Group seeks
to reverse
prayer policy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORPUS CHRISTI - A civil
liberties group is asking school of
ficials to change a policy that has
prevented students from holding
prayer vigils around flagpoles at
three campuses.
"And if it's not, we will be
forced to file a lawsuit," said Kel
ly Shackelford, an attorney with
The Rutherford Institute, which
specializes in the defense of reli
gious freedom.
Corpus Christi Independent
School District officials prohibited
students at three schools from
gathering at campus flagpoles on
Sept. 16 to participate in the third
annual "See You at the Pole" na
tionwide prayer vigil. The event
was sponsored by the Rutherford
Institute.
School officials say they were
enforcing a district policy that
prohibits non-curricular student
groups from meeting on school
campuses. The policy stems from
a 1984 U.S. Supreme Court deci
sion allowing schools to operate
as closed forums.
The students who gathered for
the vigils were asked to disperse
or move off campus to comply
with the policy, not because they
were praying. Assistant Superin
tendent George Wetzel said Tues
day.
But Shackelford, who is based
in Dallas, called the district's ac
tions "a clear violation of a num
ber of constitutional rights of the
students."
"On behalf of the students,
we're requesting that whatever
policy or position of CCISD be
changed," said Shackelford.
Volunteers take
part in cleaning
up Texas beaches
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — Thousands of vol
unteers cleaned up 172 tons of
trash from Texas beaches last
weekend, including medical sy
ringes, salt bags, rope and plastic
bottles, the General Land Office
reported Tuesday.
"Without the volunteers, their
dedication and the anti-pollution
message they have helped broad
cast since this program started in
1986, Texas beaches would be un
bearable," Land Commissioner
Garry Mauro said.
"As it is, we're making head
way toward relieving our beaches
of their reputation for being the
garbage dump of the world,"
Mauro said.
More than 13,000 volunteers
participated in Saturday's three-
hour coastal cleanup, according to
Mauro's office. The event was
sponsored by the Center for Ma
rine Conservation and the Land
Office's Adopt-A-Beach Program.
The cleanup covered 163.5
miles of accessible beach along
the 367-mile Texas Gulf Coast.
The biggest turnout was on
Galveston Island, where 3,906
volunteers removed 21.9 tons of
trash, the Land Office reported.
