EXCUSED ABSENCES (PER-
SONAL) ~~~ ----
Thank you for your concern.
Sincerely,
Gibson D. “Gib” Lewis,
Speaker, Texas Legislature
The tutorial services will be
available beginning with the
2nd week of school, and will
become mandatory for stu-
dents who are failing at the
end of the third week of
school (after progress reports
are sent out).

Norman Cousins nrobablv would be dead now, certainly crip-
pled, had he not 'laughed himself well. "
He, his books and his lectures, have since expanded public
awareness of the interrelationship of mental stress and physical
distress.
We can indeed worry ourselves sick. We can indeed heal our-
selves with hope.
Building on past research, husband and wife doctors in Phoenix,
Arizona, Donna Lou and Harold Udelman, have demonstrated
that rheumatoid arthritis, in some patients, is better of worse
depending upon how hopeful or depressed the patient mav be.
The T-cell is a critical component of the human body’s im-
mune system. The Doctors Udelman have controlled T-cell pro-
duction by controlling a patient's fears.
The following was fiction when it was first written by O. Henry:
A young woman, dying of pneumonia, retreated to her bed,
looked out the window, announced that she would die when die
last leaf fell from the ivy vine on yonder tree.
One by one the leaves began to fall and the woman became
resigned to her impending death.
But the last leaf clung to the vine, refused to drop.
The woman recovers.
To discover the last leaf had been painted on the tree by a
friend.
Greenville Tennessee:
Little Leslie Robinette was born with a genetic disorder.
It stunted her growth.
Until she, her family and her doctors gambled on an experi-
mental transplant of bone marrow.
Doctors acknowledged that she had only a slim chance to sur-
vive.
A little girl would have to have enough will to live, enough
stubborn determination to fight for her own life.
She got that.....
When entertainer Michael Jackson visited her bedside.
Her improvement and recovery began with that visit.
A publicity stunt in connection with Michael Jackson's present
concert tour?
No.
Leslie Robinetter is 17.
The entertainer's inspiring visit to her bedside was when she
was notyet 7 ... 11 years ago.

A new state law (House Bill 72)
has recently ruled that a stu-
dent may not be given credit
for a class if the student has
more than 5 days of unexcused
absence during a semester.
In compliance with this law
the Dell City I. S. D. has clas-
sified absences into three cate-
gories: (excused (illness, etc.),
excused (personal) and unex-
cused. ) Being absent or tardy
from any class period obligates
the student to obtain an appro-
priate admission slip from the
principal's office.
EXCUSED ABSENCES (ILL-
NESS, ETC/)
If a student has been absent
due to personal sickness, death,
or illness in the family, quar-
antine, weather or road condi-
tions making travel dangerous,
or any other unusual cause
acceptable to the principal,
an excused absence slip will
be issued. The reason for
the absence must, however,
rangements have been made
through the office prior to the
absence, no penalty will or-
The tutoring sessions will be
conducted by certified tea-
chers on a voluntary basis
with compensation. Classes
will be conducted in a man-
ner similar to regular class-
es except that the teacher
will provide tutorial assis-
tance only.

STATE LEADER SEEKS PUBLICS ATTENTION TO
WATER PROBLEM...
Dear Fellow Texans:
Over the years, our state and its citizens have pro-
spered through an abundance of natural resources.
However, in recent years, population and in-
dustrial growth have been accompanied by increas-
ed demand on these resources and have resulted in
their depletion.
Most noticeable and publicized has been our sup-
ply of oil and natural gas. Somewhat overlooked,
however, has been our most precious of these re-
sources—water.
Today this depletion has struck home as a result of
drought compounded with increased demand. It has
become most apparent in many of our major cities
where rationing has become a fact of everyday life.
Andsorry to report, the situation is not getting
any better. In fact, it won’t go away andisiikely to
grow worse.
Statistical information accumulated through the
Texas Department of Water Resources—the state
agency responsible Jor the conservation and
development of our water resources—indicated that
groundwater (aquifers) is being depleted faster than
it can be naturally recharged. Existing surface
(reservoirs) water is not adequate for future growth.
In fact, much of Texas’ existing surface water reser-
voirs will barely be sufficient to meet water demands
during critical droughts, a fact reflected in our cur-
rent water rationing programs in many of our cities
and shortages in our troubled agricultural areas.
As industrialization and population continue to in-
crease, our water requirements and water protec-
tion needs will continue to multiply.
That is why I implore you, my fellow citizens, to
become more aware of the severity and magnitude
of this problem. It will take your efforts and the ef-
forts of your Legislature combined to find a solution
to the problem of our water conservation and
development needs that will benefit all Texans.
In the months between now and the next session of
the Legislature in January, this office and other
lawmakers will be working to devise water develop-
ment and conservation plans for legislative con-
sideration. '
My staff is currently working with me in for-
mulating a conceptual plan for water development
and conservation. If you would like additional infor-
mation on our efforts, please contact Ms. Mary
Rinaldi, Research Department, Office of the
Speaker, P. 0. Box 2910, Austin, Texas 78769.
Your help is needed and I encourage your active
participation in the process by contacting your
elected representatives and transmitting your con-
cerns and suggestions for addressing this critical
issue.
You and future generations of Texans will be the
major beneficiaries.
