Schink named
associate dean
Dr. David Schink, professor of
oceanography, has been named
associate dean for research and
planning for the Colllege of Geos
ciences at Texas A&M University,
announced Dean Melvin Fried
man.
Schink’s appointment, effective
Sept.l, will shift some responsibi

Institutes Inc. and JOIDES (JOI
Deep Earth Sampling).
Merrell will continue to serve as
associate dean, as will Dr. Davis
Fahlquist, who has responsibilities
for academic affairs.
The author of some 30 journal
papers and numerous other re
ports, Schink joined the Texas
A&M faculty in 1972 and was
promoted to full professor in
1976.
A chemical oceanographer, he
earned degrees from Pomona
College in 1952, Scripps Oceano-
graphic Institute in 1953, Stan-
ford University in 1958 and his
Ph.D. from the University of Cali
fornia at San Diego in 1962.
In 1981, Schink — who is re
sponsible for attracting more thap
2.8 million in research to Texas
A&M in the past eight years —was
honored for his work with Distin
guished Faculty Achievement
Award in Research from the As-
sociation of Former Students.
House kills alien
United Press International
amendments
WASHINGTON — Increasingly
restive House members Wednesday
voted down two “killer” amend
ments to a controversial bill in
tended to stem the flow of illegal
aliens across U.S. borders by penaliz
ing employers who hire them.
Losing patience with efforts by
Rep. Edward Roybal, D-Calif., to
scrap sanctions he said would lead
employers to discrimination against
citizens of Hispanic extraction,
members voted 304-120 against his
amendment to replace the employer
penalties with labor laws.
Rejection of the Roybal amend
ment came after the House de
feated, 274-137, one by Rep. Patricia
Schroeder, D-Colo., to end em
ployer sanctions after three years.
Both amendments, strongly sup
ported by Hispanic members, were
attacked by Rep. Romano Mazzoli,
D-Ky., the key House sponsor of the
measure, and Rep. Dan Lungren, R-
Cahf., its leading Republican sup
porter.
Mazzoli said the amendments
were intended to kill the bill by strip
ping it of employer sanctions, which
he said were needed to keep aliens
from continuing to stream across the
border in search of work.
“This is another killer amend
ment,” he said of Roybal’s proposal.
“The gentleman seeks to kill this
bill.”
After the defeat, Roybal declined
to call up an even more far-reaching
amendment to strip all sanctions
from the bill, which also would grant
amnesty to millions of aliens already
illegally in the country.
The House is in the midst of a
scheduled week of debate on the im
migration measure, one of the hot
test and most divisive bills before
Congress this year.
Earlier Wednesday, by a standing
vote of 14-12, the House approved
an earlier amendment by Rep. Ron
ald Coleman, D-Texas, stripping the
bill of criminal penalties — leaving
only civil penalties for violations.
While they urged rejection of the
amendment, neither Mazzoli nor
Rep. Peter Rodino, D-NJ., the floor
manager of the bill, sought a roll call
vote on it.
The sponsors of the bill, which is
slowly moving ahead with Republi
cans providing the decisive votes, ap
parently counted on criminal sanc
tions in a companion Senate-passed
bill being retained if the legislation
reaches a House-Senate conference
committee.
The Coleman amendment elimi
nated a proposed criminal penalty of
up to a $3,000 Fine and a one-year
prison term for repeated violations
by employers in the hiring of illegal
aliens.
It still left intact civil penalties of
$1,000 for each worker hired ille
gally by employers of four or more
people.
Roybal and other Hispanic mem
bers of Congress are bitterly op
posed to such employer sanctions,
saying this will lead employers to dis
criminate against job seekers who
have Hispanic names, speak with an
accent or “look foreign.”
However, they say they support
amnesty for millions of illegal aliens
already in the country.
The number of illegals already in
the United States is not known, but
the Census Bureau has estimated
there are at least 4 million. The Im
migration and Naturalization Serv
ice estimates the number at about 6
million, while other estimates range
to 10 million and even higher.
The Senate-passed version of the
so-called Simpson-Mazzoli bill spon
sored by the Kentucky Democrat
and Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo.,
would grant permanent residence to
most aliens who entered the country
illegally before Jan. 1, 1977, and
temporary residence to those who
came later but before Jan. 1, 1980.
The House version would grant
legal residence to those who came
before 1982.
The employer sanctions are in
tended to discourage more aliens
from crossing the border in search
of work.
The number of illegals already in the United States is
not known, but the Census Bureau has estimated there
are at least 4 million. The Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service estimates the number at about 6 million,
while other estimates range to 10 million and even
higher.

