Injunction affects education program
By ED GARRETT JR.
UP staff writer
A preliminary injunction has been
entered by the federal district court
in Tyler, Texas, that affects all
students wanting to enroll in teacher
education classes, Dr. Doyle Watts,
head of the Department of Cur-
riculum and Instruction, said.
The injunction requires each col-
lege and university in the state,
which has a teacher education pro-
gram, to admit students regardless
of race, into its teacher education
program who would have been
qualified to enroll but for their fail-
ing the Pre-Professional Skills Test.
Students are not to be deterred
from enrolling in teacher education
courses merely because they have
not passed the PPST. However,
students must meet all other admis-
sions criteria.
The preliminary injunction does
not invalidate the PPST. Should the
permanent injunction sought by the
plantiff-intervenors concerning the
use of the PPST be successful, it will
be necessary that students pass such
test before being certified as
teachers in Texas.
The preliminary injunction mere-
ly allows students to take courses
and perform student teaching; it
does not permit teachers to be cer-
tified to teach in the schools of
Texas, without passing the PPST.
This information was issued by
W.N. Kirby, commissioner of educa-
tion of the Texas Education Agency.
Hobby delivers speech
at Institute symposium
By DAVID C. LUSK
UP staff writer
Lt. Gov. William Hobby was on
campus to elicit support of the Texas
Water Plan, which will appear on
the November ballot as Propositions
1 and 2.
Hobby held a press conference
before delivering a speech at the
water symposium held at the John
Gray Institute.
In his remarks, Hobby said the
federal government “is in retreat
from its historic responsibilities in
the water area.”
The water package contained in
Propositions 1 and 2 will place the
state in a position to “replace the
feds as the banker” in guaranteeing
bonds for water pojects.
Texas and California are the only
two states large enough to have a
need for a statewide water plan,
Hobby said. Rivers originate and
eventually pass into the sea within
the boundaries of these states, he
said.
Hobby said three water plans pro-
posed in the past failed “for good
reason.” None of the plans ade-
quately addressed the state’s needs,
he said.
This plan is a “carefully crafted
compromise” between regional and
other interests, Hobby said.
The “biggest poluters are not the
industries of the state but the cities
of the state,” Hobby said. “Water is
the limiting factor of growth in the
state.”
If adopted, the water plan will give
Texas a competitive edge in attrac-
ting new jobs and will enable the
state to use water more efficiently,
he said.

Hastings set to lecture
on UFO phenomenon
Life:
God's Splendid Gift
IRTHRIGHT «**.
835-1818
UFO researcher Robert Hastings
will lecture Thursday on the
“massive government cover-up” of
UFO’s, said Setzer Student Center
Forum Committee chair Seth Smith.
Hastings will present “UFO’s:
The Hidden History,” a 90 minute
lecture and slide show, at 8 p.m. in
the SSC Ballroom.
The lecture is based, according to
a press release provided by
Hastings, on previously classified
CIA, FBI, and Air Force documents
made available by the Freedom of
Information Act.
The documents indicate “beyond a
reasonable doubt,” according to the
release, “that UFO’s exist, and are
of the greatest concern to the highest
levels of the U.S. Air Force and the
intelligence community.”
A number of the documents refer
to UFO’s repeatedly violating highly
sensitive airspace over nuclear
weapons laboratories and ICBM
sites, according to the release.
Other documents concern attemp-
ted aerial intercepts of UFO’s by
military jet aircraft. So far as is
known, reads the release, all of these
attempts have been unsuccessful.
“Five UFO’s were tracked on
military radar,” he said, “and for a
half-hour period they hovered over
nearby ICBM silos, violating sen-
sitive air space. Then they flew off at
an estimated speed of 5,000 mph, far
beyond the capability of any conven-
tional aircraft.”
Since that time, reads the release,
he has devoted much of his energy to
researching UFO’s and trying to cut
through the shroud of secrecy that
surrounds government research into
the UFO phenomenon.
Hastings said he believes the
government should be forced to open
its files on UFO’s. “I guess you could
say I’m a political activist. The in-
telligence community is the chief
repository of information on UFO’s,
and I am taking a politicized ap-
proach to getting that information
out in the open.”
“There’s an abundance of hard
evidence at this time of an ongoing
cover-up,” Hastings said. “I believe
the government’s policies are very
shortsighted to keep the public total-
ly in the dark regarding seemingly
vital information that affects not on-
ly Americans, but the entire human
race.”
Noted in the release is an FBI
memorandum dated March 22,1950,
directed to J. Edgar Hoover, which
reports the apparent secret
recovery by the Air Force of three
UFO’s which crashed in New Mexico
near “a very high-powered radar
set-up.”
The memo states that aboard the
craft were “bodies of human shape
but only three feet tall,” and goes on
to say that Air Force investigators
believe “the radar interferes with
the controlling mechanism of the
saucers.”
In the release, Hastings says his
interest in UFO’s began in 1967,
when he was present at an air traffic
control tower on Malmstrom Air
Force Base, near Great Falls, Mont.
