Still, House members were determined to send a message. Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, said he was disgusted by the effort of school administrators to weaken the bill. Minority lawmakers have said the bill is meant to force school to work as hard recruiting minority sch( ars as they do minority athletes. ^ ^ Texas and Texas A&M use class rank ings, test scores, essays and other factors in its admission of students. They would not fall under the bill.†Rep. Tom Uher D-Bay City AUSTIN (AP) —The Texas House on Sunday sent to Gov. George W. Bush a bill requiring universities that use grade-point averages in admissions to set the same standard for athletes and non-athletes. In approving the bill on a voice vote, the House sent conflicting mes sages about which schools would be subject to the bill. Rep. Ron Wilson, D-Houston, the House sponsor of the measure, said the state’s biggest public universities —Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech — would be required to adhere to the legislation. “They definitely are, absolutely, without a doubt,†Wilson said. Rep. Tom Uher, D-Bay City, a member of the Senate-House conference committee that came up with a compromise on the bill, said those schools wouldn’t fall under the measure. Uher said he didn’t know of any schools that had a minimum grade point average as part of its admissions criteria. “Texas and Texas A&M use class rankings, test scores, essays and other factors in its admission of students,†Uher said. “They would not fall under the bill.†Wilson said it might take a lawsuit to determine which schools would be affected. He contended that if a school used class ranking as a criteria in admissions, it would have to consider a student’s GPA because rankings are based on grade point averages. Bush initially said the bill was a bad idea and wouldn’t pass. He later backed off, saying he wouldn’t make a decision until he had seen a final version of the bill. Senators who approved the same bill on Saturday also questioned its impact. “It does nothing,†said Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo. She noted that the bill wouldn’t apply to private universities or to the state’s biggest pub lic schools. Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Horseshoe Bay, expressed similar sentiments. “I am simply amazed how we will put forth every effort to see that ou athletic program is diverse with black and brown athletes, but we will not put forth the same effort to see that our dental programs, CPA prograni and law school programs have minority students,†Turner said. Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, the Senate sponsor of the bill, said ifunivet sity administrators would work as hard at recruiting minority students as they did at trying to weaken the bill, everything would be fine. Hearings Continued from Page 1 “That is not a positive date,†Powell said. “That’s what they (the hearing board) are shooting for.†On May 8, a Brazos County grand jury re turned 60 indictments of hazing and assault charges against the nine advisers. Jim Kuboviak, Brazos County Attorney, said his investigation of the case has not concluded. The case will go before the grand jury again June 12. The misdemeanor charges handled by the Kyle Continued from Page 1 Mount Aggie will be moved to West Campus near Reed Arena, which is expected to be completed in May 1998. Amanda Miller, a junior accounting major, said she is glad to see the im provements at the north end of Kyle Field. “My friends from out-of-town love to see the half-time show,†Miller said. “But they hate sitting in the horseshoe to watch the game. Any im provement with those seats will help.†court system are separate from the A&M disci plinary hearings. Jim James, defense attorney for Boyd, Chapa and Hanson, invited six military leaders from the Corps Commandant’s office to attend Boyd and Chapa’s hearing. Only Col. David Johnson, deputy Corps commandant and chief of staff, at tended the hearing. “We really wanted to explore a little bit about the amount of oversight the Trigon had with the Fish Drill Team,†he said. James said the advisers are being used as scapegoats for the Corps of Cadets and the Fish Drill Team. “I think it’s (hazing) been a long-standing sit uation at A&M,†James said. Maj. Gen. M.T. “Ted†Hopgood, the Corps Commandant, said the nine advisers are noth ing used as scapegoats. “Scapegoating has never been part of my way of leading,†he said. “It has never been my way of running the Corps of Cadets." Hopgood said based on his four years of ex perience in the Corps and 31 years in the Ma^ rine Corps, where he said he never was hazed, it is possible to run a military organization without hazing. Hopgood said the Fish Drill Team incidents were the result of “poor judgement of a very few members of the Corps of Cadets.†Groff said that after the reconstruction, the new end zone seats will be almost 60 feet closer to the field. Andrew Tidwell, a senior journalism major at the University onras,* said the addition of seats was needed a long time ago. “Those Aggies take a long time to learn,†Tidwell said. “Now I may hav| a chance to come to the game this year in College Station with the extrj seating for the visitor section.†Other items discussed at the Board of Regents meeting include bids for Easterwood Airport improvements, expansion of the Ocea: Drilling Core Repository and bids for the Dairy Products Teaching an Research Fab.
