The trial was moved from Galves ton to Beaumont by State District Judge Henry G. Dalehite because of pre-trial publicity in the case. Jury selection began Monday morning in the case, and was com pleted by the afternoon, Randy Kitchen, courts administrator said. Robert John King, 29, of Bacliff, is accused of abducting 19-year-old Shelley Sikes from her car as she re turned home from her summer job at a Galveston restaurant. King was arrested last June at an El Paso motel after he tried to slit his wrists and hang himself with a pair of shoestrings. El Paso police called Galveston au thorities after they found a suicide letter in King’s possession that men tioned the murder of a woman in Galveston Gounty. If convicted of the aggravated kidnapping charge. King could face five to 99 years or life in prison and a fine of up to $ 10,000. Galveston County District Attor ney Mike Guarino expects the trial to last about two weeks. “Em very glad that we’re going to start the trial and attempt to resolve this case,” he said. “But at the same time, no one will rest until her body is found.” Guarino said he will call about 20 witnesses to testify in the trial. Shortly after his arrest. King im plicated Gerald Peter Zwarst of El Lago. Zwarst, 32, also was granted a change of venue, but the date and location are pending. Neither man has admitted killing Sikes. King offered to take authori ties to a site in Bacliff where he said her body was buried, but changed his mind after meeting with his fam ily.

West Staff Writer The MSC Council approved by laws updating job descriptions and added two nonvoting positions in their last meeting of the semester Monday night. Linda Hartman, MSC Council president, said that as the titles and responsibilities of MSC officers change, constitutional definitions of the positions must be updated. Ke vin Carruthers, the director of the new Multi-Cultural Services Center, and the president of the Interfrater nity Council will join the council as nonvoting members next semester. Barry Hoggard, vice president for educational programs, said the eco nomic subcommittee of MSC Great Issues probably will become an inde pendent committee in the 1990-91 school year. MSC Great Issues has been two autonomous groups under one chairman, he said, and should be separated. The economics subcom mittee probably will use the 1989-89 school year as a transition period. Terri Rivera, vice president for cultural programs, asked that com mittee size and possible program ming conflicts outside of educational programming be considered when evaluating the economics subcom mittee. Hartman said an independent economics committee was not consti tutionally approved because the council wants to determine if suffi cient funding and member support exist. “The economics committee is rela tively new, and until this year, un proven,” she said. “We do not want to create a committe and then have no members to fill it.” The council reviewed the pro gress of a 400-call marketing survey that will measure the University’s awareness of the MSC and its func tions. Liz Hudson, vice president for public relations, said she had diffi culty getting the manpower for the survey and hopes the results will not be skewed by the length of time it takes to complete the survey. Traci Ryan, executive vice presi dent for administration, distributed a “master plan.” The plan is a com posite of thoughts and ideas of this year’s MSC Council leadership that next year’s officers can use as a guidance tool, she said. Number of working oil rigs increases; 941 actively search for oil and gas in U.S. HOUSTON (AP) — The number of working oil and gas rigs in the United States rose by six this week to total 941, Baker Hughes Inc. an nounced. In the previous week, the count lost eight rigs to total 935. A year ago, the count totaled 752, Baker Hughes said Monday. The rig count reflects the number of rigs actively exploring for oil as of last Friday, not the number of rigs producing oil. Baker Hughes, an oil toolmaker company, lallies the number of working rigs and the count is the widely-watched industry index of drilling activity. Hughes Tool Co., which merged this year with Baker International Corp. of Orange, Calif., has kept track of the number of working rigs since 1940. The rig count reached a peak of 4,500 active rigs in December 1981, which was the height of the oil boom. But oil prices plunged to less than $10 per 42-gallon barrel in the summer of 1986 and the rig count went with it, dropping to 663 — the lowest since Hughes began compil ing figures. Among the major oil producing states, New Mexico gained eight rigs, Oklahoma, seven; Colorado, five; Kansas and Louisiana, four each; California, three; and North Dakota, two. Texas lost nine, Wyoming lost three; and Pennsylvania’s rig count fell by two.
