When the dust settles, he said,
Texas will have much better schools
than it has now.
Ashby didn’t limit his lecture only
to Texas’ economic state and where
Texas will find itself tomorrow, how
ever.
He also told the audience the
three influences that make Texans
different from the rest of the nation
— their reverence for the land, reli
gion and patriotism.
“Most people came to Texas for
the land,” he said. “As savage and in
hospitable as it was, it was the lure of
the land that built Texas.”

The land has a mesmerizing hold
on Texans whether they live on a
country ranch or a city high-rise, he
said.
He said religion is the second per
vasive influence in Texas that sets
the state apart from others and
keeps it on the path it’s on.
“Texans probably are the most re
ligious people on Earth,” he said.
“Other areas no doubt have more
churches and fewer sinners, but no
where is religion quite so influential
in the United States.
Waldo
by Kevin Thom
“No candidate for office in Texas
can win without the endorsement of
God. No law can come into effect in
Texas without at least the benevo
lent neglect of our religious leaders.”
This deep religious feeling
doesn’t necessarily make Texans
good, however, Ashby said. Texas
tales of murder and mayhem are
legendary, he said.

Ashby said Texans’ fervent reli-
gous beliefs were planted by Texas
settlers who faced the odds of a
harsh land and knew it was really
more than they could handle. These
settlers turned to religion to cope
with the conditions, he said.
The final element that shapes
Texans’ lives is that they’re ex
tremely patriotic, he said.
Again, this is both good and bad,
he said.
“The Ku Klux Klan, the right-
wing loonies of all stripes find easy
pickings in Texas,” he said. “They
come here because they feel at home.”
One reason Texans are so patri
otic is simply because they love to
fight, he said.
“And fighting while wrapped in
the flag is okay,” he said.
Those three trends that make
Texas stand out cannot change —
nor should they, Ashby said.
truders realized they couldn’t escape
through the back door, so they took
him into a nearby bathroom and
plotted a new escape strategy.
While all the men were in the
bathroom, one of the two police offi
cers who had ■come into the store
managed to hide in a corner of the
store behind some shelves, Muko-
gosi said he learned later.
Then, Mukogosi said, the intrud
ers took him out of the bathroom
and began walking toward the front
of the store, using him as a shield.
Ho said one intruder held the shot
gun on him from behind, while the
other two were on either side of him
as they all made their way toward the
front door.
As they approached the first offi
cer standing inside the store block
ing the front doors, Mukogosi said,
the intruder holding the gun began
to panic and it seemed he was about
to shoot somebody.
The hiding officer then shot the
intruder holding the gun, Mukogosi
said, and the intruder fell down.
That intruder, Elvis Frank Tejera,
21, of Bryan was pronounced dead
at the scene.
Mukogosi said the hiding officer
who shot Tejera later told Mukogosi
that he had taken a risk in doing so
because Mukogosi could have easily
treeu hit instead.
But, Mukogosi said, that if the of
ficer had not shot, either Mukogosi
or the officer at the front door
would have been shot by Tejera.
"With that gunshot I was just con
fused,” Mukogosi said. “I just started
running toward the front door, not
even knowing what I was doing.”
He was running through the first
officer’s line of fire as the officer
started shooting, Mukogosi said. He
said that was third time he was al
most hit.
Mukogosi said the officers shot
the other two intruders at that lime.
One of the two intruders was un
armed and the other had a machete.
Kennedy said.
Mukogosi said it sounded like
quite a few shots were fired by the
officers, but he couldnis
many.
After the intruders wtrt
Mukogosi said, the officers;
ner out of the office, andtli
lances arrived.
Kennedy said the inimi

over-and-under shotgun
with two rifle slugs.
