PHI ETA SIGMA NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: National Scholarship deadline for graduating Phi Eta Si^ma seniors is Feb. 23. See Dr. Curtis Lard in 113 Systems Building for details. Innocent Angel? Dallas Guardian Angels say member's arrest is harrassmen United Press International DALLAS — An 18-year-old Guardian Angel sits in the Dallas County jail, charged in a $3 rob bery that group leaders say he did not commit and one they say police are using in an attempt to discredit the Angels. Floyd Aaron was arrested Nov. 11, 1983, on a city bus. Police say he robbed a city em ployee three nights earlier after she got off that same bus. They say he followed her from the bus stop, put a knife to her back, ordered her to drop her purse and ran off with it. The purse contained $3. Aaron, who has been in jail since his arrest, says he is inno cent. It is a claim echoed by Angel leaders in both Dallas and New York, where the group of crime Fighters was organized in 1979. “There’s no way he could have been at the bus stop,” said Dallas chapter leader Ron Hart man. “I know he didn’t commit the crime. “This lady is being pushed into convicting a guy who didn’t do it,” Hartman said. “The city of Dallas is pushing. There’s no thing they’d like more than to get a Guardian Angel.” The Angels are not on good terms with the city or its police department. Hartman said Police Chief Billy Prince has re fused repeated invitations to meet with Angel leaders. “He says he don’t think the Angels can do anything to help,” Hartman said. Prince refused to comment on the Angels or on the Aaron case. “We don’t have an attitude ab out them,” said department spokesman Bill David. But Angel co-founder Curtis Sliwa said that is a whitewash, that Dallas police see the Angels as a threat and are trying to dis credit them through Aaron’s robbery case. “No one in the criminal justice system is willing to recognize that this is an innocent man,” Sli- wa said. Aaron ‘‘is being squeezed. He’s a pawn. I think the community, the police, for want of something better, aren’t going to let him off.” “It’s no secret that there has been a strong dislike among the top leaders of the Dallas police department of the Guardian Angels,” said Lisa Sliwa, Sliwa’s wife and co-founder of the Angels. The Angels have had prob lems with other police depart ments. “In the course of our history here in New York City, we’ve had more than 200 arrests,” Ms. Sliwa said. “Those were things mainly the result of police harassment. I was arrested my self for trespassing on a subway car, but there were no Fines. We were innocent, and they always ended up dropping the charges.” Sliwa said New York transit police literally started a donnyb- rook to set up arrests they hoped would embarrass the Angels. Despite those arrests, Sliwa said Aaron is the First Angel to be arrested nd indicted on a felony charge. Friction between police and Angels reached a fever pitch in Newark, N.J., in late December 1981 when a police ofFicer shot and killed an Angel, Frank Melvin. Melvin was deadonai a local hospital "They had heard reports of a break-in,” Ms. Sliwa said. “As they were walking down the street, Frank was in the lead of a line of nine Angels.” A police officer yelled for Frank to identify himself. The ofFicer had his gun drawn. “Frank put his hands in the air and said, ‘I’m Frank Melvin of the Dayton Patrol.’” Ms. Sliwa said. “After that, the officer went down into a horse stance and Fired once, striking him in the chest.” Aaron’s arrest isanoi of harassment, the Slit tend. “This is another cml Dallas police harassing! her of the blackcommimi in this case happens! Guardian Angel," Ms! said. “There’s a pattenj judice there, and theresij pattern of harassment" Although Aaron i blame Dallas policeforkij (“I feel it was a misjudgi the lady’s part.”), heinsiJ innocent and has an alii! /ol Pennzoil official says merger would hurt smaller companies United Press International TULSA, OKLA. — Federal restrictions on the nation’s largest oil companies would des troy bidding partnerships be tween smaller companies and Getty Oil Co. if Texaco acquires Getty, a Pennzoil official testi- Fied Tuesday. Pennzoil Exploration and Production Co. exploration senior vice president David S. Holland said federal regulations prevent Five oil companies — Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, Stan dard of Calif. (Chevron) and Shell — from bidding together on offshore U.S. leases. Holland was the second wit ness called by Pennzoil before U.S. district Judge James Ellison in its effort to halt the $10.1 bil lion merger, the largest such ac quisition in U.S. corporate his tory. Pennzoil has asked the feder al court to issue a temporary in junction, alleging the merger would violate antitrust laws and damage the oil industry. Pennzoil also has filed a breach of contract suit against Getty in Delaware, claiming Get ty agreed to a stock purchase proposal by Pennzoil, then approved the Texaco offer. Holland said if Getty became part of Texaco, “We would not be able to continue to bid as that group. Areas of mutual interest — speciFically the St. George Basin off Alaska’s coast — already de cided on by Pennzoil, Getty, Chevron and other smaller com panies, would be invalidated should the merger go through because Getty would become Texaco and could not legally bid with Chevron, Holland said. Under cross-examination by Texaco attorney David G. Wet ter, Holland said bidding part ners were not required to bid on any mutual interest tracts and Getty would not be obligated to bid with Pennzoil even if Texaco did not merge with Getty. “You cannot force any com pany to bid when they do not wish to,” he said. However, Holland said, “There is no assumption Getty would not” bid with the group if Texaco were not involved.
