Republican gubernatorial
candidate to talk at A&M
U.S. Rep. Tom Loeffler, a can
didate for the Republican guber
natorial nomination, will speak at
noon Thursday at Rudder Foun
tain.
Loeffler, 39, a
congressman from
fourth-term
Hunt, rep
resents the 21st District, located
in the western part of the state.
He is vying with former Gov.
Bill Clements and former Rep.
Kent Hance for the GOP bid.
The state Republican primary is
set May 3.
All three candidates were pre
sent at a debate April 15 spon
sored by the League of Women
Voters.
In that debate, Loeffler sug
gested raising the price of crude
oil by implementing an oil import
fee and abolishing the windfall
profits tax.
He also pledged, as governor,
he would not impose a state in
come tax, and any other type of
tax increase would be considered
only as a last resort.
Loeffler, a graduate of the
University of Texas School of
Law, currently serves as chief
deputy whip of the Republican
Party in the House.
Apparent suicide stuns school
LAREDO (AP) — Cornelius Allen Trevino
was a happy-go-lucky seventh-grader, family and
friends said Tuesday as they tried to sort out why
he apparently killed himself at his brother’s
grave.
Trevino, 14, was found Monday with a bullet
wound to his chest. He was found by a city ceme
tery caretaker at the gravesite of his older
brother, Alejandro Trevino Jr., died of a drug
overdose in 1984, authorities said.
A .25-caliber pistol also was found at the
gravesite along with several bullets. 'T he letters
“D” and “P” and the outline of a heart were
found on the grave, investigators said.
An autopsy was ordered.
Another brother, Charlie Trevino, 21, a stu
dent and model in Dallas, said, “I don’t know
why he went to my brother’s plot.
“I was with him Saturday and there didn’t
seem to be any problems. I’m going to talk to his
girlfriend and find out what he was thinking and
where he got the gun.”
Cornelius Allen “Corny” Trevino was last seen
alive Saturday night by his girlfriend. He had left
his grandmother’s home late that night and
never returned, his brother said.
Authorities believe he went to the cemetery
Sunday night.
On Tuesday, Charlie T revino returned to L.J.
Christen Junior High School to collect his broth
er’s books and talk to friends and teachers. They
said the younger Trevino was working out a few
problems, but was a good person.
Social studies teacher Rodolfo Martinez said,
“He was a happy-go-lucky student. He laughed.
He talked. He always was with some boys and
girls. This all took us by surprise.”
The motto of L.J. Christen Junior High School
is “Where Everybody is Somebody Special.” Tea
chers said Trevino fit that title.
Math teacher Frances Wawroski said, “He was
well-liked by all the students. He was very popu
lar.”
Teachers said some students could not concen
trate on their classes because of the death.
Math teacher Alicia Pena said, “I had a class
this morning that was pretty bad. It was very,
very hard. They couldn’t believe it. It just tore
me up to see the boys like that. The girls crying I
could understand.”
Cornelius was the youngest of six children
born to a couple that divorced soon after his
birth. Their grandmother, Trinidad G. Trevino,
raised the six and she was Cornelius’ guardian,
Charlie Trevino said.
“We all took care of him a lot,” he said. “We all
wanted the best for him. He was the baby.”
He said he had admonished his brother for re
ceiving poor grades and his brother said he
would change.
Cornelius played football and ran track. He
was excited about the upcoming school prom,
said Charlie, who was eighth-grade class presi
dent in 1979 at the middle school.
“Everybody said he was a little image of me,”
Charlie said. “I’ve never been in trouble and he’s
never been in trouble and he didn’t want to get in
trouble like my older brothers.
“We also talked on Saturday and he said he
even wanted to go to college.”
Undercover computer cop gets death threats
AUSTIN (AP) — A police ser
geant who operated a disguised —
but official — police computer bul
letin board for a year says he has re
ceived death threats since the decep
tion became known.
Robert Ansley said he closed the
board, called The Tunnel, in late
March because his superiors thought
its continued operation was too ex
pensive and results too few.
Ansley said he has since received
threatening telephone calls and seen
messages posted on other computer
bulletin boards discussing ways, such
as car bombs, to get even with him.
“I got a call at home the other
night from what sounded like a kid
saying something like, ‘This is Rocko
and I’m back in town so you’re in
trouble,”’ Ansley said Monday.
He said The Tunnel was run only
as a test to see how many “pirate”
computer operators could be snared
by it. None were arrested, he said.
In its year of operation. The Tunnel recovered about
$100,000 worth of stolen access codes belonging to pa
trons of Western Union and LDS, a long distance tele
phone service.
— Robert Ansley, Austin police sergeant.
“We weren’t out to make arrests,”
Ansley said. “Initially, it was de
signed for information gathering.
Just to find out what was going on
and decide the best way to deal with
it.”
Jim Harrington of the Texas Civil
Liberties Union said Ansley’s crime
fighting bulletin board was “high-
tech entrapment” and unwarranted
government interference in private
lives.
“The only reason there’s no big
outcry about this is that most people
don’t understand what computer
bulletin-boarding is,” said Harring
ton .
“We’d sure act if it started up
again. If it came up in the context of
criminal charges, we’d try to con
vince the judge to drop the case and
dismiss the charges.”
Computer bulletin boards are
electronic versions of uncirculated
newsletters. They are available to
anyone with a computer and a de
vice, called a modem, that links a
computer to a telephone.
The operations of bulletin boards
are determined by their owners, but
the contents are up to their readers,
who commonly leave lengthy mes
sages on a variety of topics, often
without any clue to the readers’
identities.
Other computer operators never
asked him anything, Ansley said, but
some of them used The Tunnel to
ost messages containing stolen
ong-distance access codes.
They also used a feature common
to boards called “down-loading” to
supply The Tunnel with stolen
software for retrieval by any com
puter caller who wanted it, he said.
Ansley says in its year of opera
tion, The Tunnel recovered about
$100,000 worth of stolen access
codes belonging to patrons of West
ern Union and LDS, a long distance
telephone service.

Godzilla’s bathwater?
Contest takes a humorous look at a serious problem in San Angelo
SAN ANGELO (AP) — What
tastes like a fragrant blend of shrimp
and wet dog, Godzilla’s bathwater or
the Dallas Cowboys’ sweatsocks?
How about something “pumped
from a bog in Uganda and treated
with the soap scum from the bathtub
of Colonel Khadafy?”
Try San Angelo’s drinking water.
On second thought, maybe you’d
better not.
Those rancid remarks were but a

said City Manager Stephen Brown.
“For several months we’ve been
bringing in 60 to 70 percent of our
water from Lake Spence, which has
even worse water than we do,”
Brown said.
How bad is it?
“On a scale of one to 10, with 10
being the best, its a 3.5 ... but without
it, we’d be high and dry right now,”
he said.
With a dry laugh, so to speak,
Brown said he offered to remove
Cowan’s water meter and let him
haul his water from the river.
Undaunted, Cowan awarded first
place in his contest to Yvonne Car
ter, who wrote:
“San Angelo water tastes like it’s
been filtered through the dust and
drippings scraped off a Trashaway
sanitation truck with a sweaty palm
