Glasgow, D-Stephenville, said he ing at me in the dark.” He said fore about the amendment, and added, “Let’s not put something on there that we know nothing about.” Brooks maintained the amend ment was “not a dirty trick.” That amendment also failed, 18-12, and the Senate sent the bill to the House on a 30-1 vote. Later, Brooks told reporters his disclosure amendment was aimed at opening up to public scrutiny “bid ding wars” between colleges for high school students. Glasgow said his bill was a re sponse to the various sanctions by the NCAA, which regulates college sports, against Southwest Confer ence schools, including the pay-for- play scandal at Southern Methodist University. “What’s happened to us in Texas has been something of a national cri sis. We’ve got to put a stop to it,” he said. Gov. Bill Clements, who was at the center of the SMU scandal that led the NCAA to impose its “death pen alty” on the school’s football pro gram, supports the measure. All SWC schools favored the bill.

We cannot af ford the steady financial drain.” He said its shuttle service in the Northeast would continue on a lim ited basis. Earlier Monday, Eastern asked a federal judge in Miami to order pi lots to return to work. Eastern had canceled almost all flights Monday but had supervisors haul baggage and de-ice planes to keep its profitable Northeast shuttle flying some of its scheduled trips be tween New York, Boston and Wash ington despite a snowstorm. Pilots nationwide planned a job action starting Tuesday morning that threatened to delay every flight on every airline. Eastern pilots have honored a strike by 8,500 mechanics and ramp service workers that began Saturday after a 17-month labor dispute. The strike has grounded most flights, stranded thousands of passengers and pushed the nation’s seventh- largest airline to the brink of col lapse. what it is — a pilots strike,” anotk Eastern spokesman, James Ashlod said. “We waited to see whether tkl was an initial demonstration ais whether they would come on bad but now it’s time.” Eastern’s 5,900 flight attendaritl also have honored the Machinkf strike.

Philip D. Rabinowitz, director of the Ocean Drilling Program, which sponsored the symposium, said co operative research in geoscience fields ranging from geology to oceanography is essential to under standing the complex environment of the earth. “We live on a very dynamic and mobile earth,” Rabinowitz said. “K- nowledge gained over the past years, primarily through programs such as ODP, has made us aware that most of the processes shaping Earth today are taking place beneath the deep ocean floor. “Results of many of the studies that students present here are chan ging the very way we think about our earth and our environment.” Frank Rack, a member of the sym posium organizing committee and a graduate student in oceanography, said the symposium was conceived as a way to encourage interdisciplinary communication between students and faculty in the earth-science de partments at Texas A&M. “One of our goals in having stu dent researchers present their talks during this symposium is to learn from each other and to develop an understanding of the many chal- ' lenges and opportunities inherent in interdisciplinary research,” Rack said. Fifty-nine graduate students in the fields of marine biology, conti nental geology, geophysics, geoche mistry, oceanography^ meteorology and geography presented results of research or proposed research top ics. Dean Merrill, a member of the or ganizing committee for the sympo sium and a graduate student in oceanography, said the symposium gave students an opportunity to pre sent research to a group similar to that at a national meeting. Khalid Mahmood, a graduate stu dent in geological oceanography, practiced his thesis presentation at the symposium. “Without question, the sympo sium was very helpful,” Mahmood said. “It increased my confidence and gave me the opportunity to gather and shape my results so they could be understandable to some body in a different field.” Dr. William H. Mobley, president of Texas A&M University, wel comed faculty and students and commended those involved in the Ocean Drilling Program. “Without question, you are partic ipating in one of the most exciting research programs in the nation, and we are delighted it is here in the Research Park,” Mobley said. Matell said Eastern would con tinue three flights per week to San tiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Ar gentina. He said the 5,000 idled employees were being notified immediately and the airline would pay them “a certain amount” according to their pay scale. Matell said Eastern would file for bankruptcy only as a last resort but indicated the pilots’ walkout may force the airline to consider the op tion. “The pilots are conducting their own economic strike against the company,” Matell said. “We believe that it is an illegal weapon to gain ALPA’s economic objectives.” Earlier, Matell said about 200 pi lots out of 3,600 were flying, but the pilots union put