The % Battalion 845-2611 Station must pay loan to survive KAMU-FM holding fund-raiser By KATHERINE E. MATZINGER Reporter KAMU-FM is having its second of four annual fund-raisers. But the station manager says it’s still unclear whether or not the community will have a public radio station. The listener-supported station has been taking pledges since Jan. 13 and will continue until Thursday. The station must reach a goal of $85,000 by Aug. 31 to pay back a loan received from Texas A&M or face termination. As of Thursday the station had raised about $10,000, about half of its targeted goal for this particular drive. The first drive brought in close to $14,000. Station Manager Rick Howard says, “We don’t like to think about closing down. We’ve always met our goals but we need the support of our listeners.” Howard says the station receives money from the federal government and the University. The University holds the station’s license, but the bulk of the station’s money comes from listeners. How ard says listeners include A&M fac ulty members, students and the sur rounding community. But he says the station gets the bulk of its fi nances from the A&M faculty. He says students provide only a small part of the station’s contribu tions. Increased programming costs and cutbacks in University funding have forced the station to increase the goal for this drive. To help promote the fund-raiser Charles King Horticultural Services “We don’t like to think about closing down. We’ve always met our goals, but we need the support of our listeners. ” — Rick Howard, KAMU station manager. donated several plants to be given away to the highest donor of the day.

UIL realigns state school district lines Associated Press AUSTIN — Where a computer failed, the University Interscholastic League hopes that pins stuck in a map will succeed in properly re aligning high school districts across Texas. Every two years the UIL realigns, and in some cases reclassifies, over 1,150 high schools in volved in athletic and academic competition. UIL Athletic Director Bill Farney said, “It’s probably the most controversial thing the league office does beyond a single eligibility case that goes to court.” Farney recalls with slight embarrassment how two years ago two newspapers released the list of new districts, which had been kept under lock and key, before the districts were announced to coaches and administrators at an Austin meet ing. “The culprit has never been located,” Farney said. “. . . We just believe no one on our staff was involved.” Schools are placed in one of five conferences — A through 5A, which includes the larger schools, based on enrollment. Schools with in creasing enrollments could be put in a higher conference, while schools with a declining en rollment might drop. Districts are established within the conferences. The reason for secrecy in realigning districts, Farney says, is that coaches with advance knowl edge could get the jump in booking non-district opponents who would bring in high gate rec eipts or could be beaten easily. Under a plan adopted by the UIL a year ago, what had become known among football coaches as “Schedule Scramble Day” was pushed back three months — from the first Saturday in November to this Thursday. The delay enabled the UIL to use enrollment figures for October in a new formula that pro jects enrollments over the next two years. Without the change, schools would have been classified on the basis of their average enroll ment for 1983-84 and 1984-85. Thursday’s realignments basically affect foot ball and basketball. Tentative alignments for baseball, volleyball, soccer, swimming, track, tennis and golf will be released later, Farney said. Computers are helpful in producing pro jected enrollments but an attempt to let comput ers do all the work failed, according to Farney. The idea was to divide the state by computer into 5-mile grids. The plan was dropped after it was discovered that two nearby schools grouped in the same dis trict would have to travel long distance: across the Colorado River, a barrierbct»f schools. Farney and others on the UILathle.. went back to the old way of doing thins ing pins in a map for each school, startir.; northwest corner of the state and movie; and southeast. Rubber bands are r around groups of pins. Natural boundaries and the availak highways are considered along with gK>; ical location and the history of competk aligning districts. Some schools request certain distrir.: ments but a request alone doesn’t swaytk “We don’t get a lot of letters saying, getting our tails beat, we want out of: trict,’ ” Farney said. “We get letters; ‘We re too small. We’re at the bottomenc alignment. Something needs to be dont can be more competitive,’ ” After the new districts are announced,! may appeal to the UIL Athletic Coe which includes one representative froma the five conferences. Final appeals are scheduled for Feb.1' “under a new concept,” schools cannotii game contracts until after that date, Fame FBI apologizes for shooting at innocent m Associated Press DALLAS — The Dallas FBI office has apologized to a man who was shot at last month when an agent mistakenly thought he was involved in a kidnapping and extortion at tempt, officials said. “We were not pleased that an in nocent citizen found himself in a sit uation like that,” special agent in charge of the Dallas FBI Bobby Gil- Iham said. His office has completed an internal investigation of the inci dent and is waiting for a ruling from vht headquarters Washington be fore taking any disciplinary action against the agent. He said one of his agents fired two shots in an attempt to disable a car that drove through an FBI stakeout for a kidnapping suspect outside Guarantee National Bank the morn ing of Dec. 26. Gillham declined to discuss specif ics of the shooting investigation or confirm the identity of the agent, ex- The car’s driver, Willie Wyche, was not injured. He later told police he believed he was being accosted by a bank robber. Wyche told police he had no idea that the man who pointed a gun at him and ordered him to get out of his car was an FBI agent. Gillham said the agent did identify himself, although he acknowledged Wyche may not have heard it. As Wyche sped away in fear, the agent fired two shots at the vehicle, hitting it in the rear bumper and side door. Gillham said Wyche left the bank just ahead of a woman who had withdrawn $4,000 to pay off the kidnappers of her 2-year-old daugh ter. Although Gillham saidthef grets the incident, “that dot mean there were not circum that would have led alawe;: ment officer to believe i needed to be identified.” “I would have never run seen a badge,” Wyche said feel thankful I’m still alive."
