Academic Professorship
named for prominent Alumnus
On February 9, 1998- The South Texas College of Law of Texas A&M University
received a generous gift of $100,000 from Clear Lake attorney Ronald Krist in memory
of his brother Stanley Krist. Stanley Krist, 1967 graduate of South Texas College of Law,
passed away in January at the age of 64. The money will be used to establish an
endowed professorship in the area of oil, gas and energy law
"Stanley loved this school," said Ronald Krist when he met with Frank T. Read, the
President and Dean of the Texas A&M University Law Center. Thank you for providing
quality legal education, especially for people who have to work full-time like my brother
did." While in law school, Krist was president of the student body, Editor-in-Chief of the
law review, and graduated with highest honors.
Krist was a noted trial attorney in Houston since 1973, and an acknowledged expert in
the field of oil and gas litigation. He was a member of several prestigious legal societies,
including the International Society of Barristers, the International Academy of Trial
Lawyers and the American Board of Trial Advocates.
TABC Cracks Down on Spring
Break Festivities
Editor's Note: The following is a reproduction of a letter sent to me by the Texas
Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
In a few short weeks thousands of young people will embark on
their annual trek to South Texas for their Spring Break celebration.
For many of these young people, the celebration is marked by the
possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. As you know,
too many young lives have already been lost or severely impaired
as a result of illegal underage drinking.
Curtailing alcohol consumption by minors in our state remains
our greatest priority and our agents will once again be working with
local peace officers to enforce the laws that govern the possession
and consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors.
The advent of "zero tolerance" laws in Texas along with
enhanced penalties for other age law violations related to alcoholic
beverages represents a new era in our state with respect to
targeting illegal underage drinking. But we can't wait to put the
word out to young Spring Breakers about the new laws until they
get down to South Texas. Copies of this letter are being sent to
editors in key cities throughout our state (including colleges/univer-
sities) in hopes that editorial messages can be published alerting
our young people of the dangers associated with underage
drinking. We plan to conduct minor stings and Cops in Shops
sessions during the coming weeks throughout the corridors leading
to South Texas in an effort to remind young people of the laws that
govern illegal beverage drinking in our state. We will make a
concerted effort to minimize the use of alcoholic beverages by
minors during this Spring Break and hopefully safeguard some
lives.
Dean Read

vigorous complaints from
the University of Houston
that we began to hear
negative reaction from
members of the Coordinat-
ing Board.
The agreement requires
us to obtain all appropriate
legal approvals. The coordi-
nating board does have the
explicit power to decide if
and when we will give a
Texas A&M University
degree. We do not believe
we require legislative
approval because no legis-
lative appropriation will be
requested.
On the issue of diplomas,
until we get coordinating
board approval to give
Texas A&M degrees, we will
continue to award South
Texas diplomas. With that
diploma, you will receive a
letter from me clearly
explaining how to handle the
name issue on your resume.
Once appropriate coordinat-
ing board approval comes,
we will decide how to handle
the diplomas of students
who graduated after the
agreement was signed.
We are in the middle of a
fluid, political situation and
have excellent counsel and
advice at our disposal. Rest
assured we are working
quietly to answer all the
questions being posed in
Austin and elsewhere. The
agreement is legal, it's bind-
ing, and we will fight for it.
