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.

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'

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."
According to FBI policy,
are only allowed to fire in
ening situations, and the used
fire by federal agents is rare
