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

■ 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.
