Cooke also said the professor’s
laments will not change the
lount of effort UT students devote
diversifying the campus.
"Professor Graglia’s carping re-
ks are counterproductive, but
t detrimental to students’ initiative
promote, protect and encourage
ersity at the University of Texas at
stin,” he said.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, wlio is
leduled to appear at a campus
mpnstration at UT Tuesday, be
ne the latest to blast Graglia.
"The professor is espousing a fas-
t ideology, and people of character
oss all lines of color should de-
unce such propaganda,” Jackson
d.
The university chancellor and
sident met privately with Graglia
Monday.
Cunningham declined to com-
nt; Flawn issued a statement say-
they had “an open and frank dis-
ion of the issues” but declined to
more.
Graglia did not return phone calls
m The Associated Press, but the
iooI said he plans to issue a state-
t of his own.
In their written statement, the
iversity’s top officials said Graglia’s

Cassidy said the delegation’s
decision to visit A&M reflects well
on the quality of the University’s
sport management program.
“We’d like to think that they chose
A&M because we’re one of the best
programs in the country,” he said.
Mooney attributed the group’s
decision to A&M’s reputation for
successful sport organization.
“We have a good reputation as
far as support and organization es
tablished in the last eight years,”
Mooney said. “Dr. Ashley may also
be another reason the delegation
was attracted to us. They are fa
miliar with him and his involve
ment in sport management.”
A&M’s sport management pro
gram is in its 10th year. Over 250
students are enrolled in the pro
gram, which combines a degree in
kinesiology with specialization in
sport management.
Ashley said A&M has sport
management graduates working
for professional sport teams in
Texas and for other programs.
“We’ve got A&M graduates work
ing for many professional teams —
the [Dallas] Cowboys, the Texas
Rangers, the San Antonio Spurs, the
Houston Astros,” Ashley said. “Char
lie Song, one of our grad students
from China, was hired by San Jose
State to develop a sport management
program there. This program is a
well-kept secret.”
Athlete clashes with dress code
LITTLE CYPRESS, Texas (AP) —
Jason Everitt must pick up a razor
or put down his tennis racquet.
That’s the ultimatum the goateed
teen-ager was given when he re
turned for a third year on the Little
Cypress-Mauriceville High School
tennis team.
Everitt grew the blond whiskers
over the summer for the role of a
jealous high priest in a church pro
duction of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
“I understand and agree with the
idea that athletes should be held to
higher standards because of the
certain image we want to project for
our school, but I don’t agree that we
shouldn’t be able to express our in
dividuality,” Everitt said.
The school dress code permits
closely cropped beards, but school
athletic director David Williams has
a more strict policy that forbids fa
cial hair.
We have no choice but to
ibey the rulings of the
ourts.”

They said Texas remains commit-

however, they noted the school is
oring under an affirmative action

trt of Appeals in the case known

That ruling, which the U.S.

-3729 fnissions and scholarships.
