The 5-4 ruling represented a defeat for the num erous gay rights organizations that had mobilized against the Georgia Liw In the sodomy case, the court reversed the federal appeals court ruling that the Georgia law, which defines sodomy as "any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of an­ other," infringes on a "fundam ental" con­ stitutional right. Fundam ental nghts are deserving of the C onstitution's fullest protection, and may be infringed only if the state can show a "compelling interest" for it. The Supreme Court previously has ruled that decisions to marry, have children, practice birth control or have an abortion are such fundamental rights. However, writing for the high court Monday, Justice Bvron White said, "We think it evident that none of the nghts an­ nounced in those cases bears anv resem­ blance to the claimed constitutional nght of homosexuals to engage in acts of sodom y." The Georgia law, similar to those in more than one-third of the states, also makes cer­ tain heterosexual acts a crime even if per­ formed bv a married couple. However, there is no record of Georgia enforcing the law against heterosexuals, and M onday's decision did not address that issue. M onday's decision appeared to remove Local civil liberties leaders, gay activists appalled by ruling By BARBARA LINKIN DaHy Texan Staff Leaders of the Texas Civil Liberties Un­ ion an d local homosexual organizations say they are appalled at the U.S. Suprem e Court ruling Monday to uphold Georgia's sodom y law. In Hardwick vs. Bower, the court ruled 5-4 that consenting adults have no consti­ tutional right to private hom osexual con­ duct. Jim Harrington, legal director for TCLU, said the decision was regrettable. "W e've long opposed any effort by the into people's bed­ governm ent to get room s," he said. "The decision is a devastating reversal of Am erican constitutional ju risp ru ­ dence," Harrington said in a prepared statem ent. "H ow ever we have every con­ fidence that history, in the long run, will p ro v e c o u rt th e B u rg er-R eh n q u ist w ro n g /' Glen Maxey, legislative chairm an for the Austin Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, said, "W e will continue to be vo­ cal and vigilant in our fight against legisla­ tion, court rulings and practices in the governm ent or the private sector that con­ tinue to infringe on the pursuit of happi­ ness by gays an d lesbians." John Blandford, president of the UT Gay and Lesbian Students' Association said the decision shocked him. "I knew it w ould be a close decision but I thought they would rise above their own prejudices to serve the cause of justice," he said. Gar a LaMarche, executive director of the TCLU, said the decision was a viola­ tion of the principle of privacy in the home. "It encourages hypocrisy and erodes re­ spect for our system of law s," LaMarche said in a prepared statem ent. Blandford said though it was too early to know the impact of the decision, it could lead to increased harassm ent and discrimination of homosexuals. "I think it's going to be a sharp setback in the quest for gays and lesbians to achieve the rights they deserve as U.S. cit­ izens and as loving hum an beings," he said. "It will surely provide the basis to justify the attem pt by m any to further cur­ tail the rights of gays and lesbians." The Suprem e Court has not decided if it will hear an appeal of Baker vs. Wade, the constitutional challenge to the Texas so­ domy law. In A ugust 1985 the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a 1983 Dallas District Court ruling which declared the Texas sodom y law unconstitutional. Harrington said though it was possible the Suprem e C ourt would reverse the Court of Appeals' decision to uphold the Texas statute, it would do little good in light of the ruling. anv doubt about the constitutionality of those laws, as well as the constitutionality of state fornication laws making it a crime for tw o unmarried people to have sex. "Plainly enough otherw ise illegal con­ duct is not always im m unized w henever it occurs in the hom e," White said. "It would be difficult ... to limit the claimed right to homosexual conduct w hile leaving exposed to prosecution a d u lte n , incest and other sexual crimes even though they are com­ mitted in the hom e." Joining White were Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justices Lewis Powell, William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O 'C onnor. Justices Harry Blackmun, William Bren­ nan, Thurgood Marshall and John Stevens dissented. Blackmun said he saw no justification for "invading the houses, hearts and m inds of citizens who choose to live their lives differ­ ently/* The Georgia law w as challenged by Mi­ chael Hardwick, an Atlanta bartender and homosexual who w as charged in 1982 with committing sodomy in his home. He never has been prosecuted u n d er the lavs which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The arresting officer had gone to Hardwick's hom e to issue a w arrant in an­ other case and had been told he could tsnd Hardwick in his bedroom. Hardwick sued Georgia officials in 1983, seeking to have the law declared unconsti­ tutional. A married Georgia couple also chal­ lenged the law, saying they w ished to en­ gage in heterosexual conduct it prohibited. Lower courts dropped the couple as chal­ lengers after saving they failed to prove they would be prosecuted under the sodo­ my law. Monday's decision was the court's first detailed gay rights ruling since 1%7, when it ruled that aliens found to bo homosexual may be deported as individuals "afflicted with a psychopathic personality/* In other ac tion Monday, the court also: ■ Upheld in a 7-2 vote the time-honored practice of gerrym andering, draw ing vot­ ing districts to favor one political partv over the other. The court said that legislative and congressional districts drawn for parti san advantage generally are constitutional as long a*' they meet the "one person one vote" standard for balanced representation. ■ Ruled in another 7-2 vote that the pub­ lic can attend pretrial hearings in criminal cases, even if a defendant objects. The court said that judges may close such hear­ ings in secret only as a last resort to ensure a fair trial and only after telling why such steps are necessary. ■ Rebutted the Reagan adm inistration in a 9-0 vote, making it easier for blacks and other minorities to challenge redistricting plans that may dilute their voting strength. Legislator says PUF should be state-controlled By FELIC IA A R A M E N D IA Daily Texan Staff rhe Legislature should take con­ trol of the Perm anent University Fund because the UT System Board of Regents is using it to ignore the financial crisis facing other state agencies, state Rep Bill Hollowell said Monday. Hollowell. D-Grand Saline, a member of the Legislative Budget Board, said requiring the regents to justify expenditures of PUF reve­ nues to the Legislature "w ould put the people back in the process of d e ­ mocracy," However another LBB memht r.

