s Fall of ‘85 I first met Sharon. There was never enough time
with classes and organization meetings and studying and foot
ball and Sharon. That Fall was Jackie Sherrill s first great
team. Sharon and I would sit up in the stands and just go craz
y with excitement. Yeah, the Fell of ‘85. Sharon had long hair
then^od, she was beautiful and, sometimes, when she'd be wa
Iking away from me in the Student Center to go to class l‘d be
watching her and I thought my heart would break. In the eveni
ngs we‘d go down to Doubledave s and have pizze,drink a coupl
e of beers out of those frosted Mason jars they had and Sharon
would tell me about her problems or I would tell her about my
childhood. But pretty soon we’d have to go study or make a me
eting. There was never enough lime.
I remember the Saturday of the Baylor game Sharon and I
went to the game with Me Cready and that bunch. After the Ag
gies wiped out the Bears, we headed over to DoubleDave s. We
ate 4 large pizzas and drank about a keg of beer.
Sharon looked extra-beautiful that day. She was wearing her
Aggie sweater that looked so great with her blond hair. She
sat across the booth from me and just smiled at me all after
noon.
Fall of ’85. Sometimes that Fall- I don't know, it was too
much- Sheron,the great Aggie team, thethe pizza, the beer, I
was doing great in school, and Sharon-it was too much. Fall of
'85. It was a great time. I ll never forget it as long as I live.

Strike
Pilots fail to resolve dispute
with Continental Airlines
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Union leaders
who represent striking Continental
Airlines pilots voted in Washington
Sunday not to end their 2-year-old
strike against the Houston-based
carrier, officials said.
Ron Kurtz, an Air Line Pilots As
sociation spokesman in Houston,
said Sunday that ALPA leaders ad
journed a meeting after a resolution
to end the strike railed by a majority
vote.
“They will convene in Washington
on Monday at 9 a.m. (EDT),” he
added. “The strike is still on.”
That report came hours after
Continental Airlines spokesman
Mike Cinelli said ALPA had in
formed them the strike was going to
end, although not specifying a time.
“That’s blatantly false,” countered
Pete Lappin, vice chairman of AL-
PA’s Master Executive Council in
Washington. “We checked with the
people who supposedly told them
that, and it’s just not true.”
The union last week said striking
pilots could return to their jobs for
“strategic and humanitarian rea
sons” but said that the strike hadn’t
ended.
Cinelli said striking pilots who
wanted to return to duty could re
turn as vacancies arose, pending a
review of their flight qualifications
and completion of retraining.
ALPA members walked out Oct.
1, 1983, one week after the carrier
filed for protection from its cred
itors under federal bankruptcy laws,
slashed wages by up to 50 percent
and cut its workforce by two-thirds.
Continental employs 1,600 pilots,
including 600 who flew for the car
rier before the strike, officials said.
Striking pilots have been perma
nently replaced with experienced pi
lots.
Last week, ALPA officials said al
lowing the remaining 1,450 pilots on
strike to bid for their old jobs would
accomplish ALPA’s goal of “getting
and preservingjobs.”
But Continental said in a release
Sunday that an end to the strike
would mean “senior pilots who did
not request reinstatement may now
have to wait several years to return
to Continental instead of possibly re
turning earlier had the union lead
ership not misled them into thinking
the strike would last much longer.”
A group of working Continental
pilots announced Aug. 26 that more
than 90 percent of the carrier’s pilots
had signed a petition asking ALPA
be removed as their official bargain
ing agent.
The Union of Flight Attendants
and the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers
had also walked off their jobs, but
ended the strike last April, saying
they would seek to resolve their dif
ferences with the airline in court.
A federal bankruptcy judge last
year gave Continental permission to
abrogate pre-petition contracts with
the two unions, saying they would be
“burdensome to any successful reor
ganization by Continental.”
Pot of North Texas Red
wins 1985 Chilympiad
Associated Press
SAN MARCOS — A pot of North
Texas Red cooked up by a Mesquite
man was judged the best of 403 caul
drons of the spicy concoction at the
1985 Republic of Texas Chilympiad.
Tom Tyler won the title of best
chili cook in Texas, while Harvey
West of Plano, the defending cham
pion, settled for second place with
his brand, called Chili Magic.
