News in Brief
the quality of the students’ education.”
The books have already been through
several editing steps, including a peer-re-
view by public school teachers and gram
matical revisions. The review by A&M
faculty for technical errors is one of the
final steps.
Ford said that, so far, he has found few
errors.
“There are some times that you come
across ways of putting ideas that you just
don’t like,” he said. “But we don’t know
how to teach high school classes, and it
is not our job to rewrite the material.
“Most of the errors I have caught were
small mistakes like plus or minus signs that
were misplaced during the derivation of
an equation — or were just small errors
most likely caused during the editing
process.”
Rios said he is confident in A&M’s fact
checking ability, and mentioned that the
state’s review of history books will be com
ing up in a few years.
Court overturns sentence
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A federal ap
peals court on Monday threw out a life
sentence against a man for possession of
$20 worth of cocaine, saying the punish
ment was "so harsh" that it was uncon
stitutional.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
gave Arkansas 90 days to decide whether
to re-sentence the man, Grover Hender
son, or free him.
FHenderson, 54, received the life sen
tence in Lafayette County in 1 994 for
possession of about a quarter gram of co
caine. The sentence was upheld by the
Arkansas Supreme Court, so he appealed
to federal courts, contending the term
was cruel and unusual punishment under
the Eighth Amendment.
The appeals court said "it denies real
ity and contradicts precedent to say that
all drug crimes are of equal seriousness
and pose the same threat to society."
The court said Idaho, Montana and
Oklahoma permit a life sentence for such
an offense and rarely use it.
