ms state «evem Bexar criminals get unwarranted break United Press International SAN ANTONIO — If another )unty or state needs a wanted cri- linal arrested in Bexar County, they lay have to wait a long time, a news paper reported Tuesday. The San Antonio Light said in an tclusive story that felony warrants for serious crimes are being filed fiway and not actively worked under a new policy put into effect at the first ! ' of the year by Sheriff Rudy Garza, i) tot t i “Also filed are misdemeanor, traf- 'oliinlf fic and parole and probation violation warrants from other jurisdictions,” the newspaper said. “Only chance works against the wanted person now. For example, if a city policeman or sheriff s deputy stops a person for a routine traffic violation and runs a computer check, an outstanding warrant would be dis covered. Then an arrest is made.” The sheriff s office said it had three fewer warrant officers than were working in 1975 and at the same time in-county warrants increased 20 per cent from 1975 to 1980. The number of out-of-county war rants tripled during the same period, Garza said, with about 35 felony and 115 misdemeanor warrants from other counties received each month. “It’s not fair to the people of Bexar County to have wanted criminals running around the street,” said an anonymous source which tipped the newspaper to the discontinuation of serving out-of-county warrants. earns exas more money LSUi Cbmi show! 1 sides United Press International ,, AUSTIN — Comptroller Bob Bul lock said Tuesday a program to move tax revenue through his office and into banks faster will significantly in- -jprease the interest the state earns on its deposits. :: Bullock said the new tax proces sing system deposits tax money through a single-step operation ab out 72 hours faster than the previous stem. In a six-day period in late March, he said the new system pro duced an additional $47,700 interest on state deposits, “The quicker tax dollars move through our department, the quick er they end up in a bank earning taxpayers extra interest,” he said. Bullock said records in his depart ment show the new system made de posits of $235,873,835 between March 13 and March 31. “You don’t have to be secretary of the treasury to see the interest potential on that kind of cash flow, ” he said. Bullock said the new program util izes a computer to handle tax re ceipts, taxpayer accounts and fund allocation all in a single step, rather than in three separate steps pre viously used. It means multiple de posits may be made each day and allows the deposits to begin earning interest earlier. vertime pay delay hits census workers I! United Press International . LUBBOCK — Things aren’t adding up at the census office. As a result, some 500 temporary employees have been working heavy overtime schedules, but their paychecks do not reflect the extra hours they put in. Mitzi Jordan, a district manager for the census bureau, Tuesday said her West Texas office has submitted overtime reports to Dallas, but there have been no results. The problem, she said, apparently surfaced when the Dallas payroll office changed its computerized payroll system format in midstream. The Lubbock office, like others, was notified to resubmit overtime re ports on a different form. Jordan said the forms were filled out and resubmitted, but when the checks finally arrived, there was no overtime pay. “It is not just Lubbock,” she said, adding that 37 or so regional payroll centers across the United States are apparently having similar problems. “I’m concerned, of course, but I would be alarmed if it was just us,” she said. Paychecks for a routine 40-hour work week apparently were not affected by the computer problem, she said. Meanwhile, employees have been notified their overtime payments will be delayed, but they will even tually be compensated for their extra work. “They will get it. The federal gov ernment will not beat them out of it, ” Jordon said. But because of the problems, some employees said they are con sidering working elsewhere. rf 11 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1980 PS-8 Loudspeaker “sound as dear as light” FULL SYSTEM Power Capacity Nominal Impedance Dispersion Crossover Frequency Efficiency Frequency Response 100 watts (clean power) 6 otims 120 dee. horizontal, 40 deg. vert. 2,400 Hz. 1 watt input produces 94 dB of sound pressure at 3 feet. 80 dB at 16 feet. 50 to 20,000 Hz pius/mlnus 3dB m i Jte wmM nil Half air-motion transformer midrange- tweater—the most significant loud speaker breakthrough of the past half century.
