Warren Battalion Reporter Texas A&M departments have until Sept. 26 to pick up or deliver items to the Pur chasing and Storage Building before the surplus property will be auctioned to the public. Auctioneer Art King will auction about $349,000 of merchandise Oct. 1. The sale will start at 9 a.m. at the stor age building on Agronomy Road and will include every thing from calculators to trucks. There will be no mini mum bids and all items will be sold to the highest bidder. Isidore Bienski, assistant manager of the surplus de partment, says he is not really interested in making money, hejust needs to dispose of the property. “A lot of the equipment we have is just excess that the school doesn’t need,” Bienski says. “Some of the items are beyond repair and some would cost too much to have repaired. We need to get rid of all of it.” University departments send merchandise they no longer need to the surplus de partment. Departments also can acquire merchandise from surplus. Bienski says the University started using auctions to dis- f iose of excess property about ive years ago. Sealed bids were used then, but now they’re used only for expen sive items. “The University has a lot more equipment than it did five years ago because it has grown,” Bienski says. “The more property you have to dispose of, the more difficult sealed bids get.” King says Texas A&M uses auctions primarily for econo mical reasons. He says auc- tions put bidders in a competi- tive situation, which usually makes them pay more for items. “The University doesn’t have to tie up personnel,” King says. “Tne auctioneer does most of the paperwork and the checks are cleared by the auctioneering company. The University doesn’t even have to worry about hot checks.” King says the auction will be smaller than others at Texas A&M. There will be 300 to 350 items auctioned. Among those are several typewriters, desks, chairs, tables and vehi cles. “It’s really hard to say what will be for sale because Uni versity departments have un til Sept. 26 to bring in or pick up items,” Bienski says. “Whatever the University wants, comes first.” Fired officer to receive pay United Way campaign starts Monday in Brazos County by Michelle Powe Battalion Statf The 1983 Brazos County Un ited Way campaign kicks off Monday and will last through Nov. 18. The United Way provides funding for 17 agencies in Bra zos County, such as the Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Center, the Brazos County Senior Citizens, the Boys Club of Bryan, the Girls Club of Brazos County and the Red Cross. Texas A&M’s part in the drive is broken into three efforts — the students, the University and the Texas A&M System. Dr. Bryan Cole and Dr. Charles Pinnell are co-chairmen for the Texas A&M drive. Cole, associate dean of education, is in charge of the Texas A&M Uni versity units. Pinnel, associate deputy chancellor for engineer ing, handles the Texas A&M System units on campus, plus the agriculture and engineering colleges and the Texas A&M Re search Foundation. The two colleges and the re search foundation are consi dered extension services and thus part of the Texas A&M System. John Mark Stephenson, pres ident of Student Y, is chairman the involved with some of the prog rams supported by the United Way, such as the the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. Two kick-off breakfasts, Wednesday and Thursday, will mark the start of the Texas A&M campaign. The goals of the University will be announced formally during the breakfasts, which will be held in the Memorial Student Center. The breakfast for the University units will be held at 8 a.m. Wednesday and the breakfast for the system units will be held at 7:15 a.m. Thursday. Last year Texas A&M raised $92,482 for the United Way. The University units raised $50,306, the System raised $38,598 and the students raised $3,577. Texas A&M ranked seventh in the amount donated . United Press International HOUSTON — A judge has ordered reinstatement with back pay for a police lieutenant fired five years ago as part of a conspiracy involving a police cover-up of a shooting of a Louisiana teenager. Paul Dillon, fired in 1978 by then-Police Chief Harry Cald well, a year later was cleared of any wrong doing in the shooting death of Randall Alan Webster, 17, of Shreveport. Webster was shot by police in February 1977 following a high speed chase in a stolen van. Dil lon was the first supervisor to arrive at the scene of the shooting. Dillon and four other officers were fired; a sixth policeman resigned. Only two of the offic ers were convicted in the “throw-down gun” case and were given five-year probated sentences. The term “throw-down gun” refers to a weapon placed on a suspect by police to conceal an unjustified police shooting. Former U.S. District Judge Finis Cowan testified in a hear ing two months ago that there was not a “shred of evidence” to connect Dillon with the shoot ing. Dillon’s lawyer Edward Wil liamson said his client was “rail roaded” and now wishes to re turn to his job as inconspicuous ly as possible. The settlement is worth $165,000 and Dillon is expected to return to work by Oct. 1. Dil lon’s new police assignment was not disclosed.

Texas A&M is home to most students, he says, and because students live here nine to 12 months out of the year, they are considered part of the com munity. He says only 8,000 students live on campus, so the nearly 30,000 who live off campus are part of the community and should show some interest in it. Stephenson also says he hopes students will do more than con tribute money to the campaign.
