Cyndi Krier, R-San Antonio, who of fered two measures she said were sparked by national and state efforts to curb smoking. Krier’s bill would raise the permis sible age for sale or delivery of to bacco products to a minor from 16 to 18 years old. But the measure fell four votes shy of the 25 needed to bring it up for debate. A second bill by Krier to strengthen restrictions against smok ing in elevators passed 29-1 and was sent to the House. If adopted, the measure would end requirements that elevators have “no smoking” signs and provide ash trays outside to snuff out tobacco products. She said both bills were approved by the American Cancer Society. Krier said the main purpose of raising the legal age for possession of tobacco products was to stop ciga rette companies from giving free cigarettes to youngsters. Waldo by Kevin Thoi? GOD HAS ORDERED WUBUR TO RAISE A MILLION DOLLARS, SO t-IE TRIES THE AIRPORT... GOD NEEDS WANNA BUY YOUR MONEY. A-FLOWERT WYLBUR GETS HEPT local CONVEMEN 4 people charged with laundering $100,001 WASHINGTON (AP) — A for mer official of a Mexican bank and three Texans were indicted in Hous ton on Tuesday and charged with laundering $100,000 in violation of federal currency laws, a Justice De partment official said. The grand jury indictment said the defendants “engaged in a scheme to provide money laun dering services by concealing the true nature and ownership of cur rency used in bank transactions over $100,000.” Attorney General Edwin Meese III said the indictment was returned under seal on Jan. 9 and was un sealed Tuesday in federal court in Houston. U.S. Attorney Henry K. Oncken said one of the defendants, Samuel Garcia, 48, was the branch manager of a Mexican bank in Matamoros at the time of the offense. The bank was not identified in the Justice De partment news release. The other defendants charged in the indictment are Guillermo Vega, 38, an attorney in Brownsville; Den nis Bara, 45, a Houston business man; and Joe Garcia, 30, an accoun tant living in Houston. The case was developed by the Organized Crime Drug Enforce ment Task Force Program, which fo cuses federal resources against ma jor drug traffickers and money launderers, and was conducted by the Internal Revenue Service with help from the Seabrook Police De partment in Seabrook, Texas. The scheme involved the cash purchase of a $100,000 cashier’s check from a bank in Brownsville by Samuel Garcia, who was to falsely represent that the transaction was on behalf of the bank he managed, according to the indictment. “In this way, any currency trans action report . . . filed by the Texas bank would not reflect the true owner of the currency,” the indict ment said. Currency reports axe re quired by law for all cash trans actions over $ 10,000. “Defendant Joe Garcia prepared a false promissory note which pur ported to show the $100,000 cash ier’s check to be proceeds of a loan from a Mexican national and thus not income properly taxable by the United States government.” Vega collected a 14 percent, or $14,000, fee, which he divided among the other defendants, the in dictment alleged. sons with large amountsofi Ik* laundered, according i dictmenl.

Dr. Robert Ghenoweth, who chaired the Calendar Subcommit tee, said the president’s plan can not be considered a failure as long as graduates continue to get signed diplomas at commence ment. “We felt our report was a rea sonable alternative to extreme positions,” Ghenoweth said. “What the president chose was a different compromise.” Ghenoweth admits he never spoke with the president about the work the suncommittee was doing and never heard from him after the report was released, but he doesn’t consider that unusual. “I’m so far removed from the president that I don’t call him to ask questions,” he said. “It’s really not surprising that we didn’t hear from him, though, because Cal endar was a subcommittee, and it’s not the job of a subcommittee to track a plan beyond a certain point.” But a source within the sub committee said the president’s plan inadequately handles certain problems, including the dormi tory situation (keeping them open and having time to clean them between semesters), and the inactivity of the campus at com mencement. The source also objects to the fact that a class day is lost under the president's plan, as well as a week of some labs, and claims the president has no plan at all to handle summer commencement. Repeated attempts to reach Vandiver for comment were un successful. Associate Provost Gaston is currently working with the instal lment phase of the president’s plan and said the president lis tened to all sides of the issue and picked the one he agreed with most. “The Student Senate was not ignored,” Gaston said. “If he lis tened more to the Faculty Senate, it’s because they’re advisers to the president. “But the Faculty Senate didn’t get what it wanted. The Aca demic Operations Committee didn’t get what it wanted. Nobody really got their way on this one.” Dr. John Koldus, vice presi dent for student services, said the Student Senate and Faculty Sen ate are supposed to lie on equal levels of advisory capacity to the president. Dingmore agreed with Koldus on the intended role of the stu dent and faculty senates, but said that’s not the way things operate in practice.
