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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sup
porters of the stealth bomber say
they hope the radar-evading air
craft’s first flight Monday will per
suade Congress to keep paying for
the B-2, preserving thousands of
jobs in Texas.
“We’re encouraged by seeing it fly
and hope it helps Congress realize
the importance of this program, that
it is a very viable program,” Lynn
Farris, a spokesman for Dallas-based
LTV Aircraft Products Group said.
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

Gingrich also said it willJ

said. “It’s a sense of working to

individual couldn’t do alone. It’s a
support of untried ideas.”

attract people with a wide variety of
interests. An environment with
many different viewpoints and ap

“Generative environments judge
how well they’re doing by how their
clients are doing,” Corrigan said.
“And in education, our clients are
students.”
Most importantly, however, the
seven departments of the college
must continue to work together, he
said.
Corrigan said the future of the
college can be just as bright as its
past if certain steps are taken:

• Career-oriented people must
continue to be attracted to the teach
ing profession.
“I believe that if there ever was a
time where we needed to get teach
ers and administrators together, it is
now,” Corrigan said. “The worst
thing would be to splinter an already
splintered profession.”
• Faculty and administrators
should use any new technology to
help them do their job better.
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.

success, but Corrigan insists just the
opposite is true.
“The quality of an institution can
be judged by how diversity enhances
it,” he said. “What you need is a wide
spread of disagreement and differ
ence. 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. He has written
many articles on controversial issues
including abolishing corporal pun
ishment, the misuse of standardized
tests, politics and teacher education
reform and the teacher shortage.
