Addie Murphy, 82, of Mat
ador was in stable condition at
Central Plains Hospital in Plain-
view with broken bones and
multiple cuts.
A Texas Department of Pub
lic Safety supervisor in Lubbock
said the tornado, estimated to
be a quarter-mile wide and a
mile long, hit Matador.
At least 15 houses were de
stroyed and 13 houses were
damaged. The funnel also de
stroyed a building housing the
town’s high school and elemen
tary school.
Walt Ahrens, executive direc
tor of the Red Cross in Lub
bock, said a team of staff and
volunteers was in the small town
assessing damage and offering
help.
“It looks like somewhere in
the neighborhood of 50 resi
dents received from major to
minor damage with the major
ity having minor damage,” he
said. “We did not have to open
up a shelter last night.”
The town in Motley County
has a population of 1,052 and
got its name from the large
Matador Ranch that operated
in the 19th century.
The storms’ fury was felt
throughout the Dallas area in
the form of pea-sized to egg-
sized hail. Collin County, north
of Dallas, received 3 to 4 inches
of hail. Trees and power lines

while in the Israeli Army so he
could come to the United States
toKludy. But the money ran out
Bner than he expected. He’s

Bar he’s been turned down.
■‘A Texan would prefer to
lire a Texan and an American
would prefer to hire an Ameri

c v an understand that - I’ll just
keep on trying.”
Because his parents are help
ing him, he is able to stay ... for
now.
But some financial help is
available for internationals.
The stale of Texas gives out
10 scholarships per Western
Hemisphere country annually.
These Good Neighbor Schol
arships are given to the most
qualified international students
from colleges and universities
in Texas and covers the cost of
tuition.
This year almost 40 interna
tionals from Texas A&M got a
Good Neighbor Scholarship,
Watkins said.
About 10 percent of the in
ternationals here are on private
sponsorships (usually from
businesses or universities in
their countries), about 8 per
cent are sent by their govern
ment, and the majority, 82 per
cent, are on their own or sent by
their family.
Watkins said many interna
tionals are sent not just by their
parents, but by their whole fam
ily - aunts, uncles and cousins
included.

Late Wednesday, the Na

warm front stretched from a
low pressure center in the
southern Panhandle across
North Texas. Patchy areas of
light fog persisted over much of
north central and northeast
Texas, while showers and light
rain was occurring offshore
along the upper Gulf coast.
