what happened a few days before
our hearing. He knew we had pos
session of the items but Greg
(Stroud) wasn’t charged with posses
sion until now.”
Turnbough said both students
had stopped by his office before the
first hearing, but said that, at that
time, the theft and possession
charges weren’t appropriate because
the circumstances reported to him
by Mosher Hall’s head resident ad
viser, Suzanne Friend, didn’t merit
those charges.
Turnbough also said he doesn’t
consider recharging the students
double jeopardy because, although
the case is the same, the charges are
different.
He said he didn’t know how the
situation would be handled in a nor
mal legal proceeding but added that
the legalities of a normal court of law
are not necessarily the same for judi
cial board hearings.
But Skladal said he and Stroud
are being charged with something
they have already admitted to and
that it is not legally right.
Paterson said educational hear
ings have rules that are less formal
than official court procedures.
“If further information is re
vealed through a process of law,
whether it comes at the hearing
stage or earlier, and there appears to
be a violation of University rules and
regulations, those violations ought to
be addressed,” Paterson said.
According to a residence hall inci
dent report, the plaques, memo
boards and pens were found in
Stroud’s room and it was suspected
that he and Skladal stole the items.
However, Stroud said he found a
brown paper bag on Jan. 29 at about
11 p.m. marked “Courtesy of Aston”
while studying with Skladal in a
third-floor study carrel of Dunn
Hall.
“I didn’t turn it in right away be
cause I wanted to make sure I
turned it in to the right person,”
Stroud said. He took the bag to his
room and went out of town the next
morning, he said.
Skladal said Sonya Wilson, a resi
dent of Mosher Hall, found out the
items were in Stroud’s room, and on
Jan. 29 she told Stroud’s roommate
she didn’t want to cause any trouble
but wanted the items back. She took
a few of the items and left, he added.
Wilson was unavailable for com
ment Thursday.
Stroud said on Feb. 3 he placed
the bag in front of Friend’s door in
Mosher Hall.
“I thought I might get in trouble
for something I didn’t do,” Stroud
said.
Skladal said he has many ques
tions about the way the case is being
handled and has hired Bryan attor
ney Keith Swim to represent him in
an appeal if it is necessary.
Stroud said he has heard rumors
that Friend and others have a per
sonal grudge against Skladal and
this might be one of the reasons they
were recharged.
“The only way they can get to him
(Skladal) is through me,” Stroud
said.
Skladal claims Friend and Turn
bough are harassing him. Skladal is
currently on hall probation and
thinks Friend is trying to use the in
cident to get him evicted from his
dorm.
Friend was unavailable for com
ment after repeated attempts to
reach her.
Senate aims for head start on tax proposo
AUSTIN (AP) — Trying to get
a head start on any tax proposal,
the Senate was briefed Thursday
by State Comptroller Bob Bullock
and his staff and named a sub
committee to begin hearings.
Although the Texas Constitu
tion requires tax bills to originate
in the House, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby'
said the Senate “can consider a
resolution embodying the same
subject matter.”
“This simply compresses the proc
ess so the Senate can go through the
hearing process before the tax bill
actually gets over,” Hobby told re
porters.
Sen. Bob Glasgow, D-Stephen-
ville, will serve as chairman of the
subcommittee, which also will in
clude Sens. Grant Jones, D-Abilene;
Roy Blake, D-Nacogdoches; Hugh
Parmer, D-Fort Worth; Bob McFar
land, R-Arlington; Richard Ander
son, D-Marshall; and Tati Santieste-
ban, D-El Paso.
Glasgow said the subcommittee
would meet next Thursday through
Saturday to hear from business, in
dustry and individuals.
He said the goal is to get away
from constant financial crises, and
establish “some kind of tax policy”
that will carry the state through at
least the next 10 years.
Bullock’s proposal, which was
made public Feb. 12, voul:
duce the state sales tax fron
percent to 4.5 percembiit
the tax to services paidforb,
tomers, such as legal fets,
“More than 50 penent d
purchases in Texas
made by service conpa!
which pay 5 percent olibe
tax — tell me that's quital.
Bullock said.
Sculpture
(Continued from page 1)
can find its way into a Bert Long cre
ation. But somehow, all these objects
relate to each other in intriguing
ways, held together by the artist’s
unmistakable gift for telling stories
through pictures and objects.
Each work is one chapter in an
endless, unified tale. Sometimes hu
morous, sometimes horrifying, it is
the story of the artist’s view of life,
with strong themes of pain, suffer
ing and death throughout.
The Houston-born artist is just
now beginning to get the attention
that he’s been after for decades.
Long’s schedule has grown increas
ingly hectic over the past four years.
He’s done six major exhibitions in
the last month, including one in Pa
ris titled “Cinq x Cinq, Five Painters
from Houston” in which he sold
four of the five paintings he entered
in the show.
“It’s real strange,” he said. “The
place you get recognized last is in
your own hometown. Texas is pros
pering — I’ve had a lot of shows in
Texas, but nothing would happen.”
But the resident of Sheperd said
now he’s starting to get his first se
rious attention in his homestate.
“It gets to be crazy,” he said about
his hectic life of late. “I was busy last
night (Tuesday) until 10:00 trying to
get this huge piece installed for the
Texas Sculpture Symposium in San
Antonio.
“It’s still not installed! I’ve got it
ropped up . . . I’ve got to go back to
an Antonio the day after I finish
here and work on it.”
But unlike his half-finished, hy
dro-stone sculpture in San Antonio,
an ice sculpture can’t be put on hold
or dallied over and Long said he
likes the immediacy of this peculiar
form.
“There’s an unbelievable number
of problems that come up while I’m
doing a piece,” Long said of his ice
sculpture. “All these things are flash
ing through my mind:
“I see a fish in a piece and I think,
‘That would be a great piece.’ But
then I think, ‘That piece is melting
— I need to do something with that
piece.’ I’ll say, ‘Great, move that
piece over here.’ Then somebody’s
about to smash his Finger — I’ll have
to help him out.
“I have to solve all these problems
as well as get something done. So it
keeps me sharp.”
Long will do his next ice sculpture
in San Antonio on March 22.
“The older I get and the more I
do this, the more nervous I get,” said
Long, who considers ice sciilji
performance as well as aim
dium. “You get tobeageMn
realize there’s a lot you don!a
he said.
The ice used in Long’s
is manufactured in comms
houses, few of which have03
colored ice before. It come!:
(xmnd blocks via refrigerate
and in the case of his AM
ture, it came all the way fra
dena, on the far side of Hois
Long said he never endni
exactly the colors heexpeffii
joys hieing surprised witht
ends up with.
“I’ll ask them for cettaiii
and they’ll bring theirinteiyt
of, say, green," he said. - !

or it might be a bright gretrii
