A hacksaw blade found in a
edown of the Brazos Coun
jail is not the same type used
;onstruction workers at the
!exas Avenue jail site, contrac-
riBill Elliot of Utley-James of
|xas Inc. said Wednesday,
he blade found was from a
iyman’s saw, not a heavy-
duty saw normally used by con
struction workers, he said.
The blade was found in a
search of the jail after the Brazos
County Sheriffs department
discovered workers had access
to the jail through a roof entr
ance adjacent to both the old jail
and new expansion. The entr
ance is used to maintain equip
ment on the roof.
Elliot said he has taken mea
sures to keep people out of the
old jail. The workers were told
to stay away from the entrance
and that anyone caught would
be arrested. The sheriffs de
partment posted a no trespas
sing sign.
The courthouse expansion,
which will include a new jail,
courtrooms and a juvenile de
tention center, is going better
than expected, Elliot said. Con
struction should be completed
in January.

rSo, it would seem, is the situa-
11 am liion with minority faculty at
the top«xas A&M. And now, a local
‘ver. 1 wiBgen is leading an effort to
1 the otiflvince the University to seek
nit numbers to break through
Ve tenure wall.
JThe tenure requirement is

suathtoiB em p|oyee at the state com-

■Oscar the ostrich replaced a
Hple of Dobermans who were
H easily outfoxed by human
■erers.
|H“I used to have a pair of Do-
//Hmans for watchdogs,”
Haynes told The Commercial
Appeal Tuesday. “While I had
he Dobermans, I lost tires,
ivheels and other parts. They
e taken from right under the
gs’ noses.”
fHaypes, owner of a 25-acre
|omobile salvage yard in
th Mississippi, said his in
fest in exotic animals led him
(Oscar.
|“I was at an animal auction in
rrville, and people were walk-
ig along these pens where they
the ostriches. The people
;pt getting way over to the side
i they wouldn’t get pecked.
r ou could tell they were bird-
ly. I said, ‘Hell, that’s what we
ieed in the junkyard.’”
iHaynes paid $400 for Oscar,
nought him to Lambert and set
lim free inside the fenced sal
vage yard.
political science was not granted
tenure this year, she said.
According to Dr. Ruth Schaf
fer, professor of sociology,
Huey L. Perry was unable to
meet the tenure requirements
because of time spent trying to
help minority students.
Dr. Clinton Phillips, dean of
faculties, said Perry was not de
nied tenure on the basis of race.
Perry was one of a very few
minority faculty members at
Texas A&M — so few that his
loss is significant. While loss of
tenure is common throughout
the University, Schaffer said, it
doesn’t significantly reduce the
number of non-minority faculty
members because they are pre
sent in greater numbers.

guarded
Oscar
“In the past, we’ve had
thousands of dollars worth of
stuff stolen from the yard,”
Haynes said. “Once, they broke
into my building and got $5,200
out of the safe. But since Oscar
has been out there, we haven’t
lost a thing.”
There’s one drawback to hav
ing a guard bird at his business
— the employees are just as
frightened as the thieves.

“QUALITY FIRST”
prove have prompted the estab
lishment of the tough tenure re
quirements. Schaffer said facul
ty members have a six-year
period in which to accomplish
certain goals in the areas of
teaching, research and service.
So Jefferson’s aim is to con
vince the University to recruit
minority faculty who can meet
the requirements.
“The only thing we can do is
sit down and talk,” Jefferson
said. “I think once you have
open communication, then that
starts to open the door.”
Another possibility Jefferson
spoke of would be for Texas
A&M to hire minority counse
lors who could help students
and take some of the load off
professors.
Jefferson said she and others
have been talking with several
Texas A&M administrators ab
out the issue, including the pres
ident, chancellor and the dean
of faculties.
