Fraternity members to take
action against vandalism
By Todd Riemenschneider
Reporter
Vandalism at the fraternity house
construction site near Wellborn
Road has fraternity members and
the project’s developers fuming, and
measures are being taken to prevent
further damage at the site.
College Station Police will be
watching the site more frequently
and Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity
members obtained a key to the con
struction trailer so they can keep an
eye on their house, said Vince Pala-
sota, president of Alpha Gamma
Rho.
The construction site on Frater
nity Row Drive, near the Southwood
Valley subdivision, was vandalized in
two separate incidents.
An architect’s sign and about
1,000 bricks were stolen from the
site Oct. 3, said Larry McClure, su
perintendent for Bill Tap Construc
tion. In the second incident on Oct.
5, he said several windows were bro
ken and sheet rock was damaged in
the AGR fraternity house, the first
j to be built at the site.
“This is not going to set us back,”
’fie said. “It is just a pain to replace.”
Bill Tap, owner of Bill Tap Con-
stuction, said the damages to the fra
ternity house are estimated to be
around $1,000.
Also vandalized was the devel
oper’s billboard, valued at $750,
which was cut down with a chainsaw,
said W.D. Fitch, president of the
Area Progress Corp. He said street
signs at the subdivison have been
knocked over numerous times.
“I’m prepared to offer a reward
for any information about who is
doing this, provided it is verifiable
and results in a conviction,” Fitch
said.
Pete Normand, vice president of
APC, said, “This is what happens
when a development is dealing with
less mature people. In other situa
tions this would not have happened.
When dealing with a college situa
tion, a person can expect some of
this to happen.”
As developer of the subdivision,
APC is ready to prosecute to the full
extent of the law whoever did the
vandalizing.
“It is unfortunate that people
have to break the law, but we want to
put the word out that the site will be
watched and the next time the peo
pie will be caught,” Normand said.
Lt. Bernie Kapella of the College
Station Police Department said dam
ages up to $750 are classified as a
Class C misdemeanor. The punish
ment is a $2000 Fine and/or up to
one year in jail. Kapella said any
amount between $750 and $20,000
would be a third-degree felony and
would have a punishment of a
$5,000 fine and/or not more than 10
years and not less than two years in
the Texas Department of Correc
tions.
Dr. Ronald Richter, faculty ad
viser for the fraternity, said, “I think
it is unfortunate that the vandalism
happened to us, but if it happened
to a home owner it would still be
vandalism. Vandalism is vandalism.
We have no idea who did it, but it is
an immature act.”
Palasota said the membership is
upset about what happened to the
$750,000 house.
“I can understand pranks, but I
cannot see an excuse for the destruc
tion of private property,” he said.

Rule change
forces team
to forfeit games
DALLAS (AP) — A suburban
peewee football team has gone
from the league’s powerhouse to
its doormat because of a rule
adults made when the team’s star
player moved.
Nobody could beat the Bull
dogs of the Mesquite Peewee
Football Association when they
had 12-year-old Brian “KeKe”
Jackson at quarterback.
But last week, the league’s
board determined that Jackson
was ineligible to play for the Bull
dogs because his family had
moved out of the team’s district in
August, before the season
opened.
Each team in the association
represents a district in Mesquite,
and a player is required to live
within his team’s district.
In an instant, the team’s record
zent from 6-0 to 0-6. Then, with-
ut Jackson, the team lost its last
game 20-0.
I felt real bad,” said Jackson, a
speedy seventh-grader who
dreams of playing for the Chi
cago Bears. “This was my last
year in the league and our goal
Was to go all the way.”
1 A group of parents has ap
pealed the league’s decision to
sideline Jackson and force the
team to forfeit its six wins.

Border Patrol to add
new offices, agents
in Southern Region
McALLEN (AP) — In an effort to
slow the flow of illegal drugs and
aliens, the U.S. Border Patrol is
moving ahead with plans to add new
offices and hundreds of additional
agents in its 13-state Southern Re
gion, officials said Tuesday.
The greatest expansion in Texas
will be the incorporation of hun
dreds of miles of coast line the Bor
der Patrol seldom watches into the
McAllen sector.
“Our geographical area is going to
be enlarged by about 100 percent,”
said Jerry L. Hicks, deputy chief pa
trol agent for the McAllen sector.
The sector will double from nine
to 18 counties with the plan and will
include Corpus Christi, where a new
Border Patrol station will open soon,
officials said.
have* approval to
said Paul Berg, the
assistant regional
commissioner.
He said although it has not been
formalized on paper, the region’s
expansion plan has the approval of
officials in Washington, and “we’re
going forward as if it had been ap
proved.”
The 140 agents to be added to the
McAllen sector over the next two
years are among 900 the Border Pa-
“We already
start the station,’
Border Patrol’s
trol will add in the region during
that period. The southern region
stretches from New Mexico to North
Carolina.
Its El Paso sector, which includes
New Mexico, will add 240 new posi
tions over the next two years. New
stations also are likely, he said, but
locations have not been determined.
The New Orleans sector, which
stretches northward to Oklahoma,
and the Miami sector will add a total
of 45 new agents, Berg said.
The cost of the expansion is not
yet known, he said.
Extra personnel will help the
agency focus better on enforcing the
Immigration Reform and Control
Act of 1986, tracking down criminal
aliens and stopping drug smugglers,
Berg said.
“We’re very, very heavily involved
in drug enforcement,” Berg said.
Officials have reported a shift in
drug trafficking from Florida to
Texas in the past few years. Much of
the traffic enters along the cohst,
Hicks said, adding that the Border
Patrol’s coverage of beach areas is
“almost non-existent.”
“That will be the primary function
of the Corpus Christi station,” Hicks
said.
