Local page Pare 4 Section A from the Lubbock newspaper dated Saturday morning June 4 1977. Contains brief items, notices, and column notes from the paper’s desk and desk staff across sections.
The Avalanche Journal calls on Gov. Dolph Briscoe to veto HB 136, a bill forcing all Texas schools to offer federally funded free breakfasts. It argues the measure usurps local authority, elevates federal oversight, and could misallocate resources while teaching dependency. Lubbock officials resisted the program despite proponent pressure.
An editorial argues that HR 3744 would worsen inflation and unemployment by raising the federal minimum wage, indexing it to manufacturing pay, and eliminating the tip credit. It cites the Chamber of Commerce and the National Restaurant Association on job losses and higher costs, warning of federal overreach and diminished as a government employer of last resort.
In a look back at Molotov Cocktail Tech's Class of 1969, alumni histories mix satire and fact. Rip Calitrope, illiterate at graduation, now teaches at Porest Lawn High. Nancy Beanstrap, aka Eternal Light, tours O’Hare selling carnations and deprogramming. Malcolm Sumner, jailed 675 days, is a lawyer for U S Rust in environmental cases. Sarah Goldstream, protest incident participant, is now married with three children and a VP of her Junior League. Emmett Fiedlerman, linked to campus destruction, is Carter-era director of Higher Education, receiving a Molotov grant and an honorary degree.
Environmental and consumer groups planned a public show of support for Carter’s energy program but the event was scaled back to a discreet gesture. James Schlesinger’s office organized an energy live-in on the White House lawn with Carter expected to receive attendees.
Washington debate centers on New York strike relief and federal labor rules. Owen calls unemployment benefits for strikers unconstitutional, while critics argue the law distorts bargaining and raises prices. Environmental lobbies split over Carter energy plan, with nader and Commoner opposing nuclear emphasis while Schlesinger defends conservation driven goals.
The article argues Social Security operates as a deception with a false insurance premise and hidden taxes. It contends annual deficits rise, workers pay 11.7 percent of earnings overall, and proposed reforms extend the tax burden, demanding a halt to these deceptions.
A string of quirky notes covers lipstick origins from a German term to Egyptian usage. It mentions body language cues at hosts and guests, Indonesian dance etiquette with a scarf gesture, and stray facts on leprosy germs, New York taxed land, marriage durations, China versus Australia population, Portland roller skate rules, and toy safety for babies.
