FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS AUSTIN (AP) — Republican gubernatorial hopeful Clayton Williams, Class of ’54, who launched his bid last month, loaned his campaign $500,000, an aide said Monday. As campaign finance reports were being filed with the secretary of state, Williams reported ex penses of $527,502. Contributions totaled $42,413 and the $500,000 loan, plus in-kind con tributions of $91,285. Frank Walter, spokesman for the campaign, said Williams loaned his campaign the money to get off to a fast start. “Clayton Williams made a substantial invest ment in his campaign early to help assemble a professional, credible and highly effective cam paign organization,” Walter said. On the Democratic side, state treasurer and gubernatorial hopeful Ann Richards reported raising $409,136 during the reporting period that ended June 30. Of that total, $30,400 were pledges, campaign manager Glenn Smith said. “C, 'layton Williams made a substantial investment in his campaign early to help assemble a .. highly effective campaign — Frank Walter, campaign spokesman State law prohibited officeholders from money during the regular legislative sts which met from January until May 29.

As a subcontractor to Northrop Corp., LTV Aircraft Products pro duces about one-third of the B-2 by weight, with 4,000 jobs tied to the stealth bomber and 900 Texas sup pliers working on the project for LTV. Ironically, the B-2 took its maiden flight on the third anniversary of LTV’s bankruptcy filing. LTV filed for Chapter 11 protection July 17, 1986 and remains under court su pervision. “There’s a lot of excitement around here today,” Farris said. “A lot of people have been working on the program for a long time. It’s very gratifying to see it fly.” But as the House and Senate take up next year’s military budgets, con gressional opposition to the $500 million cost of each B-2 remains. “I think there’s a great deal of re luctance to spend that much money per airplane,” Rep. Newt Gingrich of Georgia, the No. 2 Republican leader said. “The president and De fense Secretary Dick Cheney will have to work hard to carry a vote in the House.” Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, whose district includes the Bryan-College Station area, says the cost of the air craft is too expensive to justify. “I think it’s a weapon that is so ex pensive we’d be afraid to use it,” the Texas Republican said. “At half a billion dollars, I don’t think a mis sion commander would be willing to commit that kind of asset to a battle situation.” Barton said he doesn’t believe the B-2’s mission is “that well defined. “It’s a great piece of technology, but if I had to vote on it tommorow I’d have to vote against it.” Although the B-2 is responsible for thousands of jobs in Texas, Bar ton said the price tag “is more than the benefit is, even the local benefit.” In the Senate, the Armed Services Committee has voted to spend $4.4 billion in next year’s budget on the B-2, while the House Armed Serv ices Committee has voted to spend $3.9 billion. President Bush had sought $4.7 billion. “The big challenge is holding the Senate figure through the Senate floor debate,” Sen. Phil Gramm said. “Not that there’s so much opposi tion, but all of that money is a tempt ing target for funding other pro grams.” “I think the president will have to weigh in on several of these issues and I expect him to take a very strong position in favor of rail garri son MX, the B-2, and SDI/’Crs a Texas Republican, said.

Through inquiring and sharing, the college can play an active role in improving the future of the teaching profession, he said. “Let’s help to invent the future, not just inherit it,” he said.

That’s what makes an exciting learning environment.” When students are confronted with different ideas, they can arrive at their own conclusions. “They get captured by the same inquiry spirit,” he said. But learning isn’t exclusive to stu dents, in Corrigan’s book. “I have a friend who’s a doctor and, on any forms he tills out, he al ways lists his occupation as ‘stu dent’.” Corrigan sees the College of Edu cation as providing an essential hu man service, with an education being a matter of life and death. “When people are denied the op portunity to learn, you’re really de nying them access to fulfillment,” he said. treating them the wrong way, you’ve done something as dangerous as the incompetent medical person.” Corrigan’s insistence for quality in the field of education is obvious out side his job as well.

In competent people do not belong in a human services job because too much is at stake, he said. “Teachers can kill people just as easily as doctors who perform the operations in hospitals,” he said. “If you destroy a child’s self-concept by His genuine enthusiasm has im pressed many of the people with whom he has come into contact.
