Smith to head
Bush campaign
in local area
Bring i
State Rep. Richard Smith en
dorses Vice President George Bush
for the upcoming presidential race
and is responsible for directing
Bush’s local campaign in a six-
county area, primarily southern
Texas, Smith said Friday.
“I have been appointed to serve
on the National Steering Committee
for George Bush,” Smith said. “I also
have agreed to serve as a regional di
rector for Bush in a six-county area,
which includes Robertson, Madison,
Brazos, Grimes, Leon and Mont
gomery Counties.”
Smith will appoint chairmen from
each of the six counties to help him
in his campaign work, he said.
Smith said Bush is the most qual
ified candiate of all the Republicans
running.
“Vice President Bush is the only
candidate in the race who has expe
rience not only in foreign affairs,
through his ambassadorships and
through his United Nations work,
but he also has inside information
and experience in the area of na
tional security, which is a very im
portant Field for a president, as re
cent events have shown us,” he said.
Smith’s First task is to get enough
signatures on a petition to have
Bush’s name put on the March 8 Re
publican primary ballot, he said.
“We are not looking at any Demo
cratic opposition at this point," he
said. “Our goal is, as Jackie Sherrill
said, ‘to win them one at a time.’ Our
first goal is to win the primary.”

Women get chance
to ask men for date
in 'Switch off for kickoff
For those women at T exas A&M
who have their eye on a certain male
Aggie but don’t want to break tradi
tional sex roles and ask him out, the
A&M Traditions Council is offering
them the opportunity this week.
Sponsoring an event known as
“Switch off for kickoff,” the council
is urging Aggie women to take the
initiative and ask a guy to the Oct. 31
A&M-Louisiana Tech University
football game. To enhance the role
reversal, the council will sell bouton
nieres at the MSC this week for the
women to buy for their dates.
In its sixth year, the switch-off
game could be considered an Aggie
tradition. If boutonniere sales in the
past are an indication of partici
pation in the switch-off event,b
A&M women aren’t afraid to give
a try, council chairman MikeDnr,
cek said.
Dvo racek said if couples want
carry on the role reversal for dies
tire weekend they should feel fret
do so. T he council didn't plains
other activities to go along with,
switch off, though, because thege
is to be played on Halloween is
there will be many other ewt
going on that night, he said.
Dvoracek had some advice k
women interested in participant;
the event.
“They better ask quick; theyvtj
to pick up their tickets earlv,'
said.
Inmate dies during attemp
to escape down bed sheets
TEXARKANA, Texas (AP) — A
Bowie County prisoner who tried to
climb down the Bi-State Justice
id
Building on bed sheets died after
falling to the pavement, authorities
said Sunday.
A second inmate from Miller
County, Ark., broke both legs when
he fell during the escape at about 8
p.m. Saturday, said Sgt. Bob Page of
the Miller County Sheriffs Depart
ment.
Don Johnson, a Texarkana, Ark.,
policeman, said it appeared that the
sheets separated, plunging the pris
oners to the ground.
Page said names of the prisoners
would not be released until their rel
atives are notified.
Sheriff Thomas Hodge said the
prisoner who died was being held on
a burglary charge and recently had
been returned to Bowie County on a
warrant.
Miller County authorities said the
injured prisoner was arrested in
Fouke, Ark., on charges of disor
derly conduct, hot checks, fleeing a
police officer and felony theft.
Prisoners from both counties are
housed at the jail, which straddles
the Arkansas-Texas line.
Hodge said the prisoners appar
ently had forced open a fourth-floor
window to escape. Authorities did
not know

Police suspend officer
for ‘being a dummy,’
not getting job done
DALLAS (AP) — A traffic officer
was suspended after only four days
on the job for being a dummy who
didn’t get the job done, police said.
Recruited from the Dallas Police
Department’s corps of first-aid man
nequins, the officer sat quietly in a
parked patrol car as a speeding de
terrent. Motorists weren’t fooled.
“They were slowing down, but as
soon as they got past, they figured
the danger was over,” Capt. W.R.
Patterson of the traffic division said.
Dallas City Councilman John
Evans suggested the ploy and the de
partment used it in three locations
last week.
“Every time I see a police car, I
slow down,” Evans said.
Evans figured the dummy officer
would be cheaper than the real thing
and have the same effect.
But Patterson is not so sure. Mo
torcycle officers waiting down the
street had to issue 91 citations before
they convinced the speeders the
dummy was serious, he said.
The mannequin did catch motor
ists’ attention, Patterson said.
“One woman circled it three
times,” he said. “I expected someone
to call in and complain he wouldn’t
talk or wave, but that didn’t hap
pen.”
Police are contemplating a second
chance for the dummy, but will wait
until its fame dims before putting it
back on the streets, Patterson said.
Arlington police tried a version of
the idea in 1986, but met with little
success.
The Arlington department
parked an empty patrol car along
several city streets, and the number
of accidents seemed to drop, police
Lt. Travis Moore said. But the pro
ject wasted valuable time, he said. “It
became a headache getting the cars
out to the locations, set them up and
bring them back in,” Moore said.
