Gayle Lindsey, of Austin, an nounced her resignation in a let ter to Gov. Ann Richards Mon day afternoon, following an afternoon of protests at the state Capitol by more than 100 stu dents from the deaf school. The students, who come to the residential campus from across the state, have held marches and boycotted classes since a letter Lindsey wrote to Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, was dis tributed last week. The letter criticized legislation requested by a coalition of deaf- rights groups that would require a majority of the school board to be hearing impaired. Lindsey is not hearing-im paired. She has a 25-year-old daughter, a 1987 graduate of the school, who is profoundly deaf. Currently, three board mem bers must be hearing-impaired, three must be parents of deaf children, and three must have professional associations with the deaf. Lindsey argued in the letter that the list of "qualified and competent deaf people" to serve on the board "will be exhausted in a very short period of time." In announcing her resignation to Richards, Lindsey wrote: "The controversy surrounding my re appointment is interfering with the education of the Texas School for the Deaf students, a situation that I find abhorrent; I refuse to participate in such a process." The governor said Tuesday that Lindsey had served on the board "with distinction." "Above all else, she has de voted her life to serving the deaf community and has worked self lessly on their behalf," Richards said in a statement. LOUPOT ’ S PAYS CASH FOR USED BOOKS!

While domestic consumption is down over the last 30 years, exports of U.S tobacco products have risen from 65 billion ciga rettes in 1986 to an estimated 160 billion in 1990. The report asserts that if American tobacco products are allowed to compete worldwide, they will dominate the market because of their high quality.

Endangered turtle lays eggs CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — To the Kemp's ridley sea turtle, lay ing 107 eggs this week was a nat ural act. But to conservationists trying to preserve the endan gered species, it was a sign that efforts to establish a new nesting ground could be succeeding. Tourists at Padre Island Na tional Seashore south of Corpus Christi spotted the turtle laying eggs in a sand dune Monday and alerted National Park Service of ficials. It is believed to be the first time a Kemp's ridley has laid eggs on a Texas beach since 1988. Park officials said additio nal nesting ridleys they hope to find could indicate the success of a 10-year project launched to provide an alternative nesting ground. "We're dropping everything in hopes it's the start of some thing," said Donna Shaver, a natural resources management specialist for the Park Service. But researchers remain cau tious. It may have been a ran dom nesting by one of only 300 wild, mature female ridleys known to exist. Their primary nesting site is a 14-mile stretch of Mexican beach near Rancho Nuevo. in Texas The Padre Island nest will be significant only if "we see three or four this year," said Dr. Ed ward Klima, director of the Na tional Marine Fisheries labo ratory in Galveston. "If one turtle turns up, it's great to see that," Klima said. "But unless there's three or four, it wouldn't mean too much." "In terms of establishing a sec ond nesting beach, that may not be," he said of Monday's nest ing. "It may just be a stray." The Fisheries Service, in a pro ject with the Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its Mexican counterpart, In stitute Nacional de Pesca, ended a 10-year project in 1988 that in cluded packing eggs from the Rancho Nuevo site in sand from Padre Island. The experimental effort was an attempt to establish a second ary breeding colony. When the eggs hatched, the silver dollar-sized turtles were allowed to wade in the surf off Padre Island before being recap tured and flown to Galveston for a year of protective care. Ridley's are believed to "im print" the beach where they make their way to the ocean for the first time, and later return to the same location to lay eggs.
