Page A2-The Chronicle, Thursda Black judge decision by a special five-judge panel of the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to pursue the charges against him. Hastings, the first sitting U.S. judge tried on criminal charges, was acquitted in 1983 on federal charges of conspiring with his friend, Washington laywer William Borders Jr., to solicit a $150,000 bribe from two convicted racketeers seeking to shorten their sentences. In a separate trial, Borders was convicted and sentenced to five years. n.?? - - roiiowing Hastings' trial, a judicial complaint was filed by a federal judge in Tampa and one - in- Brunswick, Ga., alleging that Hastings committed the crime and engaged in other improper conduct. An Atlfe. 4 report from the 11th Circuit panel recommended that the Judicial Council determine that Hastings fabricated his defense, which was that Borders acted without his knowledge in soliciting the bpbe. The council will make its Task force C. Douglas Carter, assistant superintendent of support services for the school system, said that the committee members represent all segments of the community. "That's the only way you can tackle the problem,** he said. Carter said he expects wonderful things to happen as a result of the task force. The task force's work will be supported by a $15,000 anonymous grant, Eargle said. The task force's first meeting will be held on Sept. 9. Dr. Barbara K. Phillips, assistant to the superintendent, said that the meeting will be an organizational orientation meeting. "We will set the parameters of the task force and look at job responsibilities," she said. Setting parameters involves looking at what is to be explored, Dr. Phillips said. Suggested activities for the task force include defining or establishing a frame of reference to determine the underachieves reviewing research data on student performance, and identifying strategies that will help lessen the problem. Different criteria can be used to determine whether or not a . student is an under achiever, Dr. Phillips said. "If a person's ability level predicts he should be performing at a certain grade level, and he is not performing at that level, you might say he is an under achiever," she said. "You have to look at it from a holistic point of view. A person might be doing well in other areas. We're basically saying that there are a lot of students out there who ??could be better." The task force is expected to make a report recommending plans of action to the superintendent by the end of this school year. Mrs. Allen said that she is looking forward to working on the task force. "I hope that we can find why students don't achieve and come up with some solutions," she said. She said that the NAACP has long been concerned about the problem of underachieving students, particularly black students. The NAACP's Education Committee will operate a Community Tutorial Education Program in local churches this war The program will offer tutoring services to students after school.

Judicial Conference, which in turn reports to the U.S. House of Representatives, which can impeach federal judges. Hastings' lawsuit challenges the 1980 Judicial Conduct and Disability Act, saying, Hastings explained, "that judges shouldn't be judging judges." He said that having judges accusing each other of wrongdoing would ultimately harm the judicial system. But the 50-year-old judge, a 1979 Jimmy Carter appointee, said that if his attorneys can't get the judicial probe thrown out, he welcomes impeachment hearings. "I finnly believe that some of the brightest Americans that we have serve in Congress, and I believe it is there that I may get my very first fair airing of the circumstances pertaining to this matter. In that sense, I welcome the opportunity," he said. Although at the time he called the federal sting operation and prosecution of him racist, he said he couldn't speculate about the f From Page A1 teacher, Glenn High School; John Jessup, principal, Mount Tabor High School; Mary Parker, social worker, administrative center; Gay Pitts, teacher, Jefferson Elementary School; Dr. N.L.

Hastings lost, several bids for public office in the 1960s, including a U.S. Senate race. "I am not a typical federal judge when I am not on the bench," Hastings agreed. "But when I am presiding, as it pertains to upholding the law, then I do that as well or better than most judges. "The fact that my butt is being nipped at is not in any way causing me to act or react when I go into the courtroom.
