School discipline and energy
are two of the main planks cited
as part at his campalgn by
Mark White, candidate for
Tezas Attorney General, during
a brief visit to Brownwood this
morning
White, a 37-yearold native of
Henderson, said that "lack of
discipline found in the Tezas
schoolrooms of today la one of
the reasona for the declining
grades of students found across
the state.”
Students are not aware of
what is expected of them in the
way of discipline, teachers are
afraid of facing law suits if they

This has been the first week of spring — a
situation celebrated among columnists nation-
wide in recent days — so why should this be an
exception?
Now, when column writers celebrate spring,
it’s not in the way you’d expect. Instead of
praising the warmer temperatures and beauty of
new growth, your typical writer celebrates by
taking a vacation while working. To wit, spring
fever.
The Dallas Times-Herald’s Dick Hitt this week
celebrated by instructing a co-worker to invent a
subject for his article and wound up with an in-
volved discussion of where dust storms originate
and where they go.
The Associated Press’ Hugh Mulligan wrote
two pages on the agony and twitching which goes
on when a writer simply must meet his deadline
but, unfortunately, has nothing about which to
write.
The Brownwood Bulletin’s Gene Deason is
more fortunate. In Brownwood this springtime,
there’s plenty of things to write about.
Right off the top, we have one week and one
day left before our local school board, water
board and municipal office elections. Crucial
decisions await these officials, and the im-
portance of this voting cannot be stressed
enough. But that can be done elsewhere in these
pages.
On the other hand, this is Good Friday and the
Easter weekend. Some appropriate remarks on
the occasion would not be untimely. But you’ll be
able to get a much more inspirational message
this Sunday at your favorite church or sunrise
service.
Of course, if we really wanted to get off into
left field as far as column topics are concerned, I
have an amazing list of possibilities, not among
the least promising being a discussion of night-
time telephone solicitations, a review of off-the-
main-road vacation spots and a study of the of-
fice philosopher (promised here several weeks
back).
But after all, this is the first week of spring.
Covering any of those topics might take son^ ef-
fort, some thought, or too much time. We cargo
back to those subjects later, when the desire to
really get to work comes back to me again.
Wake me up in about six years, will you?
