Grand jury
charges
bomber
AUSTIN (AP) — A man de
scribed by the FBI as a free-lance
soldier of fortune has been indicted
on charges that he sold a bomb to a
Hays County man convicted of
stashing it aboard a Dallas-bound
jetliner.
The indictment handed down
Tuesday by a federal grand jury al
leges that William Clayton Buckley,
36, conspired with Albert Lee Thiel-
man to place a destructive device
aboard an airplane. The homemade
bomb detonated Oct. 30, 1985, after
the plane landed at Dallas-Fort
Worth International Airport.
There were no injuries to the 154
people aboard the plane, including
Thielman’s wife and three children.
Authorities said Thielman, who was
sentenced to 40 years in prison,
planned to collect $2.65 million in
life insurance he had taken out on
his family to pay off $22,000 in gam
bling and credit card debts.
Buckley, who was convicted of an
unrelated explosives charge in
Georgia, could face up to 20 years in
prison and a $250,000 Fine.
Males, females to alternate floors
RHA works for coed housing
By Rodney Rather
Stuff Writer
A plan for coeducational housing
jfl the Texas A&M campus is being
developed by the Residence Hall As
sociation this semester, president
David McDowell said Tuesday.
Extension of residence hall visita-
n hours and development of a
new meal plan are other projects
RHA is considering, McDowell said.
An RHA subcommittee will study
information gathered from schools
across the nation with coed housing,
he said, and students will be sur
veyed to determine their interest in
the project.
In addition, RHA is studying both
the results of last summer’s coed
housing project for graduate stu
dents at Underwood Hall and the
progress of two coed dormitories
formed this semester by the Corps of
Cadets, he said.
Neither of those projects is con
nected with RHA, he added.
“The initial indicatons on the
whole project are very positive,” Mc
Dowell said. “The Corps doesn’t
seem to be having any problems at
“The initial indications on the whole project are very
positive. The Corps doesn’t seem to be having any
problems at all and Underwood didn’t have any prob
lems this past summer. ”
— David McDowell, RHA president.
all and Underwood didn’t have any
problems this past summer.”
The subcommittee’s report
should be finished next semester, he
said. However, the process of plac
ing students in a coed hall won’t start
for at least two years for the plan to
pass through necessary administra
tive steps.
If the project is carried out, RHA
will convert one dorm into a coed
hall with males and females sepa
rated on alternate floors and regular
visitation hours enforced, he said.
Furthermore, only juniors and se
niors would be allowed to live in the
hall, he said.
“We have not decided on any
dorm yet,” McDowell said.
“I think it would be premature if
we did start out looking at just one
hall. I don’t think that would be
right.”
RHA is also working on a plan to
extend visitation hours in residence
halls, McDowell said.
Visitation hours are now from 10
a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through
Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 1:30
a.m. on weekends.
RHA passed a visitation proposal
last year, he said, but the Depart
ment of Student Affairs rejected it.
Last year RHA didn’t commu
nicate well with students about this
proposal, he said.
The organization hopes to rem
edy that problem this year by con
ducting a campus survey to deter
mine students’ desire to increase
visitation hours.
RHA should have a report to sub
mit to the proper administrative
channels next semester, he said.
If approved, the proposed new
visitation hours should take effect
one or two semesters afterward, he
said.
McDowell listed suggestions for
changing visitation hours that have
been brought to RHA’s attention:
• Increasing visitation hours in
hall lounges.
• Increasing visitation hours only
on weekends.
• Extending weeknight visitation
until 11 p.m.
Also, RHA is working this year on
the formation of a new campus meal
plan for the Food Services Depart
ment, McDowell said.
The department asked RHA to
develop an alternative meal plan to
supplement its current choices be
cause many students say the meal
plan isn’t diverse enough, McDowell
said.
“Food Services said it received a
lot of complaints about the current
meal plans it offers,” he said.

Comet’s
ride ends
DALLAS (AP) — The Comet
roller coaster, once the pride of
the State Fair of Texas, has rum
bled to a halt because of problems
obtaining liability insurance, a
state fair spokesman says.
Spokesman Nancy Wiley said
the fair’s overall package requires
that each individual ride have its
own liability insurance, and as the
state fair owns the roller coaster,
it was impossible to get the extra
coverage.
“Premiums have shot up, but
they’ve also changed the require
ments. There’s no way that we,
the State Fair, can get the insur
ance.” said Wiley.
She said state fair officials
would reopen the ride if insur
ance became available.
‘Luv’ gives crowd lots of laughs
in Aggie Players’ season opener
By Tony Cornett
Staff Writer
They just luvved “Luv.”
A near-sellout crowd laughed a lot
last Friday night at the Aggie Play
ers’ season-opening production of
Murray SchisgaTs “Luv.”
Staged in Rudder Forum, “Luv” is
a zany comedy about what a strange,
fragile and undefinable thing love is.
The play pokes fun at so many
different aspects of love that only
the most sheltered of people
couldn’t have, at some point in the
play, said to themselves, “Hey, that’s
kind of nutty, but I’ve been there.”
The acting was great. There was
never a time when any of the three
players seemed to lose their charac
ter’s identity. And they were very be
lievable.
But there were times early in the
play that seemed to be a little rough,
when the characters were a little dis
tant from each other and didn’t re
late well to each other.
But when things did come to
gether, it was hard to tell whether it
was a result of the players’ timing in
stincts that pulled them together or
whether it was the comedy itself that
made them seem more cohesive.
Director Bob Wenck did a nice job
with his players on such a small set.
The play takes place on a bridge
and the representation was terrific.
The set looked for all the world like
a giant chunk of a bridge that had
been dragged in just for the play.
As Harry Berlin, the beatnik who
sees no reason for living, Martell
Stroup was very good.
But there were places where he
could have eased off some of the fid
geting he did. It proved distracting
when he wasn’t the center of the ac
tion.
Tim McEvoy was a great Milt
Manville, the success-oriented, over
bearing college chum who saves
Harry from jumping off the bridge
by telling him that love is worth liv
ing for.
As Milt’s wife, Ellen, Donna Mc
Bride was hilarious. She should re
mind almost every guy of that date
with the girl who, even though she
was a little bit screwed up, was still
smarter than he was.
