Regional labels define Texas natives more precisely than state lines
Denton, Texas. A North Texas State University study of 3,860 students across 30 colleges shows Texans identify with 28 perceptual regions, from the Panhandle and Permian Basin to the Golden Spread and Tepoma ideas. Areas like the Rio Grande Valley, Big Thicket, and God’s Country reflect history, geography, and booster culture. The report, to be published in Geographical Review, notes self images favor big and golden terms, with some names contradicting land features.

Major decision due Seizure of coal mines possible for weekend
President Carter weighs seizure legislation to end the 78 day coal strike. If authorized by Congress, it would be the eighth seizure in the industry. Officials say workers have usually returned to their jobs under past seizures, but miners might resist back to work under Taft Hartley Act provisions. The plan could move this weekend with committee hearings and floor action.
