NEW DELHI, India —Sever
al people were injured Monday
when police fired plastic bullets
and tear gas at thousands of
sword-wielding Sikhs who
stormed government offices in
several cities in the northern
state of Punjab, officials said.
The tear-gas bullets were re-
peatly fired to break up a violent
mob of Sikhs which was raiding
the district magistrate’s office in
the Punjab town of Gurudaspur,
310 miles northwest of New
Delhi.
The violence in Punjab
erupted when an estimated
10,000 to 15,000 militant Sikhs,
armed with canes, swords,
spears and other weapons, cut
barbed wire barricades and
attempted to break into the de
puty commisioner’s office in the
Sikh holy city of Amritsar, 280
miles north of New Delhi.
The “large numbers” of Sikhs
across the state also participated
in sit-down strikes to stop local
administrative offices from
functioning, reports the domes
tic news agency Press Trust of
India.
The protests were sponsored
by the militant Akali Dal Party,
which is demanding greater
political and economic auto-
mony for Sikhs, who make up
the majority of the state’s popu
lation.
A separate protest in the east
ern state of Assam brought com
merce and transportation to a
virtual standstill in Spring 1983,
according to reports received by
New Delhi. About 4,000 people
died in this secotid ethnic con
flict .

New Texas laws
to go into effect
United Press International
AUSTIN — Many of 800 new
Texas laws which were
approved by the Texas Legisla
ture in Spring 1983 go into
effect this week.
The Texas bills passed con
cern: making motel roompeep-
ing a crime, requiring re
staurants advertising Jewish
food as “kosher” to serve high
quality meals, and declaring
U.S. Highway 83 a Vietnam
Veterans’ Memorial.
Other laws went into effect
just a few days after Texas legis
lators adjourned on May 30,
while a few stragglers — includ
ing strict new drunk driving
penalties — will not take effect
until January 1, 1984.
In addition to the newly
effective laws, the state begins
operating under a two-year
$30.8 billion budget on Thurs
day — the first day of a new fis
cal year.
Among the laws that take
effect this week, an increase in
unemployment compensation
taxes is probably the one that
hits pocketbooks the hardest.
Some new laws took affect on
Monday, while others will take
affect on Thursday.
Bosses who pay the minimum
per-worker tax — about 70 per
cent of all Texas employers —
will find their taxes have almost
doubled from $62 to $120. The
maximum tax paid by only one
percent of the Texas employers
has greatly increased from $296
to $779 per employee.
Other new laws restrict poli
tical candidates from continuing
to transfer their campaign con
tributions to their personal bank
accounts. A new state ethics
commission has assumed au
thority for watching over the
morals and actions of Texas law
makers.
Further changes in Texas
legislation have made it tougher
for law-breakers to successfully
plead insanity as a defense to
violent crimes. A new law re
stricts the legal definition of in
sanity and requires a trial
judge’s consent for an insane cri
minal to be released from a men
tal hospital.
Habitual criminals — offen
ders with at least two previous
felony convictions — no longer
face mandatory life prison sent
ences. A new law gives juries the
discretion of imposing sentences
ranging from 20 years to 99
years or for life.
Another law that begins this
week establishes a new defini
tion.of rape that declassifies it as
a sexual crime and lists it instead
as assault.
New laws also allow: semi
annual surprise inspections of
nursing homes, videotaped tes
timonies from children involved
in sexual abuse cases, and cri
minal penalties for the sale of
fake “lookalike” drugs.

With theTI'55'II.
What you need to tackle
the higher mathematics of a
science or engineering cur
riculum are more functions —
more functions than a simple
slide-rule calculator has.
Enter the TI-55-II, with
112 powerful functions. You
can work faster and more
accurately with the TI-55-II,
because it’s preprogrammed
to perform complex calcula
tions — like definite integrals,
linear regression and hyper-
bolics — at the touch of a
button. And it can also he
programmed to do repetitive
problems without re-entering
the entire formula.
Included is the Calculator
Decision-Making Sourcebook.
It makes the process of using
the TI-55-II even simpler,
and shows you how to use all
the power of the calculator.

Let a TI-55-II