Thousands of people converged
on the festival site, cooling off their
sampling of the hot entries with cold
beer.
“We don’t stand a chance of get
ting in the top 200, so we may as well
make it hot enough,” said Pat Kelly,
of Austin, as he dumped ingredients
into his chili sauce. In went the chili
powder, black pepper, — “Some
cayenne to give it whoomph” — and
a can of Miller beer.
“It took six weeks to gather
enough rat traks to make this chili,”
said Gary Cooper of Houston.
“That is the secret ingredient we
use — rat trak,” said Bill Green, the
chili’s namesake.
Saturday was the climax of the
four-day fling, which ended Sunday
at the grounds of the Hays County
Civic Center south of San Marcos.
Money raised from the Chilympiad,
which includes arts and crafts sales
and concerts, will be used for local
charities.

PUC luxury travel costly for taxpayers
Associated Press
DALLAS — Top officials of the
Public Utility Commission have
taken advantage of loopholes in state
travel policies to treat themselves to
expensive hotels, costly meals and
expenses that were not documented
with receipts, According to a pub
lished report.
The Dallas Times Herald re
ported Sunday that in the past year,
commission officials have used their
state travel privileges to make side
trips to New Orleans, go to a resort
in Palm Springs, Calif., and take nu
merous $30 cab rides to expensive
restaurants.
The expenses come at a time of a
state budget crunch and when the
PUC is under political pressure to
keep utility rates low. The commis
sion in a recent rate case prohibited
electric company executives from
charging ratepayers for expenses
similar to those filed on PUC ex
pense accounts.
The period of travel examined
was during the tenure of former Ex
ecutive Director Jay Stewart.
His employment with the PUC be
gan in October 1984, when he left a
similar position in Mississippi, and
ended with his resignation earlier
this month to accept a job in San
Francisco.
In his 11 months in Texas, he had
more than $10,000 in personal
travel expenses,_ the Times Herald
reported.
Two PUC commissioners told the
newspaper that the agency wants all
employees and the commissioners to
travel as economically as possible.
“If, in fact, they coulci have done
it cheaper, they were not fulfilling
our policy,” Chairman Phil Ricketts
said.
Commissioner Peggy RossonJ
the PUC may have been “remis
not scrutinizing its executive (
tor’s travel.
Most state employees;
to a daily travel allowance in Jlj|
meals and $55 for lodgineJ
agency heads — and any staffrT
hers traveling with them -G
exempted from those restriction!|
In addition, many of the PUC i
penses billed to taxpayers were
accompanied by receipts, a put P
allowed under state regulations
Volunteers help in Battleship Texas renovation
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Bernard Olive
and a few friends are volunteering
part of their spare time to help
spruce up the rusting Battleship
Texas in time for the state’s sesqui-
centennial celebration next year.
The cost of repairing the ship,
used in two world wars, ranges from
$6 million to $8 million. The state is
picking up part of the tab, with the
rest coming from private donations.
“You hear people say all the time
that somebody should do something,
but when it comes right down to
them personally it’s a different story
Suddenly they’re too busy,” Olive
said.
So in March, Olive and a few
friends from Baytown decided to
give up some of their free time, roll
up their sleeves and make a personal
contribution to history.
Dan Harrison, the battleship’s
captain, says the volunteers have
logged about 500 hours down in the
bilges of the Texas, berthed at San
Jacinto State Park.
“The thing we found out real
3 uick is that in addition to being
irty work, it’s hot,” Olive said.
“Some of these areas haven’t been
opened in years.”
Harrison said the volunteers soon
will begin fixing up the compart
ments on the ship, chippinj ’
paint, clearing rust and putting® '•
coating of rust inhibitor.
“That will stablize the entiresi
then as we want to open newro« (
we can do it with a minimiumoii
fort,” he said.
About 30 percent of the 573f(
27,000-ton warship currently iso) 1
to the public, he said.
