HAPPY \ VALENTINE'S Fk A »ay , [AAGI) LOVERBOYl TEMPLE (AP) —- Investigations by police officers posing as high school students in Temple and Waco have led to arrests for alleged drug sales. Four students and 10 Temple res idents were arrested following a five- month investigation into drug sales at Temple High School. Eight students and 11 Waco-area residents were arrested as the restdt of similar operations at Waco High School and Waco Midway High School, authorities said Wednesdav. Authorities said a Waco police of ficer, in his early 20s, began attend ing classes at Temple High School in September. Temple Police Chief Thomas Vannoy said the officer purchased cocaine, LSD, marijuana and meth- amphetamine from 17 people dur ing the investigation. “Of the six students that he bought from, only two sold on cam pus, and that was like on the parking lot during the lunch break,” Vannoy said. The city spent $13,000 on the in vestigation, including the cost of buying drugs, he said. Waco Police Capt. Dan Wethe- rington said Waco spent $23,000, in cluding pay for a non-commissioned officer who went undercover at Mid way High School. Temple police supplied a 21-year-old rookie to in filtrate Waco High School, he said. A similar operation at Waco and University high schools netted 79 people last March, including 35 stu dents. “We are aware now of how great the problem is on campus,” Vannoy said. “In the past it was all hearsay and rumor. But I can tell you right now that at least 50 percent of our students are using today or have used drugs.” FEES program assists Texas cities n business, economic development By John H. Neill Reporter A program to aid Texas cities in eir economic development has en created by the Texas Engi- ering Experiment Station at ScM. The Municipal Assistance Pro- am was designed to provide cities th technology such as community entory and assistance in the for- ation of new companies in the as, Dr. Helen Dorsey, director of business development division of ES, said. The first implementation of the ogram began in Temple, where TEES opened an urban outreach center at the City Hall. The office will serve as headquar ters for a variety of projects between Temple and the T EES office at A&M, Dorsay said. The extension service provides an analysis for each city that describes their needs and then structures a service package to meet those needs, Dorsey said. TEES may assist selected commu nities in attracting and retaining in dustries in those areas. Dorsey said this could include research and tech nical training programs. The proof that the program is working is in Temple, she said. “We do have an actual project,” Dorsey said. “It’s getting the people’s attention.” Ray Abbott, director of the City of Temple Economic Development De partment, said Temple is looking for closer ties with Texas A&M. “We are looking for a broad- based, multi-subject relationship with Texas A&M,” Abbott said. He said a prospective business man could call TEES or the outreach office in Temple and receive infor mation about real estate, facilities or training programs available in the area. A&M offers education, research and the knowledge of the extension service, Abbott said, so at the least one of those benefits is utilized with this program. The assistance program tries to fit a business with the needs of the Temple community, Abbott said. “We take a business and commu nity and fit them together to meet each other’s needs,” Abbott said. He said the program also tries to match the goals of A&M with those of the Temple area. The Temple community as well as political groups are excited about the program and the good it could do for the city, Abbott said.

I Bungled abuse cases lead to probe EL PASO (AP) — The state attor ney general’s office will investigate the local office of the Department of Human Services because of ques tions about its handling of five child- abuse cases, the county attorney says. County Attorney Joe Lucas said he asked the attorney general last month to investigate what he called bungling by child welfare workers. In one case Lucas cited, two boys were released from DHS child pro tective services to stay with their fa ther for the 1986 Christmas holi days. The man set fire to the house with the boys inside and both chil dren died, he said. In another case, DHS officials said they knew a boy was sleeping in ditches and abandoned cars to es cape his father’s beatings at home, but did nothing about it, Lucas al leged. He also charged that DHS offi cials ignored a report that a 16-year- old prostitute was being provided with heroin by her mother. Lucas said he finally was prompted to request the attorney general’s probe when lie discovered the DHS investigated an abuse re port before a 15-month-old boy’s death in May, but that a supervisor closed the case because of staff shortages. “If they have a staffing problem, they can do away with other services, but not protection of children,” Lu cas wrote to the attorney general. In a letter to Lucas received Wednesday, Assistant Attorney Gen eral David Hess said his office would investigate the four cases, plus one in which a 13-year-old boy injured his 16-year-old sister when he shot her in the neck. The DHS had re ceived reports that the children were often left unsupervised, officials said. P 1 Nev., where he was attending a semi nar, Lucas said: “What I hope to see is that we can find out what the problem is and then correct the situ ation.” Walter Deines, regional director for the DHS’ child protective serv ices department, pledged cooper ation and said he expected a thor ough review.