"1 think they com pete more on a n a­ tional basis and ... m aintaining that competitive edge is im portant.

Farabee would not sav if specific colleges were discussed in h i s con­ versation with C unningham Hollowell said the Board of Re­ gents "is arrogantly ignonng the m andate of the Legislature" by us mg income derived from the PUF to augm ent state appropriations for 3 percent faculty salary inc re as e s and other general revenue items. "We ought to line-item the PUF instead of giving them discretion over that huge am ount of money, he said "It certainly doesn't speak well of that group (the regents) w hen the Legislature faces the fi­ nancial crisis that it does for them to engage that kind of extrava­ gance." in Gerald Hill vice chancellor for governmental relations for the UT said limiting the regents' System control of th e Available University' Fund would be a mistake. "The AUF is used to enhance the quality of the flagship institutions in order to be competitive with major research the country," Hill said. "You have to have the flexibility' to manage those funds to provide excellence/* institutions around HolloweU said ITT control ot tht- funds is unfair when other state col­ leges are facing drastic cutbacks. "O ne college president told me he didn't even know how he was going to find the money for the 3 percent (non-facultv) raise," Hol­ low ell said. "UT ignores the reality of the financial situation w e're in and does w hat thev please, a" they always do." Rep. H ugo Berlanga, D-Corpus Chnsti. w ho is also a member of the LBB, said the group discussed U T s budget at its Friday meeting. "There was a lot of a concern that w e're asking all state agencies to hold the line, and UT can give their people 6 percent, ' Berlanga said. "It just didn 't set weU with u s." The 198t>-87 budget approved bv the regents last month augm ented state-appropnated funds for faculty salaries to $% million — 5.6 percent more than last vear — with money from other sources. Berlanga said he does not object to the University*» use of non-gen­ eral revenue f u n d s tor faculty salary increases, but the response to the governor's request was not ade­ quate 'T hev were given the flexibility as to where to cut in hopes thev would comply, but there hasn't been that much of an effort," Berlanga said 'T h e bottom line is we are going to do the cutting for them, and I'm not lust talking about UT I'm talking about everybody." 1 he regents approved a 1986-87 budget they say will save $91 mil­ lion in general revenue funds, in part bv subsidizing those accounts with m onies from other sources. The budget included a 2.6 percent increase for the University and a 1 percent increase System-w ide.

O pposition leaders called it a panic move in re. ponse to adverse public opinion polls, but generally approved the changes. M ulroneys partv won 58 percent of the vote in the 1964 elections but its rating has slipped in the latest polls to 38 percent, a few points below the opposition L i b e r a l s . Regional economic problems, trade disputes with the United States and unem ploym ent have weakened support for the Progressive C onserva­ tives. Mulronev retired two m inisters, dism icsed four and brought in eight new members, ex­ panding his Cabinet from 38 to 40. He shuffled posts and responsibilities for two- thirds of the members, but Foreign Secretary Joe Clark and Finance Minister Michael Wilson kept their jobs. "After a period of two years in September, it's time for a change," the 47-year-old former cor­ porate lawyer from Quebec told reporters. Four new ministers are French-Canadians from Quebec, w here onlv one \ oter in four back> Mulroney s government. O ne of them, Jean Charest, minister of state for youth, is 28 and believed to be the youngest Cabinet member in Canadian history. Enk Nielsen, 62, deputy pnm e minister and a member of Parliament for 28 years, was droppod from the Cabinet at his own request, Mulroney said. Observers said Nielsen's fiercely partisan style had become a liability to the governing par­ ty. International Trade Minister James Kelleher was transferred to solicitor general two m o n t h s after the start of controversial "freer trade' talks with the United States. He was replaced bv Pat Camev, the former energy ministei Consumer M inister Michel Cote replaced Sinc­ lair Stevens, w ho resigned in Mav a*- in d u s tr y minister. Weeks after introducing tough new anti por­ nography legislation that stirred a national de­ bate, Justice Minister John Crosbie was moved to the Transport Ministry. Don Boudna, a Liberal member of the House of Commons, said: "The governm ent are panick­ ing as a result of bad public opinion polls. Ed Broadbent, leader of the New Democratic Partv, welcomed Nielsen s departure, but said it remained to be seen w hether the changes would "give a new sense of direction and competence to the governm ent. Peres endorses probe of alleged coverup Associated Press JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres risked the collapse of his coalition M onday bv endorsing an investigation of politi­ cal involvem ent into charges of a se­ cret service coverup after the 1984 killings of two Palestinian bus hi­ jackers. Pounding the table d u n n g his speech, the la b o r Party' prim e min­ ister told Parliament he does not fa­ vor investigating the Shin Bet intel­ ligence agency, but an examination of politicians roles is needed be­ cause "the accusations m ust be cleared away and all the doubts eliminated " Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, leader of the conservative Likud bloc and Peres' coalition partner, called his endorsem ent of the inves­ tigation an attem pt to destroy the agreem ent under which they are to trade |obs in October. He said such a probe would bring dow n the gov­ ernm ent. "If som eone is stubborn (about the inquiry ), that's a sign that he's not interested in the existence of the governm ent," Shamir told reporters shortly before Peres made his sp>eech. Peres said he had "nothing to into hide" from an investigation that politicians protected charges the Shin Bet from prosecution in the beating deaths of the two Palestini­ ans while they were in police custo­ dy. "I am ready to be investigated be­ fore any judicial commission," he said in defending his 21-month-old governm ent against live no-confi­ dence motions. Governm ent legislators defeated the motions by a show7 of hand*- O pposition pHilitieans introduced them because of anger about a gov­ ernm ent decision last week to grant Avraham Shalom, chief of the Shin Bet, and three of his aides immunity from prosecution for Shalom s resignation. return in Peres insisted that "1 am not look­ ing for political profit" or a way out of his agreem ent to exchange jobs with Shamir "I am not accusing anyone on the political level," he said. Shamir was prim e m inister when the bus was hijacked. Liberal psoliti- cians aligned w ith Peres Labor Par­ ty accused him of helping the Shin Bet conceal its role in the deaths of the captured Palestinians.

