BASTROP — Three federal
prison inmates armed with one
pistol briefly held eight guards
hostage but gave up the apparent
escape attempt because more
guards were rushed to the scene, a
prison spokesman said Tuesday.
No one was hurt in the incident
Monday at the Federal Correc
tional Institution near Bastrop.
Prison spokesman Beeler
Gausz said four guards were taken
hostage and held for about a half-
hour. He said four other guards
who rushed to the scene were held
for a few minutes before other
guards arrived.
Gausz said the hostages were
bound and locked in rooms adja
cent to the woodworking factory
by the inmates. He said one of the
guards managed to work himself
free and telephoned security,
which rushed more aid to the
scene.
Gausz said the inmates made
no demands of officials and appa
rently were trying to escape. He
said they finally surrendered after
realizing they had no chance.

te Drinking age bill
^ets compromise
United Press International
AUSTIN — A second com-
ut not all iromise on legislation raising the
ininimum legal drinking age in
Graduate Texas to 19 would place an unfair
itheCol- burden on retailers to prove their
wo in the bstomers were old enough to buy
— were beer and liquor, a lobbyist for the
relectkn Texas Retail Grocers Association
ind certi- ’Said Tuesday.
Johnnie B. Rogers said the
seniors, latest compromise agreed to by
election 'members of a House and Senate
ed will inference committee places the
collected >urden of proof on the seller of
Jcoholic beverages to verify the
itAubrej age of the customer rather than
the two 'leaving the burden on the custom-
by grad! Reprove he or she is of legal age.
iometinif i This changes the burden of
sr or earl; 'rooffrom the perpetrator to the
ependinj detim, no question about that,”
ident de Rogers said.
The latest compromise in the
wiewthi "onth-long dispute concerning
Twice, he ^ drinking age bill now goes to
the House and Senate for con-
ms, all d ''deration. If either house fails to
nt sloh >° along with the revisions, the
mwereJ Terence committee again will
process 'beforced to resume negotiations,
ot on the I "It does put the burden on the
enonthe Jailer, no question about it, but
that’s part of the business,” said
'Hep. Ron Coleman, D-EI Paso,
iranygtf ^hoproposed the compromise. “I
was 23; ^ on ’t think that’s an onerous bur-
■ than ten ^ en on retailers. If there’s a
i one scintilla of doubt in the retailer’s

Coleman’s suggestion removed
the legal presumption, and speci
fied only that a retailer violates the
law if he or she sells alcoholic be
verages to a person under 19 and
does not check proper identifica
tion.
A&M University March 30. Kirk
patrick said a videotape can be
made upon the request of a
teacher in the department or if a
lecture is relevant to a class.
The videotapes are generally
used for teaching purposes but can
be loaned out of the department
on request, Kirkpatrick said.
It was easy for the department
to videotape, he said, since it has
its own equipment. He said the
political science department will
be doing more taping in the frutre,
so long as time and the necessary
resources are available.
Commager was brought the
Texas A&M by the University
Lecture Committee, Dr. Donald
McDonald chairman of the com
mittee said. The committee spon
sors four lectures a year, three of
which are in conjunction with the
different colleges, with the fourth
being given by a faculty member
at Texas A&M.
For the most part, permission
from the speakers alone is needed
to videotape, Kirkpatrick said.
Sometimes there is a problem
with this, because some speakers
feel it interferes with copyright,
especially with popular lectures,
Kirkpatrick said.
MSG Great Issues and Political
Forum usually record speeches
they sponsor hut have not made
any plans to videotape in the fu
ture, said committee advisers
Suzanne Becker and David
Mucci.
LIFE IS A PERSON!
The Bible tells us that life is God Himself, life is Christ. Colossians 3:4 speaks of “Christ who is our life."
Hence, life is a wonderful Person! The very life which we received when we believed in the Lord Jesus is a
Person! 1 John 5:12 says, “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."
What is needed then to experience life is an intimate, living, and continual contact with this dear Person in
the depths of our being. Nothing is more intimate, more experiential, more one with our very being than
life. And the Bible informs us that Christ has come into us to be our life. Thus we need a daily, practical
experience of this Person becoming and being the very life that pulsates through us. Nothing must replace
Him. Christ is not a teaching to learn, and He is not a gift to employ. He is not a power to use or a behavior
to live out. We appreciate these things in their proper place. But Christ is rather a wonderful Person
indwelling us to be experienced as our life. Do not tell others that you have known Jesus for many years.
That means very little. What matters is that you have an intimate, living experience of Him right now. We
must know Him as our present life. May God unveil Him to us as our life, and may we aspire to know and
experience Him as life to the uttermost!
