Rarely in stage history has so
much action been packed into the
telling of a deeply sentimental love
story, as in this story of the bitter
feud between the Montagues and
Capulets, with the hostility only
ending with death.
The University Theatre is located
in the Communications Arts and

TSTA Plans Rally At Capital If
Schools Shut Down
In a major press conference at the
Sum? Capitol in Austin on
Wednesday, April 4, Ollie Besteiro,
president of the Texas State
Teachers Association, said that
TSTA will call for a "massive"
protest rally in Austin on May 5 by
educators, parents, and students if
the Texas Legislature and Gov. Bill
Clements force Texas schools to
close by failing to reach agreement
on a court-ordered finance
equalization plan
She told the press that up to a
week ago, we told our members
that such an eventuality would be
inconceivable, and certainly in a
state the size of Texas with all of
its vast resources, the public
schools would meet their
commitment to children and remain
in operation until the end of the
school year on June 1 Now, we re
not so sure.'
She then outlined several key
provisions that TSTA believes are
critical to any school aid
equalization plan:
(1) "Improving school
performance through reforms that
will change the way basic decisions
are made. Teachers must be given
broad control over their own
classrooms and must be guaranteed
input into educational decisions at
the school district and campus
levels."
(2) "Salaries ol teachers and other
school employees must be raised.
TSTA strongly supports a
Senate-approved provision that
requires 58 percent of all new
school funds be directed to salaries."
(3) The school employee health
insurance crisis must be addressed.
Health insurance benefits must be
considered as part of any
compensation package and
compensation is an integral part of
equalizing funding."
She also adamantly opposed any
raids on the TRS, saying that
school employees are "sick and tired
of having their pensions raided
every few years to save the state
from a needed tax increase."
The press conference was attended
by TV stations in Dallas and
Houston, all three network affiliates
in Austin, and an independent TV
news service. Representatives of
virtually all major urban
newspapers attended, as did the
Associated Press and the statewide
radio news service organizations.
Anyone seeking further
information at the local level
should contact local TSTA
President Jimmy Cruz at 487-3970.
