Parents give
Brazilian books
toA&M library
By MICHELE FURLONG
Reporter
Mr. and Mrs. Ubi Figueiredo, of
Houston, have recently donated a
collection of 171 Brazilian books to
the Sterling C. Evans Library.
The Figueiredos, natives of Bra
zil, have lived in Houston since 1967
and have two sons attending Texas
A&M. Tab is ajunior electrical engi
neering major, and Ubi is a senior
mechanical engineering major.
“We donated a general collection
of books on Brazil that we had accu
mulated over a number of
years...some are novels, encyclope
dias, school books, books on the
country and history books,” Mr. Fig
ueiredo said.
All of the books that were donated
are written in Portuguese, the lan
guage spoken in Brazil.
“I have come across many Brazil
ian families at A&M, and a majority
do not speak enough English and
may make good use of books written
in their mother language,” he said.
Eleanor Nance, who is in charge
of donations at the library, said the
Figueiredos donated an 18-volume
children's encyclopedia and 153
other books.
“A lot of the books are classics,
some of them are novels and 12 of
them are Tarzan books, which went
to our science fiction special collec
tions,” she said.
Mr. Figueiredo said he was send
ing his son, Ubi, back to school this
weekend with some more books for
the library.
The Figueiredos received a thank
you note from the library, and their
name is now on the library donor list
and it also was in their publication,
The Library Notes.

Prisons get more business
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A survey of
33 states by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics found that state judges sen
tenced eight out of 10,000 people in
the population to prison in 1980 and
the number increased to nine per
10,000 by 1981 — an increase of
12.5 percent, the justice department
said Sunday.
That means many thousands
more people were sent to prison in
1981. In a state with 10 million peo
ple, for example, that would mean
1,000 more prisoners in a single
year.
The bureau said the increase
“represents a substantial growth in
the fraction of the adult population
entering prison,” and is part of an
upward pattern that has been been
evident since 1978.
“A larger segment of the adult
population is experiencing incarcer
ation,” the bureau said.
The survey showed the amount of
time a criminal stays in prison has re
mained about the same in recent
years, even though there have been
changes in sentencing procedures
and a decline in the rate of paroles.
“These data suggest that the re
cord 12.2 percent growth rate in
prison population that occurred in
1981 was more directly related to the
increase in commitment rate from
courts than to other factors such as
sentence length, time served or
changes in parole release policies,”
bureau director Steven Schlesinger
said.
The survey, which drew responses
from 33 states, showed 121,211 of
fenders admitted to prison in 1981
and 101,943 released. There are
about 435,000 people in prisons na
tionwide.
The bureau also said the propor
tion of black prisoners rose from
about a quarter of the state prison
population in 1926 to a third by
1960 and almost 44 percent by 1981.
“Blacks represent a growing frac
tion of all admissions,” the bureau
said. Blacks are about 12 percent of
the total U.S. population.
The survey showed these other
statistics:
—Half of all murderers released
from state prisons in 1981 had
served little more than five years.
“About two-thirds of the murderers
released served seven years or less.
Approximately one of every seven
murderers served more than 10
years.”
—“Manslaughter offenders
served a median term of 25 months.
About one in five served 12 months
or less.”
—Of 840 offenders sentenced to
life in prison, half were out in seven
years or less.
I KAMI!-TV to receive teleprompter
By KIM JENSEN
Reporter
KAMU-TV soon will have a tele
prompter to aid in the production of
newscasts and to help students get
practical newsroom experience.
The University-operated station
has been plagued with delays in re
ceiving the teleprompter, Sheila De
trick, KAMU news director, said.
The unit was ordered last spring but
had to be sent back when it arrived
this summer missing a part. Detrick
said she expects the equipment to ar
rive any day.
A teleprompter is an electronic
script roller with a screen that is at
tached to a camera.
Newspeople can read script copy
from the screen — alleviating dis
tractions to the viewer. The tele
prompter can be operated by a foot
pedal or a hand roller, depending
on the newsperson’s preference.
“I have never worked without a
teleprompter before,” Detrick, who
is also KAMU’s anchorwoman, said.
She said KAMU might be the last
station in the state to get this kind of
equipment.
