A record crowd attended the first round Saturday U st year's City Council voted to ban tin' races on Town I ake, but the present council voted in February to overturn that decision East Austinites said after the vote they would protest against the races By CARO LE C H ILES City Reporter Austin police Tuesday opened an in­ ternal investigation into allegations of brutality by an officer during an arrest at Saturday’s dragjmat races. Police Chief Frank Dyson said during a press conference. Tile investigation, which has received top priority status, is based on film dips of the o fficer arresting persons demonstrating against the races. Dyson said. Nineteen protesters were arrested and charged with willful refusal to obey a lawful order All but two have been released on bond EAST AUSTIN activist Paul Her nandez and his brother Sam, members of the Brown Berets, remain in jail because they refuse to be photographed or fingerprinted Both said Monday they are on hunger strikes and will continue taking only liquids until charges against them are dropped.

Texan Staff Photo by Jim Thomas Ombudsman reports on year . . MI T I f e e A c m D I ’ C T By M ELISSA SEG R EST General Reporter Communication between students and administration needs to be increased and faculty advisers need to be more accessible, University Ombudsman Clare Buie said in a year-end report to President Rogers. The report was sent to Rogers, Dean of Students James Hurst, Vice President for Student Affairs James Duncan and members of the Advisory Council on Stu­ dent Affairs. Buie outlined the concept of the ombudsman’s office, its powers and services and successes in settling grievances in the first half of the report. She named lack of clear communication and civility between students and administration and lack of a student bill of rights and responsibilities as her major areas of concern dur­ ing the year. Under the heading of academic matters, Buie’s report said improvement had been shown, but several problems still existed. “ I HAVE S E E N STUDENTS who were refused a degree because of incorrect advising. Transfer students have been told they had credit in one course and after I___ _________ having taken another one, were informed it was actually the course they had just taken they had transfer credit in,” the report said . . . .. - . Buie also cited grade disputes and recommended departments and colleges take more initiative in com­ municating rules and policies to faculty and in enforcing those rules when they are broken. " I have worked with students who were falsely in­ formed they had been admitted to UT One such student had already come here from another country before she was informed of the error,” the report said, recommen­ ding more closely monitoring admissions decisions. D ISC IP LIN E PR O BLEM S were outlined in the report, citing professors who had ‘ taken it upon themselves to decide the academic penalty for accusa­ tion of academic dishonesty,” it said. Confusion and inaccessibility of counselors were ma­ jor problems in the Office of Student Financial Aid, the report said. Buie recommended the employment of more counselors in the office. Problems within the Student Health Center, the Divi­ sion of Housing and Food, the libraries and the Parking and Traffic Division were also noted. Because of the large number of students who seek . help from the ombudsman, Buie proposed two “ viable possibilities' for decreasing the workload. ONE PROPOSAL WAS to have a full-time staff om­ budsman, a half-time student assistant ombudsman and a half-time student clerical assistant. “ This option, the most prevalent across the United States, would provide thorough coverage of the office...,” the report said. The second proposal was a staff consisting of the pre­ sent ombudsman position, a clerical assistant as exists presently and a half-time student assistant ombudsman “ Clare s proposals may not be specific enough for us to get our teeth Into. Most of them are quite general,” Dean of Students Hurst said Tuesday. TH E PROPOSAL to expand the ombudsman's staff “ should be given serious consideration, ’ though, Hurst said “ But, I ’m not in favor of a full-time ombudsman. I ’d much rather keep a student in the job. A lot of credibility accrues to the office with a student in the position.” Many of the problems singled out by Buie in her report were unavoidable within a large university system, Hurst said. Most divisions and departments were trying to give such problems continuous attention, he added State representative races Bode, Yeakel run for District 37-B By TOM SW IN NEA General Reporter Austin state representative races in­ clude four yawners and a cliffhanger. Democratic state Reps. Gonzalo Barrientos (37-A), Gerald Hill (37-C) and Wilhelmina Delco (37-D) are unop­ posed in th eir re-election bids. Republican Walter Wendlandt is run­ ning without opposition for his party’s nomination for 37-B. But for the Dem ocratic 37-B slot, U niversity students will see familiar names: Mary Jane Bode and Lee Yeakel. The district takes in the University area, and the office has been tagged as the “ student representative” in the up­ coming Legislature. For both candidates, its