Page 6/The Battalion/Thursday, April 14, 1983 Who is deafmute runaway? United Press International HOUSTON — Authorities Wednesday were trying to de termine the identity of a teen ager, who can neither speak nor hear, who sought help from a security guard, indicating he was a runaway from Canada who had lived on the streets for two weeks. Vincent P. Henderson, asssis- tant director of investigations for the Immigration and Natur alization Service, said juvenile probation authorities notified INS about the boy after deter mining he was an illegal alien. Henderson said authorities have reason to believe the youth, about 16, is running away from a foster home in Canada. Officials said the boy has indicated an in terest in returning to Canada, but not to the foster parents, and that his fear of returning home is complicating the efforts to identify him. Investigators have been un able to identify the boy by check ing with authorities in Toronto or Quebec City — cities he has mentioned in notes. Henderson said all communi cation with the boy is through notes, since he apparently doesn’t understand sign lan guage in English or French and doesn’t read lips. The blue-eyed, brown-haired boy turned himself in to a mall security guard Henderson said, and wrote that he was tired of living on the streets of Houston. Henderson said juvenile probation authorities had indi cations the boy sneaked into the United States with the help of a truck driver. The boy, who Henderson said is terrified of being locked up, is staying at the Houston Com munity Youth Center. have a BEER PROVIDED PACTT ! university dr u-tot-em tickets at RUDDER BOX OFFICE MSC $8.00 presale $9.00 at door TAMU 4=n| S.S. 41 1 11 U 813*4 TITANIC CATTY "Help Build upon a Great Precedent” MSC ENDOWED LECTURE SERIES announces interviews for EXECUTIVE POSITIONS Sign up: April 14-18 Interviews: April 19-21 Applications available in MSC Room #216 at Secretaries’ island. Rabbinical Assembly denies woman entry United Press International DALLAS — The president of the Rabbinical Assembly says the closeness of a vote that denied membership to a woman indicates that it is like ly the organization of Conser vative rabbis will admit women in the near future.
