HOUSTON (AP) - AS-
year-old boy expelled from
kindergarten because of long
hair used to cover a birth
defect will be able to stay in
school with his present
haircut until the end of the
scholastic year, a federal
judge ruled today
U.S. District Court Judge
Woodrow Seals acted after
attorneys for Billy Epperson
and the school district
agreed to extend Judge
Seals' temporary order
which readmitted Billy to the
school district
Young Epperson wears his
hair cut full and slightly over
his ears to cover the birth de-
fect
The district requires male
pupils to cut their hair so it
does not cover the ears or
touch the collar. They also
have rules about the dress of
female pupils, forbidding
pants suits and regulating
the length of skirts
The Eppersons maintain if
their son cuts his hair in
compliance with the district
hair code his fellow pupils
would notice the birth defect
and ridicule him.

Judge Seals ruled last
Wednesday the district must
readmit Billy pending
outcome of an April 15
hearing on the case.
Today's action eliminates
the hearing The case will be
decided in a trial sometime
this summer
Billy's parents, Mr and
Mrs William Epperson of
suburban Pasadena, filed
the suit after the city's
school system said the child
was violating their dress
code and could not attend
class.

Injury leaves
fight in doubt
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)
— Heavyweight champion
George Foreman was taken to a
hospital today for treatment of
what he said was a pinched
nerve, leaving his scheduled
title defense against Ken Norton
tonight in doubt.
After returning from the hos-
pital where X rays were taken
during a half-hour examination,
Foreman said he had a pinched
nerve in his right knee but said,
"I’m okay. I’m all right.”
However, his personal physi-
cian, Dr Peter Hacker, in-
dicated the champion had
sprained the knee. Such an in-
jury would almost certainly
cause the fight to be called off.
Some observers felt the re-
ported injury might be a form of
pressure being put on the
Venezuelan boxing commission.
The fight was scheduled to
start at 10:30 p.m. EDT and to
be televised in about 70 coun-
tries.
