Mrs. Bailey, you did not answer Mr. Torres’ questions. I believe that you thought that you had and you were giving him all the information which had been furnished by the UCISD administration. During the break, I heard Board members saying that one of the problems which might come up relative to a voting box in the West end of town was that other citizens of the UCISD might want individual voting boxes in other areas also. Why wasn’t this brought out in the report? Why wasn’t Mr. Torres and a few other citizens asked to help the Board study this problem?
Texas A & 1 and Pan American U n iversi ties was what was asked for. Perhaps the administration has not informed you well on this matter either. Your are required to have a written affirmative action plan which is to be adopted by the Board and open to the public, that written which was asked for.

In fact, why don’t you accompany Mr. Torres to the Central Office sometime and help him get the information he needs?

It was a most childish beheaviour by the board members. The report of the additional voting box was placed as a separate item on the agenda (as No. 3 item). Mr. Torres said he would like to complete his statements after that report was made. It was most logical that the Board hear the report along with Torres' comments since it was Torres who had initiated the request for another voting place. Mrs. Bailey refused to change the order of the agenda and instead called for the auditors’ report in between. There is no law that says an agenda must be risidlv followed, it was set up improperly to begin with, possibly intenionally, so that Mr. Torres would not be allowed additional comments.

Asi les pagaba sus críticas. Pues en la escuela en el sexto año nos enseñaron que no devolviéramos mal por mal porque era la mejor manera de ponerlos en vergüenza a los que nos hacían mal.. Con los avisos de que venia muy buena música empezaron a asegurar sus puestos, pagando el dolar por adelantado.
Tuve la buena suerte que nadie me negef. Unos de a dos o tres y hasta de a cinco dolares me prestaron de muy buena gana. Yo les prometía pagar a unos el 14 y a otros el 15.

To the few Mexican-Americans present at the school board meeting, it was a lesson in valor. As Commissioner Torres addressed the board. Dr. Arnim chewed on his cigar as he trimmed his nails. John Loehr hung his head, while Charles Griffin sat passively. Dr. Dimmitt, Dan Davis and Jake Jacobs were absent. Mrs. Bailey was the only one talking and her voice sounded as if she had rehearsed the perfect tone of harsheness. To have the meeting adjourned twice by the board rather than hear him out, and when they board members walked out, he threatended to sue them. And this man puts his life on the line for all those parents and all those children who cannot speak for themselves.
Mexican Americans owe a lot to Gilbert Torres. May God Bless him always.
Juan se fue el otro dia y, para el miércoles siguiente recibi cartas del director de “La Oruqesta Nacional Fronteriza". el Sr. Manuel Domínguez dándome a saber que estaban en la mejor voluntad para venir a tocar a Hondo, que tuviera yo confianza en ellos, pues todos eran mayores de edad y aseguraban que yo quedaría conforme con su trabajo.

Esto Lo Tenqo Que Decir esperar a hacer su comentario hasta después de este reporte. Era lo mas logico, ya que fue Torres el que pidió este lugar adicional para votar. La Sra. Bailey se rehuso a cambiar la orden de asuntos en la agenda y pidió que siguiera un reporte largo por los contadores públicos sobre el estado financiero del distrito. No existe ninguna ley que dicta que la agenda debe seguirse en orden rígida, y la orden de asuntos fue hecha muy impropiamente, posiblemente con la intención de negarle a Torres sus comentarios, sabiendo de ante mano que no se habia hecho nada sobre el lugar adicional de votar.
