MICHIGAN CITY — Two
knife-wielding inmates surrendered
Wednesday night after holding an
Indiana State Prison doctor and two
other employes hostage more than
five hours in the prison hospital, au
thorities said.
State Correction Commissioner
Robert P. Heyne said the hostages
were unharmed.
“We have the weapons, the two
men have been taken into custody
and it would appear at this point
everything is secure,” Heyne said.
William J. Watt, a spokesman for
Gov. Otis R. Bowen, identified the
inmates as David Erikson, 33, and
James Kelley, 28.
Heyne said the surrender came
after Warden Leo Jenkins
negotiated a list of demands from
Erikson and Kelley. The demands,
relayed by another prisoner sent
into the hospital at the inmates’ re
quest, included more lenient visit
ing regulations, recreation area im
provements, changes in the pris
oner disciplinary board and up
graded educational programs.
The prisoner who acted as a mes
senger for Erikson and Kelley said
the two also demanded a guarantee
of nd reprisal for Wednesday’s inci
dent, but Heyne said authorities re
fused that demand. He said a
weapon shakedown began im
mediately throughout the prison
after the inmates surrendered.
He said Erikson and Kelley appa
rently broke into the hospital’s drug
supply while they held the hostages
and were believed to have taken
some barbiturates.
Heyne said the messenger re
ported that the pair “appeared to be
under the influence of drugs, ” but
the inmates told him they were “not
high on drugs.”
Watt said the two inmates took
over the two-story hospital about
2:30 p.m., apparently after taking a
key from a security guard. Eight
prison employes were taken hos
tage, but two were released within
two hours and three others were re
leased two hours after that.
Erikson is in the second year of a
l-to-10-year sentence for possession
of dangerous drugs. Kelley is serv
ing a 21-year sentence for voluntary
manslaughter in a Fayette County,
Ky., slaying. He was transferred,,
the Indiana prison under the term
of a reciprocal agreement betwj
the two states.
Harrises’ bail set
Board member resigns
Dr. O. C. Cooper resigned from the A&M
Consolidated School Board Tuesday.
Cooper, who has served on the Board for
eight years, said he was resigning for “personal
reasons.”
“I found that I was spending more time on the
board than I actually could devote,” he said
Wednesday night, adding that he could serve
the community and board better “on the out
side.”
The long-time College Station resident
served as vice-president this year and president
last year.
Cooper said he has seen an outstanding re
cord of growth of the school system during his
terms on the board.
He said that the school’s innovative prog
rams, particularly the special reading program,
and high level of achievement by high school
students receiving scholarships reflected the ef
forts of the school board.
“The school board has a great future, Cooper
said, “but it will have to work hard.”
Cooper said he will be attending future board
meetings, but only as an observer.
Cooper’s term officially expires next year. Be
tween now and that time the board will have to
appoint an interim vice-president. Cooper said.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Bail
was set at $500,000 each for William
and Emily Harris, traveling com
rades of Patricia Hearst, at a con
fused court hearing Wednesday.
Conflicting court orders tem
porarily disrupted plans to transfer
the two Symbionese Liberation
Army members to Los Angeles later
Wednesday to face arraignment
there on 18 state felony charges.
But one of the conflicting orders
was withdrawn and officials said the
transfer would take place as
scheduled.
The Harrises, arrested in San
Francisco last week, are being held
on a variety of charges growing out
of a shooting at a Los Angeles sport
ing goods store May 16, 1974.
The charges include kidnaping,
robbery, car theft and assault with
intent to commit murder. Federal
weapons charges against the two
were dropped Tuesday, paving the
way for early prosecution of the
state case.
The $500,000 bail on the federal
charges was replaced by the
$500,000 bail on the state counts.
The Harrises’ attorney, Anne
Flower Cuming, presented Munic
ipal Court Judge Wilbur Johnson
with an order from a San Francisco
judge directing the two to appear in
San Francisco Thursday morning.
“I don't have the slightest ides
what the order is for, was Judge
Johnson’s reaction during the
five-minute court session.
Johnson did not rule on the oi der
immediately, saying he wanted to
study it.
Contacted in San Francisco,
Superior Court Judge Claude
Peraso, who issued the order,
shortly after the hearing thath e y
canceled his order, because it^
mistake.
“That order is moot. 1 Wasilt
aware of the hearing in San Mali
County,” he said.
San Mateo County Dist. Ath
Keith Sorensen said Peraso’s cancel
ing his order cleared up theconfy'
sion.
"It would appear that the action
by the San Francisco Superior
Court judge clears up any confusion
in this situation,” he said. "TheLos
Angeles authorities are free topii
up the Harrises at any time."

DALLAS — A community
college class on how to handicap
race horses has ired local Bap
tists to the point that no one is
taking bets on the course mak
ing it down the backstretch.
The course, offered at
Eastfield College, recently
drew fire from the Baptist Stan
dard newspaper that
editoralized to its 371,000 read
ers:
“The college has such a
warped sense of community
service, we expect soon to hear
other courses are being offered
on how to launch riots without
danger to rioters, the best way
to heat state troopers enforc
ing speed laws, proven ways of
embezzling without being
caught or how to drink and drive
without being arrested.
The Standard is a publication
of the Baptist General Conven
tion of Texas.
Eastfield President Dr.
Bryon McClenney says that be
cause of the public outcry
against the course, entitled
“Handicapping Horses, it is
not likely to be offered again.
The noncredit course is part
of Eastfield’s community ser
vice program. It drew enough
students earlier this fall that an
additional section was offered.
Another class is being offered
at Richland College. Both are in
the Dallas County Community
College District (DCCCD).
DCCCD President Bill
Priest said he saw no moral or
economic reasons why the
course should not be offered.
He said the $15 fee paid by
each student more than covered
the cost of offering the course
and taxpayers were not out any
money for funding.
“We are not espousing an il
legal practice,” Priest said. “If
persons want to bet, they can go
wherever a race track might be.
There is nothing insidious or in
herently evil about the course.”
fuprnamba
DCCCD Board Chairman R.
L. Thornton Jr. also said he saw
no reason why the course
should not be offered.
“I don’t see why any religious
group would have anything to
do with it,” Thornton said. “We
are not teaching horse racing
nor are we advocating gambl
ing. We are teaching how to
read a handicap form.”
Horse racing is legal in Texas
hut pari-mutuel betting is not.
Many Texas racing fans go to
Ruidoso, Santa Fe and Raton,
N.M.; New Orleans, Lafayette
and Bossier City, La., and Hot
Springs, Ark.
