Jury chosen
for suspect
in kidnapping
BEAUMONT (AP) — A jury was
selected Monday for the trial of a
man charged with the May 1986
roadside abduction of a Texas City
woman whose body was never
found, officials said.
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.

MSC Council redefines jobs,
adds 2 nonvoting members
By Deborah L. 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.
