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.

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.

grading streets and sidewalks. 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-

The first major project made pos
sible by Proposition 2 is a $39.9 mil
lion engineering complex, approved
by the University of Texas System
Board of Regents at its October
meeting, he says. 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.
