AUSTIN (AP) — Officials at
Texas, Texas A&M and Texas
Tech say they will not be
affected by a bill requiring uni
versities that use grade-point
averages in admissions to set
the same standard for athletes
and non-athletes.
“Our admissions policy is
based on class rank and test
scores,” Gene Medley, the direc
tor of admissions and records at
Texas Tech, said Wednesday.
“Unless there is something
about the bill I
don’t know
about, I don’t
think it would
have a great
impact on what
we’re doing.”
Gov. George W.
Bush said this
week he would
sign the legislation
sponsored by Rep.
Ron Wilson, D-
Houston. Bush’s
policy director
called the bill
“largely symbolic.”
Wilson, a black
lawmaker, said
the bill was born
out of fear that a
federal court ml-
ing would cause
minority enrollment at schools to
decline overall while recruitment
of minority athletes remained
strong.
The court ruling, known as
Hopwood, came after four white
applicants successfully argued
that the University of Texas law
school admissions policy unfairly
favored minorities.
Texas Attorney General Dan
Morales interpreted the ruling to
mean that race could no longer be
used in the consideration of
admissions, scholarships and
financial aid.
“The bill was a very sincere
effort to keep the public mindful
of the effects of the Hopwood
ruling, and it reminds us at Texas
A&M that we must do everything
we can to ensure a diverse stu
dent body,” said Jim Ashlock,
A&M’s executive director of uni
versity relations.
Wilson had argued that the bill
would apply to schools such as
Texas, A&M and Tech because
they consider class rankings and
such rankings are based on GPAs.
He said it might take a court chal
lenge to clarify the law.
But Ray Farabee, general
counsel for the University of
Texas System, said, “The bill is
very specific. It refers to schools
that require a minimum high
school grade point average as
an admissions criterion. It
^ ^ Unless there is
something about
the bill I don’t
know about, I don’t
think it would have
a great impact on
what we’re doing. 1
>5
Gene Medley
Director of admissions
and records at Texas Tech
doesn’t say anything about
class rankings.”
Wilson and other minority law
makers had expressed outrage at
university officials who worked to
weaken an earlier version of the
bill that would have required
schools to set their admissions
standards based on the lowest
grades and test scores of scholar
ship athletes.
Wilson said if schools worked
as hard recruiting minority schol
ars as they did to weaken his bill
there would be
no problems.
Farabee
said the
schools aren’t
to blame.
“There was
concern and
questions by
lawmakers
about the time
we were
spending on
the bill, but we
spend vastly
more time on
recruitment of
students than
we do on any
legislation,”
Farabee said.
“As a result
of Hopwood,
there are some legal limitations
now that we did not have, and there
is some tendency to blame UT for
what Hopwood said. But we fought
that case all the way to the U.S.
Supreme Court. I don’t want to be
in an argument with the legislators,
but I just disagree,” Farabee said.
Ashlock said, “We are not the
cause of the Hopwood decision.
We are the victims of the
Hopwood decision.”
Lawmakers blamed the
Hopwood ruling for a recent
decline in minority enrollment at
UT and A&M.
Ashlock said the ruling has
hurt most by affecting schools’
ability to give financial aid and
scholarships.
“We have to tell students that
we could have helped them with a
minority scholarship that was in
place two years ago,” Ashlock
said. “And they’ll say, ‘Well, the
University of Oklahoma has a
scholarship like that waiting for
me right now.’ And they leave the
state. It hurts us.”
UT officials had said if the earli
er version of Wilson’s bill became
law that Texas schools would be
forced'out of the Big 12 and mil
lions of dollars in athletic revenue
would be lost.
In the end, it appears the bill
will serve more as a message to
schools than anything else.

So there it is.
But wait a minute, it seems
Major League Baseball has
thrown a kink into my perfect
little world of algebraic bliss —
interleague play. This ruins
everything. All predictions are
mathematically irrelevant for
one simple reason — Ken
Griffey Jr. has never played in
the National League.
Griff will be facing two of
the top pitching staffs in the
NL, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, but then he does get
to play at Coors Field in
Denver and hit against San
Diego’s struggling pitching.
So what does it all mean? Well
frankly, it never meant anything
to begin with. That’s why they
play the games.
But when October rolls
around this year the question
will have changed from, “How
many home runs will Griffey
hit?” to “How many will he
break the record by?”
Oh, by the way, Junior does
have one home run in 14 All-
Star Game at bats. With that
in mind, well, I’ll spare you
the details.
