Mayoral primaries
Koch running for third term in New York
Associated Press
New York Mayor Edward 1. Koch
was the overwhelming favorite in a
Democratic primary against five
challengers Tuesday, while Detroit
Mayor Coleman A. Young was ex
pected to handily win a non-partisan
primary in the nation’s sixth-largest
city.
The flamboyant Koch, 61, spent
about $5.5 million, or five times as
much as all his challengers com
bined, as he sought a third consec
utive term.
City Council President Carol Bel
lamy, 43, and Assemblyman Her
man D. Farrell Jr., 53, were the prin
cipal challengers.
They accused Koch of favoring
wealthy constituents and developers
over the poor, while dividing the city
along racial lines. Farrell made edu
cation the central issue ol his cam
paign, while Bellamy focused more
on jobs and housing.
Koch was elected mayor in 1977
after serving four terms in Congress,
and was re-elected by an overwhelm
ing margin in 1981, when he ran on
both the Democratic and Republican
tickets.
Young; 67, Detroit’s first black
mayor, had amassed $2.3 million in
campaign funds for the primary,
which narrows the field of 13 candi
dates to two for the Nov. 5 general
election.
His advertisements touted accom
plishments of his 12 years in office,
including a revived waterfront, a re
vitalized downtown and the hiring of
1,500 police.
His chief opponent, Thomas Bar-
row, claimed the mayor emphasized
downtown development at the ex
pense of neighborhoods plagued by
crime and neglect.
Young, 67, received money and
endorsements from Detroit’s civic,
union and business leaders and
many black residents, who comprise
63 percent of the city’s population.
Snow removal, style and support
for neighborhoods were the issues in
the Buffalo primary, where two-
term incumbent James D. Griffin,
56, faced five challengers.
After a January blizzard, the ma
jority of the city’s streets were not
opened for almost a week.
In Bridgeport, Conn., the state’s
largest city, two-term incumbent Re
publican Leonard S. Paoletta was be
ing challenged by William Sorren-
tino, who has made similar bids in
the past.
Pickens to restructure company
because of soft market conditions
Associated Press
RUIDOSO, N.M. — Independent
oilman T. Boone Pickens says soft
market conditions are behind his de
cision to restructure his Mesa Petro
leum Company of Amarillo to a lim
ited partnership.
“1 don’t see any price increases for
our crude,” the nation’s second-larg
est independent oil operator said.
“As a matter of fact," he said, “I
see-a lower price.”
Pickens, addressing the Indepen
dent Petroleum Association of New
Mexico Monday, predicted the cur
rent soft market for oil and natural
gas would last until the early 1990s.
Those circumstances, combined
with the fact most oil has been dis
covered in the lower 48 states and a
lack of a market for natural gas,
“should force the oil and gas indus
try to restructure," he said.
“I don’t want to see oil and gas go
the same direction,” Pickens said.
Mesa filed a prospectus with the
Securities and Exchange Commis
sion Sept. 3 calling for the reorgani
zation of the company.
If shareholders approve the
change during a meeting in Decem
ber, Mesa’s oil and gas properties
would be transferrea to the part
nership and shareholders would be
come partners.
Pickens said the move is the best
way to share cash flow with stock
holders at a time when it does not
pay to spend money aggressively
seeking new reserves.
Man arrested for helicopter bank robbery
Associated Press
HOUSTON — A 44-year-old
man was arrested Tuesday on
charges alleging he and four others
used a stolen helicopter to swoop
down and rob a rural Texas bank of
520,000, authorities said.
William J. Gross of Houston was
accused of participating in a July 20,
1984, heist at the Valley View Na
tional Bank in the North Texas com
munity of Valley View, FBI agents
said.
U.S. Magistrate George Kelt tem
porarily denied bond and set a de
tention hearing for Friday.
Gross, who is unemployed, was ar
rested after his name was found in
an address book allegedly belonging
to Marvin Rodgers, accused of engi
neering helicopter robberies in
Texas, Louisiana and Nevada,
agents said.
Rodgers was arrested in Houston
last month and later transferred to
Las Vegas, Nev., to be tried in an
Overton, Nev., holdup.
Three others have admitted they
participated in the robberies and are
serving prison terms.
Gross was charged in a federal
complaint with armed bank robbery.

... A Better Alternative
Two and a half years ago, a new tradition was started
here at Texas ASM, Phi Kappa Tau. Now we’re offering
you the chance to be a part of its growth and success.
There are many advantages to a young fraternity, being
younger allows new members a prominent voice in the
direction the fraternity grows, a chance for immediate
leadership and, most importantly, the making of lifelong
friendships. We invite you to meet the brothers of Phi
Kappa Tau during our fall rush so you can experience
first hand what Phi Kappa Tau is all about, or please feel
free to contact me personally for more information.