Robert Kastenmeier argued for a fourth charge which accused him of behav­ ior that disgraced the )udiciarv. W hile the first three articles spe­ cifically linked Claiborne's impeach­ ment to his conviction for tax eva­ sion, Kastenm eier said the fourth represented an additional message to judges. " It is not (Claiborne's) conviction alone on which we base this im peachm ent," Kastenmeier, D- W is., said. H e argued that any pat­ tern of misbehavior on the bench — whether crim inal or not — could be considered a high crime or mis­ co n stitu tio n al the dem eanor, grounds for removal from office. Ironically, Article IV was the onlv impeachment count that did not pass the committee unanimously. Those opposed argued that convic­ tion should indeed be enough to impeach a federal official. The article says that by C lai­ borne's actions, he "betrayed the trust" of his countrymen, "reduced in the judiciary and confidence" brought "disrepute on the federal courts." Claiborne, the chief U.S. district judge in Nevada, faces an impeach­ ment vote in the House in mid-July. Convicted of tax evasion, he is serv­ ing a two-year prison term while collecting his $78,700-a-year lifetime salary. Since only 13 federal officers have been impeached by the House since 1787, any impeachment case helps set precedents — or at least guide­ lines — for future proceedings. Committee members who sup­ ported Article IV said they were thinking of the future. Rep. H ank Brow n, R-Colo., asked, "Is there something here more than conviction? I think there is. It's particularly egregious con­ duct by |udges." Rep. Dan Glickm an, D-Kan., called Article IV the "cleanup arti­ cle" adding, "There's a need for precedential value in cases where there's no conviction." Those who opposed Article IV said the precedent should be set for that no additional grounds impeachment are needed once an official is convicted of a crime and appeals are exhausted.. Rep. W illiam Hughes, D-N.J., said the extra article could "get you off on a tangent" in a Senate trial, where lawm akers could "lose sight of the fact that here we have a con­ viction ... and this is enough in it­ self." The Article IV language is based in part on the judge's oath of office. Implicit is the requirement that fed­ eral judges uphold and obey the Constitution. Judges also are required to follow judicial Conduct. the Code of judge I provides that "a Canon should uphold the integrity and in­ dependence of the jud iciary." A separate explanation tells |u- rists to observe "high standards of conduct so that the integrity and m- dependence of the judiciary ma\ be preserved." Report surveys city budget crises Associated Press WASHINGTON — Faced with less federal aid and more demand for services, over half the cities and towns expect to end their budget year in the red, the National League of Cities said M ondav. A survev by the league of 660 cities and towns found that 56 percent expected city spending to exceed reve­ nues from taxes, federal aid and other sources, when their 1986 tiscal vear ends. O nly 15 percent expected revenues would be greater than expenditures, and the remaining 29 percent expected to have balanced budg­ ets Those who expect cities to continue absorbing the impacts of cuts and cancellation of key federal aid pro­ grams had better look again, because in many cities, the bucks aren t there, said Alan Beals, executive d i­ rector of the organization representing towns and cities of all sizes "W herever vou care to look, it's clear that the belt has been tightened to its limit a s tar as municipal budg­ ets are concerned,' he told a n e w s conference. The league surveyed 660 cities and towns across the oiuntiy and said its figures represented all regions of the country and included halt the cities with more than 250,000 people. The figures involved cities general funds, the main account that provides for most citv services. The survey was taken before the end of the fiscal year, which was Mondav for about half the nation's cities Doug Peterson, a staff analyst w'ho compiled the re­ sults, said some of the cities were cutting back serv ices to reduce costs, but that manv planned to dip into their balances. Those balances are reserves accumulated from the prev ious year. Use of the reserves allows a city to comply with legal requirements for a balanced budget but reduces or eliminates the ¡.ushion available for emergencies, to meet bond requirements, or to be available for future use Beals said it was unknown how manv cities would exhaust their cash reserves "but it appears many are nght down to the bottom line ‘ The crunch is here and has been here ter a year or more and it is going to be felt more severely," he said 1 he league cited as a key factor the steady decline in federal aid to cities and the anticipated end later this vear of general revenue-sharing L y in g -in -th e -ro a d d e a th a ru ra l p h e n o m e n o n Associated Press somewhere* the average A T LA N T A — Every two week", on in North Carolina, usually late at night along a rural highway, somebody gets drunk, lies down in the road and is run over and killed "In most cases, the victim is in­ toxicated almost to the point ot being com atose," said Dr. Lawrence Ham s, a state medical examiner who is one ot tin authors ot a re port, "W h ile Lying in the Road — Ih e report Ih e Prone Pedestrian documents 136 such fatalities in North v arolma over 11v t* years end ing in 1984 There are probably scores of peo­ ple across the country who are killed that w ay every year, mostly on warm summer nights in the poorer rural reaches of the South and the Southwest, said H am s, w ho teaches pathology at East Caro­ lina University in Greenville, V C In Arizona, for example, which keeps a separate record of these deaths, 13 people were killed in 1984 while lying in the road.

