Wednesday, February 12, 1986/The Battalion/Page 13 2 plead guilty in vigilante case Associated Press FORT WORTH — Two teen-ag ers pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from their in volvement in the Legion of Doom, a vigilante-type organization that con ducted a violent crusade to rid a high school of crime and drug use. State District Judge Don Leonard ordered pre-sentence investigations for Michael Taw Guthrie, Iv, and Charles W. Fillmore, 18. Leonard’s administrative clerk said Guthrie pleaded guilty to aggra vated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon. Fillmore pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon, one count of aggravated as sault with a deadly weapon, one count of felony criminal mischief, two misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief and a charge of cruelty to animals, the clerk said. Five other teen-agers pleaded guilty Monday before Leonard to charges that include possession of bombs, assault, and destruction of cars, a school locker and a mailbox. One misdemeanor charge involved killing a cat that was left in a stu dent’s car. Leonard has said it will be about a month before he is ready to sentence the seven. Police said members of the Legion of Doom — many of them honor students, athletes and sons of promi nent members of the community — resorted to violence in an attempt to rid Paschal High School of crime and drugs. Assistant District Attorney Scott Wisch said the case of the remaining defendant, Bradley James Bielss, 18, indicted on a misdemeanor charge, will be dealt with after the others are sentenced. The eight defendants were in dicted on graduation day last May on 33 charges that stem from a series of crimes between Jan. 9 and March 24, 1985. The incidents included a car bombing, firing of shots at a house and passing notes signed with swastikas. Punishment on the individual fel ony charges range from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The misdemeanor offenses are pun ishable by up to six months in a county jail and a $ 1,000 Fine.

Richard A. Gilbert, 29, was beaten by two inmates at the Texas Department of Corrections Coffield Unit near Tennesee Col ony while sitting in his cell about 6:30 p.m. Monday, prison spokesman Phil Guthrie said. The two inmates entered Gil bert’s cell during an “in and out” period when prisoners are al lowed to leave their cells, Guthrie said. “The suspects entered his cell and beat him with a broom,” he said. After the beating, the suspects, one serving 35 years for theft and murder in Harris County and the other serving 25 years for a bur glary in Milam County, climbed up to the next row of cells and surrendered, Guthrie said. Gilbert, serving a life sentence for injury to a child with a deadly weapon in Dallas County, was treated at the prison infirmary then transported to the TDC Hospital in Galveston where he is listed in fair condition. Last year 216 prisoners were assaulted and 27 killed within the Texas prison system. Prince Charles to get 90,000-poundcake Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — With the help of directions on the back of a cake mix box, more than 180 people are baking and assembling a Texas-size dessert to celebrate the visit of Brit ain’s Prince Charles to Texas. The 90,000-pound cake, said to be the world’s largest, will be cut by the prince and Gov. Mark White during Charles’ visit to Austin, on Feb. 20. The Prince of Wales is planning a four-day visit to Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio next week, in honor of the Texas Sesquicenten- nial. The cake, large enough to feed 300,000, will be cut at a party at City Coliseum in Austin. Each slice will go for $ 1.50 or $ 150 for a sheet. Pro ceeds are earmarked for restoration of the Texas Capitol. The cake is being created under the supervision of Franz Eiche- nauer, the current record-holder for the world’s largest cake. The Colonial Cake Co., a 104- year-old family bakery in San Anto nio, will have a dozen bakers, 20 pas try chefs and 150 student helpers handling the baking project. Bakery owner L.J. Richter said, “We don’t make our cakes from mixes, so we didn’t know how it would work. So we bought some of the mix at the store to make sure we could do it.” On Feb. 19, Richter and his team of bakers will deliver 20,000 layers to Austin, where the cakes will be as sembled and frosted under Eiche- nauer’s supervision. Eichenauer, vice president of the food and beverage division of the Hospitality Management Corp. in Dallas, set the Guiness Book record for the world’s largest cake July 4, 1982, with an 81,982-pound cake in Atlantic City, N.J. The firm which is sponsoring the cake will provide 31,026 boxes of yellow cake mix. "It's a Gumby Dorm Shirt, Dammit!"

Saenz formed a data bank for lo cating former classmates when she was a junior at the University of Texas. She decided to broaden her services after a distressed woman re counted her experiences of planning a high school reunion. “All anyone wanting a reunion has to do is provide us with a guest list and' tell us how much they want to spend, and we take it from there,” she says. Today, she not only provides this service for Wichita Falls schools but also some in Dallas and Austin. “It’s pretty difficult to keep up with these people, but we send out change of address cards about every three years,” she says. On the average, Saenz explained, people between 18 and 30 change addresses about every 18 months. Another service Reunion Enter prises offers to people who move frequently is listing their credit card numbers, subscriptions and relatives in a computer. When a client gives notice of a move, Saenz’ firm notifies credit card companies, magazines and relatives of the change in ad dress. “This way, they only have to make one telephone call,”, she sa.ys. “We do the rest of it.” When it comes to reunions, Saenz says she prefers to start eight months to a year in advance. She explained that 20-year class reunions are the most successful. “People who have been out of school that long have usually settled on a career and are better off finan cially than younger people, so they can usually afford to come back to attend,” she says. She says the hardest part about planning a reunion is locating for mer students and coming up with ideas to make each reunion different each time. “Most of these reunions wind up being basically the same, so it’s diffi cult to come up with new ideas so no two will be alike,” she says. -presents 'lled.- Jam Session sponsored by Lippman Music Thurs.- 4 HAMS ON RYE $4.00 COVER 4353 Welbom l 846-1427 Call Battalion Classified 845-2611 MSC Town Hall and KORA Presents the r A MF.
