Safety, fences
Consol board OKs improvements
By STEVE LEE
Battalion Reporter
The A&M Consolidated Board of
Education Monday acted on three
measures that will work towards
campus improvements.
Landscape architect Michael
Murphy presented to the board
long-range improvement ideas for
the five district campuses.
The board voted unanimously to
ask the City of College Station to
close Holik Street to traffic between
the old and new middle school cam
puses. Murphy suggested that this
measure would prevent traffic
hazards and allow further improve
ments to the middle school area.
Accordingly, the board voted to
authorize Murphy to work with the
city to resolve other traffic problems
around the middle school.
Murphy presented plans to im
prove the fencing around South
Knoll Elementary School, which the
board also passed.

VATICAN CITY — Roman Catholic cardinals, upset over rumors
of foul play, have ordered the Vatican to publicly clarify the cir
cumstances surrounding the unexpected death of Pope John Paul I,
an Italian newspaper said Monday.
The moderate Turin daily, Stampa Sera, said the cardinals were
deeply displeased with the way the Vatican’s secretive bureaucracy,
the Curia, handled the pope’s death.
The cardinals were particularly angry, Stampa Sera said, about the
terse official announcement the Curia released after John Paul s de
mise. The fact that no medical certificate was obtained pinpointing
the exact causes of death also upset the cardinals. Stampa Sera said
the Curia had been ordered to rectify the situation and answer all
“questions aroused in public opinion’’ before the secret conclave of
cardinals begins Saturday to elect the next pontiff.
Father Romeo Panciroli, the official Vatican spokesman, said he
was unable to comment on the reports at this time.
Pope John Paul died of an apparent heart attack alone in his bed
room Sept. 28 — after only 34 days on the papal throne.
The cardinals returned to the formality of Vatican Palace meetings
Monday after an inconclusive round of informal, but frank weekend
discussions about the choice of a successor to the late pope.

It may well be the ultimate car sound system you can buy. The system includes a car stereo cassette tape deck
with a built-in AM/FM stereo Supertuner with the kind of feel, performance and overall personality of home

WASHINGTON — The nation’s
second largest postal union has
overwhelmingly ratified a three-
year contract imposed by a special
arbitrator, sources said Monday,
greatly reducing chances of an il
legal nationwide mail strike.
But rank-and-file members of the
180,000-member National Associa
tion of Letter Carriers also voted to
oust president J. Joseph Vacca and
elect a new, more militant leader —
New York branch president Vincent
Sombrotto, the sources said.
Official results of the contract
vote are expected to be made public
Tuesday.
Union sources said the members
voting in the last three weeks over
whelmingly approved the contract
decision of special mediator James
Healy.

rator when he could not bring about

More than 1,000 Mexicans move into Houston every week, makim
it second only to Denver in illegal alien population, says a migratioc
expert with the U.S. Catholic Conference in El Paso.
Louis Alfonso Valarde, southwest director of Migration and Re
fugee Services, made his observation during closing speeches at thf
Town and Country Church Conference held at Texas A&M Univer
sity.
About 100 ministers and lay leaders attended the two-day session
held last Thursday and Friday.
“I don’t think there is a solution to the undocumented alien prob

to help alleviate it, but there is no permanent solution.
We could erect a Berlin Wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to
morrow and it wouldn’t stop the flow of illegal alliens,” he stressed
“The reason most of them come into the U.S. is jobs.
“If our economy wasn’t so much better than their own, they would
have little or no reason for being here,” Valarde said. “For eve
created in Mexico today, there are four people horn that need it to
survive.”
Valarde said a conservative estimate of the number of illegal aliens
living in America today would be between five and six million.
Aliens are also moving farther into the interior of the United
States. The farther they live from the border, the less likely thei:
chances of beine caught, Valarde said.
Valarde also cited studies that showed only a small percentage
undocumented aliens were using America’s welfare system illegal!,
