MEMBERS of the 1977
Executive Development Course
at Texas A&M University have
dug into their pocketbooks to
demonstrate support for their
new alma mater. The 58 execu
tives attending the three-week
course wrote checks for $20
apiece to present $1,160 to the
University on the eve of their
departure. Marvin N. Swink,
energy conservation manager for
the Gas Company of New
Mexico and a 1954 A&M
graduate, presented the check to
A&M Development Director
Robert L. Walker. Swink said
the contribution was made be
cause participants wanted to
honor Executive Development
Programs Director B. J. Adams,
and because the executives were
impressed with A&M and its
students in general.
TOURS of the Texas A&M
University campus are now of
fered weekly for adults by the
Visitor Information Center in
Rudder Tower. Walking tours of
the campus will be anytime dur
ing regular working hours each
Monday, except on holidays.
Reservations must be made in
advance. Arrangements may be
made by calling 845-5852.
Texas
DALLAS police have accused
a 29-year-old advertising execu
tive of being the “friendly rapist”
responsible for at least 75 sexual
assaults during the last 18
months. “He told his victims he
didn’t want to hurt them and
never has hurt one of them,
other than raping them’, a police
spokesman said. The suspect was
identified as Guy William Mar
ble Jr., vice president-business
manager of Public Relation Ad
visors, Inc. By late yesterday.
Marble was charged with five
rapes with bonds of $250,000 on
each count.
TEMPORARY furloughs for
convicts was unanimously ap
proved yesterday by the Senate.
The bill which now goes to the
House for consideration would
limit convicts to no more than
two furloughs per year in order
to obtain medical treatment, at
tend funerals or visit critically ill
relatives. Dolph Briscoe vetoed
similar legislation two years ago,
but is expected to be satisfied
with the rewritten bill.
AGRICULTURAL loans are
harder to come by because of in
creased farming expenses, West
Texas bank officers say. A recent
statewide survey of 149 lenders
by the Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service showed potential
loan customers could not be
served, loan payments were
lower, and more collateral was
required.
PENALTIES for the misuse of
food stamps is being urged by
Sen. John Traeger, D-Seguin.
The state legislator said yester
day that on some occasions the
stamps have been used in poker
and craps games. The Senate
Human Resources Committee
voted unanimously to provide
jail terms and fines for persons
caught misusing food stamps.
The bill now goes to the full Se
nate.

Cause said yesterday in a state

filed with the Federal Election
Commission.
THE WARMING spell that
broke the grip of Arctic air in
much of the East last week is
likely to be replaced by more
colder-than-normal weather dur
ing the next 30 days. A National
Weather Service spokesman said
yesterday the anticipated colder
and drier weather means snow
should melt slowly during the
next month—good news for
areas of the Ohio River basin that
had been threatened with
flooding—but the outlook, given
a six out of 10 chance of being
right, offered no relief for
drought-stricken California.
