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.

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

School officials say
Dallas superintendent
nominated for post
DALLAS (AP) — The outgoing
superintendent of the Dallas Inde
pendent School District was nomi
nated Wednesday afternoon for
U.S. Undersecretary of Education, a
school system official said.
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.
