Prisons close
for 4th time
in four weeks
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — The
Texas prison system, in what has be
come a weekly routine, closed its
doors to new inmates at the end of
the day Wednesday because the
number of prisoners again exceeded
a 95 percent legal limit.
It was the fourth shutdown in as
many weeks and the fifth this year.
The latest population count,
made at midnight Tuesday, showed
the prisons at 38,507 prisoners —
95.2 / percent of capacity.
“There’s no room at the inn,” De
partment of Corrections spokesman
Charles Brown said.
A record 502 inmates were trans
ferred Tuesday into the state system,
second in size only to the California
prison system.
The large influx came as sheriffs
tried to alleviate their own jail
crowding problems caused by the
most recent state shutdown, which
lasted five days.
The duration of the current shut
down is uncertain. In recent weeks
the prisons have not reopened until
Tuesday of the following week.
enate calls for increase in attention,
’unding forA&M minority recruitment
By Christi Daugherty
Staff Writer
Agreeing
eded on t
that zealous action is
peeded on the issue of minority re-
Jruitment at Texas A&M, a split Stu
dent Senate passed a bill calling for
fan increase in money and attention
paid to the issue.
The bill, which passed after con
siderable debate and with some dis-
|ension, called minority enrollment
It A&M intolerably low and showing
no sign of improvement.
Senator Jerry Rosiek, author of
the bill, asked the Senate to consider
ticreased minority recruitment a
Inoral obligation rather than a legal
one because it would benefit all stu
dents.
“Alumni might grudgingly back
this issue, but what we need is a zeal
ous effort on this issue,” Rosiek said.
He said A&M currently has a stu
dent population that is 6.6 percent
Hispanic and 2.2 percent black.
The average minority population
at the other state universities is 9
percent black and 13.6 percent His
panic.
Some senators disagreed with the
issue of minority recruitment, saying
A&M should concentrate on getting
the best students regardless of race.
Senator Tom Black agreed, say
ing, “We can’t change the fact that
A&M is a predominantly conserva
tive school and minorities, which are
predominantly liberal, probably
don’t want to come here.”
But Rosiek and a majority of the
senators insisted that minority re
cruitment is a basic issue and ought
to be increased for many reasons, in
cluding the fact that A&M is under a
federal court order to increase its
minority enrollment.
“Education is not just classes,” Ro
siek said. “It includes being chal
lenged every day.
"Minority students offer some
thing that we can’t get from books,
and that’s the opportunity to im
merse ourselves in a minority sub
culture and absorb their knowled
ge”
The bill passed with a majority
vote.
In other action the Senate passed
a commendation resolution for the
outside art display at the Academic
Building after joking suggestions
from some senators, that the the
frog sculpture be exempted from
the commendation.
The Senate also approved a
spring election schedule which lists
filing for election to begin Monday
and run through March 5.
Spring elections are scheduled for
April 1, which is April Fools Day.
“We put a lot of thought into this
and decided it (the day) was apro
pos,” said Brit Thomas of the Elec
tion Commission.
53 senators out of 87 attended the
meeting.
