“Could you guys figure out some other way to

United Press International
IRVING — Officials of a posh
Dallas area hotel said Michael Jack-
son made too much money to justify
cutting room rates for him and his
touring entourage.
Jackson, his musicians and family
wanted discounts on a $l,000-a-
night suite and a floor of rooms. But
the Mandalay Four Seasons Hotel in
Las Colinas, located between Dallas
and Fort Worth, turned him away.
“The guy makes millions of dol
lars, and he’s trying to negotiate
room rates,” said Alan Battersby,
spokesman for the hotel. “It’s ridicu
lous.”
Officials said the Jacksons wanted
to knock off $4,500 from the rooms
for the two-day stay.
“Everybody is looking for a deal,”
said Battersby. “But we (Mandalay
management) agreed not to come
off the rate.
“We’re at a point where we don’t
need to discount. Besides, we
couldn’t guarantee that our other
guests would have a positive experi
ence with all the (Jackson) groupies.”
The hotel has been the host to a
number of rock performers, includ
ing David Bowie, the Police and Neil
Diamond, and ardent fans have
“shocked” other guests, he said..

More than a year after his nomi
nation to participate, Texas A&M
University Police Chief Elmer
Schneider Jr. will attend his first
class Monday at what a former FBI
agent has referred to as the “West
Point of of law enforcement”: the
FBI National Academy in Quantico,
Va.
“For a person who is in career law
enforcement, this is a great opportu
nity,” Schneider said in a recent in
terview.
Schneider is the first officer from
the University Police Department to
attend the National Academy’s rig
orous 11-week training program.
Other area graduates include the
Democratic nominee for Brazos
County Sherrif, Howard Hill, five
Bryan Police officers and four Col
lege Station Police officers.
In 1972, Bryan Police Chief
Charles Phelps became the first offi
cer from a surrounding 14-county
area to attend the National Aca
demy.
Only 200 officers are allowed to
attend each of the four yearly train
ing sessions. Law enforcement agen
cies from all over the world, such as
Scotland Yard, are represented at
the program.
The course emphasizes leadership
training and, currently, one out of
every six National Academy grad
uates is the head of a department.
The entrance standards are tough
and the waiting list is so long that
candidates can expect to wait for at
least a year to get in.
Officers who wish to attend the
National Academy must be nomi
nated by a department head and an
FBI agent. If the candidate is the de
partment head, he can be sponsored
by the mayor or city manager, or he
can nominate himself.
After being nominated, the candi
date is investigated by the FBI. A
doctor must also certify that the can
didate is in good physical condition
and can withstand extended physical
stress.
Other requirements include a “se
rious commitment to law enforce
ment as a public service,” five years
of law enforcement experience and
a high school diploma or equivalency
certificate.
Candidates who meet the stan
dards are formally invited to partici
pate in the training program.
Before retiring from the FBI in
1980, Bob Wiatt, director of security
and traffic for the University Police
Department and a former FBI
agent, sponsored every area police
officer who attended the National
Academy. Since his retirement,
three College Station police officers
have attended the classes.
Wiatt sponsored Schneider, and
has also nominated for the program
two other University Police officers,
Maj. Mike Ragan, assistant police
chief, and Maj. Jack Bruce, assistant
director of special services.
Wiatt said that although it is not a
requirement, most of the National
Academy candidates are “near the
top of the management ladder.”
“You have to train constantly in
law enforcement,” Wiatt said in an
interview Tuesday. “This is the epit
ome of training. The FBI Academy
is the best because it’s constantly up
dating its classes,” he said.
“For people in management, it’s
the icing on the cake.”
Schneider came to Texas A&M as
an agricultural education major in
1967. He was hired by the University
Police Department as a part-time
dispatcher in 1970 and worked his
way up through the ranks to become
assistant police chief.
His enjoyment- in v/orking with
the University community for a time
overshadowed Schneider’s academic
career, but he found time to com
plete his degree in 1977. He became
Chief of the University Police De
partment in February 1983.
In March 1983, Wiatt nominated
Schneider to attend the National
Academy.
Schneider says he is looking for
ward to learning new management
techniques and that he wants to
bring back ideas and information on
crime prevention.
“In terms of applying what I learn
to Texas A&M, I hope this training
will enable me to benefit new offi
cers’ personal development,”
Schneider said.
“This is a great opportunity to
share ideas and experiences with
other people in law enforcement.”
The National Academy stresses
leadership training in police work,
but students also must take a variety
of classes in behavioral science, fo
rensic science, law, sociology, psy
chology, criminology, political sci
ence, education and communication.
Schneider will graduate from the
National Academy on Sept. 14.
