Gonzalo Barrien tos, D-Austin. “It’s my intent to save someone from suffering or dying or suffering permanent injury.” Barrientos is sponsoring a bill that would increase penalties for hazing by students and expand anti-hazing laws to cover alumni. Testifying before the Senate Edu cation Committee, University of Texas student Scott Cobb reminded lawmakers that Texas A&M cadet Bruce Goodrich, 20, died last sum mer after being forced to do rigor ous “motivational exercises.” “Texas A&M foisted all the blame for Goodrich’s death on the three ju niors who actually conducted the hazing,” Cobb said. “The real fault lies not with the students carrying on tradition, though; it lies with the sys- tnt tern that told them everyone did it and everyone has always done it. “It lies with the system that treats hazing as the games of schoolboys and not as the crimes of adults.” Since 1968, he said, five students have died in Texas from hazing. The bill defines as hazing activ ities subjecting a student to physical brutality or extreme mental stress or requiring him to break the law. Hazing would be punishable by a $500 to $1,000 fine, 90 to 180 days in jail or both. If injury results, the maximum punishment would be a $5,000 fine and a year in jail. If a student dies, the penalty would be up to a $10,000 fine and two years in jail. Current law calls for a $50 to $250 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Barrientos’ bill would send “a strong signal to the fraternities and the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M that they will have to change or face the possibility of joining a new fra ternity at the county jail,”C Sen. Kent Caperton, questioned whether the b was sent to a subcommiiitf study, is needed. “We don’t want tooverreaul lalively,” he said. “What wedm we overreact is we catch upil things that aren't really enme make them criminal. “The problem is when om munities tolerate hazing.

Eller (continued from page 1) up a little fat. The state once had an abundance of income, but now it’s time to take a more stringent ap proach to spending.” Eller said he thinks all areas of state government, including public universities, can benefit from the budget cutbacks by becoming more efficient. However, he said he doesn’t want to see A&M’s talent pool reduced be cause of the cuts. “Talent is our best asset, both in students and faculty,” he said. “I be lieve the fat could be trimmed, but not at the risk of cutting off our nose to spite our face. The approach can’t be so stringent that it affects faculty recruitment, research or A&M’s con tributions to the state.” He said, for example, that A&M should “co-venture with other schools, such as the University of Houston, to attract the greats (schol ars and researchers).” Eller, a 1959 A&M graduate who founded Granada Corporation and American National Petroleum Com pany, said he plans to continue run ning Texas A&rM like a business be cause “that’s all I know.” I that he also wants to see Umi’ programs expanded.

HO Deposits on (continued from page 1) Tenants must give a written move-out notice and a forwarding address to receive the deposit, said Alex Walter, an A&M student legal counselor. Once written notice has been given, the management has 30 days after the move-out date to refund the deposit, Walter said. If a security deposit has not been returned by that time, you can re cover the deposit through other le gal avenues. If money is retained from a secu rity deposit for repairs, an itemized list of the repairs and their costs epa must he included and forwarded to the resident, Walter said. On-campus students also must give notice if they plan to get their room deposits back. On-campus students who will not be returning to the dormitories for the fall semester have until June 1 to notify housing services, said Tom Murray, housing services supervisor. If notice is not given, the student forfeits the deposit in the same way an apartment tenant forfeits his de posit, Murray said. Graduating seniors also can re ceive a refund of the prop posit upon written request Requests can be mailed toikl cal office or delivered to the Building. The deposit will be to the student 30 days after lion. For students planningto A&M next fall, application! hook-up service are available the local utility companies an! phone company.

Mark White on Wednesday wound up a three-day trip to Central Amer ica that has focused attention on growing U.S. national guard train ing exercises in the region. White spent the day in a jeep rat tling down a dusty road in the re mote Azuero Pensinsula southwest of Panama City as the guest of guard units in the Blazing Trails engi neering exercises. The guard troops in Panama, soon to include a small contingent of Texans, this year are finishing a 26- mile road through begun last year. The road will be used by villagers to get their goods to the nearest naviga ble river to take them to market. The Blazing Trail exercise is one of two missions inovlving guardsmen in Central America this year. Earlier in his trip, White visited a Texas National Guard group camped in Honduras, at a base ap propriately dubbed The Alamo, three miles from the Nicaraguan border in joint Honduran-U.S. Big Pine III military exercises. The governor’s decision to allow the Texans to participate in the exercises has been controversial, and he said that the primary reason for his trip was to insure the safety of the troops. “I think that the security is greater than I had even requested so I think it’s a much better mission because of the precautions that have been taken,” White said. Guardsmen have only been train ing in Central America since 1983, said John Smith, chief of public in formation for the U.S. Am) |?^ tional Guard. Smith said thattoi ' nearly 13,000 guardsmen 1E trained in Panama and Honik “ 10,000 of them this year. The training comes at a tirae^ tensified concern about the situation in the region.
