In response to the need, two Irving women are attempting to gain tax-exempt status for a one- year-old group designed to match terminally ill youth with those capable of making their wish come true. Make-A-rWish Inc. was formed in Phoenix, Ariz., after the mother of a leukemia victim asked the Arizona Department of Public Safety about granting her son’s wish to be a policeman. Shortly before his death, the boy, 7, was named an honorary policeman. America’s favorite old-fashioned ice cream parlor. $lP°off any SUPER SUNDAE With Purchase of One Super Sundae at Regular Price.

Irving res dents Neal Lee and Suzette Telatnyk are among the board’s directors. Telatnyk knows the helpless ness parents of terminally ill youth face — she lost her son seven years ago. “My little boy was 2'/2-years old when he died, so he wasn’t really old enough to express a wish,” she said. “But with an old er child, you couldn’t deny that it (death) was happening. I hope we can do something to make some child’s life happier and help his parents. I’ve been in volved in a lot of community activities, and this is something that I felt I really wanted to do.” Lee, the mother of a daughter, 7, joined forces with Telatnyk out of a feeling of helplessness. “Children are extremely im portant to me,” she said. “I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a child. I choke up every time I read a story about them. It’s frus trating and depressing because there’s nothing you can do.” Linda Dozoretz, an Arizona spokesman for the organization, said the group began as an all volunteer effort. Only this year did the group hire two part-time staff members. “We try to turn a totally nega tive situation so dial it will be somewhat positive,” she said. “Not every wish costs money. We had one child whose wish was to get a birthday card.” FINALS START IN ONLY 7-WEEKS While Hi still free. Jeni Malara, Student “I had C's in high school.

Persons using computers at UT first noticed the unautho rized use of the system when messages began popping up on their computer terminals. “Some of our ‘real users’ were getting messages that were obnoxious or obscene or, at best, bothersome,” said Robert Paver, UT manager of computer user services. : mldH' h.
