n’t sure aboutthr
the project, says their goal is to
collect about $3,000.
“I don’t know whether we’re
going to get it or not, but we
hope so,” McMaster says. “So
far we’ve collected over
$1,250.”
Five dorms — Hart, Haas,
Underwood, Leggett and Wal
ton — are involved in the pro
ject and eacn dorm has a rep
resentative, he says. The
representatives are responsible
for collecting student claims,
evaluating them and determin
ing whether they deserve re
imbursement.
The claims will be evaluated
based on the extent of damage
and insurance coverage, he
says.
Claims will be reviewed by a
committee Monday, McMaster
says, and the money should be
distributed by spring break.
Grant, who is charge of the
auction for Operation: Mop-
Up, says most of the bikes are in
pretty good shape.
Out of 75 or 80 bikes to be
auctioned, Grant says about 40
of them are in riding condition.
The other 30 or 40, he says, are
good for extra parts or are a
good challenge for the mechan
ically-minded.
The bicycles were donated to
the group by the University Po-
the
lice to help raise money
group’s cause.
The bicycles were im
pounded by the police during
the past year after being aban
doned by their owners.
There is no regulation yet re
garding these abondoned bikes,
but University Police Director
of Security and Traffic Bob
Wiatl says by next fall there will
be.
“What we are exploring right
now is the legality of where bi
cyclists park their bikes and lock
them,” Wiatt says.
Many bicyclists lock their
bikes to handicap ramps and
trees where they are a hin-
derance, he says.

Wearing blue jeans, a gray

T aylor showed no fear as he en

was not sedated, authorities
said. The switch was thrown at
12:09 a.m.
Smoke billowed in the cham
ber and a brief flash of flame
was visible from Taylor’s left
leg. It appeared four jolts of
electricity went through his
body in a span of about one
minute. He was pronounced
dead at 12:16 a.m.

6-foot, 258-pound Taylor said,
“I’ve done a lot of wrong,
caused a lot of hurt. I guess this
is the price I pay for it.
Eight family members, in
cluding his wife Louise, his
mother Ruthie Eatmon and
stepfather Willie Eatmon, vis
ited Taylor for about five hours
Tuesday afternoon. The con
demned man spent the evening
with his sprilual adviser George
Duke and with prison chap
lains.
Taylor’s children, all under
the age of 11, were at home
with relatives.
His youngest sister, Gloria
Taylor, said his letters from
prison were concerned with the
welfare of his children — not
his date with the electric chair.
She said she believed his claims
of innocence.
“He wouldn’t tell a lie,” she
said.
Taylor was the 13th person
executed in the United States
since 1976 when the Supreme
Court lifted its ban on capital
E unishment, and the second in
ouisiana in three months.
Taylor, who did not request a
final meal, was surprised that
the legal maneuverings that had
given some of his death row
comrades numerous stays failed
to work in his case. His execu
tion came one year and one
week after he was jailed at the
state penitentiary.

The governor also said McK
askle had expressed concern
over a recent consultant’s rec
ommendation that prison man
agement' be taken out of the
hands of a single director and
be split into two positions. He
said he assured McKaskle “that
he is the only person in charge
of our prisons."
White, who said McKaskle
“would be perfectly acceptable
to me" as permanent TDC di
rector, refused to say whether
McKaskle had asked to be taken
out of the running for the per
manent position. A search com
mittee is expected to recom
mend a permanent director in
about three months.
McKaskle, a 21-year TDC
veteran who began his career as
a guard, reportedly had been
considering a lucrative employ
ment offer from private busi
ness.
“I have been thinking about
retirement for the past year,”
McKaskle said in a statement
announcing his resignation
early Wednesday.
The announcement was the
latest in a long series of sha
ken ps in TDC, which was in
volved in a lengthy federal
court suit on overcrowding that
was settled in 1982.
