Assistant legal adviser at A&M
enjoys job as student attorney
By Anita Anderson
Reporter
He Fights for tenants’ rights. He
handles the paperwork and fragile
emotions in divorce cases. He han
dles criminal litigation. He is Alex
Walter, an assistant legal adviser at
Texas A&M.
“The single largest category of
cases that comes through our office
is tenant-landlord disputes,” Walter
said. “These are usually settled out
of court. We send out demand let
ters (through) certified mail, return
receipt requested. The apartment
management has seven days in
which to comply or risk further legal
action, namely a lawsuit.

“If the case goes to court, a
judgment in favor of my client
would be for three times the original
deposit amount plus court costs and
legal fees. The demand letter usually
clears up the matter.”
The Office of Student’s Attorney
gives legal advice on a variety of top
ics and recommends attorneys in
private practice when necessary.
Since the office receives a portion
of its funding from the University,
the attorneys cannot represent one
student against another. To do so
would constitute a conflict of inter-
Walter, a Houston native, came to’
A&M shortly after passing the bar
exam about three years ago.
“I like it here,” he said. “Life in
College Station is not as fast-paced
or pressured as a big city. The attrac
tiveness of Houston being so close is
that it makes it easy to visit family
and friends.”
Two mounds of paperwork on
both sides of him are some indica
tion of how full his days are.
“A typical day consists of eight ap
pointments — four in the morning,
another four in the afternoon
usually lasting a half hour,” he said.
“The remainder of the day is spent
in meetings, maintaining correspon
dence with other professionals and
preparing legal drafts like petitions,
wills and affidavits.”
Walter genuinely enjoys being in
this area and has developed quite an
interest in education law, but the fu
ture holds a different goal.

In such cases, the office recom
mends another attorney not affil
iated with A&M.
The second most frequent type of
case deals with family law, usually di
vorce, Walter said.
“We see so many student divorce
cases because of the combined diffi
culties of a first marriage and going
to school,” he said. “These pressures
can make for an unbearable situa
tion.

“We can’t represent clients in di
vorce cases. If the divorce is uncon
tested and there is no community
property or children involved, we
can prepare all the necessary filing
forms. An uncontested case is
usually something the student can
do his or herself with our help,
therefore making the added ex
pense of private counsel unneces
sary.”
Walter also deals with consumer
problems such as car repair rip-offs,
auto accidents and traffic tickets,
and minor criminal matters, usually
DWI and public intoxication cases.
“The idea of student attorney ap
pealed to me,” Walter said. “Work
ing on a college campus offers the
ability to interact with different de
partments, serve on committees and
give talks to fraternities and dorms. I
wouldn’t be doing that with a law
firm.”
At A&M, Walter said, he is re
sponsible for his clients and can
usually see results right away.
“We have the ability to litigate,
which keeps this job interesting,” he
said. “We gain a great deal of nego
tiation experience.”
Being a single professional at a
university is not much different than
the single life at law school, he said.
“It’s difficult to meet people,” he
said. “You spend so much time at the
University that friendships and
relationships are likely to evolve
from the people you come in contact
with most. In law school you are
around the same group of people
for three years, so coming here from
law school is not a big transition in
that respect.”
The summer of Walter’s first year
in law school was spent as a clerk in
the Fort Bend District Attorney’s Of
fice.
“My time was totally spent putting
together a witness file for a murder
case,” he said. “I had to try and get
information on potential witnesses,
where to find them and their value
to the case.”
Walter had defined his career
choice a long time ago and remained
undaunted in his quest for his Juris
Doctor, which he received in 1983
from Texas Tech.
“I’m one of those rare people who
always knew what they wanted to
do,” he said. “I’ve known I wanted to
be a lawyer since I was about 7. I saw
the ability to use a legal education as
a way to help people.
Even though Walter believes the
public has a low opinion of the legal
profession, he realizes that senti
ment is not without basis.
“I seemed to pick a strange time to
go into law,” he said. “People look
upon defense attorneys with disdain.
They question the idea of defending
someone you know is guilty. In the
highly publicized personal-injury
cases, some lawyers end up looking
like they don’t care about people and
are only concerned with turning a
fast buck.
“An argument can be made that
the advent of lawyer advertising has
cheapened the profession. I can only
work at being my best and show peo-
-■ bad.”
"In about 10 years I can see my
self as an agent for pro athletes or as
counsel for a sports franchise," he
said. “In these Fields I can combine
my two main interests — sports and
the law.”
Volumes of the Southwest Re
porter line the entire back wall of
Walter’s Bizzell Hall office. His soft
yet assertive tone radiates sincerity,
making his interest in student prob
lems believable.
“Money is not the big thing," he
said. “Helping people means more
to me than the salary. It is more im
portant for me to enjoy what I’m
liff'
doing and to make a difference.”
pie we aren’t all 1
Walter was one of 10 recipients of
the 1986 President’s Meritorious
Award. The award, which had just
been created, is given to staff mem
bers voted best in their work for the
University and other poople. Per
sonality and attitude are also main
considerations for the $500 award.
Mariann Seigert, Walter’s secre
tary, describes him as hardworking,
yet easygoing.
“He tries to help people out as
much as he can, sometimes to the
p»oint of exhausting himself,” Seigert
said. “He’s the best boss I’ve ever
had. He is understanding, patient
and just super. I haven’t met anyone
who didn’t like him.”
As the sun goes down on another
day and the secretary closes up the
office, Walter can still be found dil
igently working toward a very basic
idea — trying to help people.

