ban on court
disclosures
AUSTIN (AP) — The House ten
tatively approved Tuesday, without
debate, a bill making it a felony to
knowingly disclose prematurely the
contents of an appellate court deci
sion or opinion.
A final vote is needed in the
House.
The measure, by Rep. John Smi-
thee, R-Amarillo, was amended by
Smithee to provide that a violation
must be “knowingly and deliberate.”
There was no discussion or debate
of the bill before the voice vote.
The bill was introduced after pub
lished reports several months ago
that some Texas Supreme Court de
cisions were leaked to attorneys
prior to their official release in the
courtroom. Smithee’s bill would add
the offense to a present provision
that makes it a third-degree felony
for public servants to use unreleased
official information for their own
good or for others.
Punishment could be two to 10
years imprisonment and a fine up to
$5,000.

Blood drive hits A&M early

“Donate before you vacate,” this
semester’s blood drive theme, is an
attempt to get students to give blood
before they leave for spring break,
Tonja Scheer, blood drive co-chair
man for Omega Phi Alpha, said.
The catchy phrase is based on the
theory that students return from
their spring break more physically
drained than they were before the
break. And for many students, the
eight remaining weeks of school are
too hectic for benevolence of donat-

Unmarried graduate students may rent
apartments in Married Student Housing
By Jade Boyd
Reporter
Unmarried graduate students re
cently have become eligible to live in
University-owned apartments —
more commonly known as Married
Student Housing.
John M. Sodolak, manager of
Married Student Housing, says the
idea was first discussed in Fall 1985,
and in Spring 1986 the first single
graduate students began moving
into the apartments. Of the 709
apartments owned by the University,
121 are now occupied by one or
more single graduate students.
Prices for the apartments range
from $165 per month for a one-bed
room apartment to $260 per month
for a two-bedroom apartment.
Each apartment is leased from the
University by an individual student,
and the University deals only with
that student, Sodolak says. The Uni
versity limits the number of people
living in a single apartment to two,
but any person in a graduate degree-
producing program is eligible to live
in the apartments.
“We’re currently placing appli
cants who applied last October,” he
says, “so there is approximately a
four-and-a-half-month waiting list.”
Response to the new program has
been good, and there have been no
complaints from either married or
