Items for What’s Up should be submitted to The Battalion, 216 Reed McDonald, no less than three days prior to de sired publication date. 4-month investigation leads to crackdown (continued from page 1) dry out at least temporarily,” Stewart said. By 11 :30 p.m. Wednesday, nine suspects lj ac l been appre hended. Some of the suspects were caught while carrying illegal drugs and will also face posses sion charges, Stewart said. There were no significant caches of ille gal drugs found while arrests were made, he said. Steward said at least 50 percent of the suspects will be captured, but hopes between 75 percent and 80 percent will be caught. Out of the captured suspects, about half of them will go to prison, Stewart said. He said to his knowledge no Texas A&M students, faculty or other employees are involved. Stewart said the sweep may help slow the rising amount of il legal drug traffic in Brazos County. The amount of drug tra ffic in the area has tripled over the past three years, he said. “Based on the amount of sei zures that we’ve made, we’ve gone from approximately $13 million in 1982 to over $30 mil lion so far this year,” Stewart said. He said the influx of cocaine to the area has shown the largest in crease when compared to other drugs. Marijuana and metham- phetamine traffic has also in creased, he said. Israelis release PLO tapes (continued from page 1) Tartus Oct. 8, and threw him over board. One hijacker said in a monitored radio conversation with Tartus port authorities on Oct. 8 that they had just killed a passenger by shooting him in the head. State Department spokesmen in Washington said the body had two bullet wounds, one in the head and one in the neck. Barak said of Klinghoffer’s death: “He was chosen by the Jewish sound of his name and dragged against his will to the edge of the ship’s deck. The youngest of the terrorists shot him in the head once or twice.” A cleaning worker and the ship’s hairdresser were forced at gunpoint to push the American’s body over the side and “clean the blood stains off the ship,” Barak said on tele vision. The account was "determined conclusively by the evidence taken from the people on the ship,” Barak said, but aid not elaborate. The seven men charged include the four who took control of the ship for two days, a Palestinian arrested in Genoa before the cruise began there Oct. 3 and two others the pros ecutor described as “fugitives’' but did not identify. News reports in Italy say one of the fugitives is believed to have bought the tickets for the hijackers in Genoa. The other was said to have left the liner in Alexandria, Egypt, the last stop before the hijacking. Prime Minister Bettino Craxi’s co alition, one of the longest-lived Ital ian governments since World War II, split over how the piracy case was handled and appeared ready to fall. Defense Minister Giovanni Spadoli- ni’s Republican Party quit tne 26- month-old Cabinet, angered by Craxi’s refusal to detain Abbas. The hijackers surrendered to Pal estinian negotiators Oct. 9 and were taken into Egyptian custody. Slouch By Jim Earle "Don't think of polishing Sully as simply a polishing job!

President Hosni Mubarak said, he did not know at the time that a pas senger had been killed. Navy F-14s from the aircraft car rier Saratoga intercepted the Egyp- tair Boeing 737 last Friday morning. Italian authorities took the pirates into custody, but Craxi’s govern ment did not stop Abbas from leav ing for Yugoslavia, provoking U.S. outrage and condemnation by Spa- dolini. “Sometimes you just need some thing to attract people’s attention,” he chuckles, throwing a glance at the U.S. 96 traffic rushing past the building. Strolling through a maze of trea sures from brass bird cages and an tique bathtubs to black velvet paint ings, it’s easy to believe the businessman when he says, “I’ve got a little bit of everything out here. Sooner or later, people find just about anything they’re looking for.” From within a homemade build ing resting at the outskirts of Lum- berton, the Corsicana native has op erated “Leyendecker’s Flea Market” for the past two years. “Buy, sell and trade anything Surveying a variety of merchan dise organized in an order only a caretaker could conceive, Leyen decker says his wife, Marie, manages the sales, “while I’m the handyman around here.” pai allet vey a collection of clay pots arranged loarrow, near a rusted wheelbarrow, Leyen decker explains how he obtains mer chandise from sales and auctions “everywhere from Houston to Ala bama,” and from an occasional sale or trade from an area resident.

Reno vations of the education, engi neering and science buildings also are being planned, he says. “Most of what we plan to do would not have been possible with out Proposition 2,” Pierre says. “We could not have caught up without Proposition 2.” The university has developed a 5- year plan to improve the quality of its undergraduate and graduate pro grams, he says. The plan calls for moderate increases in enrollment, bringing facilities up to standard and improving the library, computer and laboratory support facilities. Due to the added income result ing from Proposition 2, the univer sity expects to meet the goals of the plan in five years, Pierre says. W.H. Nedderman, president of the University of Texas at Arlington, also expresses satisfaction with being included under the PUF umbrella. From 1966-1978, UTA was one of 17 state universities that was funded by the state ad valorem tax, a prop erty tax, Nedderman says. “We fared quite well under the ad valorem tax because distribution of the money was made on the basis of need and enrollment projections,” he says. Nedderman added that UTA ac tually received one-eighth of the money during that period. In the late 70s, when the ad val orem tax became unpopular to land owners, the legislature gutted the tax by reducing the rate of taxation to almost zero, he says. “In the 1979, 1981 and 1983 ses sions of the legislature, we couldn’t go to the legislature for a general revenue appropriation because the ad valorem tax amendment was still! a part of the constitution and that prohibited ad valorem tax institu tions from getting general revenue for new construction,” he says. “From 1978-1984, we were one of those (schools) in sort of a no-man’s land for a dedicated source of fund ing for new construction.” This fischl crisis was complicated because enrollment at UTA in creased by 6,000 students during that period, he says. Proposition 2 not only gives UTA a dedicated source of funding for new construction again, Nedderman says, but it also allows the university to use PUF bond proceeds for other projects — major repairs and reno- Problem Pregnancy? we listen, we care, we help Free pregnancy tests concerned counselors Brazos Valley Crisis Pregnancy Service | We re local! 1301 Memorial Dr. 24 hr.

Library enhance ments also are planned. UTA still must present all its pro jects to the board, but Nedderman says he thinks the university will fare well in getting projects approved. But the bond proceeds provision in Proposition 2 excludes UTA from using AUF money for annual bud gets, he says. That is limited to the “flagship university,” UT-Austin. Both officials say they think that Proposition 2 has not hurt the relationship between system schools by initiating unhealthy competition for bond proceeds, but rattier ex pressed confidence in their boards’ abilities to distribute the expanded bond proceeds based on the institu tion’s need and the merits of its pro posal. Tomorrow’s story deals with how Proposition 2 has affected spending at state-supported universities that do not receive PUF money.
