Texas Department of Corrections officials have argued inmate-to-in- mate correspondence allows gang members to set up assaults, murders and organize other activities. But U.S. District Judge John V. Singleton said Monday that the problem of gangs is directly related to a shortage of guards, and he said the Legislature apparently does not feel compelled to address the prob lem. “You will have a hard time con vincing me you should change a rule that affects 40,000 inmates,” Sin gleton told Assistant Texas Attorney General F. Scott McCown. Singleton and U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice are hearing arguments this week about inmates’ rights to correspond with each other. Singleton said limiting inmate cor respondence would not thwart vio lence caused by the more than 1,230 gang members that officials say are housed in Texas prisons. “How in the world are you going White says he’s kept inaugural promises Associated Press AUSTIN — Gov. Mark White told a major political action commit tee Tuesday that he is accomplishing the things he promised Texans in his 1983 inaugural address. He said he has worked to provide the good schools and roads that serve as “a platform for business to operate from.” “In the speech I gave out here in 1983 on the front steps of the Capi tol .. . we’re accomplishing what we set out to do,” White told the Texas Association of Realtors political ac tion committee. The governor, who is scheduled to launch his re-election bid Jan. 24, acknowledged that the realtors are a major political force. Their political committee is usually among the big gest spenders in Texas campaigns. “You’re known by others as the most effective organization, among many effective organizaions, for your efforts to bring your thoughts to the legislature,” White said. The governor drew an ovation by promising continued support for the no pass, no play rule that bars failing students from extracurricular activ- he said. “I believe we’re right and I’m going to stick.” The three major GOP gubernato rial contenders — former Gov. Bill Clements, U.S. Rep. Tom Loeftler and former congressman Kent Hance — have suggested possible shortening of the six-week suspen sion period that the no pass, no play rule carries. White said that would be a mis take. “I think it’s incredible to hear peo ple stand up and say, ‘Oh, retreat,’ he said. “The fact of the matter is we send our children to school to learn. ities. “I’m not going to retreat on that,’ “When you have 85 percent pass all the courses, and somewhere along the line when you start falling back to four weeks, three weeks, two weeks, one week, you’re going to see 80 percent pass, then only 75 per cent pass. “Then you’re back to where you started, which is mediocre. I don’t think Texans want that,” White said. Texans must remember that their state is in economic battle with the entire world, he added. “We’re the only country on earth that plays football,” White said. “Al most all the other counties are play ing hardball — hardball economics.” Can firewalking make you a hot shot in life?

We’ve survived because of it, been de stroyed with it and worshipped it. Today, some people are even paying to walk on it. For $495, Anthony Robbins will teach you how to be a more success ful person by traipsing down a bed of red-hot coals. His is one of about a dozen firewalking seminars available throughout the country. Robbins, a 25-year-old high school dropout, expects to make a million dollars this year through his three-part firewalking seminar, which also includes training in spe cial diet and health techniques. Firewalking is nothing new. It was an ancient ritual in Fiji, Japan, Greece, Brazil and India. The prac tice found its way to the United States about four years ago. Robbins, 6f Del Mar, Calif., began his seminars in 1983 and now boasts 30,000 graduates. He says most have trekked over coals averaging be tween 1,200 and 2,000 degrees. Robbins says the purpose of his firewalks is not to entertain thrill seekers or teach a new picnic game, but rather to break down basic fears that can inhibit a person’s success in life. “What if every time you said ‘I can’t,’ you said T must’ and took ac tion?” Robbins asks. With firewalk ing, “I want to offer a metaphor for that lifestyle.” Robbins’ attorney and fellow fire- walker, Richard Greene, 31, ex plains further: Firewalking “is an in credible metaphor for personal effectiveness,” he says. “It’s the abil ity to re-experience the triumph, confidence and energy which comes in just overcoming an obstacle.” Edward Sparks, 46, a Los Angeles County traffic signal inspector and a veteran hot-footer, says it this way: “If I can do this, I can do anything.” There are those who appreciate the message but disagree with the method.

But he objects to Robbins “mis leading people about what makes it possible to walk on hot coals.” “You need to find the courage to take the steps, and if you do, you’ll make it,” Leikind said. “It has noth ing to do with his training.” The researcher speaks from expe rience. Not only did he walk Rob bins’ coals unscathed, he did so with out attending Robbins’ five-hour preparatory seminar. Particularly offensive to Leikind is Robbins’ suggestion that the mind can overcome the laws of physics, in this case, heat’s ability to burn flesh. “Burning is something I create in my mind,” Robbins lectures. “You can change the reality in your world by choosing to believe and experi ence something else.” While Robbins credits the In instinc t to protect itself by biodi cally changing the way spends to intense heat, others to less spiritual factors. Bruce Zawacki, director of services at Los Angeles Count)' Medical Center, witnessed a m® student walk a short bed of hot and was unimpressed by it Robbins acknowledges that ing on hot coals can be risky, dally without his help. “People have gotten first, and third degree burns. . . have had skin grafts and three] pie have died,” warned Ro “None of them attended my nar.” On Sale: Our Entire Collection of Bun Furniture Healt chari' or fa: DUBLIN survey indii fitness booi sumer taste rants.
