i Doctor tells of violent captors
United Press International
l ALTON, Ill. — Dr. Hectoi
iZevallos, the abortion clinic
'operator who was abducted and
* held captive for eights days by
»three members of the Army of
»God, says the three told him they
* had “bombed and burned”
" other abortion clinics.
“They said they had bombed
.‘ and burned clinics in the past,”
jsaid Zevallos, “and they would
^continue to do so as long as abor-
vtion is legal.”
£ Zevallos was the first witness
4 called Tuesday at the trial of
nDon Benny Anderson, 42, of
Pearland, Texas. Anderson is
; one of three men who allegedly
abducted Zevallos and his wife,
Rosalie Jean, from their
* Edwardsville home on Aug. 12.
The three identified themselves
. as belonging to the Army of
IGod.
’ . The couple was held captive
in an abandoned concrete bunk
er near Illiopolis for eight days
until Zevallos agreed he would
stop performing abortions at the
clinic. They were taken back
home and released unharmed.
Zevallos, a native of Peru, said
he and his wife were kept blind
folded and handcuffed
together, and constantly feared
they would be killed.
“At every second, we thought
we were going to be executed,”
said Zevallos. “I never thought
that we’d be freed.”
Zevallos, 53, was composed
during most of his testimony,
but faltered when speaking of
his wife. U.S. District Judge Wil
liam L. Beatty suggested a re
cess, but Zevallos waved him off.
“There was not one second
that she did not cry,” Zevallos
said of his wife. “I tried to con
sole her and tell her everything
was all right. I was trying to get
her to be strong.”
Zevallos identified Anderson
as one of three men who came to
his house the night of the abduc
tion, and inquired about land
the doctor had for sale. When
they went outside to inspect the
property, Zevallos said the three
jumped him.
Zevallos said the concrete
bunker was extremely hot, and
had only a large can containing a
plastic trash bag as a lavatory.
He said he and his wife were
given mostly peanut butter
sandwiches and soda for food.
Zevallos said the three initially
wanted money, but later forced
him to make a tape asking Presi
dent Reagan to speak out
against abortion. Zevallos said
he realized then they were
“fanatics who would kill us with
out hesitation.”
“He kept saying he talks to
God,” Zevallos said of Ander
son. “He said he gets the vibra
tions in his body and puts them
into words.”
Under cross-examination,
Zevallos said he and his wife
were not physically harmed, but
added, “Emotionally we were
harmed, and we are still
harmed.”
Defense attorney Wayne T.
Schoeneberg asked Zevallos a-
bout his clinic, and the doctor
said it performed about 70
abortions a week at a minimum
charge of $200. The doctor said
the clinic had a yearly income of
about $750,000 from abortions.
“Do you believe life begins at
conception,” Schoeneberg ask
ed Zevallos.
The doctor hesitated, then
answered, “I don’t.”
“Don’t people picket the place
all the time,” asked the attorney.
“No,” replied the doctor.
The two others charged in the
incident are brothers from New
Caney, Texas. Wayne A. Moore,
18, pleaded gulty to a conspiracy
charge and is expected to testify
against Anderson. Matthew
Moore, 20, is awaiting trial.
Anderson sat impassively
during Tuesday’s proceedings.
He blew kisses to his wife and
mouthed “I love you” when en
tering and leaving the cour
troom. Anderson is charged
only with conspiring and
attempting to obstruct interstate
commerce by threats of force.
State authorities have said
they will await the outcome of
the trial and possible sentencing
before deciding whether to pur
sue kidnapping charges. Feder
al officials said the three defen
dants were not charged with kid
napping because they did not
take the Zevalloses across state
lines.

Cyanide
threats
puzzling
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — Officials
arrested six people in connec
tion with a string of cyanide
poisoning threats against dozens
of Louisiana water systems and
said they were close to more
arrests today. The scare was not
believed to be part of an orga
nized effort.
An angry Gov. Dave Treen
promised Tuesday to “spare no
expense” in tracking down the
callers, who had threatened to
poison at least 53 water systems,
and assembled a state-federal
task force to combat the bizarre
outbreak.
By late Tuesday authorities
had arrested a 20-year-old Gon
zales man and five teenagers in
various communities. State
police said more arrests were ex
pected today.
“I want the perpetrators of
this crime to know they will be
prosecuted to the absolute limit
of the law,” Treen said. “The
• head of the state police has been
instructed he is to spare no ex
pense. We’re going to put an
; end to this foolishness.”
The anonymous phone
threats, which began last Thurs
day in St. Gabriel and spread to
other communities during the
weekend, puzzled authorities
and deprived up to a quarter-
million people of tap water
Monday, the systems could then
be tested for poison.
On Tuesday, traces of the
poison were detected in tests on
a sample from the Hammond
water system, but subsequent
. samples revealed none.
, “We do not feel there is any
organized effort,” State Police
Commander Grover “Bo” Gar
rison said. “There have been dif
ferent voices — male and female
voices.”
Hammond officials shut
down their water system Mon
day night after receiving an
anonymous phone threat.
“There could have been
cyanide introduced to the Ham
mond water,” Dan Strecker, a
chemist and lab supervisor for
West Paine Laboratories in
Baton Rouge, said. “But, based
on the huge quantities of water
you’re dealing with in a muni
cipal system, you could put
. cyanide in it that’s not detected.”
State health officials said mi
nute amounts of cyanide natu
rally can occur in water. Lafayet-
. te Mayor Dud Lastrapes said it
would take some 14 tons of
cyanide to affect his city’s sys
tem, and even that amount
would be insufficient to pose
health hazards.