a matter of experience. Bode claims her many years of repor­ ting on the Legislature andiier months as state representative make her the q u alified candidate to represent students in the 1979 session. ATTORNEY Y E A K E L bases his ex­ perience on his track record as a prac­ ticing lawyer and his “ real feeling I could accomplish something up there.” For these and several other reasons, he decided to run against the candidate who defeated him by 66 votes last December. “ The main issue is still a matter of experience and capability. I ll have 13 months experience as an acting legislator when the session starts, plus (repor­ 17 years on-the-job training ting),” Bode said. Yeakel decided to run again because, “ I believe I have a much better un­ derstanding of what the district as a whole is made of. “ What the students need and the University community needs is more in­ put into the decision making process. O fficeholders should not restrict th e m se lv e s to s ta y in g a t the Legislature. I want to sit down and talk to the regents I want to open the lines of communication,” Yeakel said. BO D E SAID she has concerned h erself since her election with researching various areas of student concern. She plans to prefile bills in N o v e m b e r w ith landlord/tenant habitability codes, stan­ dardization of grade recording throughout the University System and placement of a student as a voting d e a lin g member on the Board of Regents Another area of interest for Bode is public school financing She said she is anxious to insure an equal education for all Texas schoolchildren, and will ac­ tively work with other members of the Legislature to hammer out legislation w hich w ill co m p ly w ith c o u rt guidelines. The main difference in this race is one of style. Bode has many legislative enactments in mind that will benefit the University. Yeakel takes a more strident view of government and University interaction. He favors negotiating with the ad­ ministration for change before going to the Legislature for a remedy Referring to Bode s proposed CPA bill, Yeakel (Ple a se see B O D E , Page 7) Texan Staff Photo by Jim Thomas Barrio si, boat races no. ower to subpoena tapes in question By MARK DOOLEY Slate Reporter Whether state legislative com­ mittees have authority to subpoena the Texas Educators Political Action Committee's tapes of interviews with gubernatorial candidates is un­ certain, Speaker of the House Billy Clayton said Tuesday. “ There s been some question about it (legislative subpoena power). It would probably have to be deter­ mined by the courts,” Clayton said But the extent of legislative sub­ poena power may well remain un­ resolved by the courts Russell Owen Jr., chairman of the TEPAC board of trustees, said TEPAC would not protest subpoena of the tapes unless advised by its lawyers that legal grounds exist. “ It is our intention to abide by the subpoena,” Owen said. “ IT S R E G R E T T A B L E to me ... that the tapes themselves have become an issue that has to go to the House of Representatives. To pick on us as just one faction, to single us out, is flattering but a little bit ridiculous,” Owen added Monday, Reps Jim Nugent, D- Kerrville, and Ramp Atkinson, D- New Boston, asked the House Ad­ ministration and Public Education Committees to subpoena the tapes so voters can consider whether guber­ natorial candidates made any com­ mitments when vying for T EPA C ’s endorsement. Nugent and Atkinson both support Gov. Dolph Briscoe in the governor s race and are members of a self- proclaim ed “ truth squad for Briscoe.” The third member of the public education subcommittee on financial accountability. Rep. Lee Jackson, R- Dallas, was not present to vote on Atkinson's motion for subpoena but later said he would have voted against seeking a subpoena. The subpoena request was directed to the administration committee in an effort to obtain funds for legal representation if the education com­ mittee encounters legal challenges to its subpoena power Rep Tom Massey, D-San Angelo and chairman of the Public Educa­ tion Committee, said he would con­ sider the subpoena request after con- ferring with other com m ittee members and the subcommittee members. L IK E CLAYTON, Massey is uncer­ tain of the extent of legislative sub­ poena power. “ I know we’ve got general subpoena powers ... I've never subpoenaed anybody. I haven’t looked into the limitations of them (subpoena powers),” Massey said. Rep. James Laney, D-Hale Center and chairman of the House Ad­ ministration Committee, was un­ available for comment Tuesday. “ I think a House committee can subpoena anything it needs to fulfill a state purpose,” Nugent said, while conceding the possibility of legal challenge to the committee's sub­ poena power. Nugent rejects arguments that T E P A C ’s status as a private organization exempts it from com­ pliance with House subpoenas, Agreeing with Nugent, House Parliamentarian Bob Johnson said, “ everything is subject to subpoena.” ACCORDING TO Section 41 of House Rule 5, “ each standing com­ mittee shall have the power and authority to issue process to witnesses at any place in the State of (Please see P O W E R , Page 7.)

