AUSTIN — The chancellor
of the University of Texas Sys
tem, Everitt Donald Walker,
appeared in Municipal Court
Tuesday on drunken driving
charges and was released on
$500 bond.
Walker, 60, was arrested
Monday night by Austin police
after he was spotted just after 10
p.m. near a downtown intersec
tion.
City court officials read the
UT official his rights and
ordered him to appear in Travis
County Court on March 8. Wal
ker did not enter a plea.
Police spokesman Sam Bal
lard said an officer began fol
lowing a 1980 Lincoln Con
tinental Monday night after it
was pointed out to him by other
motorists.
The officer said in his report
that he noted smoke burning
from the tires and “extensive
damage” to the front end of the
car.
The officer said he followed
the luxury car several blocks be
fore it yielded. He said he noted
parts falling off the car, which
was “swerving badly from the
middle to the left lane and back
again.”
At one point, he said, the car
began straddling both lanes.
Police then learned that Wal
ker’s car had apparently collided
with a truck at the intersection of
Fifth and Lamar streets. Ballard
said there was evidence of a colli
sion, including the grille from
Walker’s car, found at the in
tersection.
But he said the truck driver
did not remain at the scene, and
there apparently were no in
juries.
Walker was released to his
attorney’s custody after taking a
blood-alcohol test. Police de
clined to disclose results of the
test.
Walker, who was named
chancellor of the UT system in
October 1978, first joined the
university in 1955 as business
manager-comptroller of the
Galveston medical branch.

Iteering their time to work for
■rganizations and individuals in

tee, said volunteer work is the
best way to aid the community.
“The students don’t have
much money for charities, but
they do have the time and
labor,” said Nussbaum.
More than 6,000 people and
90 organizations plan to work
with the program.
The external affairs commit
tee contacted service clubs, char
ity organizations and the local
churches in the Bryan/College
Station area to learn where the
needs were.
Finding the needs was the
ha'rdest part of the program,
Nussbaum said.
The largest group participat
ing in the Big Event is the Corps
of Cadets with about 2,000 stu
dents. They will be working with
Brazos Beautiful Inc. to clean up
the Bryan/College Station area.
One hundred members of
the campus honor societies will
hold a canned and boxed food
drive for Twin Cities Mission in
Bryan. Other community pro
jects include cemetery clean
ups, a recreation day for dis
abled and aged residents, school
ground and park clean-ups,
house painting and exercise for
patients recovering from
strokes.
Haas Hall will be presenting a
talent show featuring the “Off-
Broadway Aggies” for the Bra
zos County Geriatric Center.
There also will be a sign-up
spot at the rally for individuals
who are not already working
with a campus organization and
want to work.
