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.

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.
