Non-irrigated wheat that was planted in the fall came up so sparse and wimpy that dry land farmers couldn’t let their cattle graze it. Nelson said farmers lost as much as one-third of their in come by not being able to turn cattle on their wheat. Some farmers have taken second jobs, he said. Lawmakers split on whether Texas can meet national average AUSTIN (AP) — A state lawmaker on Monday proposed an estimated $1.24 billion pay raise for Texas teachers over the next two years to lift their salaries closer to the national average. Under the bill by Rep. Christine Hernandez, the state would pay $742 million and lo cal school districts the remain der of the iticrease for Texas’ 265,000 educators. “Teachers deserve a raise. Let’s do it this session,” said Ms. Hernandez, D-San Anto nio. She said her goal is for Texas teachers’ pay to be at the national average in four years. Texas ranks 35th nationally, with an average of $30,519 for a 10-month contract. The na tional average is $35,958. Legislative leaders said state government can’t afford its share of Ms. Hernandez’s proposal, which would give teachers raises of $500 to $6,000 and require fu ture increases as education spending rises. “I’m for a teacher pay raise ... but finding $800 million for any project right now, we sim ply don’t have” the money, said Rep. Robert Junell, D-San An gelo. He is chairman of the budget-writing House Appro priations Committee. Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, who heads the Senate, said, “I don’t think anybody has been more sympathetic to teachers than I have and the Texas senators have. By the same to ken, at this time I don’t know where $800 million would come from.” WHAT INSPIRED THE MOUNTAIN MEN? rganiL: teorqe Washington: hereas it is the duty of all nations acknowledge the providence of Imighty God, to obey His will, to be ;s: it grateful for His benefits, and humbly So implore His protection and favor.” braham Lincoln: ntelligence, Patriotism, Christianity, nd a firm reliance on Him who has ever yet forsaken this favored land re still competent to adjust in the est way all our present difficulty.

Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.” Teddy Roosevelt: “There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no such thing as a new morality. There is only one morality. All else is immorality. There is only true Christian ethics over against which stands the whole of paganism. If we are to fulfill our great destiny as people, then we must return to the old morality, the sole morality.” FACULTY FRIENDS 3. e are inspired by Jesus Christ who said: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” We are a group of professors, instructors, lecturers, and administrators united by their common experience that Jesus Christ provides intellectually and spiritually satisfying answers to life’s most important questions.
