graduates
seniors tonight
The senior class of Denton High School, clad mostly in blue
jeans, shorts and T-shirts instead of caps and gowns, had
already completed a run-through of tonight's commencement
ceremony.
Seated in precisely spaced rows of chairs on the floor of the
North Texas State University Coliseum, the students were
listening to a last-minute list of do's and don’ts: Do be on time,
don’t crowd together in line, don't get too far apart in line, do
stay in line, don’t chew gum and DON’T bring any snuff.
And then came the eternal question no commencement
exercise is complete without — which side of your cap does the
tassle go on prior to graduation?
“Does ANYONE here know which side the tassle goes on?"
teacher John Favors asked The response was total silence.
“Is there an ethical, absolute side of the cap the tassle goes
on before graduation?” he questioned. More silence
“Well, for our purposes, it goes on the right before
graduation, and you're to flip it to the left behind the stage
after you’ve actually received your diploma,” he said. "This is
an age-old question, but if we all do it the same, it won’t
matter.”
So last night the jeans and shorts and T-shirts were replaced
by purple caps and gowns and the tassles were on the right side
of the caps as the more than 500 graduating seniors par-
ticipated in an 8 p.m baccalaureate service The service,
featuring a message by Bob Hagemann. minister to youth at
Hillcrest Baptist Church, was held in the Texas Woman’s
University Main Auditorium
Commencement itself will take place at 8 tonight in the
Coliseum, with Superintendent of Denton public schools Dr
Robert T. McGee conferring the degrees
And when the graduates walk from behind the stage, degrees
and futures in hand, more than just their tassles will have been
changed
Terrorists:
4 most-wanted suspects arrested
BONN. West Germany (AP) -Four of
West Germany's most-wanted terrorist
suspects have been captured in Yugo-
slavia, the Bonn government said
today.
A Justice Ministry spokesman told a
news conference the four were among
20 alleged hard-core terrorists sought in
a string of slayings last year, including
the kidnap-killing of industrialist
Hanns-Martin Schleyer.
Those captured were identified as
Brigitte Monhaupt, 28, Rolf Clemens
Wagner, 33; Peter Boock, 26; and
Sieglinde Gutrun Hofmann, 33.
Details of the capture were not im-
mediately available.
German police had offered a reward
of $25,000 each for the capture of the
suspects in the slayings of Schleyer.
Chief Prosecutor Siegfried Buback and
banker Juergen Ponto
Schleyer was kidnapped in Cologne

Farmers push new bill
Plan would provide 100% parity by 1982
By JANET FULLWOOD
Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, DC. — American
Agriculture Movement organizers are
gathering signatures in Washington for
a new bill which would provide farmers
with 100 percent parity for their
commodities by 1982.
Slidell farmer H.R Pruett. to
Washington to help drum up support for
the measure sponsored by Rep
Richard Nolan, D-Minn., said the bill is
geared to reach the full parity goal in
annual steps of 5 percent, starting in
1978 at 85 percent
He said House Majority Leader Jim
Wright endorsed the bill, a "big plus"
that should help pull support for a
workable program.
The Economic Recovery Act of 1978
provides for the establishment of a
board to set and administer agriculture
and marketing programs. Pruett said.
The regulatory board would be
composed of one “grassroots
producer" from each state, plus
“business people- and consumer
people,” the Slidell farm lobbyist said.
The proposed program also includes a
restructured agriculture reserve
provision which would insure reserve
commodities are not sold for less than
100. percent parity, Pruett said.

they can hold a referendum through the
ASCS (Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service) and stay out,"
Pruett said farm lobbyists in
Washington areworking now to “get all
the representatives we can to co sign
the hill before we even introduce it."
“We waast enough signatures to
where we know it ends up on the
president’s desk ... We’re not going to
move real fast, we feel like time is real

that he met with Wright Wednesday to
discuss the nation's farm economy.
“But his signature makes us feel pretty
good about it now.”
Pruett, who said he "took a pretty
good lick” at the house majority leader
in a Fort Worth newspaper after the
first bill was defeated, said he now
wants to make a public apology to the
congressman
“He told me he voted against it
because he knew it wasn’t going to
become law,” Pruett said. “We had a
good meeting, and we've got things
understood between us now."
Pruett said American Agriculture
Movement volunteers are also lobbying
to “try to educate the legislature on
parity and what it means to farmers
and to the economy.
“We feel they’ve been getting either -
false or foolish information from the
USDA,” he said.
Pruett has made half a dozen trips to
Washington since farmers began to
strike nationwide against low returns
late last year.
The proposed Economic Recovery
Act, be said, "is one that’s good for the
farmers, and what's good for the far-
mers is good for the whole United
States."
