challenge shocked his aunt and legal guardian who went before the school board last May to demand more stringent controls on drugs in the school. Margaret Ardoin said she asked for drug control after drugs nearly killed her son. Ruling brings state officials into jail suit AUSTIN (AP) — A federal magistrate has granted a motion to bring state offi cials into the 16-year-old Travis County Jail suit. U.S. Magistrate Stephen Capelle on Wednesday also granted a motion by lawyers for county jail prisoners asking to amend pleadings that request removal of felons from the lockup. County officials blame jail overcrowd ing on the presence of hundreds of felons awaiting transfer to state prisons. The Wednesday ruling by Capelle puts the state in the middle of legal proceed ings in state and federal courts. Nueces County officials have filed suit against the state in state district court in Austin demanding removal of felons ready for prison from the Nueces County Jail. A spokesman for Gov. Bill Clements’ office said officials would review the magistrate’s ruling and file a response. Bob Ozer, one of two assistant attor neys general present at the hearing, de clined comment on the ruling. Reaction from county officials, who have consistently complained about the state dragging its feet on the jail issue, was buoyant. ‘T feel good,” Judge Bill Aleshire said. Lawyers for both county officials and prisoners made it clear to the magistrate that if the motions were not granted, they would file a similar action in state court. ‘‘The legal and procedural issues are simple,” Pat Hazel, one of three lawyers representing the prisoners, told Capelle. ‘‘The question is: When will this lawsuit end?” Hazel argued that if felons continue to crowd the jail, it will be impossible for county commissioners and the sheriff to comply with Capelle’s order to close the old jail atop the courthouse by December 1990. ‘‘Something additional is going to have to happen” besides the opening of additional county jail facilities next year to relieve overcrowding, Hazel said. Jim Collins, an assistant county attor ney, said state prisoners are being held in county jails indefinitely. He argued that “state law is quite clear” in requiring the prison system to collect its prisoners. V <*» K 304 N Bryan St Downtown Bryan HeyAgs!
