Odessa City Council and ECISD agree to one tax bill for residents by ECISD collecting city taxes. The change saves ECISD about 50,000 and the city 100,000 to 125,000 annually.

Chicago columnist Mike Royko recalls CBS building security and recalls Cubs manager Lee Elia shoving a Channel 2 cameraman after telling him to leave. The incident left a minor jaw injury and sparked discussion on firing. The piece contrasts lobby protocols with the newsroom mood and public reaction.
Chicago columnist Royko argues a cameraman's shove at Elia was acceptable reaction to intrusive TV coverage. He condemns pursuit of 20 second clips into offices showers and restrooms and defends a line drawn to protect privacy. Royko notes his own tensions with TV reporters at funerals and praises privacy in mourning.
James J. Kilpatrick notes two great dangers looming for the world. Nuclear war is debated in Congress while population growth accelerates in poorer nations. Intercom projections show world population rising from 4.6 billion toward 5 billion within five years, with 1.8 percent annual growth and Nigeria-sized increases possible in 1983.
Kilpatrick argues that conservative developed countries with 75 percent of world population grow just over 2 percent annually, while least developed nations rise to 79 percent by 2000 and 83 percent by 2020. He warns of mass starvation without safe contraception and modern agricultural aid, and notes Africa’s high birth rates and shrinking future human share.