Story, Page E d ito r’s Note: This is the third of a five-part series profiling guber­ natorial candidates in the May 6 prim ary. By DONALD HOWARD Staff Writer Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Clements says there is only one issue of importance Republican voters should consider when they vote in the primary May 6. “ There really isn t any other issue (in the primary) other than who can win in November,” Clements has been saying since he announced his candidacy last November. Clements, chief executive of the world’s largest oil and gas drilling firm, SEDCO, Inc. makes it clear he has a better chance to win in November because he has the financial resources to contest the Democrats in the guber­ natorial campaign HIS O PPO NENT in the Republican primary, Ray Hutchison, claims that Gem en Is is trying to buy the nomina­ tion Clements has not denied that his financial position is his best asset T h e t r a d it io n a l p ro b le m of Republican candidates in Texas has been lack of funds to match the Democrats’ campaign spending The money needed to buy adequate televi­ sion and radio time has always been scarce for GOP candidates in the last weeks of state campaigns. Clements says it will not be that way if he is nominated “ If we Republicans are not prepared to meet them (Democrats) on some kind of even term basis and compete with them for TV time, radio time, travel time, direct mail and so forth, how in the world are we ever gonna get elected?” Clements said in an inter­ view. Clements said it is impossible to reach every voter and “ take his pulse and massage him real good and then say ‘are you gonna vote for m e?’ ” H E ALSO T H IN K S he can win because he has wide contacts across the state that will allow him to cut across party lines to attract independent and conservative Democratic voters Clements' campaign has been marked by speculation from Hutchison that » Armstrong and U.S. Sen John Tower were “ enthusiastic" in their hopes that Clements would win the GOP nomina­ tion. Hutchison countered by saying he had “ substantial doubts" that those Republicans ever told Clements they were in support of his nomination. None of the Republicans Clements named at that time have publicly an­ nounced their support for him. A month ago Clements said Tower told him Clements’ nomination would be worth up to 200,000 votes for Tower Hutchison attacked Clements’ state­ ment and Tower, who is running for a fourth term in the U.S. Senate, issued a denial of the statement through his re­ election campaign d irector Ken Towery. “ Sen. Tower says that he doesn’t remember mentioning B ill Dements name in that regard,” Towery said.

