UNTSVILLE — Texas
son officials who think ban-
liig inmate-to-inmate mail will
curtail gang violence may be dis
jointed, say corrections offi-
s in other states.
ohn Taylor, spokesman for
Tennessee prison system,
i, “To think that cutting off
it will stop inmates from con-
ting each other is ludicrous."
utU.S. District Judge John V.
gleton of Houston suspended
I correspondence between in-
tes for one month last year af-
[ej eight prisoners were killed in
eek.
he Texas Department of Cor-
tions is now trying to clamp
m on inmate mail, alleging it
Sows prisoners to control drug
tiigs, plan assaults and murders
jm<l other violent activities.
ut Taylor said convicts can
tire a way around mail restric-
ms.
‘Inmates go to contacting
teone on the outside who in
n writes back to someone on
inside,” Taylor said. “Our
ilosophy is if an inmate is con-
iring with another one they will
d some way to get the informa-
|n back and forth anyway.”
arlier this month, Texas
son officials asked two federal
ges to end correspondence
ongthe 38,000 inmates.

A liberal arts education is an ex
cellent building block for the kind of
education the world requires, San
Antonio Mayor and Texas A&M Re
gent Henry Cisneros told an audi
ence of 500 in Rudder Theater
Monday night.
“Human nature and human his
tory — that’s the realm of the liberal
arts,” Cisneros said. “And, if nothing
else but as a grounding, as a building
block for what comes next —
whether it be in your personal expe
rience, on-the-job training or grad
uate school — you can’t ask for a bet
ter beginning.”
Cisneros outlined four challenges
facing the world which he said will
require the efforts of those with a
background in the liberal arts.
One challenge, he said, stems
from the fact that the United States
will be forming new relationships in
the world. Stronger relationships
with Mexico and Central American
nations will only be achieved
through cultural understanding, he
said.
Part of that understanding con
sists of realizing not all problemycan
be cured by technological means,
Cisneros said.
“I submit to you that one of the
great challenges of your time is
going to be to begin to unravel the
knotty problems — not only of trade
and immigration and political revo
lution and war — but the problems
of how people can live together in
this hemisphere,” Cisneros said.
H e also said a challenge exists in
Texas A&M Regent Henry Cisneros
making society a place in which the
human spirit can get in touch with it-
f elf despite the reality of an increas-
ngly technological world.
“Human beings are not made as
high-tech devices,” Cisneros said.
“And so what we find, even with the
burgeoning of high-tech, is a whole
host of things that indicates people’s
search for getting back in touch with
nature and themselves.”
Another need is for “people per
sons” to emerge and help personal
ize large bureaucracies and other in
stitutions, Cisneros said.
“The top five business people in

San Antonio that 1 work with on a
regular basis are as successful as they
are (and) in the positions that they
are because they’re people persons,”
he said. “They know how to deal
with human beings. They are not
cold automatons. They are not dis
tant and aloof from people.”
Cisneros also emphasized a fourth
challenge — the need to govern in
an effective and human way.
“Government cannot be done by
computer,” he said. “Government
can’t be done by formulas. Govern
ment cannot be done through proc
esses that are mechanical.

\&M prof files for re-election on CS Council
By CRAIG RENFRO
Staff Writer
jbert C. Runnels, current Place
Buncilman, has become the first
Bldidate to seek re-election on the
geStation City Council.
[unnels, associate professor of
orology at Texas A&M, filed
day for the position he has held
his election in 1980.
p for election this year are coun
cil positions Place 2,4 and 6.
The job of mayor is also to be de
cided in this year’s race.
“We (city council) pride ourselves
in trying to involve as many people
as possible and to do as many pro
jects that are good for the city as pos
sible,” Runnels said.
Runnels became the second A&M
professor to file for a council posi
tion.
Last week Larry Ringer, a statis
tics professor, announced his candi
dacy for mayor as did Place 6 coun-
cilwoman Lynn Mcllhaney.
Filing for council positions ends
Feb. 19, and the election is April 5.
Runnels has been a professor at
A&M since 1966.
He graduated from the University
of Houston in 1960 and received his
masters from A&M in 1962.
Upon graduation Runnels
worked for NASA for two years.
In 1966 he came back to A&M to
complete his education, and he re
ceived his Ph.D. in 1968.
Runnels said he is anticipating
working with the council and hopes
that he can be as helpful to the pub
lic as possible.
