Business Communication Services 4013 Texas Ave. S. 846-5794 lestfn- United Press International AUSTIN — Texas politics has become a big money game, so much so that many say only the very wealthy or those willing to align themselves with special in terests can afford to step into the statewide campaigns that next year will cost an estimated $35 million. Political candidates, and those who organize campaigns, predict that the price tag for the 1982 gubernatorial campaign could approach $20 million if as many as three or four Democrats battle for their party’s nomination, then challenge Republican Gov. Bill Clements, the all-time spending champion of Texas politics. Clements spent more than $7 million to win the office in 1978, and apparently is prepared to spend whatever it takes in 1982 for a second term. The cost of chal lenging Clements, whose fund raising success has been unpre cedented, is so high that Texas Democratic Chairman Bob Slagle tried unsuccessfully to promote a plan to have Democrats pick their candidate through a mini convention rather than spending millions of dollars campaigning against each other. Now that that plan has failed, Slagle says Democrats could easily spend up to $8 million in their primary race for governor, deplet ing much of the money they could use to challenge Clements. “It could be $10 million to $12 million,” Slagle said. “If we get three or four candidates in there, they’re bound to spend $6 million to $8 million; they’re bound to spend $1.5 million to $2 million each. You just can’t run a state wide race for any less than that. ” Campaign costs in Texas have been escalating rapidly since Pre ston Smith first broke the million- dollar campaign spending barrier in 1968. In 1972, Dolph Briscoe spent $1.6 million in the gov ernor’s race and William P. Hob by spent slightly more than $1 mil lion in becoming lieutenant gov ernor. Now, Slagle calculates, $5 mil lion is a middle-of-the-road price tag for a gubernatorial campaign. “One of the real shames of our politics today is that it costs so darn much money to run for office,” Slagle said. “You’ve got it down now to where people of higher middle in come cannot afford to run for a district office unless they’re fi nanced by a bunch of people who are very wealthy and don’t mind giving money to them for one reason or another. “It’s just priced the middle class out of office holding unless they represent special interests that are wealthy. That’s one of the alarm ing things.” A primary reason for the high cost of campaigning in Texas is the large number of media markets in which a candidate must advertise to gain name identification and get his message across to Texas voters. “I don’t know what the cost is this year, but in 1978 a 30-second television spot on a Dallas station in prime time cost $3,000,” Slagle said. He said the cost of producing the spot averaged around $6,000. “The public relations people tell me you have to run the same thing at least eight times before it really sinks in on the majority of viewers,” he said, “so you’re talk ing about spending $24,000 per station in one major market to get one concept or one image across one time. It’s horrendous.” The governor’s race is not the only contest in 1982 that will re quire big money financing. Sen. Walter Mengden, R- Houston, and Rep. Jim Collins, R-Texas, are expected to spend in the neighborhood of $1 million in the Republican primary to deter mine who will challenge Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas. Mengden has estimated it will take a minimum of $3 million to $4 million to campaign successfully against Bentsen, whom he expects will spend approximately $5 mil lion. That moves the price tag on the U.S. Senate race to about $10 million. Other statewide races such as those for comptroller and agricul ture commissioner, coupled with 27 congressional races and 181 state legislative races could easily push the cost of political cam paigns in Texas next year to the $50 million mark.

Scott underwent three hours of emergency surgery at L.V. Stab ler Memorial Hospital after the accident Thursday and may have more surgery Monday. His right hand and left foot were caught in the cornpicker Thursday when he tried to clear grass from the jammed farm machine. Mrs. Scott said her son told family members that he kicked himself free with his right foot. She said his right arm was severed three or four inches below the elbow and his left leg was ripped off about one-third of the way be tween the ankle and knee. He then crawled back on the cornpicker, drove it threefourths of a mile to his home, got into a pickup truck and drove eight miles to a Greenville hospital. He did not stop to alert his older sis ter, who was home at the time. Outside the hospital emergency room he blew the horn for help. She said a nurse came out, saw his mangled arm and rushed back for a wheelchair. When the nurse re turned with the chair, the boy had started to get out of the truck and she saw his foot had been severed. His mother said the nurse ran back for a stretcher. “The doctor said the flesh was mangled. It look like he must have pulled them (his hand and foot) off,” his mother said. “He felt like it was that or lose his life. He knew he had to get out.” “It was really a miracle that he maintained his strength and sta mina to get there,” said Mrs. Scott, whose husband Alfred is a mechanic for a propane gas com pany and parttime farmer. “He told Alfred, ‘it wasn’t easy’. We just don’t understand how he could possibly have done it,” she said. “The only thing he’s said is, T just can’t believe it happened’.” “He seems to be doing real well,” she said. “He’s been awake and alert, talking and joking with us. “His attitude seems good and it appears he’s going to accept the loss of his hand and foot. ” SPECIAL NOTICE SPECIAL NOTICE Amputees elbow in on science AGGIE I AND REFUND POLICY “Yearbook fees are refundable in fell during; the semester In which payment is made.

Please call 693-4447, 693-4442. 39t5 Long haired grey cat 260-1677 or 693- United Press International NEW YORK — Two partly bionic men make their living these days the way they did before each lost an arm — one holding down his job as a maintenance worker on the Alaska pipeline; the other, running a front end loader. They are among an exclusive club of workers who wear a “Bos ton elbow” — the latest in state-of- the-art electronic parts for the above-elbow amputee. It weighs 2.5 pounds, hums a little and can lift 4.5 pounds. It supports 50 pounds when locked into a right angle position. It flexes like an elbow, rotates like one and has a 30-degree free swing. Dr. Allen L. Cudworth, a bioengineer, told about the two workers to make this point: The bionic “elbow, ” which costs around $2,500, is getting arm amputees back to work and leisure time activities — providing, of course, they are suitable candi dates. The ideal candidate for the “Boston elbow” is an above-elbow amputee with functional biceps and triceps muscles. Cudworth is director of the Li berty Mutual Life Insurance Re search Center in Hopkinton, Mass, where scientists have been working to perfect the myoelec- trically controlled prothesis for more than a decade. Cudworth said the first primi tive Boston arm started taking shape in the late 1960s. He said it is called “Boston” because Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology students worked with the people at the center in developing it. The ’69 arm — an early model — was bulky and required a six- pound battery pack, worn on a strap slung over the shoulder. By contrast, the latest arm pow er pack weighs around eight ounces and is mounted in the fore arm. It can be recharged in 15 minutes — providing enough electrical charge for an 8-hour work day. Thanks to electronics, the amputee can command his man made “elbow” the way he did his real one — by brainpower. The brain tells muscles in the upper arm to tighten. “When you tighten a skeletal muscle you create continuous dis charges of muscle signals on the skin surface and they can be pick ed up,” Cudworth said. The signal from biceps and triceps is picked up and it indi cates what the amputee wants his elbow to do. The transmission is just about as fast as the natural brain signal before the amputa tion. However, there is a problem: grasping. Cudworth said the mus cles that control the finger mo tions are below the elbow. Since that part of the arm has been amputated, myoelectric activity won’t work. As a result, the amputee must use a terminal device — a grasping hook or switch-operated electric hand. The patient must be able to shrug the affected shoulder for ward enough to operate a pull switch or a cable-operated termin al device. Cudworth said an effort is now underway to develop a “hand” that will work just as naturally as the “Boston elbow.” BUY. Sm,TWAOe OR WENT THROUGH THE I
