But that flight ended in disaster Tuesday when his single-engine Cessna 152 and a larger private plane collided over a sparsely pop ulated area on the city’s fringes, kill ing him and four others. Federal officials say the planes disintegrated so badly that deter mining the accident’s cause will re quire more than a typical investiga tion, a federal investigator said. “This was not a survivable crash,” J. H. “Sandy” Daugherty II, an in vestigator for the National Trans portation Safety Board, said Tues day night. “Neither aircraft was flyable after impact.” Milke, who lived in the Dallas sub urb of Duncanville, flew out of south Dallas’ Redbird Airport at 1:04 p.m. on a clear, cool day in the rented plane. “He was really excited about going today (Tuesday),” she said. “He was going on his last solo before taking his test” for the pilot’s license. The body of Milke, who moved from Los Angeles eight years ago to open the Milke Manufacturing Jew elry store, was found in the back yard of a home about a mile from the crash site, officials said. Rosewood Corp. President Don Crisp said the larger plane belonged to his company, a Dallas hotel and real estate development firm of the Caroline Hunt Trust Estate, owned by Caroline Hunt Schoellkopf, daughter of legendary oil tycoon, H.L. Hunt, and her family. The plane was en route to Dallas Love Field from New Orleans in clear weather and it was uncertain if the aircraft was under control of the airport’s tower, said Daugherty. Passengers on the larger plane were identified as Susan M. Collins, 31, an oil and gas land manager; Mi chael L. Bootnby, 32, oil and gas production engineer; Jerry Michael Coffer, 34, oil and gas accounting supervisor; and Gordon H. Shattles, 31, chief pilot. Slouch By Jim Ec “You've been covering so much calculus I feel that I mMthtji wrong class. Is this Physical Education 201 or Physics 201;" A&M Physical Plant offices to relocate on west campus By MEG CADIGAN Staff Writer Texas A&M’s Physical Plant will move to the north end of Agron omy Road in early 1987, a Univer sity official said Wednesday. Physical Plant Director Joe Estill said the plant will move to a 133,750-square-foot facility. That’s about half the size of Blocker which is a six story build ing, Estill said. He said the new building will be one story and will house the physi cal plant’s personnel department. accounting department and safety and health division. He said the facility will include welding, plumbing and carpentry shops and radio operations. Estill said the physical plant will move because two plant buildings otherwise would have needed to be rebuilt, due to age and space con siderations. Since it was necessary to keep the physical plant buildings together, and building new structures on the existing physical plant area would eliminate parking, the move be came an economically feasible idea,, Estill said. The Board of Regents approved the move in July 1984. Associate Vice President of Op- erations Jim Ferguson said the total project cost is $6.9 million and is funded by bond proceeds from the Permanent University Fund. Estill said the University will con* tinue to use the buildings housing the University Mail Service and the Facilities Planning and Construc tion department after the move. Demolition of the remaining buildings will be budgeted later, Ferguson said. He said there is probable plan is for a parking facility where the Physical Plant building uA though no final decision bl made as to the type or kkl will be built. “It has been ourimtni l that site and develop it inu l ing structure," Fergusonsa . In order to build thepriij cility, the University niusi:’i its plan to the BoaraofRtpJ approval, he said. Ferguson said the Unn’fl needs and priorities mav A but he hopes a parking fxn be built. Private businesses may offer solution to state prison crisis Associated Press AUSTIN — Private business may be the key to the money and per sonnel crisis that many state prison systems face, representatives of the Southern Legislative Conference were told Wednesday. “I believe it is not a fad; it is here to stay,” Terrell Blodgett, a govern mental research expert at the Uni versity of Texas, told the closing session of the conference’s Fiscal Affairs and Government Organiza tion Committee. Blodgett said Texas was consid ering use of “privatation” in several angles of the state’s overcrowded and costly prison system. J. Floya Glisson, director of a non-profit private corporation that is operating 46 industries in the Florida prison system, said one year’s operation by the private sec tor produced a $2.5 million profit for the state. “We are saving our taxpayers’ money, and we feel the program is very effective,” Glisson said. Both speakers were on a confer ence panel discussing problems of prison systems in the 15 Southern states. Richard Delahoussaye, legislative “We are saving our tax payers 9 money, and we feel the program is very effective^” J. Floyd Glisson, director of a non-profit private corporation that operates prison industries. fiscal analyst of Louisiana, said a survey of 12 Southern states showed their prison systems cost $509 million to operate in 1975-76 and $2.9 billion in 1985-86. The Southern states had an adult prison population of 93,315 in 1975 and 187,291 in 1985. Texas has 37,500 of the inmates, Blodgett said. The 1985 Legislature allocated almost $1 billion for the prison sys tem the next two years, including $125 million to come from the sale of prison land near Houston. The Houston-area land did not sell at one recent land sale but will be of fered again in November. “If this land does not sell, Texas may well be in the first stages of pri vatation,” Blodgett said, “partic ularly in prison construction. Blodgett said some states already are leasing prison buildings from private contractors with an option to buy later. Texas officials and legislators also have received offers for private firms to operate certain prison fa cilities, particularly low-security units. He said the Texas Department of Corrections is considering offers for private firms to provide certain services, such as foixi and health services. „ “There are mixed signals re ceived from some officials and leg islators, Blodgett said. “I guess time will tell." He said Texas also was consid ering private operation of prison industries. Glisson said the 1981 Florida Legislature authorized creation of t|ie Prison and Rehabilitation In dustries and Diversified Enter prises. The non-profit corporation was created with private money and is operated by a board of promi nent Florida businessmen. Companyfcj screen wo:i for AIDS virus | Associated Press !
