were increased to 10 percent at
A&M and 20 percent at UT — a to
tal of 30 percent of the PUF’s value.
The total bonding capacity had been
20 percent.
•A $100 million Education Assis
tance Fund from general revenues
was established for use by 26 state
universities not included in the PUF.
System officials at A&M and UT
are cautiously approaching the
changes brought about by Proposi
tion 2.
“We have not begun to use PUF
bond proceeds for any new pur
pose,” says Bill Wasson, A&M Sys
tem vice chancellor and comptroller.
AUF money first is used to pay
maturing PUF bonds and the re
mainder is allocated for academic
enrichment or support programs,
Wasson says. While more of the PUF
now can be used as collateral by
A&M, the amount of AUF money
that A&M receives to pay off PUF
bonds has not increased. Currently,
about a fourth of the AUF at A&M is
used for debt service on PUF bonds.
Because of the danger of tying up
too great a percentage of the AUF
money in debt service payments, the
System has no intention of getting
close to the increased bonding rate,
he says.
The AUF was intended for im
proving academic excellence, not for
building and equipment appropia-
tions, Wasson says. Although the in
crease in bonding capacity allows the
System to fund more projects, he
says, the System will expand its use
cautiously.
PUF funds still may not be used
for auxiliary enterprises such as the
bookstore or the Athletic Depart
ment, but are available for research
or faculty salaries, Wasson says.
Michael Patrick, UT system exec
utive vice chancellor for asset man
agement, echoes the cautious ap
praisal of Proposition 2’s changes.
Although the proposition allows
the UT system to use the money on
all of its 14 campuses now, Patrick
says, “our behavior, to date, has been
unchanged.” It will take several

The UT system Board of Regents
still approve each building project —
the only change is that more of the
system schools will be eligible to use
PUF bonds, Patrick says.
The board is developing a multi
year spending plan for the whole
system which will be reviewed after
five years, he says. The system is tak
ing a flexible approach to alloca
tions, but is giving preference to the

model, rust-colored Datsun 280ZX
“that looked kind of beat up.”
Dockery said he explained to
Murray that he normally did not en
ter into such agreements with pri
vate parties and that his rates “were
not good,” but that the football
player said he nonetheless wanted to
lease the car, valued at $21,000.
“I didn’t ask him that,” Dockery
said. “I didn’t see it as my place to
ask him that.”
high-growth schools — UT San An
tonio, UT Tyler, UT Dallas and UT
Arlington. The main campus in Aus
tin still will be given first priority,
Patrick says.
Proposition 2 has brought a new
level of intense scrutiny of the sys
tem’s management capabilities, he
says. ,
“We are beginning to recognize
that there are resource limitations,"
Patrick says.
Wasson agreed that the increase
in bond proceeds forces the A&M
System to more carefully manage
the PUF money. The System is dis
cussing a multi-year plan which tries
to balance the needs of all parts of
the system. A $1 million land acqui
sition program at Tarleton State
University is the first major project
to be approved by the regents, he
says.
Proposition 2 has improved the
relationship between PUF schools
and non-PUF institutions, Wasson
says.
“It has started to remove the bar
rier between the ‘haves’ and the
‘have nots,’ ” Wasson says.
Dockery’s lawyer, Jerry Don
Lastelick, said an NCAA investigator
questioned Dockery last week for
more than four hours about his
relationship with Murray and also
examined banking and other per
sonal records maintained by Dock
ery. .
The 36-month lease at S749 a
month was terminated after eight
months when Murray said he could
not drive the car because of a frac
tured ankle suffered during the
A&M-Arkansas State game last year,
Dockery said.
“We showed them every check,”
Dockery said.
Dockery and his attorney said re
constructing bank records of Mur
ray’s employment were difficult,
however, oecause Dockery’s compa
nies were victimized by an embez
zlement by one of the firm’s former
controllers.
He said that Murray received
checks about every three or four
weeks, rather than in a lump-sum
payment.
“He (Murray) came to our con
troller and asked him if he would be
kind enough to defray paying him
all of his money at one time,” he
said. “In other words, as he worked
and built up his money —since he
had a problem spending money
when he got it — he wanted us to
send him a check every few weeks.”
At about the same time, Dockery
said, Murray learned his new em
ployer operated a car leasing busi
ness, Pelco Inc., and inquired about
In the WFAA-TV report last
month, Hopkins said checks paid to
Murray were handled differently
than normal transactions.
As part of her job, she kept a jour
nal ot processed checks. Ho pk ins
said. In November of 1983, she dis
covered one was missing and went to
her supervisor, who claimed he
didn’t know where it was, she said.
But 2 Vi weeks later, she saw on
the supervisor’s desk a copy of the
check that was missing, she said.
“It was to Kevin Murray, and it
was for $300," Hopkins said. The su
pervisor told Hopkins, “You never
saw it.”
After that, she periodically en
countered checks that were gone,
but she said she was told, “Don’t
worry about it.”
Later, during the summer of
1984, she was instructed to begin
writing checks to Murray, Hopkins
said.
“Every now and then I would get
a note to make a check out to Kevin
Murray for $300 — no address, no
nothing,” she said.
She said no copies were kept and
the drafts “just vanished.”
‘Palestinians are people too’

tween legitimate resistance, like Pal
estinians under military occupation
(in the West Bank) and terrorism,”
he said.
Hussaini said Israel is a “military
superpower” because of the $4 bil
lion pumped into Israel every year
by the United States.
“The U.S. should not always be
verly involved in military affairs,
God didn’t mean tor Israel to be
armed with F-15s and F-16s.”
he said. “Arming Israel to the teeth
has made it militarily superior to the
combined Arab forces.
“That breeds the politics of mili
tary power, the arrogance of power.
Hussaini said today’s Palestinian is
in a period of transition and waiting.
“Israel will be destroyed, it will not
remain a niilitarian Spartan,” he
said. “Israel is segregated from the
rest of the Middle East, they are un
willing to cooperate with the people
around them.”
Hussaini emphasized that he
thought all Middle Eastern religions
could live together in peace. But
Hussaini warned that it could not
happen with a Zionist Israel in exis
tence.
Hussaini insisted that Israel was a
threat to all Arab nations until there
was a military balance in the Middle
East.

“Every Israeli is carrying a gun in
Israel,” Hussaini said. “Can you

But Hussaini said the Palestinians
would achieve power in the Middle

“The American people should not
