The University of Texas at
Tyler and Tyler Junior College
are closer to a proposed partner-
ship. The partnership agreement
between the two institutions is a
result of HB 2578 proposed by
State Representative Ted Kamel,
R-Tyler, during the 73rd legisla-
tive session. Kamel's bill also
called for four-year status of UT
Tyler, an upper level university.
Sen. Bill Ratliff, R-Mount
Pleasant, wasinTylerFriday, June

ship agreement would work. He

give up on making UT Tyler a
four-year university.
"As long as I serve in the Texas
legislature, I will make the expan-
sion of UT Tyler to a four-yearr/ie
top priority," said Kamel in a let-
ter to members of the Tyler Cham-
ber of Commerce.
Mark Heckman, director of the
public information office at UT
Tyler, said the partnership out-
lined by Ratliff will be considered
in August The proposal will be
presented to the Higher Education
Coordinating Board in October
and the partnership may become
effective in the fall of 1995.
The final agreement was
worked out by UT Tyler's Dr. Joe
Stafford, associate chancellor for
planning and academic programs
at the UT System, and Dr. Gerald
Morris, then-UT Tyler vice-presi-
dent for academic affairs. TJC was

the men at the department, but by
everyone who ever tasted his chili

McClenny said Judge James
Cowart, who replaced Judge B aid-
win after his illness, has done an
excellent job. He said the council
is comfortable with Judge Cowart
in that position until a replace-
ment can be found.
"We were excellent friends,"
said Councilman Herchal Duncan.
"We did a lot of joking around at
Rotary meetings and at City Hall."
Duncan accepted the Rotarian
of the Year Award on behalf of the
late Earl Baldwin Tuesday night,

Club Awards Banquet.
said the partnership provides for
joint academic programs.
Ratliff also said the agreement
provides college students in this
area the opportunity for a seam-
less and efficient route to a four-
year experience and attempts to
overcome obstacles to the signifi-
cant expansion of graduate course
offerings at UT Tyler.
"The original bill focused on
partnerships that allow junior col-
leges and universities to grow and
develop together," said Kamel.
"With the help of other legislators
in East Texas, we were able to get
about 75 percent of the bill through
during the last 60 days of the leg-
islative session."
Kamel said he is excited about
the future of East Texas and the
future of education.
"As the father of three small
children, a student working to-
ward my math degree at UT Tyler
and a legislator, I look toward the
future of education in the Smith
County and East Texas area," said
Kamel. "There is the possibility of
utilizing the UT Health Center for
graduate courses. Expect me to
pay a lot of attention to all sources
of higher education in the dis-
trict."
Kamel said all students should
have access to affordable higher
education and those resources,
especially students from lower-
and middle-income families.
"I hope this inspires students to
finish high school and realize there
are lots of opportunities right here
in East Texas," Kamel said.
Kamel also said he will not

economy is heating up," State
Comptroller John Sharp said. "The

increase of 3.6 percent compared
to a year ago."
The Texas economy continues
to expand more rapidly than the
national economy. The U.S. Lead-

month.

BY MARSHA MILLIKIN

civic leader and a good friend of
the city was laid to rest last Thurs-
day, June 16.
"He will be sorely missed by
the community," said Lindale
Mayor Bobby McClenny.
McClenny's sentiments were ech-
oed many times during the past
week.
"He was everything Mr. Lindale

"He was an active participant in
the community and in his church.
He was a good neighbor and sup-
ported all the good things this city
represents."
McClenny also said he and
Judge Baldwin often spoke about
city and community matters and