Brezhnev said C a rte r's decision to defer production w as a “ half-m easu re” and called on W ashington to sign an agreem ent with Moscow under which neither superpow er would produce the weapon. The Soviets are believed to be several years aw ay from developing the bomb them selves IN A SPEECH to the Youth Com­ the m u n ist L eague, B rezhnev said neutron bomb — which kills hum ans while leaving buildings in tact — was a “ new. especially inhum an weapon of m ass annihilation “ Our stand on this issue is absolutely clear and radical — before it is too late (we should) conclude an agreem ent b e tw e e n th e c o u n tr ie s c o n c e rn e d reciprocally renouncing m anufacture of this w eapon,” Brezhnev said ‘‘P r e s id e n t C a r te r h a s r e c e n tly declared, however, th at he has put off a final decision on beginning the m anufac­ ture of neutron bom bs." Brezhnev said. “This, of course, does not settle tffe m a tte r and is at b est a half-m easure. “ But I can inform you that we have taken the p resid en t’s statem en t into ac­ count and that we, too, will not begin production of neutron arm s so long as the United S tates does not do so.” SECRETARY OF STATE C y ru s Vance visited Moscow last week for talks on reaching a new SALT accord, but a num ber of problem s rem ained to be resolved. “ I b e l i e v e , h o w e v e r , t h a t by reciprocal effo rts based on sensible and realistic com prom ise we can com plete the drafting of an agreem ent that will justly take into account the security in­ te re sts of both pow ers,” Brezhnev said. Carter says no soap WASHINGTON (U P I) - P resident C arter Tuesday rejected Soviet P re si­ dent Leonid B rezhnev’s proposal to ban production of the neutron w arhead both in the United S tates and Soviet Union. At a news conference. C arter said Brezhnev’s proposal, m ade in a Soviet television ap p earance e a rlie r in the day, “ has no significance at a ll.” The president said the United S tates developed the high-radiation neutron w arhead specifically to offset the Soviet bloc's 3-1 num erical advantage in tanks deployed in C entral Europe THE NEUTRON WARHEAD would shower invading tank arm ies with dead­ ly radiation, killing their crew s but leav­ ing most surrounding buildings intact. th a t n e u tr o n ‘‘B re z h n e v k n o w s weapons w ere designed to be used against m assive tank fo rces,” C arter said “ ...

Instead, the Salisbury leaders asked the British and American governments to arrange a test of the popularity of the majority-rule ac­ cord signed here last month by Prime Minister lan D. Smith and three moderate black leaders. The form the test would take was left open, but the transitional administration appeared to be inviting London and Washington to supervise an election or a referendum, or to appoint a tribunal to sound out public opinion. “ We are satisfied that collectively we have obtained the support of the overwhelming majority of the population for the Salisbury agreement and we ask that the British and United States governments should consider putting this to an early test/* the four leaders said in a statement issued by the Executive Council, the body that heads the transitional administra­ tion.

Middle East dilemmas Jets, peace on Dayan’s mind WASHINGTON (( P l) Foreign M inister Moshe Dayan arrived Tuesday for talks on Middle E ast peace and the U S plane sales package a fte r hinting Israel might p refer going without A m erican je ts if it m eant the Arabs would also get them Day an e a rlie r said that if Is r a e l’s stubborn opposition to U S . plane sales to Saudi Arabia m eant his country would be “ punished” then “ we ll have to accept the punishm ent.” Dayan welcom ed at W ashington’s National Airport by Assis­ tan t Secretary of S tate Harold Saunders, begins talks with S ecretary of State Gyrus Vance W ednesday — the day the $4 8 billion, 200-plane package is expected to be subm itted to Congress. PR E SID E N T CARTER WANTS TO PROVIDE the e n tire a ir cra ft package jointly to Israeli, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The a irc ra ft package also faces strong opposition in Congress where several House leaders have called on C arter to consider the sales separately to “ avoid a sp irit of confrontation with Congress.” During his two day stay in W ashington, to be followed by a visit Monday by P rim e M inister M enachem Begin, Dayan will also try to find a com prom ise plan for the future of occupied Arab lands as p a rt of a Middle E a st peace agreem ent. Before leaving Israel, Dayan again expressed Israeli opposi­ tion to th e ( a rte r ad m in istratio n ’s proposed sale of w arplanes to Egypt and Saudi A rabia as part of a package deal that in eludes the sale of m ore planes to Israel. “ WE FEEL IT IS OUR RIGHT to express our feelings about the selling of w arplanes to Saudi A rabia and Egypt,” Dayan said “ We think it will endanger Israel. We object to it.” A package deal is not the right w ay,” Dayan said. “ If we will Im- punished because of our position about that, then we'U have to accept the punishm ent.” The deal includes 60 a d v a n c e F-15s for Saudi Arabia, 50 less sophisticated F-5Ks to Egypt and 90 F-15s and F-16s to Israel. The Israelis already have 25 F-15s on order. Concerning his talks with Vance, Dayan said, “ What we have to discuss really and I Hunk this com es as the top priority - is w hether there is a practical plan about Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the Gaza Strip or about Sinai over which we can reac h an agreem ent with the other party. “ If there is, then the wording for th at will be found,” Dayan said “ And if there isn t, ju st another paper with more words really won’t be the an sw er.” BEFORE HE TOOK OFF, Dayan suggested the U.S.-Israeli dialogue should not get bogged down in quibbling over seman­ tics such as Isra e l’s interpretation of U N.

