A portion of the account is di verted into a separate account which covers basic costs of registra tion, vehicle decals, and other as sociated costs. The salaries of three or four of the UP patrolmen and the UP office cashier are also drawn from this smaller account. Perry said. The major portion of the Parking Facilities Account goes for mainte nance and construction of parking lots on-campus. Costs for parking lot construction has risen from $275 to over $500 per automobile parking space in the last three or four years, UP Chief Luther said. Parking maintenance The account is also used on occa sion for other types of parking Staff change maintenance. The automated park ing lot gates currently being tested by the university and some street parking space markings have been paid by those funds. One problem related to bicycle registration involves the large per centage of unregistered bicycles on-campus. Estimates on numbers of unregistered bikes have ranged as high as 50 per cent of the total number on-campus. Up to this time little UP time has been spent in trying to get all bikes and other vehicles registered. However, it has been an unofficial policy for some time that an unregis tered vehicle will be ticketed before a registered vehicle for the same of fense. “Were in the process of develop ing some plans whereby we’ll try to Sports editor fired Tony Gallucci was fired last night as Sports Editor of the Battalion. Paul McGrath, a two-year Battal ion Sports Writer specializing in football, track and aquatics coverage was hired to fill the position. “I was fired for expressing edito rial opinion, said Gallucci, author of Athletic Oatmeal, which I ex pressed because James Breedlove (editor-in-chief) was doing nothing to solve the problems of the paper. “My firing will only attempt to mask problems of the paper and will not cure them. Breedlove will still have to handle the problems of un derpay and the photography de partment,’ Gallucci said. “Gallucci was fired because he couldn’t work with people, Breed love said. “His situation had grown intolerable with the photo depart ment and the Director of Student Publications. Eventually he even refused to work with me. “I felt that Gallucci was trying to pull the wool over my eyes when I discovered Friday morning an ‘Oatmeal’ I didn’t want run, I in formed Gallucci of the fact it wouldn’t run and expected him as Sports Editor to do something about it, Breedlove said. Gallucci left without filling 35 empty inches of space on the sports page. get all bicycles on-campus regis tered,’ Luther said. Such plans would consist primar ily of considerable publicity, re minding bicyclists that they are re quired to register bicycles with the UP within 48 hours after coming on-cam pus. After a period of such publicity, the UP would start issu ing tickets for unregistered bicy cles. Emergency aid Another UP duty is to provide assistance in transporting emergency patients to the Univer sity Medical Center. Well over half the on-campus emergency patients requiring assistance in being trans ported to the Center are aided by the UP. Often in such cases the UP will be called first by someone at the scene and a patrolman will automatically handle transporting the patient. If the Center is called first, a determi nation is made over the telephone as to the severity of the emergency. If the patient apparently can he safely transported by vehicle without spe cial medical attention, the UP is cal led, Center Administrative Assis tant T. P. Lackey said. In more seri ous cases a private ambulance com pany is called. The Health Center is now de veloping a plan whereby Military Aid to Safety and Traffic (MAST) helicopters can be used for high speed evacuation of extremely criti cal emergency cases. In such a plan the UP will play a major part, both in marking and in providing security for the northeast drill field landing area to be used by the MAST helicopters.

Briscoe says justice system much better Sue AuKema at Dena’s Hair Fashion specializes in layer cutting frosting & Men’s & Women’s Hair Styling. 106 Carson 822-6034 779-0676 The Texas criminal justice system is considerably better off than it was seven years ago because of in creased funds from the federal gov ernment to the Governor’s Criminal Justice Division. Governor Dolph Briscoe said Wednesday that since funds from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) began flow ing in during October 1968, a mod ern state-wide police radio system has been provided. In the last three years, the Crimi nal Justice Division has received an average of $40 million from the fed eral government. The funds have also helped to streamline court operations, and reduce the time between arrest and trial, Briscoe said. Criminal Justice Division funds have also helped to cut the backlog of cases in the Texas Court of Crimi nal Appeals by 50 per cent. Briscoe said a major improve ment is that “local jails in Texas are becoming more humane, more in line with court orders and more sus ceptible to inmate rehabilitation. The Criminal Justice Division has paid costs of planning and construc tion for county jails or correctional facilities in Gillespie, Bastrop, Wil son, McLennan and Kinney Coun ties. A total of 37 other counties have received grants for feasibility studies or pains for new or reno vated detention facilities. Improved correctional facilities have also appeared in the area of criminal probation. A total of 155 counties have re ceived grants for adult probation services and 152 have received money for juvenile probation ser vices. “Only a handful of these counties would have'any probation services at all without the grants,” Briscoe said. Other correctional projects in clude halfway houses, diversion projects, youth services and group homes. Police, prosecutors, judges, pro bation officers, jail administrators, defense attorneys and juvenile of ficers are far better trained now, Briscoe said.
