An advertising campaign also has
been launched. TV commercials be
gan airing last weekend explaining
the proposition and a series of news
paper ads will begin running by next
week.
Vandiver said he is concerned
that if voters are unaware of what
the amendment entails they auto
matically will vote against it.
Conservative voters, especially
A&M former students, tend to be
against anything having to do with
their “beloved” PUF, he said.
“The reaction I’m getting,” he
said, “is one of either apathy or ap
proval. Enough people don’t know
enough about it.”
Deputy Chancellor Perry Adkin-
son agrees that general voter apathy
is a problem.
“People feel it’s going to pass with
out any opposition,” he said.
Another re SO n voters may vote
against the p^position, Vandiver
said, is that they e afraid it will raise
taxes.
An informatio pamphlet put out
by the EAC says te amendment ac
tually would save ax payers money
in the case of A&M n d UT:
“Twelve units (smller schools in
the A&M and UT sys»ms), many of
which have had to relyjn legislative
appropriations for thi r building
needs, would be addeOto the PUF
endowment. Some of th se are fast-
growth universities, such t s UT-Ar-
lington and UT-San Antoio, which
will require increased tax dollars in
future years if they are noibrought
under the endowment.”
Over the past eight yea s> the
pamphlet says, tax fund expendi
tures for new construction an. ma
jor repairs and rehabilitation l one
have averaged $70 million per y<ti.
Judge delays
girl’s sentence
Slouch
By Jim Earle
United Press International
FORT WORTH — A juvenile
court judge, saying he needed more
time to study alternative rehabilita
tion programs, Wednesday delayed
for the second time sentencing of a
12-year-old girl convicted of shoot
ing her 11-year-old friend to death.
A six-man, six-woman jury Oct.
12 found the Benbrook girl guilty of
delinquent conduct-involuntary
manslaughter in the Aug. 8 shooting
death of Kerry Thomas.
“Because of the variety of place
ment recommendations, it will be
necessary to delay a final decision
for a few days,” Judge Scott Moore
said. “I should think within a week
or 10 days I should be able to com
plete the examination of programs
and other facilities.”
He said the girl will remain at the
i
Tarrant County Juvenile Detention
Center until she is sentenced.
Moore must decide whether to
ive the girl probation and release
er to the custody of her parents,
sentence her to a juvenile detention
center or place her in the custody of
the Texas Youth Council, which
could confine her until she is 18.
The girl told authorities she acci
dentally shot and killed her best
friend while showing off her father’s
shotgun. Prosecutors claimed the
girl Killed Thomas out of jealousy
over the victim’s friendship with the
suspect’s 18-year-old male cousin.
The defendant testified she pan
icked after the shooting and hid the
body under a pile of wood in her
backyard. She said she was silent
about the shooting until four days
later because she feared she would
go to jail.
‘'But we did have a cold front! Didn’t you notice that it
dropped into the 70s last night?”
Youths struggling
with fitness tests
UrUed Press International
Mattox accuses Bell
of keeping rates high
United Press International
AUSTIN — Attorney General
Jim Mattox and four consumer
groups Wednesday accused South
western Bell Telephone of keeping
basic rates as much as 40 percent
higher than necessary by forcing ra
tepayers to subsidize its unregulated
sister companies.
“Frankly, we suspect that South
western Bell is using the monies
from regulated activities to subsidize
its non-regulated profit-making
businesses, such as telephones, mo
bile phones and the Yellow Pages
publications,” said Mattox.
The consumer groups asked the
Public Utility Commission to investi-
be-
gate the financial relationship
tween Bell and the subsidiaries cre
ated since the Jan. 1 divestiture of
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co.
Carol Barger, director of Con
sumers Union, said she believed lo
cal telephone rates could be reduced
by 20 percent to 40 percent if sub
scribers were not forced to subsidize
other Bell subsidiaries.
By allowing ratepayers to subsi
dize its unregulated subsidiaries, she
said Southwestern Bell Corp. “will
then be in a very favorable market
position to sell all their services, gad
gets and whistles which have nothing
to do with basic phone service.”
NEW Y)RK — Only $6 percent
of sch(x>l Ids passed fitness tests the
Amateur /ihletic Union set up as
achievable y average youngsters, a
survey repot said Wednesday.
The rest, bout two out of every
three, were rn able to come up to
the AAU standards set for their sex
and age in ben-knee situps, mod
ified pushups, tanding long jumps,
pullups and sprats.
“In view of tlese test scores, you
w'ould have to siv that the levels of
fitness of Americn youth are some
what below thoe most experts
would regard as dsirable," said Dr.
Wynn F. Updyke, uthor of the re
port. The tests wer taken by more
than 4 million kids, t through 17, in
more than 17,000 schools in 1983
and 1984.
His report, summai/ed in “The
Planters-AAU Fitness Profile of
American Youth,” was'he second in
two days swinging at he nation’s
flabby kids.
A two-year nationwide study of
8,800 in grades 5 ihroiith 12, re
leased Tuesday by Health and Hu
man Services Secretary Ma-garet M.
Heckler in Washington, D.C, said as
many as half of America’s thildren
and adolescents may not lie getting
enough exercise to develop lealthy
cardiorespiratory systems.
Updyke, associate dean for grad
uate studies at Indiana University’s
School of Health, Physical Education
and Recreation, said the 36 percera
who met standards during the pas
year marked a drop from the 43 pet
cent who achieved them in test!
given 1979 through 1982.
“I’m not too concerned aboutth
decrease," he said, “because it proba
bly stems from the fact that soik
7,000 additional schools joined tlit
program since 1982.
"What does trouble me is thecur
rent overall level of fitness, whkl
isn't what it could be.”
Updyke blamed the regressionot
school policies that eliminate cont
pulsory physical education after tht
eighth grade.
He is disturbed by a drop in p
formance at the upper age levelsand
noted that fitness seems to peaks
age 14 and to flatten out or dedim
from that point on, especially amonj
girls.
“Performance should imprott
through the teens," he said, “outi
doesn't in some areas. What lb
means is that Americans are eniei
ing their adult years with a declinini
fitness profile instead of an improv
ing one.
“All teachers and others whoait
working with youth fitness needtlt
support of government, pare®
and communities in general if ihc
are to provide the kinds of program
that can make a real difference it
the lives of young people and, evet
I fare of America.'

Salvadoran rebels resume actions after talks
United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, FI Salvador —
Leftist guerrillas cut a main highway
and blacked out five eastern prov
inces in the first military action since
peace talks with the government,
military sources said Wednesday.
Rebels killed two soldiers and
wounded another in a one-hour fire
fight north of Santa Rosa del Lima,
89 miles east of San Salvador, mili
tary sources in the area said.
The clash came as troops moved
to break up a nearby rebel roadblock
late Tuesday on the Ruta Militar
highway that connects San Miguel,
the country’s third largest city, to the
Honduran border.
Troops from the 3rd military de
tachment and the commando battal
ion of Morazan province patrolled
the highway to prevent new rebel in
cursions, military sources said.
Monday, President Jose Napoleon
Duarte traveled to La Palma, a small
mountain town north of San Salva
dor for historic talks with the Fc^a-
bundo Marti National Liberation
Front, a rebel coalition. The two
sides reached no accord but did
agree to meet again.
Last week the guerrillas threat
ened to mount a nationwide traffic
shutdown beginning today. In the
past, such actions have halted trans
port in the Massachusetts-sized Cen
tral American nation.
In other attacks, rebel saboteurs