Generally, Three researchers with the school's Institute for Social Research reported Tuesday that more young people smoke pot now than ever before and that fewer than ever oppose its use or feel it has harmful effects. the researchers said, young people consider regular cigarette smoking to be more harmful than regular marijuana use and regular drinking of alcoholic beverages to be about as harmful as regular . ____ ^ marijuana use The ongoing study has determined that marijuana usage increased steadily from 1975 through 1977 By 1977, 56 percent of the high school seniors surveyed had at least tried marijuana, an increase of about 9 per­ cent over the three years Judge tines iranian students for Beeville sit-in BEEVILLE (UPI) - A municipal judge Tuesday fined 72 Iranians $28 50 each on misdemeanor convictions involving a March 9 sit-in at the Bee County College gymnasium.

In this sense, for the Chicano- Mextcanos of East Austin, the boat races represent an invasion of their community property and a further un­ compensated degredation of what little community resources they still possess after years of abusive industrial con­ struction. which has chased away thousands of residents and has virtually ghettoized those* remaining ONE WOULD think that it would have been clear to everyone that the real “ outside agitators" and provocateurs last weekend were the boat racers and pleasure seekers who flocked to Festival Beach by the thousands, and not the East Austin Survival Task Force, a coalition of neighborhood organizations that was formed to protest the location of the races in East Austin But it is important to remember that there are two points of view in Austin the point of view of the rich and powerful, who control the city’s govern­ ment. media and industry; and the point of view of the poor, who have nothing but their own integrity to protect. Clearly Mayor McClellan expresses the point of view of the rich and power­ ful when she condemns the protesters who were arrested and brutalized by the Austin city police According to the mayor and other members of the City Council, the disturbance was the product of a “ minority” of, for the most part, “ outside agitators” who were only interested in furthering their own in­ terests and who, therefore, refused to listen to the solutions offered by a benevolent City Council and Austin Boat Club. What is. perhaps, equally disturbing is the mayor and other council members' insinuation that the East Austin com­ munity was really on their side in this issue. An opinion poll undertaken by the Am erican Statesm an (a ch arter member of Austin’s rich and powerful class) supposedly revealed that East Austin residents really enjoy having the boat races in their backyards. But as any social scientist can confirm, opinion polls are no objective measure of truth. Statistics prove nothing, they merely support a contention, which in turn reflects the biases of the pollster Moreover, the reporter who conducted the poll was an Anglo, and this fact alone was bound to skew the results. A poll conducted by the East First Street Neighborhood Center only a week after the Statesman's appeared revealed the opposite to be true. The important ques­ tion here is. who has more influence on public opinion? TH E MAYOR and others now use the Satesman’s made-to-order information to support their view that Saturday’s demonstration was inspired by a minority, that it had to be supported from outside, and that the police in­ tervention was “ most likely” a reflec­ tion of the w ill of the majority of the residents living in the area. Underlying this view, however, is racism On the one hand, what the mayor and others are saying is “ we understand them” and we know what is best for them; ’ ’ and on the other, what they are trying to ac­ complish is the division of the Chicano- Mexicano community. It is not farfetched to compare this patronizing attitude and divisive strategy to those of the plantation owners of the ante-bellum South or the present day architects of South African apartheid Carrying the comparison one step further, in a society divided by race and class, an “ agitator” may be any op­ pressed person who dares to reassert control over his or her life. who dares to challenge the justice of a system that has one law for the rich and another for the poor, and who dares to attack the privileges of the rich. South Africa has its Soweto and its segregated