Immigration bill could create ‘administrative nightmare’
United Press International
A U.S. Border Patrol ofFicial
Wednesday said employer sanction
provisions in a pending immigration
reform bill will create an “adminis
trative nightmare” along the Texas-
Mexico border, where alien arrests
are up as much as 33 percent.
Don Coe, assistant chief deputy of
the Border Patrol’s Del Rio sector,
said major personnel increases will
be necessary if Congress passes an
immigration reform bill that in
cludes employer sanctions.
Coe said however, that he gener
ally supports the bill, which grants
amnesty to some aliens and provides
sanctions against American employ
ers who hire illegal aliens.
Coe and John Abriel, deputy dis
trict director of the U.S. immigra
tion and Naturalization Service in
San Antonio, said surveys taken
along the border indicate that some
illegal aliens have been motivated by
pending immigration reform.
“Through the years, there are
some aliens who come again with the
thought in mind to benefit by pen
ding legislation,” Abriel said. “We
believe that, yes, aliens are and can
be motivated with that thought in
mind.”
Abriel said he did not believe the
Simpson-Mazzoli bill would create
great administrative problems.
“The Border Patrol is grossly un
derstaffed and it has been for years,”
he said.
Coe said arrests of illegal aliens in
the Del Rio sector were up 25 per
cent over last year, with 3,261 arrests
since May 1.
Larry Teverbaugh, chief agent of
the Laredo sector, reported even
larger increases.
“Apprehensions this year are
quite a bit more,” he said. “It appears
through the month of May, we’re up
33 percent over a year ago.”
Teverbaugh said 9,111 illegal
aliens were arrested in May. Figures
for March and February showed in
creases of 49 percent and 56 percent
above last year, he said.
“The employer sanction enforce
ment is going to require some adjust
ments in our work,” he said. “We
never feel we have the force we
really need to stop the flow of ille
gals.”
Teverbaugh said he hoped Con
gress will pass pending legislation —
separate from the Simpson-Mazzoli
bill — that provides for more than
800 new Border Patrol agents.
“We’ll need more people if were
going to make it (immigration re
form) work,” he said.

BROWNSVILLE — Like watch
dogs running to the end of their
leashes and being wrenched back by
their necks, police are stopped at the
border while fugitives flit freely back
and forth.
Because it is an international bor
der that divides the Brownsville-
Matamoros, Mexico area, criminals
working on one side of the Rio
Grande may live peacefully and
travel freely on the other.
Asked how police here can get
help catching fugitives from Mat-
amoros, members of the Brownsville
police department, the American
Consulate at Matamoros and the
Cameron County district attorney s
office gave different answers.
To enlist Mexico’s police assis
tance, Brownsville police say the dis
trict attorney’s office must File a re
quest with the American Consulate
in Matamoros to have the fugitive
arrested under the Crimines Extran-
jeros (foreign crimes) statute of
Mexican law.
Brownsville police Lt. Adan
Marks said Mexican authorities then
will charge the fugitive — not with
the crime he is accused of in the
United States but with fleeing to
Mexico after committing a crime.
Members of the American Con
sulate at Matamoros said they would
contact Mexican authorities if police
or the district attorney’s office asked
for help.
“But we really don’t deal in the
pursuit of fugitives,” said Consul
Danny Root. “That’s generally han
dled government to government.”
Root said if police or the district
attorney’s office need help from
Mexican police, they must turn the
matter over to the FBI.
“The FBI uses their own contacts
through the (U.S.) Embassy in Mex
ico City,” Root added.
But suggesting the FBI must be
contacted, the Cameron County dis
trict attorney said, “shows you don’t
know what you’re dealing with.”
While authorities disagree over
procedures, fugitives remain free.
Of three men indicted for capital
murder by the Cameron County
grand jury in recent months, two are
still at large.
Issachar Arias, 21, was indicted on
Nov. 22, 1983, in a robbery-slaying
that occurred on Feb. 15, 1983. Po
lice and the district attorney say they
believe Arias is in MatamorOs.
Enrique Calderoni, 20, was in
dicted last week in the July 11, 1983,
robbery and killing of a retired
Brownsville policeman. Authorities
here say Calderoni also is in Mat
amoros.
The third man indicted for capital
murder, Rogelio Castro Izaguirre,
22, also known as Domingo Lopez
Ochoa, was found guilty and is
awaiting sentencing.
Police said they had nothing to do
with returning Izaguirre, a Mexican
citizen, to Texas for trial.
Hired by a bail bondsman who
said he feared losing a $4,000 bond,
A1 Lopez and Frank Gonzalez, both
of El Paso, disguised themselves as
Mexican police and took their weap
ons across the international border
to get Izaguirre.
Matamoros police said kidnap
ping was the proper term for Iza-
guirre’s disappearance from Mexico.