College of Business Administration
Expanded Program for 1983 Career Fair!
by Susan DuBois
What comes once a year, gives
business students an edge in job-
hunting, gives recruiters an edge
in personnel recruiting, and gives
Business Student Council mem
bers a lot of headaches and a big
sense of accomplishment? If you
answered, "The Annual Business
Career Fair!," you're absolutely
right.
This year's Career Fair, to be
held January 31 through February
2, will feature some 55 companies
on two days. Company booths will
be set up in the first floor lobby of
the Academic & Agency Building,
and students may stop by anytime
between 8:30a.m. and 4:30p.m. to
meet company representatives.
Several new and growing com
panies will be represented this
year at the Fair for the first time.
Included among the new partici
pants are Randall's Food Markets
of Houston, Radio Shack, and
Tymeshare. Many of the com
panies that have been coming for
the past few years will be return
ing for Career Fair '83, among
these are Gulf, Exxon, the "Big
Ten" public accounting firms,
Pennzoil, Tenneco, Luby's

Students also have the chance to
meet with company representa
tives at the Career Fair Banquet.
Each student reserves a seat at the
banquet table of a particular com
pany; you may choose the com
pany that seems most interesting
to you, on a first-come first-served
basis until each company table is
filled. Banquet tickets sell for $5
each and are on sale in the A&A
lobby Monday through Friday
January 24-28. The banquet will be
held Tuesday, February 1 at 7p.m.
in the MSC second floor banquet
rooms.
The Business Student Council is
also sponsoring a series of semi
nars on topics of interest to stu
dents of all classifications through
out Business Week. Topics to be
covered in the Career Fair semi
nars include the future for women
in business, changing values in the
business world, how much com
puterese should a graduate know,
salesmanship, a graduate's per
sonal finances in the first year after
graduation, and how to deal with
stress. Guest speakers include
managers, recruiters, and Texas
A&M faculty and staff. Look for
signs announcing time and place
for each seminar in the first floor
lobby of the A&A Building.
As a new part of Business Career
Fair in 1983, the Center for Retail
ing Studies in the Department of
Marketing is sponsoring the Re
tailing Career Fair. Retailers such
as Dillard's, H. E. Butt, Joske's,
Neiman-Marcus, and Kroger's will
have booths set up on February 1
along with the other companies
attending Career Fair. Seminars
and panel discussions dealing
with retailing topics will be pre
sented on February 2 from 8:30
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in room 601 of
Rudder Tower. A listing of retail
company booths and a complete
schedule for the Retailing Career
Symposium will be provided in
this publication on Monday.
The Business Career Fair is en
tirely student-planned and con
ducted. Each year for the past
three years, members of the Busi
ness Student Council have plan
ned, organized, and hosted the
Career Fair in conjunction with
Business Week activities. The
Business Student Council, made
up of elected and appointed stu
dent members from each of the de
partmental organizations, works
the entire year preparing for the
annual event.
Each phase of the Fair is handled
by many volunteers organized
into a network of committees: hos
pitality, meals, seminars, booths,
publicity, banquet, "The Busi
ness", and reception.
Without the work of these
volunteers to set up booths,
answer the phones, handle corres
pondence, greet the company rep
resentatives, make banquet and
meal arrangements, and run many
errands. Business 'Career Fair
would never be successful. Each
year more than 100 students give
of themselves and of their time to
make the Fair a reality.
What do the companies think of
the Business Career Fair?
"The Business Career Fair is an
excellent medium for identifying
potential recruits and helping stu
dents with their course selection
decisions," wrote David Rainwa
ter, Director of Employment and
Business
Week '83
Schedule
Classrooms filled with students
and college professors this week
will have the special benefit of the
expertise and experience of prac
ticing business professionals from
the "real world." This will afford
an opportunity for learning and
growth through questioning and
interchange of ideas between visit
ing executives and students.

the following:

"We enjoyed our partidpation
in the Business Career Fair last
year," wrote Raul Cantu, Jr,,
Senior Systems Analyst for Shell
Oil Company. "We hope that we
were able to give the students a
good perspective as to career
opportunities available with Shell
Oil."
"I recruit in a region of 30 states
and attend similar functions in
many schools," said John Harnett
with Bank of America, Los
Angeles, a veteran of three career
fairs. "And Texas A&M's Business
Career Fair is by far the most pro
fessional and effective and im
pressive I've ever seen."