schools, and Austin has its barrio and its boat races East Austin has few spokespersons for its people. Among these, the East Austin Survival Task Force and the Brown Berets have had the courage to defend their community against depor­ tations. police brutality, unemployment and poverty. And. today they have learned that the forces of repression can be turned against them if they even threaten the comfortable arrangement of things established by Austin's lan­ downers, wealthy bankers and country club members. Thus, accused of outside agitation, beaten and harassed they are learning the lessons of Martin Luther King, Malcom X and Ruben Salazar, and soon there will be no more boat races or no more East Lubeck is an editor in the Center fur Middle Eastern Studies. University minorities neglected By John Lopez A com prehensive study of a ll minorities at the University of Texas was conducted in the Spring Semester of 1977 by the Research and Evaluation unit of the Dean of Students' Office With the help of the Minority Student Services unit. a comprehensive Black and Chicano Needs Survey questionaire was constructed and mailed out to University students Reliable sources said that such a report was completed ****** rn ******** by August 1977 and was even distributed to various offices since that time Repeated checks with Dr. Vargas have led to nowhere, the constant replies being that a similar study is be­ ing done on Anglos for a comparison study. To release the completed study on minorities is to do unjustice to the in­ complete Anglo study. IF S U C H is the case, why has this report been released to other areas of the University when those (minorities) most concerned about it are being denied access to it? One can speculate that results un­ favorable to minorities have been un­ covered By the way. one section of the questionaire dealt with questions about instances of discrimination experienced at UT. Could it be that the University is try­ ing to keep these results under wraps until HEW has completed its investiga­ tion of possible misconduct? It should be comforting to the Administration to know that HEW will most likely look the other way and will probably close its eyes to any findings of racism or dis­ crimination against minorities in the whole state of Texas TO D EN Y discrimination exists is to imply that the Mexican War never took place, injustices have never been perpetrated against minorities and that life for the Chicano has been but a piece of cake During the Spring of 1977. there were 2227 Chicanos (5 percent of student body 1. 729 Blacks. 200 orientals and 80 native Americans The representation of minorities on campus was 9,7 percent of the total student body in contrast to 30 I percent 11970 census, higher today) for the entire state of Texas Chicanos made up 20 to 25 percent of the state s population Apparently, it is very ob­ vious that something is keeping minorities away in droves from the University. Financial difficulties and unrespon­ siveness by the Administration are ma­ jor concerns that minorities want to see action on. Academics such as high school preparation, problems in math plus related subjects, and career oppor­ tunities are other topics of major con­ cern. Finances in contrast to grade point average could be an interesting study. WHAT ABOUT a need for more Chicano faculty, staff, as well as more minority students7 Impersonal treat­ ment bv campus services, large class size. types of exams, amount of study time required, part-time work. lack of inexpensive meals and boarding, in­ debtedness to educational loans and the admission to graduate school are cer­ tainly interesting questions that the minorities would like to have the Ad­ ministration reply to. In reference to The Daily Texan, minorities have been looking for infor­ mation about themselves and their ac­ tivities, which have not been covered in the Texan because most of the staff is Anglo A minority beat reporter has been hired (with much difficulty) for the present semester However, with the prevalent backlash of the Bakke decision i irrelevent whether he wins or loses), affirmative action has suffered a serious loss, and retaining this ' beat reporter for another semester is highly improbable. It is the opinion of many Blacks and Chicanos that specific offices are not serving the needs of these minorities to a large extent, and that the report (survey) will prove this out.
