IRVING — Every year in
Texas many terminally ill chil
dren die without ever getting
the final pleasure or gift they
hope for before they will be
beyond either pleasure or pain,
griefs or gifts.
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.

Since then a 15-member
board of directors has been
formed and met the unique
wishes of 31 dying children.
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.”

AUSTIN — Five high school
students described as “very
smart kids” by school officials
have been reprimanded for
patching into computers at the
University of Texas and using
$200 in computer time.
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.

School students were ordered by