Most states keep statistics on the number of pedestrians killed each vear while standing, walking or ptaving m the road, but few main­ tain a separate category for people killed while lying in the road.

Gorbachev lauds Polish leaders Associated Press W A R S A W , Poland — M ikhail Gorbachev praised Polish leaders M onday for their "unbending de- fense" of communism in c r u s h i n g Solidarity, and he accused the W est of using the turmoil to foment un­ rest in Poland. The Soviet leader's comments in a speech to the first Polish Com m u­ nist Party congress in five years were believed to be the Krem lin's most definitive statement on the de­ cision to impose martial law in De­ cember 1981 and suppress the Sovi­ et bloc'" first free trade union. Gorbachev called the contest be­ tween Solidarity, bom during the labor unrest of 1980, and Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski s governm ent a "struggle for the existence of social­ ism itself in Poland" and a lesson for other East European countries. He said the Polish crisis was not a "protest of workers against social­ ism" but "a protest against distor­ tions in socialism " and demonstrat­ ed to Communist parties of losing touch with work­ ers. the dangers It revealed the whole complexity Of the contemporary competition betwe*. n the two svstem s," he said "Threatening the socialist system, attempts to undermine it from the outside, tearing one or another country* from the socialist alliance signify a threat not only to the will of nations but also to the entire postwar order, and ultim ately, to peace." In an apparent reference to the imposition of martial law, Gorba­ chev praised the Polish authorities for holding "back the attack by the enemies of socialism with their own forces." After 16 months of worker unrest and repeated threats of Soviet inter­ vention, Jaruzelski imposed martial law and crushed Solidarity, w’hich later was outlawed The formal state of martial law was lifted in 1983, but many of th? union's leaders are in prison. In the strongest endorsement he has given to a Soviet-bloc leader since gaining power in March 1985, Gorbachev declared: "Poland owes a leader, W ojciech Jaruzelski." its outstanding lot to He praised the general for his "energy and political thoroughness, farsightedness and ability to find so­ lutions to very complex problems, for his unbending defense of the in­ terests of his nation, the cause of so­ cialism " "A nd I am not saying this out of obligation or courtesy but out of true conviction," the krem lin leader declared. His 40-minute speech was televised nationwide from the Pal­ ace of Culture in W arsaw . Jaruzelski and Gorbachev em ­ braced warm ly at the end of the speech, while the 1,776 party dele­ gates applauded. Gorbachev was given a tapestry with Lenin's por­ trait embroidered on it as a gift from the Polish party, and he held it aloft for the delegates to see. The tone of praise contrasted w ith the last party congress in July 1981, when the Soviet Union severely crit­ icized Poland's leadership for not acting against Solidarity. The union founded by shipyard electrician Lech Walesa was at the height of its power then with 10 m illion mem­ bers, more than one-quarter of the population. In his speech, Gorbachev con­ curred in Jaruzelski's remarks when in the congress opened Sunday, which he said the political crisis had ended and the party was regaining its strength.

