Candidates favor higher faculty pay
Republican Jay Brummet arid
Democrat Bob Glasgow, District
33 senatorial candidates, both
said they support higher teacher
salaries at a March 18 meeting of
the Texas Association of College
Teachers.
But Glasgow said he opposes
increases in tuition for Texas
students, as proposed recently
by Gov. Bill Clements. The two
senatorial hopefuls styled
themselves as conservatives,
concerned about big government
and special interest dominance
of the legislature.
The only major disagreement
between the men involved
Clements' proposals for initiative
and referendum for Texas
voters. Brummet said he favors
both proposals "as written, with
adequate safeguards." Glasgow,
however, said he is opposed to
initiative and referendum. He
expressed fears that special
interest groups would be "the
only segments of our society
with the ability to Use them
effectively."
Both candidates said they
favored using wiretaps for
investigations of illegal drug
dealers. Brummet said he saw a
definite need for wiretapping
because "the drug problem in
Texas is so severe that we've got
to allow some leeway as long as
individual rights are protected."
Glasgow then added that while
personally in favor of the wire
tapping bill, he would not vote
for it because most people in his
district oppose the bill.
Glasgow expressed his
concern about what he called
the increasing power of
organized crime. He said that the
audience might not be aware
"that organized crime is
controlled by physicians, Jewish
physicians, in the state of
Florida."
After the meeting, Glasgow
told the J-TAC that he was
attempting to explain how
organized crime works. The
people who are usually caught
commiting a crime are those on
the lower rung of the organized
crime hierarchy, he said.
"I was talking about a
specific person who is the brains
behind organized crime, who

happens to be Jewish and who
happens to live in Florida,"
Glasgow said. However, although
the mob calls this person a
"physicain," he is not a medical
doctor. Glasgow said
"physician " is an organized
crime slang term for a "fix it
man."
"I think the statement has
been misinterpreted," Glasgow
said, "and I want to put it in
context.
"I didn't intend to embarrass
anybody in this community of
the Jewish faith, nor did I intend
for the statement to have any
ethnic connotations to it.
"Again, I didn't intend to
offend anyone," Glasgow said,
"It was just an unfortunate
statement,"
Jay Brummet (!) and B bby Glasgow (r), candidates for
the Texas Legislature, spoke to the Texas Association for
/College Teachers Marcji 18. Among the topics they
discussed were tenure and increasing college tuition. Since
the election is scheduled to fall during the TSU Easter
holiday, applications for absentee voting can be picked up

Accrediting teams
end visit to campus
Two separate accrediting
teamswere on campus this week
to yisit with TSU faculty, staff
and students as the University
seeks reaffirmation of
accreditation with the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACSS, and initial
accreditation with the National
Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education (NCATE).
The 10-member NCATE team
arrived in Stephenville Sunday
and stayed through yesterday.
The 1 1 -member SACS
committee arrived Monday and
completed their work with a
briefing this morning.
TSU was first given
provisional accreditation by
SACS in 1966, which was the
earliest date the university could
be recognized after becoming a
four-year institution. Work on
the accreditation started
immediately after TSU was
made a degree-granting college
by the 1959 Texas legislature.
The first self-study for the
university was made during the
years 1963-65. Following initial
accreditation in 1966, a SACS
team again visited the university
in 1970 for a follow-up study.
From that period on, visits are
made each 10 years unless
circumstances warrant interim
visits.

Investigation continues
into Timbers fire cause
In estigations are still under way to determine the cause of the
March 20 fire that destroyed the Timbers private club.
According to one fireman, Mrs. Bobby McBride, wife of the
Timbers* owner, said she was burning trash when the side of the
building caught fire shortly after 6 p.m. The trash barrel she was
using was approximately 8-10 feet away from the building, said
Stephenville Fire Marshall Keneth Haley.
Haley said a northerly wind blowing at about 20 mph contributed
to the rapid demolition of the building. Another factor in the blaze
was the wooden material of which the building was made, he added.
Also damaged in the fire was a pasture across the highway, which
burned after wind gusts "jumped" the blaze across the road, Haley
said.
