Mayor's race goes partisan in Dallas for runoff election DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas may or’s race traditionally is a nonparti san affair, but it took a partisan turn when Annette Strauss and Fred Meyer won spots in an April 18 run off. * Strauss, the mayor pro tem and sister-in-law of former Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss, won more than 40 percent of the vote Saturday in her bid to become the first woman mayor of the na tion’s seventh-largest city. Meyer, for seven years the Dallas County Republican Chairman and a force in planning the 1984 national GOP convention here, had just over 26 percent of the vote in beating out two other major candidates for the runoff spot. Strauss said, “I would hope it would remain nonpartisan but 1 would think that the probability, of it becoming more partisan is very likely. I know I have Republican support as well as Democratic.” Meyer, who resigned from his job as president of Dallas-based Tyler Corp. to run for mayor full-time, said he is confident of victory in the runoff. “More than 50 percent of the peo ple did not vote for her (Strauss), so the election is out there to be won,” Meyer said. “I expect to get over 50 percent of the vote (on April 18.) I am ready today to take my 34 years of real business experience and con tribute it to the citizens of Dallas.” Elsewhere in Texas, San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, a 39-year- old Hispanic considered to have a bright future in national Democratic politics, handily won re-election to a fourth two-year term in the nation’s lOth-largest city. Also winning re-election was three-term Mayor Jonathan Rogers of El Paso, who had a closer than ex pected challenge. In Corpus Christi, former mayor pro tem Betty Turner and Tony Bo nilla, ex-president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, won spots in a runoff in the mayor’s race. Turner would be the first woman and Bonilla the first His panic mayor in the Gulf Coast city. The town of Buffalo Gap voted to continue its 21-year tradition as a West Texas watering hole, voting 3- to-1 to continue alcohol sales. And Crystal Beach on the coast voted to stop being an incorporated entity. In Dallas, Strauss, 63, had 48,077 votes, or 43.12 percent, in unofficial returns. The 59-year-old Meyer had 29,379, or 26.35 percent. Evangelist says prayer vigil nearly ended with death ROCKWALL (AP) — Evangelist Oral Roberts on Sunday said he came close to death while on a 10- day prayer vigil to raise more than $8 million for a medical missionary program following a controversial television appeal. In his first sermon since ending the vigil Tuesday at the Oral Roberts University prayer tower in Tulsa, Okla., Roberts offered details on the trials and tribulations he says he went through under an ultimatum from God that Roberts either raise the money or lose his life. “Two or three times, I felt death on me,” Roberts told a capacity crowd at a service dedicating the new 5,001-seat Church on the Rock that cost $ 15 million to build. “I felt the devil was trying to de stroy my life,” he said. The 69-year-old charismatic evan gelist said he lost weight during the experience, and prayed so long over more than 1 million prayer requests that he nearly lost his voice. “I fought in that prayer tower with powers and principalities and powers of darkness,” Roberts said. “It was like a howling hurricane was sweeping in from a spiritual standpoint, and my body was being buffeted,” he said. In January, Roberts told a na tional television audience that God had spoken to him and told him he would die if he did not raise $8 mil lion for the scholarship fund by Tuesday, March 31. On Wednesday, Roberts said he had received about $8.7 million in donations, an amount he said he needs to come up with each year to fund the medical missionaries who study at his Tulsa medical school. During one point in his 10-day vigil, “I heard this voice and the voice said, ‘God’s not nervous,’ ” Roberts told the church congrega tion Sunday. “And I spoke up and I said, ‘I sure am.’ ” GENERAL STUDIES STUDENTS Students planning to pre-register for the Fall 1987 semester can begin making appointments with academic advisors beginning April 6, in Room 10.3 Academic Bldg.
