(close to campus) 846-5933 iRsttfn DEER PARK (AP) — There’s one 'first-grade classroom in the Deer Park school district that holds mem ories, not students. Housed in a 60-year-old school building, a museum designed to be a walk-in scrapbook reminds the Deer Park community of the district’s his tory. Longtime residents can be seen leading their grandchildren to show cases displaying faded black and white pictures, band uniforms, and other memorabilia reflecting past graduating classes. “It’s a lot of nostalgia,” said Mary E. Stephenson, 70, a museum com mittee member. “It’s a big thrill for people to show their children what they looked like in first grade.” “It’s just a one-room museum, but it is interesting.” Before the rededication of the building as an administration annex, officials planned to demolish the fa cility. An unprecedented community upheaval turned that decision around, Stephenson said. The school building had served as Deer Park’s town church, community hall and social center, she said. Stephenson, who has lived in the Deer Park community for 42 years, is a charter member of the Deer Park School District Historical Mu seum. In 1982, the museum was cre ated in what was then the San Ja cinto School, she said. Her children learned their ABCs in that school, and she worked in the annex as a re ceptionist for 35 years. The building was later renamed the Leon Walters Administration Building to honor Deer Park’s su perintendent from 1978-1986. The museum became Walters’ dream, said Bob Vaughn, school administra tor and museum committee mem ber. “It is a historical storage place for the district’s history,” he said. Although the museum features 50-year-old photographs, trophies, original desks and even a what-was- then modern cooking stove, interest in the museum has waned over the past two years, Vaughn said. Next year, Vaughn said he will attempt to regenerate interest in the museum that so many residents have visited. In the past, committee members met once per month to learn how to display items and how to lure more visitors. The committee has not met in two years. “This was a dream of Leon Wal ters,” Vaugn said. “T he love of this district and what it meant to him is part of the reason it is maintained.” Walters and several other super intendents were honored by mu seum displays in the one-room trea sure house. Clyde Abshier was superintendent in Deer Park from 1941 to 1969, and he also has some personal possessions encased in glass in the museum. Abshier died three years ago, and his wife Lo said he earned the museum’s tribute. Lo Abshier, 78, moved to the dis trict in 1931 and taught in the for mer San Jacinto School. She said the museum helps preserve important memories. “As long as Clyde lived, there was a lot of interest in it,” she said. “Too many have moved away, and there’s not as much interest now.” Friday STUDENTS OVER TRADITIONAL AGE (SOTA): will meet at noon forabrownb;: lunch for Aggies With Kids’.

Coast Guard rescues mai from bay after he jumped from burning motorboat In the past, the museum attracted small crowds on Sundays and larger ones during organized open houses. Boy Scout troops, elementary school classes and other school groups still visit the museum. Recently, at a 50- year high school reunion, the Class of 1939 visited the museum for a glimpse of their younger years. Although interest may fade as the district population gets younger, do nations continue to support a sub stantial bank account for the mu seum, Abshier said. The school artifacts also are do nated, and some are borrowed from i esidents. “There are still people here who take a great deal of pride in it,” she said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s an ethics and pay quandary waiting for Congress this fall — and a session that began with the prosptfft of a sharp salary increase could end in what amounts to a freeze. It wouldn’t be the first. House and Senate salaries once were stalled for 33 years after a pay increase bill that stirred a political storm. James Madison saw it coming when the Pounding La thers were in the process of creating Congress. At the constitutional convention in 1787, he observed that to have members “regulate their own wages was an inde cent thing and might in time prove a dangerous one.” To review the current bidding, President Bush has offered to “work with Congress” on a pay raise to sub stitute for the 51-percent increase rejected last winter. That was six weeks ago, when he also proposed legis lation to phase out the speechmaking honoraria mem bers now can accept as outside income. The game plan in Congress has been to tie restric tions on outside income to an increase in the $89,500-a- year salary members now are paid, putting a spoonful of sugar with the ethics medicine. A bipartisan House task force is studying the issues, and probably will suggest next month that Congress tighten its outside income restrictions in tandem with a renewed pay raise measure. Even that formula leaves Democratic leaders wary that Republicans might seize any raise as an issue against them, even an increase endorsed by Bush. That’s what happened on the 51-percent raise, al though President Ronald Reagan recommended the measure and Bush agreed. GOP campaigners trying to shake the Democratic majority in the House figure one way to do it is by work ing to create a backlash against incumbents, most of whom are Democrats. And there’s a long record to demonstrate that there’s no backlash like a congressio nal pay backlash. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W. Va., recounted that re cord in one of his lectures on congressional history, tra cing pay hassles to the current one — 4nd noting that it has revived a moribund, 200-year-old constitutional MEAT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SCIENCE I Time's Running Out!

Twenty-eight of the required 38 states have voledio ratify the pay amendment. For its first 20 years, Congress paid i is *m embers a; the rate of $6 a day and $6 for every 20 miles traveled to get there and home again. Byrd said that workedom to $900 or $ 1,000 a year in congressional salaries. In 1816, Congress voted in an annual salary ol $1,500, spurred by purported reformers who argued that members were dragging out speeches and thusses- sions in order to collect higher pay at the day rate.Thai produced an outcry and an issue that led to wholesali defeat of incumbents, which prompted the survivors to repeal it. They upped daily pay to $8, and it was frozen £ there for 38 years. The first annual salaries, of $3,000, were voted m 1856. In 1873, Congress voted to raise that to $7,500- and to make it retroactive for two years. President llw ses S. Grant signed it, doubling his own pay in theprot ess. That backlash was explosive, despite congressional arguments with a familiar ring. Sen. Matthew Cat penter of Wisconsin said his constituents didn’t waul him to live in a garret on crackers and cheese and dress in goatskins. He said they knew that a bank cashieroi insurance company president couldn’t he hired for less than $10,000. “They believe a senator ought to have as much brains as a cashier of a bank or president of an insurance company,” he said. The “salary grab” was the dominant issue in thenea election. Carpenter was one of the casualties. That raise was repealed and it was 33 years before Congress risked voting itself another one. It put salaries back at $7,500, where they stayed for the next 18 years. In 1925, the Senate boosted payioI $10,000 with a late-night amendment, passed with no [ debate. The House agreed, avoiding a roll call vote. Congress cut its pay during the Depression, restored I it before World War II, but didn’t get another raiseuu j til 1946. In 1955, amid an economic boom, Congress I boosted its pay to $22,500, an 80-percent raise, wiili j little political fallout. Maybe the secret is in the timing. 1 Bi Cl 8
