Six plead innocence in fraud case DALLAS (AP) — Six people, in cluding a multimillionaire devel oper, pleaded innocent Wednesday before a federal judge in connection with an alleged conspiracy to de fraud five savings and loan associa tions in two states through a network of fraudulent land and construction loans. D.L. “Danny” Faulkner, well known for his political connections and flamboyant lifestyle, was ar raigned with the five others before U.S. District Judge Joe Fish. Faulkner was among seven men indicted last week by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy and fraud in the widespread investiga tion of savings and loan assocations in Texas and Arkansas. Prosecutors said the investigation uncovered a series of fradulent land loans that put millions of dollars in the pockets of defendants. The 88-count indictment alleged fraud, conspiracy and racketeering in a $500 million plot to defraud five savings and loans associations through a network of fraudulent land and construction loans, primar ily for a string of condominium de velopments near Lake Ray Hubbard in Garland. James L. Toler, a former Garland mayor, also appeared before Fish. Also arraigned were Spencer H. Blain Jr., 51, of Dallas, former chair man of Empire Savings; and Ken neth Earl Cansler, 40, a real estate salesman. Paul Arlin Jensen, 38, of Ogden, Utah, a former mortgage broker and later chairman of Lancaster First Federal Savings and Loan was also indicted. But Jensen did not ap pear before Fish on Wednesday. The judge said Jensen had a scheduling conflict and would ap pear before him in the next week or two. Indicted for conspiracy, but not included in the racketeering charge, were real estate appraisers Arthur G. Formann, 58, ana Paul D. Tanne- hill, 39. Both were arraigned before Fish.

Prepared by: CharlieBrc Staff Meieorw Aft:M Department of Meteord Officials search for housing to overcome dorm shoriao By Tracy Hamm Reporter tained of about 7 percent seniors, 17 Texas A&M officials are search ing for a solution to the on-campus housing shortage caused by an addi- tonal 4,500 freshman dorm applica tions, but changing upperclassmen priority for resident halls will not be considered as an alternative. Freshman applications increased to almost 7,000 this year, John White, housing services supervisor, said. Even though the number of up perclassman requests did not in crease considerably, the upperclass men had priority over the incoming freshmen, White said. The number of freshman appli cants for housing had been decreas ing in previous years, so no one was prepared for the boom. White said. Fifty-five percent of the 7,495 fresh men received campus housing, he said. Changing the policy of upper classman privileges for on-campus housing will not be considered as a solution to the freshman housing problem. “Upperclassmen serve as a stabi lizing influence in the dorms,” White said. Consequently, a balance is main- . . 'p; percent juniors, 29 percent sopho mores and 46 percent freshmen. White said. He attributes part of the housing problem to the loss of 445 Corps dorm spaces, which are being reno vated. Because Corps members are guar anteed on-campus housing, the ex tra rooms on the Quadrangle, which previously were available to female civilians, now are occupied by cadets. Fewer female freshmen received room assignments this year. Freshman general studies major Sheri Henry said, “My mother and I both thought it would be good for me to live on campus.” Henry had number 3,080 in the housing lottery, but only 1,331 fe male freshmen receivea dorm as signments. Henry’s mother, Juanita Henry, said she felt her daughter would he more secure and become more in volved in campus activities if she lived on campus Ann Quigley, a freshman general studies major, thought she also would benefit by living on campus. “1 wanted to meet people, and I thought it would be more conve nient,” she said. But, instead of waiting until mid summer to see if she wouldrw space, Quigley signed a lease! apartment in May.

Superintendent Linus Wright had heard from U.S. Education Depart ment officials earlier Wednesday and expected the nomination by President Reagan for the post, according to school system officials. “It is a great honor to be accepting this (nomination),” Wright said at a press conference. “I do have some thing to offer to the department. I am one of the few public administra tors in the department.” Wright said he hoped to interact with other education administrators, many of whom are attorneys. “I was elated to have heard it (the news of the nomination),” he said. He said he was looking forward to working with Reagan in improving education on a nationwide basis. DISD spokesman Larry Ascough said the nomination was not unex pected. “The school system is honored that our superintendent has been nominated,” Ascough said. “We are v^ry proud of that and are especially pleased to have a friend in Washington,” he said. “He is not leading an active life in educa tion just in Dallas anymore; instead, schools across the nation will share his talents.” Another district spokesman said, “They’ve been assuring him all along that he would be nominated. The word was that he was selected to he undersecretary of education and that all that remained was the nomi nation.” .( The White House on Wednesday announced that Reagan would nom inate Wright but issued no other statement. Wright, 60, has two children and lives in Dallas. Wright has been supervisor of the Dallas Independent School District since 1978. Prior to that he was su pervisor of administration with the Houston Independent School Dis trict from 1974 through 1978. He also served as chief financial officer of the Houston district from 1971 to 1974.