the number at 88. Eastern had 85 flights Saturday and 93 Sunday, the company said, in cluding three shuttle flights with 14 or fewer passengers. Eastern aver aged 1,040 flights carrying 100,000 people daily before the strike. The pilots union advised mem bers Monday to ignore a personal plea from Eastern President Phil Bakes on Sunday to return to work. The company said the pilots would be classified as being on strike if they did not return by noon Tuesday and implied they could lose seniority, face reduced pensions or be fired. Eastern asked the federal judge for a preliminary injunction against the Air Line Pilots Association both at Eastern and nationally, ordering them back to work and requesting damages. No hearing was immedi ately scheduled. “I think it’s time to face this for We cannot continue to inconvenience passengers. We cannot afford the steady financial drain.” — Robin Eastern spokesmai Federal Aviation Administratio: Associate Director Anthony Brodil rick said inspectors are monitoriti Eastern closely and there had beei no safety lapses. He said the FAA prepared to deal with” the planneJ pilots action. The national pilots union planne a teleconference for all membersn explain the action set to begin at a.m. Tuesday. Pilots would strictl follow aviation safety rules, whit! could dramatically slow air traffic. “It’s an individual thing, oli viously,” said Jim Gray, a Delta Aii lines pilots’ union spokesman. “11# captain of the plane decides whath wants to do. But we are encouragifl our pilots to observe the fly-safe." The international Machinist! union planned to appeal a feder: judge’s order barring sympaifc strikes on three New York-arearai roads that threatened to disrupt th morning commute for more th$ 300,000 people. No strike-relattf transit problems were reported it any cities. U.S. District Judge Robert Pallet son on Tuesday also temporaril barred unionized Amtrak workei from honoring any picket lines b'I Eastern Machinists. Senate (Continued from page 1) strike (Continued from page 3) passengers and shipping since the strike began. And, despite increased security and fears that striking Eastern workers may target Continental because of its relationship to Lo renzo’s Texas Air, there have been no reported attempts to block Continental’s Houston op erations, union and airline offi cials said. Many of the pilots, flight atten dants and other workers at Hous ton’s Intercontinental Airport, the airline’s main hub, said they considered the labor strife unre lated to their operations, and un called for when compared to sala ries at Continental or in other industries. Nearly all of them, however, said they hoped to see an end to the strike and the ultimate survi val of Eastern. “What Lorenzo did is look at their salaries and then compare them to salaries in the market place — what those people would make working somewhere else,” another Continental pilot, who asked not to be named, said. “Let’s face it — throwing a bag is throwing a bag no matter where you do it,” he said. “This is a supply and demand business and they’re in business to make a profit. They have to answer to their shareholders.” The sentiments apparently spread through the ranks at Con tinental on Monday, although many employees refused to be in terviewed. Council and the Faculty Senate will work together with a common con cern for student-athletes and their academic performance. With this in mind it was established the Faculty Senate be a primary source of nomi nations to the University Athletic Council. The Senate also will deter mine the time period members of the Athletic Council will serve. Fur thermore, the number of consec utive appointments an individual faculty member may have on the council will be limited. The resolution also stated that the Faculty Senate liaison should be come a full voting member of the Athletic Council and report each se mester to the Faculty Senate Exec utive Committee on the academic performance and progress of stu dent athletes and on any other mat ters that relate to the students’ aca demic experience at A&M. Another stipulation of the resolu tion is that the academic advisers employed by the Athletic Depan ment work with college deans and departmental academic advisers t« ensure that scholarship athletes ar( progressing satisfactorily toward their degrees. In other action, the Senate passed a resolution in which summer sdioo! would consist of one session and span ten weeks, nine of which would be regular classes and the tenif would be designated for final exant and graduation. The resolution, which had beet returned to Academic Affairs Com mittee for revision in a past meeting drew critism from senators who said faculty who have nine and 10-and-2 half month contracts would be “held hostage with the resolution.” Dr. Peter Hugill, who favors ttij resolution, said the summer pro-j gram is now in shambles. The summer program is handled unprofessionally, Hugill said, ant the bill would allow administrator and deans to properly employ then faculty.
