Heavy caseload
forces sheriff
to end stakeout
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Sheriffs in
vestigators who had been staking out
a prepared gravesite for more than
two days said Thursday it was just a
coincidence they weren’t there when
the body of John Cruz, who had
been kidnapped before the stakeout
began, was dumped in the grave.
Officials said a personnel shortage
forced them to give up their vigil 12
hours before the body was discov
ered and that the stakeout was unre
lated to the kidnapping of Cruz.
Bexar County sheriffs Sgt. A.E.
Ramon said, “We watched it for 24
hours for three days. It got to a point
that a lot of the work was getting
backlogged and we had to come in.
Ramon said the sheriffs depart
ment has a heavy caseload and a
budget problem, also. He refused to
elaborate, although he said investi
gators intended to return to the sta
keout.
Officers said the shooting death
of Cruz may be linked to the fact his
family just received a $2.4 million
settlement in a lawsuit.
Sgt. Dalton Baker also said au
thorities believe the grave was dug
for Cruz and are convinced he was
shot there.
“I think it was just a coincidence
this happened while we weren’t
there,” Baker said.
He said during the surveillance,
deputies left the site several times
and doubled back in the event they
were being watched.
Cruz was abducted early Wednes
day and his family received two tele
phone calls demanding ransom, au
thorities said.
“We all feel pretty comfortable
that he did know who his killer was,”
Baker said.
Deputies began staking out the
gravesite Sunday after it was discov
ered by children playing in the re
mote area in South Bexar County.
Officers abandoned the surveil
lance at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. Cruz
was last seen early Wednesday when
he left his job at a convenience store
about a mile from his home, a co
worker said.
At 3:15 a.m., the Cruz family re
ceived a telephone call from a man
demanding $26,000 ransom for the
safe return of the son.
Homicide Lt. Albert Ortiz said a
second call came at noon from a man
saying the ransom had been in
creased to $30,000.
The caller said he would call back
at 3 p.m. to make arrangements to
collect the money. The call never
came.
Gov. White reverses
his debating decision
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Gov. Mark White, ap
pearing to reverse a decision by his
campaign chairman, Thursday said
he is willing to debate his Democratic
primary opponents.
“We’ll be pleased to debate them,”
White told his weekly news confer
ence.
Earlier this week, White campaign
chairman John Fainter wrote the
League of Women voters to decline
their offer for debate before the
May 3 primary.
“Gov. White’s state schedule is
particularly heavy throughout the
primary period, and we do not feel a
debate during these months would
be a productive commitment of the
governor’s time,” Painter’s letter
said.
But White, who last year prom
ised to debate any Democratic or Re
publican candidates, said the letter
was sent because the league’s accep
tance deadline was too early for his
campaign to decide on a date.
“Wejust couldn’t set it up on their
schedule. We’ll be glad to set it up on
a convenient schedule,” he said. “I’m
going to be willing to debate candi
dates who have serious issues in this
campaign to discuss.”
White’s comments followed a
news conference by Democratic
challenger Andrew Briscoe, who
said the governor owes it to voters
“to clarify the differences” between
f
himself and other candidates.
“Texans aren’t as proud of Mark
White’s record a he is. And I wel
come the opportunity to debate
him,” Briscoe said.
Also Thursday, White blasted
leaders of two teacher groups — the
Association of Texas Professional
Educators and the Texas Classroom
Teachers Association — who have
criticized his proposal for drug test
ing of teachers and other workers if
they are suspected of drug use.
“I doubt that their membership
supports the position that they’ve
taken. I believe that the overwhelm
ing majority of the teachers in Texas
totally support the position that
there should never be a teacher in
the classroom that’s under the influ
ence of narcotics,” he said.
In other political developments:
— State Treasurer Ann Richards,
saying her office has earned an extra
$117 million for the state, an
nounced she will seek a second term.
“That’s $117 million that didn’t
come from our taxpayers. The
money is largely from additional in
terest earned from investing state
funds at market rates,” she said.
Ms. Richards, a Democrat first
elected in 1982, also said her policies
have saved $1.13 million in state ex
penses through rrtore efficient Trea
sury practices, competitive bidding
on a computer and increased effi
ciency in state agencies.

A&M regents will consider
allotting libraries $1 million
By MONA L. PALMER
Staff Writer
During three days of meetings
which begin Sunday, the Texas
A&M Board of Regents will con
sider allocating $1 million to
Texas A&M libraries.
A report from A&M President
Frank E. Vandiver’s office says
the Sterling C. Evans library
ranks 42nd among its 105 peer li
braries as a result of a history of
inadequate funding.
The inadequacy of A&M’s li
brary forces faculty and students
to seek resources at other institu
tions such as the University of
Texas’ library, which ranks sixth
nationally, the report says.
The Target 2000 report states
the library collection must be
strengthened if the University
wants to support the quality of
faculty and students it is now at
tracting.
The money will be appropri
ated form the Available Univer
sity Fund.
The board also will consider
creating a bachelor of science
program in genetics for A&M
students.
Currently, the University of
fers a M.S. and Ph.D. in genetics.
The B.S. degree will give stu
dents a background in biology,
chemistry, math, and physics and
can lead to graduate or profes
sional training in a business/law
career based on the use of bi
otechnology.
The regents also will act on i
request to offer a bachelor of sci
ence degree in computer scienct
at Texas A&M at Gaiveston.
A survey of prospective em
ployers shows a need in the ma
rine and maritime industries and
related governmental agenciei
for graduates in this proposes
program. A report from Dr. Wi.
liam H. Clayton, president of
A&M-Galveston, says no similar
program exists within the start
and such a program is clearly
within the role, scope and capa
bility of A&M-Galveston.

of Prairie View A&M, has sub
