They're Not Welcome
NEW CANEY, Texas (AP) - A
gang of motorcycle riders that calls
itself the Bandidos will have to find
"somewhere else to party" outside of
Montgomery County, new Sheriff Joe
Corley has told them.
Corley said he and officers from
several other agencies had to arrest
about 32 Bandidos early Sunday on of-
fenses ranging from driving while in-
toxicated to carrying prohibited
weapons, as well as various drug
charges.
They were among about 200 Ban-
didos who camped out over the
weekend on the grounds of a private
club as they have done the past three
years while in the area to attend
motorcycle races in the Astrodome.
Corley and about 50 deputies and of-
ficers from the Texas Department of
Public Safety, Harris County
Organized Crime Task Force, the
federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms, and the Texas
Rangers patroled the camp area over
the weekend.
The sheriff, who took office in
January, said there were no major
problems but that he told the presi-
dent of the Bandidos the group would
not be welcome next year.
"I told him to find somewhere else
to party," Corley said. "We don't
want them.”

day at a news conference called to an-
nounce a meeting this weekend in
Austin with student representatives
from at least four state schools who
are protesting the tuition hike.
Texas currently charges $4 a
semester credit hour for tuition. The
Texas College Coordinating Board
has recommended that the state
legislature increase the tuition to $8
an hour.
Texas ranks 46th in the nation in tui-
tion costs for resident students and
25th for non-resident students.
Williams says a poll of 500 students
on the Tech campus was taken about
the tuition hike, and that 17 percent of
them replied they would be forced to
leave school if tuition fees were rais-
ed.
Texas Tech board member Mar-
shall Formby of Plainview, a vocal
supporter of low fees, has said the on-
ly way to provide education for all is
to keep the cost affordable to all in-
comelevels.

What's happened is that
we’ve become careless

machine.

workers to do a job which two

Also, time lost to strikes by

Now when Mr. O'Neil men-

both the American manufac-
turers who have neglected to
anticipate trends, and ir-

overtax, over-regulate and
suffocate.
We're not doing nothing
about effecting a comeback.
General Motors, anticipating
contract time, is seeking con-
cessions from the Auto
Workers Union.
It will be difficult for some
workers to accept this rever-
sal of the longtime procedure,
but we have Chrysler as a
frightening example of what
can happen if we don't.
Throttling imports from
Japan is an unworthy
stopgap.
With a new American spirit

government, labor and
management can match

AUSTIN, Texas (API - The Senate
has tentatively approved a bill con-
taining what Sen. Roy Blake calls a
•'return to work provision." The bill
would make it harder for a person
who quits a job to draw unemploy-
ment benefits.
Blake's bill was approved, 20-9,
Monday, but another vote is needed to
send the measure to the House.
The Nacogdoches Democrat failed
the first time he tried to bring the bill
up, Jan. 28, because he could not
muster enough votes. Gov. Bill
Clements then submitted the bill as
an emergency, which required fewer
votes for debate.
"The governor did some research
and found people drawing unemploy-
ment because they were tired of
working or some other frivolous ex-
cuse," said Blake.
His bill would disqualify persons
who voluntarily quit their jobs or who
are fired for misconduct from receiv-
ing jobless benefits until they have
had another job for at least six weeks
at a wage equal to weekly benefits.
A fiscal summary showed that en-
forcing the bill, if it became law.
would require 152 new employees at
the Texas Employment Commission,
costing $3 million a year. Employers
would pay for it.
"This is not going to restrict
anybody’s benefits who is
unemployed through no fault of his
own," said Blake.
"In Castro County, TRLA
forced redistricting and gain-
ed gerrymandered precinct
lines to give minority group
citizens greater conntrol over

"In Deaf Smith County,

sheriff’s office, the Texas
Highway Patrol and the coun-
ty on behalf of illegal aliens.
The list of suits is endless..."

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - A stu-
dent leader at Texas Tech says a plan
to double tuition fees at state colleges
and universities will place yet
another burden on students already
plagued by spiraling education costs.
"The cost of education has risen
tremendously, and students cannot be
expected to bear another over-
burdening increase in the cost of their
education," said Jeff Williams, vice
president of etWfnal' affairs in the
Texas Tech Studaits''Association.
Williams maW'his remarks Mon-
"We are representing peo-
ple who are entitled to

hours a week and receive no

"We represent U.S.
Citizens arrested and even
jailed on the false charge of
being undocumented aliens,”
Beardall said.
Beardall also said TRLA
received the blame for
several suits filed by private
attorneys and actions by
federal agencies. He cited a
case to reapportion Deaf
Smith County and one involv-
ing a grower subject to pro-
ceedings from the national
laibor Department which
started before the Hereford
TRLA office opened.
Beardall said he has no
idea who, if anyone, is handl-
ing the parathion case, and he
supported the Castro County
redistricting decision as a
way to guarantee equal
representation to members of
an overpopulated precinct

Shortly after singing the song on the

White admits he stopped at the site

"I returned the scraps immediately

Japan picked itself up from
the ashes of World War II
and, imitating us, ac-
complished an historic com-
eback.
Japan caught up with and
passed us.
Now it’s our turn to imitate
them.
Just 15 years ago, Japan’s
production of automobiles
was 10 percent of ours. By the
second half of 1979 Japan was
producing more cars than we.
By the first half of 1980,
Japan had become the No. 1
car maker in the world!
conductors; even pianos.
President M. G. O'Neil of
General Tire says "this new
Japanese invasion must be
confronted with comparable
effort, imagination, innova-
tion and investment."
What he means by "invest-
ment" is that, while we have
beer, investing in new plants
and equipment at a rate of '
less than 4 percent of our
GNP, Japan is investing 20
percent.
By “effort" he means that
Japanese workers are simply
outproducing American
workers. They excel at effi-
ciency.
Compare an American
engine plant with a Toyota
plant, each producing 1,800
engines per day,-and you will
discover that the Japanese
plant accomplishes that pro-
duction in a third less space
with one-fifth the number of
employees.
Does this suggest that

"This may be where the

Coleman said his informa-

Coleman said, "One of the
biggest problems is that
although the wording of the
charge to the LSC organiza-
tion calls for local control, it's
been so loosely interpreted
that in effect it doesn't exist.

ists on a state level. lecal
government has no input
whatsoever," he said.
Coleman said another
reason for passage of the
resolution is to prevent fur-
ther economic damage to the
community.
"The economy of our area
is suffering now. We need in-
dustry, jobs...A very sizeable
industry that was interested
in locating here was conferr-
ing with local leaders as to
whether or not they should
locate in Deaf Smith County.
"That day, a marcfi was
staged around the courthouse
by TRLA and farm workers,
the industry chose to go to
another state instead because
they feared labor problems

funds," Coleman said.
Coleman is sending letters,

Modest cuts in portions of the