There is nothing secret about how to cut a budget The budget cutters decide what areas can get bv without less monev, and reduce their budget accordingly h o secret there. Except budget cutting is politically dangerous And Clements used his "secret plan" to hide from that danger for weeks. Every time anybody mentioned the state s ntonev problems, Clement«- was quick to pipe up He would blast White for doing nothing, or doing the w rang thing, but when pressed about what he would do differently, he would iust grin and say, "H ey, trust me. I've got a plan." Well, he didn't And, hopefully, he will catch some political flak for that. Because lying is a bad way to run a campaign — Todd Pratt Speaking of politics ... E d u c a tio n r e fo r m se em s so t r iv ia l d u r in g a n e le c tio n y e a r Now that Gov. Mark White has apologized to the teachers of this state for the pain and agony those competency tests put them through, we have further proof of a couple of things we knew already. One, White's commitment to public education re­ form doesn t have much to do with convictions — because, believe it or not, White is a politician. Two, the teachers' groups that complained about th«.- tests never were worried about anything mom than their own egos. The masor state teachers' groups, w ith the sole ex­ ception of the Texas Federation of Teachers, com­ plained about being tested t<> make sure they could read and write The test wasn't that hard — 97 per­ cent of the teachers who took it the first time passed — but the teachers complained anyway. But White, -saying that asking teachers to be able to read ar d w nte isn * that unreasonable, corret tly refused to be swayed by the teachers' complaints. Then the polls came out. White saw he was trailing former Gov, Bill Clements. S< at the state Democratic convention Saturda., White told the teachers: "W e asked you to take a test, and honestly I didn't realize the intensity of the stress that it would cause. For that I am genuinely sorry*.. Texas teachers have already taken the test, they've parsed, and thev are not going to have to take a test again." Missing from that speech is the phrase, "Okay, I'm sorry Now please vote for me so I don't lose mv job ." Still, even though White didn't say it, his speech screams it. White also didn't say outright that teachers won't have to take the subject-area testing that the educa­ tion reform bill require«- — but he certainly dropped a pretty strong hint. If that's the case, White’s doing more than ¡ust reo>gnizing complaints he should have ;gn* red He <- buckling because of them And are the teachers falling for it1 Hard to tell. Spokesmen for two groups the Texas Classroom Teachers' Association and the Association of Texas Professional Educators, said White's speech mav end up being a case of "too little, too late." Now let's talk about the gullible ones. After the speech, Annette Cootes of the Texas State Teachers' Association told the Austin A m encan-Statesm an "1 have talked to a number of teachers w ho were at the convention Thev were glad he did i t ... I even had one Austin teacher sav. Now I can work for him w ithout feeling guilty ' ” Ever since the education reform bill was passed, Texas teachers have shown thev re not that worried about whether the public education svstem is any good. In fact, thev don't really seem committed to any political values in particular Their whole ap­ proach to politics centers on who was the last person to stroke their egos White doesn't deserve to get a wav w ith such a blatant grab for votes, and people who are commit- ted t< education reform shouldn t let White take any more credit for the reforms that have been accom­ plished. Texas teachers mav let him get away with it, but then, thev never were committed to education reform m the first place — D a v id X a th e r OtK OgNCß YoO S E E , O L D M R .

In particular, there are two oft-repeated myths about Chile that the campus radicals continue to prop­ agate, namely that a Marxist Democracy existed in Chile before it was overthrown bv a ''U .S.-backed coup," and that it is the United States that is keeping Augusto Pi- noehet in power with American aid Both myths are patently false and utterly ab­ surd to anyone who knows the real histo­ ry* o f that country. First of all, Marxist Salvador Allende was nofthe popular choice of the Chilian people. In the 1970 presidential election 62 7 percent of the Chilian electorate voted against Allende and for his tw o democratic opponents, both of whom were opposed to his Marxist ideology However, Allende beat out the most popular of these two camdates by a plurality of 39,000 votes and thus captured the presidency. While it is true that Allende assumed the presidency legally, the actions he un­ dertook after taking office were anything but legal Despite his narrow victory, Al­ lende proceeded to set Chile on a course of radical marxism that was both unconstitu­ tional and opposed by an overwhelming majority of the Chilian people. This was what lead to his downfall, a fall that for­ mer Secretary of S*ate Henry Kissinger re­ lated in considerable detail in his book Years o f L p h eav al. Says Kissinger Once he was in office, his proclaimed intention was to revise the Chilian Constitution, to neutralize and suppress all opposition parties and media, and therbv make his own ruie-or at least that of his party-irreversible.' This he did with ruthless efficency In his war on the media, Allende used a variety of tactics. One of the most effective was the combination of a price free/e on increases the pnees that opposition newspapers could charge for their publications and to mandatory cost of newspaper employees. This tactic was quite effective in the times ot extreme hv pennflation that accompanied the Allende regime, causing productions costs to in­ crease while cutting off their source of in­ come This is the same tactic that the San- dinistas are now using against opposition newspaper La Prensa Allende also nationalized a huge num­ ber of businesses, many pf which were ow ned by Amencan companies. Not only did the Allende government refuse to pay compensation for these businesses (as re­ quired by international law), it actualJv tried to charge the companies a retroactive "excess profits tax" for using the land the companies owned before nationalization In addition to this, Allende declared a moratorium on all foreign debt, thus caus­ ing Chile to default on hundreds of mil­ lions of dollars in fonegn loans, many of them owed to the Amencan government and vanous Amencan banks. It was then, and only then, that the U.S. cut off all aid to Chile. So much for the myth that the U S "d e­ clared economic war" on the Allende re- gime. Dunng this time the domestic opposi­ tion to Allende's dictitorial rule steadily in­ creased Opposition to hi«» plan to reorgan­ ize all publa education to help utilize "the construction of a new socialist society" and the- h a r m o n i o u s development ot the young people in the values of socialist humanism' was nearly universal. Huge stnkes were instituted against the gover­ nment due to the low wages paid workers in newly nationalized industries. Finally, less than a month before the coup, the popularly elected Chilian con­ gress declared Allende guilty of "constant violations of the fundamental rights and guarantees established in the Constitu­ tion." On Sept. I I , the military went into re­ volt seizing th* palace th*- next dav K i s s ­ inger reports that Allende committed sui­ cide w ith a submachine gun given him by Fidel Castro.

