Bob Wiatt, director of security and traffic at A&M, will be the key note speaker. The program, “Rape: An Act of Violence,” will be at 7 p.m. in 231 Memorial Student Center. It will feature a slide show on rape preven tion and defense. Many people think that rape could never happen to them, Jan Winniford, assistant director of stu dent affairs, said. “We are trying to stress preven tion,” Winniford said. “Many survi vors take an open attitude after they have become victims. This student chose to face the problem, and help others to overcome it, too.” The program will offer security and rape prevention tips. For exam ple, lock your doors, never walk alone at night, walk in well-lit places and report any suspicious activities. “Most safety precautions are com mon sense, but you just need to be reminded of them,” Winniford said. The Department of Student Af fairs will schedule a security pro gram for any organization on or off campus. “We will be more than happy to present a program to sororities or any other student groups,” Winni ford said. In the community, the Brazos County Rape Crisis Center offers tips on how to prevent rape, and what to do if it happens to you.

Tte ence coot after t» United Press International DALLAS — Diamond Shamrock Corp. Chairman William H. Bricker said Monday he was pleased with the recent acquisitions of Sigmor Corp. and Natomas Co. by Diamond, and would consider another takeover to increase oil and gas reserves. Brinker refused to say whether discussions or plans for such a step are underway. He said any acquisi tion would have to be for cash. “We’ve given out enough stock (in other takeovers),” Brinker said. Bricker also said his integrated energy company would consider selling part of a geothermal energy project Diamond Shamrock gained when it bought Natomas. He said Natomas, acquired in Au gust 1983, “so far has exceeded our expectations in terms of every mea surement that we would have wanted to apply.” The aquisition of Natomas gave Diamond Shamrock additional pro duction facilities in Indonesia. Bricker said the Sigmor refining and retail gasoline operations are not pierforming quite as well as he planned. Bricker said wholesale prices of refined products were off about $2 a barrel Irom what had been antic ipated, but retail sales had been bet ter than anticipated. Diamond Shamrock also owns, along with Union Oil Co. of Califor nia, the world’s largest geothermal project, which harnesses steam en ergy in underground reservoirs in northern California. “The future looks good for geo thermal,” Bricker said. “It (the Cali fornia project) also is a ready source of cash if we wanted to do something with it. I guess if the right opportu nity came along we might sell a little piece of it to get cash to use to do something else.” Sketchbook preview Photob y mikesanchez Ray Evans, left, an artist who travels the world recording Ken Odom, center, from the Woodlands, and Mike Flores what he sees with watercolors, pencils and pens, presents one from Harlingen.

GOP chief says Texas budgets to bring taxes United Press International AUSTIN — The chairman of the Texas Republican Party said Mon day the Democrats in charge of state government are submitting “gold- plated budgets” that eventually will lead to the initiation of a state in come tax. GOP chief George Strake singled out the 1986-1987 budget proposals submitted by Land Commissioner Garry Mauro and Agriculture Com missioner Jim Hightower as exam ples of “a state spending binge.” Mauro immediately dismissed Strake’s attack as a “headline-grab bing” effort, while a spokesman for Hightower said that Strake knows nothing about the operation of state government. Strake criticized Mauro’s request for a 47 percent budget increase in cluding f63 new employees, 31 four- wheel drive vehicles and four boats. He said Hightower’s purchase of an airplane, request for 64 new vehi cles and high priority proposal for a personal salary increase were simi larly excessive. “We have a state spending binge going on here in Austin in epidemic proportions, and if we do not bring it to the attention of the taxpayer now, in my opinion, the Texas tax payers will be faced with a state in come tax in the next five to 10 years,” Strake said at a news confer ence. Mauro said the additional reve nue he requested would enable the General Land Office to increase its audits and inspections of oil wells on the state’s 20 million acres of public land. “Last year, we had a $7.8 million budget and deposited in school and general revenue funds over $400 million,” Mauro said. r is to pill; L” he sail ers willffi ear of I >' a theirefc orker, i ur, will r* There »i n the ties ive a hat" profit si® •xpectedf r job seffl 7 worktE >rity. jUilllllU V Pizzaworks J It’sTwosday!
