Link Drugs and Crime: UTSA symposium cites penalties
SHARON WATSONS reports on a University of Texas Medical School San Antonio symposium linking drug abuse to crime rates. Jide James E. Barlow argues drugs drive daylight burglaries and calls for medical and psychological intervention over enforcement. He condemns current harsh penalties and criticizes regulators for not easing drug possession laws. Dr Jane Payte notes epidemic drug abuse and midtown junkie emergence, while Dr Arthur H. Brings warns education programs have little effect and may worsen abuse.

Equal Funds Case Hears Edgewood Plea in Texas
A three judge federal panel heard Edgewood School District residents seek to equalize public school funding across Texas. Attorney Arthur Godman argued education quality must follow individual needs, not wealth, citing disparities such as Edgewood's 34 dollars per student versus Alamo Heights at 400 dollars. The state contested full equalization, warning it could disrupt financial plans and trigger chaos across about 1,200 districts, while noting federal funds do not fully rectify disparities.