The Daily Texan/Tuesday, J u l y 1 , 1 986/Page 5 Detection tests stop cheats in education T here's an old proverb that says the best cure," and I believe this, even if the prevention meth­ SCOTT BORSKY TEXAN COLUM NIST "prevention is od seems a bit unorthodox, This column deals with two re­ lated problems in our society that might be solved if the powers- that-be were willing to give some­ what unorthodox prevention methods a chance. than sweeping Problem number one is that the U.S. Senate is likely to pass a bill that would sharply limit the use of the polygraph, or lie detector, in the workplace. This bill is even more the bill passed in March that prohibited the use of polygraphs for p re-em­ ployment screening and on-the- job investigations. This new bill would prohibit lie detector tests for absolutely evervone except employees of military' contractors who have access to classified ma- tenal. Whereas the previous bill covered 8 0 percent of private em­ ployment, this bill would cover nearly 100 percent. Problem number two is that every week one University stu­ dent fails a course as a penalty for academic dishonesty. Last year 166 students received penalties for cheating, ranging from suspen­ sion to probation to grade penal­ ties. However, a bigger problem is that most cheaters go uncaught. Whether it's in the field of em ­ ployment or education, dishones­ is abundant. Sure, polygraph ty tests are not totally accurate and ma\ be intimidating, however; 1 don't think that the Senate should ban polygraphs when they have no alternative plan. It s one thing to otter a more viable solution to a problem when then' an* kinks in a present solution, but you don't prohibit Mimething when there's nothing to replace it. Fhe sponsor of the bill, Sen. O m n Hatch, said that 300,000 workers were being "m i‘»branded every vear as the result of faulty poly graph exami­ nations Assuming he is nght, how then would he account for the tact that polygraph tests have tripled in the last 10 y e a rs More than 2 million examinations are given each year most as part of pre-employment screening There are about 375 polygraph examin­ ers in Texas. These tests are so widely used that there must be ad- \antages to them,, because em- ployers would not waste thetr time with obsolete precautions. Yes, mavhe 3 0 0 ,0 0 0 are misbrand­ ed but there are over 100 million people in the work force, meaning 3 percent mitiht have faulty onh A s c r e e n i n g device, such as the poly cr.iph, is a valuable aid to the employ er w ho needs to be able to check discrepencies cm the ma­ chine with the person's applica­ tion and ask the applicant to ex­ plain them. A screening device for pre-employment serves the pur­ pose of preventing dishonest peo­ ple from eventually humiliating themselves and their employers Likew ise, wouldn't a pre-enroll­ ment honesty test for prospective University freshman prevent dis­ honest students from being admit- B » fc* jr * lC ted? Absurd, you saw Not really. Almost everone agree-- that the biggest problem with cheating lies in the large classes at the Universi­ ty. And since large classes will not change, we might as well get nd of the dishonest students. Cheat­ ing not only hurts the dishonest students but the honest students as well because cheaters who get higher grades make the grades of honest students less meaningful. Most campus cheating, however, goes undetected or is tacitly con­ doned by other students and fac- ulty. it stands now, After a student is accepted into the University, the dishonest find an open-market for cheating and stealing. Deceitful students are in every department on campus, and most operate unhindered. Few cases of cheating, even when caught, are ever reported. The system as is weighted in tavor of students be­ cause most faculty are not familiar with the procedure of reporting dishonest students. And when these students are reported, disi- plinary actions are not harsh at all. Students are rarely ever suspend­ ed. We should be extremely upset about this problem V\e -houldn't let students who steal and cheat benefit from their dishonesty The answ er is to weed out dis­ honest students before they ever step foot on our campus. A pre­ enrollment honesty test is a must to solve this problem. 1 agree that using a polygraph mav not be the most civil wav to prevent deceitful students from entering L’T but something like a polygraph can screen prospective students and be a perfectly ¡ustifiable proce­ dure A few vears ago a new 'hones tv " test for prospective employees was developed called the Beta File System.

These re­ sults should be looked at along with the SAT, class rank, etc. But at least this screening device could be a beginning solution to the problem of dishonesty the workplace and, more importantly, at our University. in Borskv is a senior m social u ’o r i Editor needs to flex muscles Come on, Texan editors, you put him up to this didn't you?

