Danish traveler to show picture essay
“American Pictures,” a multi-
media show of a Danish vaga
bond’s journey through Ameri
ca’s underclass, will oe shown
tonight in Rudder Theater at
6:30.
The show is a controversial pic
ture essay created by Jacob Holdt,
a young Danish citizen who cap
tured the richest and poorest
parts of America on film over a
five-year period.
Holdt redesigned his photos
for large screens, put them to
narration and music and formed
a non-profit, traveling organiza
tion under the same name as the
program.
American Pictures’ visit to
Texas A&M is sponsored by MSC
Great Issues.
Holdt presents his show in per
son and usually mingles with the
audience during intermission. He
encourages open discussions
about issues such as racism and
poverty, which are visualized in
the first part of his presentation.
As a foreigner, Holdt analyzes
both black and white
relationships in the ’80s.
Holdt designed the program to
give his audiences an objective,
yet oppressive look at what some
may call “the other side of Ameri
ca.” He claims to have traveled
over 100,000 miles to get these
pictures.
While traveling, he lived in
more than 400 homes — from
those of the poorest Southern
sharecroppers to those of Ameri
ca’s wealthiest families.
This year the program will be
presented at schools around the
country, including Harvard,
Brown and Berkeley.
The film portion of the presen
tation was selected as outstanding
film of the year by the London
Film Festival.
Admission to “American Pic
tures” is $ 1.
Great Issues will provide a foi-
low-up discussion Tuesday at 8
a.m. in 026 MSC.

DALLAS (AP) — After legislation
deregulated thrifts, the industry
went on a three-year tear that could
take as much as $60 billion and a de
cade to clean up, the Dallas Morning
News reported Sunday.
Since 1984, 134 savings associa
tions have been closed and liqui
dated or placed in consignment pro
grams. Another 74 have merged
into healthier financial institutions.
Currently 387 more are carried as
operating but insolvent, the News
reported in a copyright story.
President Reagan signed the
Garn-St. Germain Depository Insti
tutions Act on Oct. 15, 1982. The
legislation aimed to solve savings in
stitutions’ problems by a dramatic fi
nancial system deregulation.
But in Texas, Arizona, Florida,
California and other states where lo
cal laws had anticipated Garn-St.
Germain, there was a three-year
binge of reckless lending, wholesale
speculation and outright fraud, the
News said.
The federally-insured thrifts
bankrupted the nation’s deposit in
surance funds, the newspaper said.
From 1983 to 1986, an estimated
$28 billion disappeared from the na
tion’s thrift season. More than 10
percent of that total is believed at
tributable to corruption and fraud.
In Texas, 46 percent of the state’s
281 thrifts are technically insolvent
Its thrifts hold more than 40 percem
of the nation’s $17.08 billion repos
sessed thrift assets.
Federal regulators say cleaning up
the five-year savings and loan mess
could take as much as $60 billion |
and a decade to achieve.
“We gave thrifts all the tools ofde
regulation, but we forgot about the ’ T1
(federal deposit) insurance,” said ^ K)
Thomas P. Vartanian, a former Fed- p P
eral Home Loan Bank Board coun-
selor who helped write much of the 1:251
deregulating legislation. “We dereg- T1
ulated, but we didn’t deregulate ^'
enough.” ^ sc
Through a combination of re- * lnce
laxed standards, bad legislation and
disastrous competition between state P* 3 )' 1
and federal regulators, risk-taking
entrepreneurs were able to siphon
billions of no-risk dollars from tht
savings industry before government
perceived the problem.
Plane crash
(Continued from page I)
Altizer and Largent said they
were about 2,500 feet down the run
way from the plane when the crash
occurred.
“They made a go-around about
50 feet above the runway, then
banked right,” Altizer said. “They
passed right over us. When they got
past the other end of the runway,
they made a right base, which is the
last step before final approach for
landing.
“He just kept turning steeper and
steeper. That’s when he hit the
power line.”
Largent, who has a private pilot’s
license, said it looked like Clark
turned too soon.
“He never got 100 yards past the
runway,” Largent said. “He was cut
ting it too close. He never got di
rectly facing the runway.”
The two men started running to
ward the plane when they heard the
impact. Both said they saw the two
portions of the split power line
“shorting each other out/’ After Lar
gent called 911, they drove to the
crash.
“Right as we got there, Travis was
getting out of the plane,” Altizer
said. “Then a passer-by helped Mark
out. There were a lot of people al
ready there; it was very overcrow
ded.”
Largent said he then called the
Montgomery County Flight Service
Station so a “notice to airmen” could
be sent to warn other pilots. The air- |
port didn’t close.
The two employees weren’t re
quired to stay at the airport while the |
Cessna was in the air, Largent said.
“We were on our way out the door [
when Mark mentioned they were [
going to take the plane up,” Largent
said. “We weren’t hanging out just I
because he was in the air. We were [
looking at some stuff down the run- t
way. No one would have been there I
if we hadn’t just decided to hang
around.”
Altizer said Clark did not tell
them he intended to fly the plane
when he first arrived at the airport.
“He and Travis just came in and
started talking to us,” he said. “He
didn’t mention flying at first. We
were all walking out the door (of the
terminal) as a group — Chris and 1
were getting ready to leave — and
we started talking about the 140. .
Then they said they were taking it
up.”
Taylor said Clark was “the least
likely to get himself in this sort of
preaicament.”
“He is a really nice young man,” \
be said. “This is so totally out of cha- :
racter.”
Taylor said his airplane was in
mint condition before the crash.
“It was the most beautiful little ;
plane,” he said. “It had been babied |
and cared for by every owner it’s |
ever had. Even the owners’ manual
didn’t have one torn page.”
Collision
(Continued from page 1)
New Braunsfels, and his wife,
Valaree Marbach, were not in
jured and were released at the
scene, he said.
Eldredge was the investigat
ing officer at the scene and pro
vided a press release with details
of the accident.
At around 5:40 p.m. Hicks
was driving his pickup truck
southbound and lost control of
the truck because of rainy
weather conditions and swerved
into the northbound lane, El
dredge said.
Lhornton’s car, a 1982
Honda, collided with the truck
and Thornton was killed in
stantly in the crash, Eldredge
said.
As the cars separated from
the impact, Marbach, also driv
ing in the northbound lane, at
tempted to maneuver the 1984
Mobile Travel motor home
through the open space between
the separated vehicles, Eldredge
said.
Marbach was unable to avoid
the collision with Thornton’s
Honda, Eldredge said.
