They were 12 liberal-to-moderate Democrats from the Texas State Legislature attempting to block the passage of a primary bill backed by Lieutenant Governor William Hobbv. The bill would have set an early presidential primary on March 11, 1980 in Texas, thus assuring former Texas Governor John Connally an early boost in the Republican presidential nomination race. The Bees were not as opposed to the early primary as they were to a second and separate general election to be held at the regular election date in May. This would set up two elections in Texas. Thus the bill would have allowed Conservative Democrats to vote first for Connally under that state's crossover law on March 11 and then against Liberal Democrats in May. Hobby, a conservative Democrat, wanted exactly that. In fact, it was Hobby who pinned the name "Killer Bees" on the 12 earlier in the year because they constantly opposed his legislation. Hobby, realizing that the election bill may fail decided to introduce an additional election funding bill that could be amended to include two primaries. At this point the Killer Bees made their move. Instead of opposing, lobbying, and voting against the two bills, the Bees, ten of them [two left the state], simply went into hiding In a 12-foot by 20-foot room with two beds, one shower, one toilet and one sink. The 31 seat Texas senate, which requires 21 members present for a quorum, simply could not meet. Over SO lawmen searched from one end of the state to the other for the Killer Bees while the Bees played cards, watched soap operas on television and consumed over $350 worth of liquor and food. Finally, after five days of unsuccessfully searching, Hobby agreed to stop his efforts for an early primary, the measure was defeated and the Bees returned, greeted by applause and cheers from spectators in the senate chambers. Where was their hideout? Just three miles from the state capitol building. A unique way to oppose a piece of legislation perhaps, but then again, sometimes the best form of government [in Texas anyway] may well be—no government at all. Guest editorials Iran a joke Revolutions in the world are not always what they are drummed up to be. Take Iran for instance. Here was a ii it sv^tf.,'iCoroliniQn revolution which was to bring about the dawn of a new age for the Iranian people. No longer were the people to be subjected to the arbitrary justice of the SAVAK or Iranian military. What a cruel, misfortunate joke the Ayatollah Khomeini pulled on the people of that country. The so-called revolutionary trials, endorsed by the Ayatollah, have proved to be nothing but a farce. There are no appeals, executions are immediate, the judges are prejudiced and evidence is questionable, at the least. How lucky we are to have established judicial procedures, no matter how cumbersome. WILKINS Nuclear energy is the solution Califomians aren't the only ones whose tempers are growing shorter as the gas lines grow longer as even North Carolinians [yes, Cullowhee too] are feeling the teething pains of less gas at ever skyrocketing prices. The answers to the problem seem to be as numerous as there are congressmen in the White House, but the most obvious solution to the energy crisis still appears to be nuclear energy. Dissidents to nuclear energy say that the risks involved in nuclear energy are too high and such forms of energy as solar, wind, coal, shale and gasoline by-products are the answsers to our nation's energy needs. The main problem with this argument is that solar and wind [particularly wind] are several years in the future before they can become practical forms of energy. Nuclear energy has already been proven to be a relatively economical form of power and the technology has already been refined enough to allow nuclear energy to become a practical part of American life. While coal, shale and gasoline by-products [eg. gasahol] are already technologically feasible, the costs involved in refining shale and coal are astronomical in comparison with nuclear power and their resources are finite while nuclear energy, If fusion becomes a reality, Is infinite. Through Increasing nuclear power plants throughout the U.S., the crunch that consumers are currently feeling at the gas pumps will be lessened because there will be less of a strain upon the natural gas supplies to heat homes, run factories, etc... Undoubtedly, the nuclear power situation is contro- Turn to Page 3, Please.
