Delivery of books by CS store starts new A&M tradition By Robert Morris Stuff Writer Cali it another proud Aggie tradi tion or simply an inherently boring annoyance following the start of ev ery semester. By any account, stand ing in long lines waiting to buy books has become an integral part of col lege life. That is, until now. J.E. Loupot, owner of Loupot’s Book Store, has instituted a new book delivery service that may change the way students buy books in the future. The free service is available with a purchase of $50 or more in books and other items, and will run through Friday. Virginia Carmody, a junior envi ronmental design major from Shreveport, took advantage of the service earlier this week. She said it was convenient and time-saving. “I didn’t have to stand in line or carry my books around with me,” she said. While Loupot said the financial success of the service couldn’t be evaluated until the end of the week, the delivery system is getting much use. Still, a large number of deliveries doesn’t mean profit, but Loupot said he started the service as a conve nience for the “kids.” Business also played a part in Loupot’s decision. “One-third of all books not sold during the first part of the semester are lost,” he said. “Either new edi tions are brought out or a change is made by the school. It is important to sell as many books as we bought during December and January.” Other area book store owners said they have felt no real impact on their business as a result of Loupot’s new service, and at this time do not plan to have deliveries of their own. Loupot said the home delivery would bring long-term benefits for his store. He hopes it will create repeat busi ness and bring those people who bought books by delivery into the store. “My whole business is built on friendship and the delivery system is part of that,” he said. Child support laws in Texas face change FORT WORTH (AP) — New judges more discretion in individual state child support guidelines ex pected to be approved this week would base payments on net income instead of gross income and give Texas prisons nearing capacity d that sk ig nott i' l im door j :uled tor m in tin rchingtl* id no eft of the» tion, ho* ■ HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Texas prisons remained open again on Wednesday although the inmate population edged closer to the 95- pnrent capacity that would trigger the nation’s second-largest correc tions system to again refuse new in mates. ■ About 125 prisoners were being admitted on Wednesday while 80 were being paroled, Department of Corrections spokesman Charles Brown said. B The latest official count, made Jluesday at midnight and released Wednesday afternoon, showed the system with 38,250 inmates, or 94.72 percent of capacity. M That was up 12 inmates from the previous day and left the system with only a 114-inmate cushion. Today, however, looms as a crit ical day with deliveries of prisoners expected from the most populous Texas counties. Brown said projections showed about 190 inmates would be brought in. “We’ll get them from Dallas, Tar rant, Bexar and Harris counties,” Brown said. “We will be open for business Fri day, I’m sure, but we may end up the same way we did last week,” he said. Inmate population in the 26-unit system, the nation’s second largest behind California, exceeded the 95- percent capacity last Friday, forcing officials to refuse new inmates. Parole officials feverishly worked through the weekend to approve in mate releases to bring the popula tion beneath the 95 percent capacity, allowing the system to reopen on Monday. The 95-percent capacity was set in 1983 after a federal judge ordered officials to take steps to reduce crowding in Texas prisons. U.S. District Judge William Wayne Justice already has issued a contempt order against the correc tions department, saying the agency failed to live up to agreements made in 1980 to improve inmates’ living conditions and staffing in the pris ons. The judge gave the prison system until March 31 to meet the standards or risk fines of up to $800,500 a day. The prison board is planning to appeal the contempt order. cases. The measures were presented T uesday by Judge Catherine H. Ad- amski. They replace guidelines ap proved last May by the Child Sup port Advisory Committee. The Texas Supreme Court re scinded those guidelines July 17 af ter putting them into effect on June 1. Under the new measures, set tlement payments would be set in the range of 19 percent to 23 per cent of net income for one child, 24 percent to 28 percent for two chil dren, 30 percent to 40 percent for three children, and 35 percent to 39 percent for four children. For five or more children, the amount of support paid must be at least the same as for four children. The old guidelines were criticized as unfair because payment was based on gross income and because judges had little discretion. The state Su preme Court asked a panel of judges and lawyers to write new guidelines amending those flaws. The new measures may be used to modify existing support orders if there has been a material and sub stantial change in circumstances. me TOTAL FITNESS FOR MEN & WOMEN NO DUES! NO I.D. FEES!