Father of abused youngster
will testify for second time
EL PASO (AP) — A father who
testified at the sexual abuse trial of
his son’s pre-school teacher said it
won’t be easy, but he’s ready to tes
tify at a second trial now that the tea
cher’s conviction has been over
turned.
“No, the anguish will probably be
the same,” the unidentified father
told the El Paso Times. “Having to
get up there and report the morbid
things that happened to your child
is, when you tell it, almost like you
were raped yourself.”
The court’s decision was based on
a July ruling by the Texas 8th Dis
trict Court of Appeals that video
taped testimony is unconstitutional.
Prosecutors in Noble’s trial used
videotaped testimony from eight
children, ages 3 to 5.
The children had attended East
Valley YMCA.
He said he believes he can get a
conviction without videotaped testi
mony.
Noble was imprisoned at the
Texas Department of Corrections
Gainesville unit.
The retired El Paso police offi
cer’s son testified by videotape in the
March 1986 child sex abuse trial of
El Paso YMCA day-care teacher
Michelle Noble.
Noble, 37, was convicted on 18
counts, but a state appeals court last
week reversed the conviction.
The father said the parents of five
of the eight children involved in the
case are drafting a statement about
the conviction reversal so they all
wouldn’t have to confront reporters.
He said the statement would include
the parents’ reactions and feelings,
and explore how they might ap
proach a second trial.
Noble had been sentenced to life
plus 311 years.
District Attorney Steve Simmons
said Friday the woman would be
tried again.
She will be eligible to be released
on bail after she is transferred to El
Paso County Jail in four to six weeks.
Noble’s co-defendant, Gayle
Stickler Dove, 43, was convicted in
October 1986 of six child sexual
abuse counts.
She was sentenced to life impris
onment.
The conviction was overturned.
At her retrial in March, she was
convicted on one child sexual abuse
count and sentenced to 20 years.
Prosecutors did not use videotaped
testimony.
Dove is appealing that conviction.

open fire
on singer
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two
unknown attackers shot and
killed popular singer Victor
Yturbe when he opened the front
door of his home and they
opened fire, officials said Mon
day.
A report issued by the town
hall at Tlalnepantla, a residential
suburb of Mexico City, said the
two men knocked on Yturbe’s
door at 11 p.m. Sunday and fired
five bullets into him when he an
swered.
The government news agency
Notimex reported that Yturbe’s
wife, Irma Perez de Anda, told
police he had been watching tele
vision in his pajamas when she
heard knocks on the door. She
said she heard her husband go to
answer the door, then she heard
the gunfire.
