Almost any business can survive if
Prudent common sense rules are fol
lowed and if an awareness of the
common marketplace is observed,
said John Sackett of the Texas A&M
College of Business Developmental
Council.
The former president of San An
tonio’s Alamo Iron Works spoke to
aspiring business persons Thursday
night on how to manage companies
successfully by avpiding the failures
ofbusiness.
Sackett works now as a manage
ment consultant.
"The fact is that there are an aw
ful lot of companies out there that
are really poorly managed,” Sackett
said.

Texas A&M President Frank

Sophomore transfer student
Bruce Goodrich, of Webster,
N.Y., died of heat stroke in Au

Bed and forced to run and do
“motivational exercises.”
Four upperclassmen were

a San Antonio company last fall.
Sackett was hired as a consultant to
rescue the company from a debt of
$700,000 net worth.
“I’m most amazed to find out that
most companies keep very poor
books,” he said.
Although some companies choose
not to keep audit records, Sackett
said audits reveal the bottom line of
a company’s financial standing.
“When you are looking at a com
pany, nothing is clear cut,“ he said.
"You really have to be careful.”
Every good business person
should maintain skills that allow
them to foresee problems and deal
with them effectively, Sackett said.
“The First thing is to have the wis
dom to recognize problems,” he
John Sackett
said. "Then, you have to draw a line
and say,‘at this point, we’re going to
have to take some drastic steps.’
i
“If you have a special skill, strong
desire or are very determined, you
should have no problem in the busi
ness world. Single-mindedness is a
necessity.”
The success of a business some
times depends on taking chances
and it is imperative to analyze and
evaluate every risk before it is en
countered, Sackett said.
“For me personally, I am very
conservative,” he said. “I try to take
as little risks as possible.”
New school chief
wants aid for poor
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas most likely will
have to provide additional money to
help support poor school districts in
the next few years, the head of the
State Board of Education said
Wednesday.
Jon Brumley of Fort Worth made
the comment as he and six col
leagues, including one from College
Station, were considered and ap
proved by the Senate Nominations
Committee to serve on the board.
From College Station was John
Mack Prescott. The other members
were Mary Helen Berlanga, Corpus
Christi; Charles W. Duncan, Hous
ton; William McBride, San Antonio;
Pete Morales Jr., Devine; and Kath
erine Raines, Cleburne.
The eight other members of the
board appointed by Gov. Mark
White appeared before the commit
tee Thursday.
AH 15 members will be offered to
the full Senate Monday for Final ap
proval.
At the committee hearing
Wednesday, Brumley was asked if
poorer school districts would need
additional money to supplement the
funds allotted by the recent special
session in an effort to equalize edu
cation opportunities between
wealthy and poor districts.
A law suit was Filed Tuesday in a
Travis County district court alleging
the school reform bill passed by the
special session did not produce equ-
ity-
“The poorer school districts were
helped by House Bill 72,” Brumley
told the committee, “but in two or
three yeztrs I see the possibility that
wealthier districts will raise local
taxes to improve their schools and
we will have the inequity again.
“However, that is one of the prob
lems we are working on,” Brumley
said.
Evidence given
without jury
in Port case
Associated Press
NEW BRAUNFELS — Blood was
discovered in the car trunk of mur
der defendant David Port after po
lice seized the car in their investiga
tion of tHe killing of a mail carrier, a
Houston police investigator said in
pretrial testimony Thursday.
Investigator Ted Thomas said he
inspected the sedan at the Houston
police department last June after
smelling “a strong odor that came
from the trunk. Immediately upon
opening it, I saw blood in the trunk.”
Testimony was given without the
jury being present.
Police say Port told them he wrap
ped the body of Debora Sue Schatz,
23, in trash bags and stuffed it in the
trunk of his car last June 7.
Police said that Port, 18, told them
he killed the woman and dumped
the body in a bayou. However, au
thorities found the body in an open
Field several miles from the spot he
designated.
Thomas gave the testimony on a
defense motion to suppress all oral
and written statements Port had
given police shortly after he was ar
rested June 8.
Trial testimony has not begun in
the trial, which began Feb. 25 with
jury selection. A nine-man, three-
woman jury was seated Tuesday and
has been sequestered since Wednes
day.
All witnesses called Wednesday
and early Thursday have testiFied
without tne jury present.
The case drew national attention
when Port’s father, Bernard Port,
and stepmother, Odette Port, re
fused to testify against him before a
grandjury.
The two were jailed on contempt
of court charges, while Port re
mained free on $20,000 bond. The
parents since have been released,
but have not appeared in the court
room during the trial. Neither has
been subpoenaed to testify.
The trial was moved to New
Braunfels after extensive publicity in
Houston, 175 miles southeast.
Prosecutors on Thursday also
called police ofFicers David Collier
and Irma Sauseda, who identified a
.22-caliber pistol authorities say was
used to kill Schatz.
