Man charged
after deaths
of passengers
DALLAS (AP) — The driver of a
pickup truck that crashed in a street
race was charged Tuesday with
three counts of involuntary man
slaughter in the deaths of his girl
friend and two members of a Welsh
soccer team who were passengers,
police said.
Craig Hardin Clark, 20, of Carrol
lton, the driver of the truck, was
charged Tuesday, said Sherry Dorn
of the Dallas police hit and run divi
sion.
Clark, who was arrested earlier,
was freed on a $7,500 bond, Dorn
said.
• Police said Clark had been con
victed in 1984 of driving while intox
icated in Dallas and sentenced to two
years probation after pleading guilty
to the offense.
His girfriend and two members of
a Welsh soccer team were killed Sun
day when the pickup truck flipped
in a drag race with a car and hit a
utility pole, police said.
Killed in the crash were Sandra
Ann Spiker, 22, and two members of
the Lucas Girling Apprentice Foot
ball Team from South Wales: Lee
Donovan, 28, of Manchester, En
gland, and Mark Andrew Jones, 21,
of Gwent, South Wales.
Jail records indicate that Clark is
an epileptic, but investigators said
they did not know whether a seizure
might have contributed to the acci
dent.
Members of the soccer team said
Monday they did not know Clark
was going to be racing in the pickup.
“It all happened so quickly,” said
Gareth Everson, 22, of Pontypool in
South Wales, who was riding in the
truck’s flatbed when the accident oc
curred.

Map Discussion: The spring storm that produced snow from the high plains to
the Great Lakes is continuing, with most of today's snow activity centered over
Michigan while showers persist through the eastern lakes and into New England.
The dynamics along the front appear adequate, however. The lack of moisture
precludes any significant frontal activity. The high pressure system over
southeastern Kansas will produce noticably cooler temperatures into southeast
Texas.
Forecast:
Today. Fair and mild with northerly surface winds of 7 to 14 mph. High
temperature today of 79 degrees. Low temperature Thursday morning near 50
degrees.
Thursday. Partly cloudy and continued mild. High temperature of 83 degrees with
a return to southeasterly winds of 5 to 10 mph.
Weather Fact. Beta particles — In atmospheric electricity, beta particles have
some importance as contributors to atmospheric ionization, because in their rapid
movement through a gas such as air, betas collide with neutral gas atoms and
knock out planetary electrons from these atoms, thus ionizing them.

Loan fund offers help
for traveling students
By Tracey Streater
Reporter
Texas A&M students wishing to
travel abroad who don’t have much
money may find help from the MSC
Overseas Loan Fund.
In the past seven months, 36 in
terest-free loans totaling appr-oxi-
mately $15,000 have.been awarded
to A&M students. The loan fund
gives an average of five loans each
month, with the amount of the loans
varying, and will resume awarding
loans again in the fall.
Suzan Carmichael, coordinator of
the loan fund, said the loans allow
qualifying students to travel any
where out of the United States for
educational or personal reasons.
“The loan can be used to fund any
overseas trip, but academic pursuits
are favored,” Carmichael said.
Undergraduate students wanting
to apply for a loan in the fall need to
have a minimum 2.0 grade-point ra
tio and be enrolled in at least 12
hours of course study at A&M, Car
michael said. Graduate students with
a minimum 3.0 GPR and enrolled in
9 hours of course study also are qual
ified for the loan.
Because of the high demand for
the loans, the loan fund coordina
tors must be selective in choosing re
cipients, she said.
“It is competitive; we want people
to realize that,” Carmichael said.
“We encourage people to present us
with a well-planned trip. We do fa
vor someone who has researched his
or her trip thoroughly.”
Although most of the recipientsof
this year’s loans have not taken their
trips yet, their destinations include
Spain, France and the Soviet Unjpn I
The recipients’ majors range From
horticulture to engineering'to Span
ish.
Coordinated and administrated
by the MSC Jordan Institute for In
ternational Awareness, the loans are
funded by private donations and the
proceeds from the movie “We’ve
Never Been Licked,” which is shown
twice each year by the Jordan Insti
tute.
Firefighter will stay on payroll
despite ‘temporary’ cancer
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A cancer-stricken fire
fighter will be able to stay on the job after the firefight
ers union intervened on his behalf and his doctor said
the illness was only temporary, officials said.
The San Antonio Fire Department and the San An
tonio Professional Firefighters Association had battled
over Byron Cabana, a 14-year department veteran who
doctors said is suffering from a type of lymphatic can
cer known as Hodgkin’s disease.
Assistant Fire Chief James D. Miller said Cabana will
stay on the payroll because of a letter he received Mon
day from Cabana’s physician specifically stating the ill
ness was temporary and that Cabana would return to
work in six months.
As a result, the 33-year-old Cabana will continue to
receive his full pay of about $25,000 a year and his job
will be kept open for him.
“I couldn’t feel better right now,” