CUSTOM SOUNDS First Ever TAX REFUND CELEBRATION! h— United Press International : AUSTIN — Citing studies that show most alcohol-related traffic deaths involve repeat offenders, a West Texas senator has announced plans to sponsor ilegislation aimed at getting [drunks off Texas roadways. K“We feel our realistic penal ties, along with good admissible evidence, will encourage guilty defendants to plead guilty to DWI,” Sen. Bill Sarpalius, D- Herford, said Tuesday. ■ The senator said present DWI laws encourage persons i.arrested to plead guilty to lesser charges, thus escaping harsher penalties for subsequent offenses. H Under his proposals, any per- d of drunk <' son suspectec driving who refuses to submit to a blood or breath test within one hour of arrest, would have his or her driver’s license automatically re voked. The refusal also would be admissible in court. “We have learned through our research that most of the traffic deaths attributed to alco hol are the result of repeat offenders,” Sarpalius said. “For the first time, we will know who the repeat offenders are and will deal with them har shly.” He said this legislation is de signed to give repeat offenders suffer penalties. The proposed legislation, which he plans to submit next session, also would increase penalties for repeat offenders. The penalties would include mandatory jail sentences. Sarpalius’ proposals to curb drunk driving, announced at a Capitol news conference Tues day, drew immediate support from Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby. Under Sarpalius’ plan, pun ishment for a first DWI convic tion would be a fine of $300 to $1,000 and three days to two years in jail, which may be prob ated. The person convicted also would be required to attend a special school, and would be permitted to drive only for occu pational purposes for 90 days. Second offenders would face fines of $500 to $2,000, manda tory jail sentences of three days to two years, and up to six months suspension of driving MSC Gallery exhibits tapestries, sculptures for 1 I—IPTC* 1 \Vour OW'®*' \ .—' \ cwu ' 0 * 196V. »' s0 • &s TTTrher V« 196^ end''-'*, U»** , mu'® rtrt' ,nr ou^r^6® , • tot»\ iouV*'t sv«t« t0,S ® Have you already got that tax refund check?

Lyman’s commissioned works are featured in private collections in Oregon, Louisiana and Texas. She said her latest works highlight the tension between fantasy and reality and between the creative self and formal con ventions. “Each piece is an attempt to interpret the process which transforms mere rote existence into a strong human experi ence,” Lyman said.