Okay, enough sarcasm Mr. Murray, you accuse liberals of mindlessness —— of slavish opposition to the Reagan administration without consideration of its merits But your argument is as non-specific as our supposed knee-jerk mentahty. How are we acting blindly? On what policies have we not given Reagan his due? And what, pray tell, are the "social and eco­ nomic policies of a decade ago that we are trying to reaffirm? Those of the Carter administration’ Surely not the bluepri it for a liberal utopia How about a little precision, maturity and editorial muscle? 1 know the Texan is desperate for Fmng Line let­ ters, but must you resort to this kind of coercion’ Goun Bhat Plan II Senate control: the 1986 non-voting issue Congressional and senatorial campaigns in non-presidential election years, in r the absence of any overriding national issue, are usually local affairs, and that has been the case so far this year. Traditionally, the voter backs or rejects a candidate for the House or Senate because of familiarity with his indi­ vidual record and style, and the answer to that old political question: what have vou done for me lately’ Because most incumbents who want to be re­ elected tend to their constituents needs, the an­ swer usually is good enough to keep them in office. That, and the fact that incumbency means financial contribution»», makes it tough to oust the relatively familiar incumbent whose name has been in the local newspapers and whose face has been on local television. Ordinarily then, the Republicans with 18 in­ cumbent senators up for re-election this year to only nine Democrats (plus seven races for open seats) ought to be in good shape to retain con­ trol of the Senate. But the m b is that 15 of those 18 GOP senators were first elected in 19®), along with the first Ronald Reagan landslide, and Reagan won't be on the ballot this time with political coattails Republicans can grab onto. So the value of their incumbency is more in question than usual. President Reagan enters the equation, how­ ever because he ha> an obvious interest in his Republican Party retaining Senate control But from all appearances, that factor is not one that yoters are weighing particularly as they consid­ er their senatonal choices state bv state. For that reason, few* Senate candidates are pitching their appeals on the fate of the Senate The one place where its control has become an issue is in Neyada where retiring Republican J ACK GERMOND and JULES wrrcovER THE BALTIMORE BEVNGSCX Sen. Paul Laxalt persuaded former Democratic Rep James Santmi to switch parties and run as a Republilcan obstensibly to hold the seat for the GOP and Laxalt's best buddy in the White 1 louse There, the injection of the issue of Senate control appears to have backfired to the advan­ tage of Democrtic Rep. Harry Reid, Santini s opponent. Reid has hammered home that the Senate seat should be decided on matters of interest to Nevadans, not the national Republi­ can Party or even the president. "W e Demo­ c r a t s so not march to the beat of an ideological drummer m Washington, D C ., he told the Clark County Democratic: Convention recently. "This vear Traces are about Nevada and Nevad­ ans.” Still, because GOP control of the Senate is critical to the president's hopes of carrying on hi»» agenda through his second term, he is ex­ pected to »-tump aggressiveUy this fall making that appeal But while his popularity makes him a star tund-raiser, the |ury remains out on his ability to help other Republican candidates, either with direct pitches for them individually of with urgings that people vote Republican to strengthen his own hand in Washington. In the off-vear elections of his first term, in 1982, Republicans ran under the umbrella slo­ gan of "Stay the Course"— meaning the Reagan course — and iost 26 House seats and seven goyemorships while holding the line in the Senate. Some have contended that in light of the economic recession then gripping the country, and histoncal slippage bv the party in the White House in off-year elections, that wasn't so bad. But there was little indication in the results that voters were more concerned with staying the course than with measuring their congressional candidates on personality or local-issue yardsticks. One House Democrat, Armed Services Com­ mittee Chairman Les Aspin, suggests that his party can use control of the Senate as the theme it now lacks by pointing to voter concern about Reagan on such matters as scrapping the SALT II arms-control limits, contra aid in Nicaragua and the old standby, Social Security. The theme should be, he says that Democrats should be elected a»» w atchdogs against Reagan's excesses in his final vears, when neither he nor his party has to face the voters. Here again, however, that approach depends on \ oter»- looking at the 1986 election as a whole rather than as individual races. More ef­ fective may be the approach some Democrats already are to seperate Reagan's personal popularity from his much less popular policies, and then guardedly criti­ cizing them taking — trying In any event, for all the talk in political circles about the tight tor Senate control, voters seem more likely to make their decisions this fall, barring some new overriding national issue, on what the incumbents have done for them late­ ly, or have failed to do.

AIDS is an incurable and fatal condition caused by a virus which attacks white blood cells that are important to the body's immune system. The disease, which has been diagnosed in 22,000 Americans since 1981, is spread through intimate contact with a victim's body fluids, such as blood and semen. The majori­ ty of the cases have involved male homosexuals, intravenous drug abusers and people receiv­ ing infected blood or blood prod­ ucts. AIDS has killed half of the diagnosed ca^es.

Jim Wilson, UT System manager of endowment real estate, said the Meadowbrook house, which origi­ nally was listed at $895,000. is now selling for $769,500. Wilson said the price was lowered after a re-evalua­ tion of the current market. "The prices are simply lower than they were last year when the origi­ nal price was determined," he said. Tom Rice of Tom Rice Real Estate, a company that handles properties in the Tarrytown area where the located, Meadowbrook house said a glut of large houses has made business in more expensive markets slow. is "The Austin market in the high- price range is verv limited," Rice said. "People who buy in that price range have a lot of choice." Wilson said the University was given another house, Sweetbriar, than several years ago. Rather m aintain 11-room the Meadowbrook house, UT president William Cunningham will live in his private home while Sweetbriar is being renovated. Wilson said the proceeds from the sale of the Meadowbrook house will go toward paying the renovation costs of the new president's mansion. The University president’s mansion still bears a for sale’ sign even though the price is now only $769,500. Carlos Morenc Daily Texan Staff The Meadowbrook house was built as a private residence in 1941. After plans for a two-story, native stone house similar to the Gover­ nor's Mansion fell through in 1961, the U n iv e rsity bought the Meadowbrook house for $45,(XX). The house was used only until 1963, when then-president Joseph Smiley left for the University of Col­ orado. After Smiley left, the UT Sys­ tem Board of Regents temporarily abolished the presidency. There was no need for a presidential man­ sion without a president, so the house was sold. When the regents re-created the presidency in 1967, new President Norman Hackerman had to live in an apartment with his family and the U n iv e rs ity bought the Meadowbrook house again Alumni and UT historic groups have shown little interest in pre­ serving the house. Roy Vaughan, executive director of the UT Ex-Stu- dents' Association, said the idea of renovating the Meadowbrook home was not even considered by his group "It never really did cross our minds, because there was no nostal­ gia," Vaughan said. "It's never even been on the agenda at one of our meetings. That's a prettv good indication that there's no interest in it." EVERY W ÒMAN’S CONCERN Confidenti«!, Profession«!

BROW N Daily Texan Staff Austin black leaders said Monday the results of a recent Austin Police Department survey may not accu­ rately reflect the opinion of the black community. The survey, conducted earlier this year, asked 909 residents to rate the department in areas such as profes­ sionalism, police pay and treatment of minorities. It was commissioned by the department and conducted by the Institute of Urban Studies at UT Arlington. The U.S. Department of Justice also assisted in the survey. Overall, those polled gave the de­ partment an "above average" rating of 6.69 on a 10-point scale, particu­ larly commending the department's crime prevention efforts and com­ munity service projects. A report on the survey, made public Fndav, divides the results into three responses given by groups: Hispanics, blacks and whites. The minonty responses were significantly different from those of the whites on several is­ sues, particularly perceived treat­ ment of minorities by police. in One question the survey asked, "D o vou believe that officers of this department treat minorities with less respect, or with unneces­ sary abuse, to a greater extent than they might in dealing with others7" Thirty-two percent of the Hispan­ ics and 42 percent of the blacks who answered said mistreatment occurs frequently or all the time, ln com­ parison, 7 percent of the white respondents agreed. But M o m s Winn vice president of the Au->tin chapter of the Nation­ al Association for the Advancement irf Colored People, said the minonty response percentages were too low. "I think it I took a poll of black peo­ ple of all classes, it winild ^how that 42 percent is low ” he said He said he thought the percent­ age of black people w ho think police mistreatment of minorities occurs frequently or all the time is between 50 percent and 60 percent. A police employee who helped conduct the survey, Leroy Hiller, said he has received no complaints about the survey from minonty groups. But Dorothy Turner, president of the Black Citizens Task Force, said, "M y conversations with black peo­ ple tells me that 70 or 80 percent of them feel that abuse occurs fre­ quently." She said her group studied the survey carefully and the results did not surprise them. "W e knew it would come out that w ay," she said. "The mam problem with the survey was that they didn't go into the grass-roots community. They didn't go knocking on doors " The survey was conducted using a quota system rather than random sampling. The report stated the re­ sults were based on "a nucleus of delegates from carefully selected, broadly representative organiza­ t io n s and other groups m the com­ munity included The groups neighborhood organizations and civic clubs ( hark s Miles, a member of the city’ Planning L ommission w’ho be­ longs to several groups such as the NAACP, attributed the ditterences in minontv and white responses to demographics. "The living patterns explain the discrepancy Many of the whites in the survey probably don't see much abuse," he said. "Opinions on such matters depend on where you live and what you see." He also disagreed with the report­ ed black response as to the frequen­ cy of minontx mistreatment " I im­ agine it's pretty high — probably higher than the 42 percent in the re­ port," he said. Governor’s apology gets mixed review By SEAN S. PRICE Daily Texan Staff Officials from three of the state's four teacher groups said Monday they are encouraged by Gov. Mark White's apologies to teachers, but that he still has a long way to go before he can recapture teachers' support. White told the state Democratic convention Saturday that he was "genuinely sorry" for any "stress" the Texas Examination of Current Adminstrators and Teachers, or TECAT, caused educators. "W e asked you to take a test and, honestly, I didn't realize the intensity* of the stress it would cause you," White said. In 1982, White had the endorse­ ments of the Texas State Teachers Association and the Texas Federa­ tion of Teachers and broad support among teachers. That support has been credited with helping him defeat incumbent Bill Clements, White's current op­ ponent. The other two groups — the Tex­ as Classroom Teachers Association and the Association of Texas Profes­ sional Educators — do not make po­ litical endorsements. However, this year the largest group, TSTA, has so far chosen to make no endorsements in the race, and White has received only the en­ dorsement of the TFT, the smallest group. TSTA spokesman Brad Ritter said although White's apology to educa­ is not "courage," tors enough to earn a second endorse­ ment. took it "I don't think this in and of itself will affect whether we endorse a candidate," Ritter said. "It will de­ pend on what the membership is doing and what the candidates are saying over the next few months. "A t this point, neither of the can­ didates meet the criteria to earn our endorsement," Ritter said. terested to hear what White and Clements have to say before the TSTA summer conference July 19-21 in Austin. Mike McLamore, a spokesman for the Association of Texas Profession­ al Educators, said the 44,000-mem­ ber group is "relieved" that White has acknowledged teachers' objec­ tions to the test. "W h eth er is enough to appease teachers I don't know," said McLamore. "But it's a step in the right direction." the statement McLamore said the apology is a "positive step" but that teachers have been "shut out" of the deci­ sion-making process concerning ed­ ucation legislation. McLamore said teachers will need to see "some real open-door poli­ cies" before they will consider sup­ porting White again. "H e's coming (to teachers) a few months before an electio n ," McLamore said. "It may be too lit­ tle, too late as far as teachers' votes g ° ” McLamore said though Clements was not widely supported by teach­ ers during his term as governor, he was not an "anti-teacher" governor. McLamore said Clements "made a few statements in the press that turned teachers off," but that teach­ ers have been more affected by White's policies. "Teachers tell me I remember what Clements said about us, but 1 remember what White did to us,' McLamore said. TCTA spokeswoman Jeri Stone said the group, with 25,000 mem­ bers, is "gratified" by the apology but also said it was probably "too little, too late" to win teachers' votes. Teachers will be watching White — especially dunng the proposed special session — to see if he truly is teachers, to helping committed Stone said. TFT officials could not be reached Ritter said teachers will also be in­ for comment.
