MSC Council amends constitution’s by-laws By CRAIG RENFRO Staff Writer The Memorial Student Center Council Monday night unanimously approved amending the by-laws of the MSC constitution. The amended by-law will switch responsibilities of tne executive vice president for marketing and person nel and the vice president for stu dent development, said Executive Vice President for Administration Robert Hawkins. Under the old constitution the ex ecutive vice president for marketing and personnel was in charge of the awards and awards system study committees, while the vice president for student development was in charge of the nominating commit tee. The rational for the amendment is that the executive vice president for marketing and personnel, as chief personnel officer in the MSC, should be in charge of the nominat ing committee for leadership selec tion, Hawkins said. In other business: • Speakers for the 31st Student Conference on National Affairs, “The Myriad Challenges of the Mid dle East,” were approved. Former President Richard M. Nixon and former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig will head the dis cussion of that region of the world. • MSC Town Hall’s request to bring musicians Dan Peek and Amy Grant to Texas A&M was approved. The Dan Peek concert is sched uled for Feb. 7 and Amy Grant for April 2. “Our goal is to have good public relations work and to bring pro grams that normally wouldn’t be offered,” said David Klosterboer, program review committee chair man. • The budget for the 1986 MSC Variety Show, “You Ain’t Seen No thin’ Yet,” was approved. • Cepheid Variable and Aggie Cinema s spring movie series were approved. The goal of Cepheid Variable and Aggie Cinema is to expose the stu dent body to a variety of films, Klos terboer said. Ruiz retrial starts with objections Associated Press AUSTIN — The retrial of prison reform activist David Ruiz oegan Monday after a judge denied, for the second time, defense claims that prosecutors triggered a mistrial last month because they wanted a new jury. Meanwhile, defense attorney Bob Looney asked the 3rd Court of Ap peals to stop the retrial until it de cides an appeal arising out of the mistrial, which was caused by a drinkingjuror. State District Judge C.C. “Kit” Cooke said testimony in the retrial would start Wednesday if a jury can be selected and there is no stay from the appellate court. In the trial Ruiz, 43, who was the chief plaintiff in the suit that brought on the major changes in the state prison system, is accused of robbing of Jonn Twidwell, one of four victims of an Austin apartment stickup in September 1984. “Because my client’s (Ruiz’s) name has become known across the state because of his prison reform activ ities, there is no reason to put his life in double jeopardy, which the state is trying to do, Looney argued Mon day. “The state not only invited mis trial (in the first robbery trial) but ac tually forced it because of prosecuto rial misconduct,” Looney said. Prosecutors argued that the de fense was responsible for the mis trial. “Mr. Looney was the one who asked for the mistrial, not us,” said Assistant District Attorney Terry Keel. “The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that where several people are involved in a robbery, the trial of one charge does not prohibit trial on any of the other charges.” Cooke declared a mistrial on Oct. 15 after almost two weeks of testi mony when he found that a juror had been drinking during recesses. “My feeling is that we’ve got a new and aistinct case here,” Cooke said in overruling Looney’s motion that charges against Ruiz be dismissed. However, Cooke said he would al low time for Looney to take his ap peal of the mistrial to the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin. Brenham residents still shaken by murders Associated Press BRENHAM — On Aug. 11, things changed in Brenham. The quiet town nestled in the roll ing hills southeast of Austin saw its security shaken when teacher Kathy Coppedge, 36, and her 11-year-old son, Casey, were abducted in broad Their bodies were later found in the trunk of Coppedge’s car. Cop pedge had been snot, and her son had suffocated from the 150-plus- degree heat in the trunk. Now, despite the efforts of police, deputies and the Texas Rangers, and the lure of a $17,000 reward, the slayings are still unsolved. Investigators are baffled. They lack clues, leads and even a motive. In the town of 11,000 residents, best known as the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream, the people are horrified by the crime and stunned by the in trusion of such violence. “I used to say, ‘we don’t have mur ders in Brenham,’ ” said Mayor Do rothy Flisowski. “I can’t say that now.” Brenham, she says, has lost its in nocence. It had been a typically hot and muggy August Sunday for the 115 or so worshipers at Brenham Pres byterian Church. Coppedge and her son, two of the congregation’s new est members, were seated in a rear pew. Phil Coppedge, her husband, did not attend. The Coppedges had moved to Brenham in November 1984 when Coppedge was transferred by his employer, Hughes Tool Co. He serviced the oil rigs in the oil fields surrounding Brenham. Mrs. Coppedge had been hired to teach first grade at Brenham’s el ementary school. According to one witness, a car carrying two men with a woman seated between them in the front seat sped out of the parking lot and south down Jackson Street after the church service.
