Ter- ral Smith said he was headed for Washington on Wednesday to talk with President-elect George Bush’s transition team about heading the federal Environmental Protection Agency. “There’s probably too many Tex ans in Washington already,” Smith joked when asked about the job pos- siblity. Bush, who calls Houston home, already has tapped several Texans for top js in the new administra tion. Smiti R-Austin, was re-elected Nov. 8 to his fifth term in the Texas House. He said he doubted he would take a job in the new administration but that he agreed to talk about it. He said the only job that interests him is the EPA post. A lawyer, Smith serves as chair man of the House Natural Re sources Committee, which handles most of the state’s environmental legislation. He also is the Texas rep resentative to the Western States Water Council and to the Environ mental Affairs Committee of the Na tional Council of State Legislators. In 1987, Smith co-sponsored con stitutional amendments to fund the state water plan. Jim Marston, an Austin lawyer who serves on the Clean Water Ac tion campaign committee, said Smith is viewed as someone who lis tens to environmentalists. “He has a pretty good environ mental record, particularly com pared to some other Republicans,” Marston said. “He seems to under stand that the environment is impor tant to the economy.” Thursday LATIN AMERICAN CATHOLIC STUDENTS: will have a weekly get-together at | 8:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Student Center.

Bill Clements’ pro posed constitutional amendment to keep school funding issues away from judges. “The constitutional amendment, in my judgment, is not going to be seriously contemplated by the Legis lature,” said Rep. Dan Morales, D- San Antonio, vice chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. Morales said the real issue before Clements and lawmakers is how to improve the state’s public education system, not how to get around the ruling by District Judge Harley Clark that some experts say could cost hundreds of millions of dollars to resolve. “We will not make the ultimate determination ... to solve the crisis that we have in our public schools by eliminating our constitutional guar antee of equal educational opportu nity,” Morales said. “We’re not going to do it.” Clements has vowed to keep the Legislature in special session until next Christmas to win passage of a proposed constitutional amendment that would keep school funding is sues in the Legislature’s domain and out of state courts. Clements was returning from a European trip Wednesday, but aides said he stands by his earlier remarks. “The governor stands firm in his belief that a constitutional amend ment is needed to guarantee Texans that the courts will not control how our public schools are financed,” Jay Rosser, deputy press secretary, said. “Texans don’t like what the courts have done to our stale’s prison sys tem and the prospect of similar in trusions in public education is down right frightening,” Rosser said. At the center of the controversy is Clark’s ruling last year that the ec school finance system violates ik Texas Constitution because it fails:: ensure that each school districtb the same ability to obtain monesi educate students.
