AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Comp
troller Bob Bullock on Wednesday
stepped up warnings that lawmakers
should not count on a state lottery to
solve their budget problems.
Bullock said new lotteries started
in other states experienced longer-
than-expected start-up times. His
projections show a Texas game gen
erating less money initially than
some reports indicate.
Bullock said -it is unlikely that a
lottery, if the Legislature decides to
create one, would raise more than
about 10 percent of the money
needed to wipe out a projected state
deficit of $5.8 billion over the next
2!/2 years.
In a letter to Rep. Ron Wilson, D-
Houston, Bullock said he is con
cerned by some news reports that
have indicated a state-run lottery
game could generate $700 million
over the next two years.
Bullock said he has prepared sev
eral estimates on how much a lottery
possibly could raise in the 1988 and
1989 budget years, but “none of the
’88-89 numbers match the $700 mil
lion cited,” he said.
In five estimates prepared for va
rious possibilities — depending on
what kinds of games were started
and how quickly — the most profit
projected for 1988-89 was $381.4
million.
“There is no way to certify when a
(lottery) commission would make the
kind of decisions necessary to get a
lottery in operation — or what kind
of decisions they would make with
respect to the game,” Bullock
warned.
The state’s 1988 budget year be
gins Sept. 1. Bullock noted that seve
ral other states which have started
lotteries have experienced delays in
getting their games rolling.
“The experience of other states
shows it has been the rule, not the
exception, for start-ups to take
longer than had been envisioned,”
Bullock said.
Former jurors
of murder trial
enjoy reunion
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jurors
in the Autumn Hills nursing home
murder trial gathered Wednesday
on the anniversary of the conclusion
of the marathon case and reminisced
about the friendships they formed.
A year ago Wednesday, a mistrial
de ' - - -
was declared after jurors deadlocked
9-3 for conviction for the Texas City
nursing home and five of its exec
utives.
It was the first time that a cor
poration had been indicted for mur
der.
The case took $1 million to pros
ecute and $3 million to defend.
Some of the jurors gathered
Wednesday night in a downtown
bookstore and posed for photo
graphs together and with Steven
Long, a Galveston author who has
written “Death Without Dignity,”
which chronicles the problems and
the trial.
Ugly tales of patient abuse and ex
haustive nursing home rebuttal kept
jurors in session for six grueling
months before then-State District
Judge Don Morgan declared the
mistrial.
The defendants in the trial were
charged with causing the deaths of
Edna Mae Witt in October 1978 and
Elnora Breed in November 1978.

he agreed to stop selling them.”
Council members admitted they
were aware their original permit did
not include permission to sell the
shirts, but said historically the Con
cessions Committee was not partic
ular about the technicalities of the
permits they issued, and they’d as
sumed that would be the case this
time as well.
Jo Hudson, Concessions Commit
tee chairman, admitted that it was
possible that infractions of the rules

council’s next move was to apply for
a permit to sell T-shirts. As the advi
sor to Student Government, Adair
had to approve the application be
fore it could be passed on for the ap
proval of the supervisor of the area
of the MSC where the shirts would
have been sold.
At that time Adair said she was
not sure she’d approve the sale, add
ing she had “a call out” to Meneg-
hetti to discuss the issue later that af
ternoon.
“I’m not sure that the shirts are
really tasteful, or that it’s a good idea
for them to be selling them at this
time,” Adair said.
Meneghetti and Adair give differ
ent versions of the actual content of
the meeting.

Meneghetti said, “I was told we
will no longer be allowed to sell the

was her decision. I think it came
from much higher up.”
Adair denied that, insisting the
choice was completely hers. She said,

“Besides having a desire to help
