shootings
Associated Press
ALBANY, Texas — Three family
members found dead in their home
apparently were shot with a semi-au
tomatic pistol that appeared to have
been wiped clean of fingerprints, an
investigator said Tuesday.
The bodies of Dorothy Seedig, in
her 50s; her daughter, Julie Dennis,
32; and Dennis’ daughter, Melissa,
3; were found Monday.
Texas Ranger Sid Merchan said
no arrests had been made Tuesday.
Merchant said all three had been
shot in the head sometime Monday,
and a .22-caliber semi-automatic pis
tol, belonging to Seedig’s son, was
found in another room.
The weapon was sent to a labo
ratory for ballistics tests.
A gas heater valve had been
turned on, possibly in an attempt to
make the house explode, Merchant
said.
Merchant said several people
were questioned and released, in
cluding Dennis’ former husband
and her brother. He declined to dis
cuss any possible motive in the case,
but said nothing was missing from
the house and there was no sign of
forced entry.
The bodies, which were found in
a bedroom, were sent to Dallas for
autopsies. Merchant said.
Two next-door neighbors said the
Shackleford County sheriff’s office
was called when they found the
doors to Seedig’s red brick house
locked, the shutters drawn and the
smell of natural gas coming from the
house.

RHA program for freshmen
sharpens leadership skills
By ANTHONY S. CASPER
Reporter
The Texas A&M Residence Hall
Association has come up with a way
to help freshmen become campus
leaders.
RHA Freshman Leadership, a pi
lot program launched during the fall
semester, is helping freshmen who
want to participate in campus lead
ership positions.
Debbie Caldarola, director of the
project, says any freshman who lives
on campus is invited to apply for
membership.
“Last semester was our organiza
tional period,” she says. “This semes
ter we are encouraging them to run
for leadership positions on campus,
notjust in RHA, but in any organiza
tion or club they may be interested
in.
“We basically try to teach them
good, basic leadership skills while
they’re still freshmen so they can de
velop these skills to become good
leaders.”
She says that last semester RHA
set up committees and had freshmen
serve as the chairmen and subchair
men. Basically, the freshmen got an
opportunity to set up meetings and
fundraising projects and line up
speakers for special events, she says.
Last semester the leadership pro
gram answered directly to the RHA,
“We basically try to teach
them good, basic lead
ership skills while they 're
still freshmen ...”
— Debbie Caldarola, di
rector of RHA Freshman
Leadership program.
but Caldarola says this semester the
freshmen will have more autonomy.
“This semester we’ll be setting up
president and vice president posi
tions as well and let them go through
the responsibilities of the office,” she
says.
She says the RHA mentor pro
gram gives the freshmen an edge
when competing for leadership posi
tions.
“What we do is have the members
list at least two organizations in
which they think they would be in
terested in pursuing a leadership
position,” Caldarola says. “Last fall
we had a committee of freshmen
who went out and found people like
the president of the MSC Council
and president of the Student Gov
ernment and asked them if they
would be willing to be a mentor to
the freshmen.
“Basically what they’re
being like their buddy. They
with them, they explain toil
their duties in the organization
offer advice. The ideal ski
to have the mentor be opent(|

Caldarola says she hopes]

“One of our goals is forthenj

by the time they’re all seniorsnl

the people in leadership
around campus,” she says.
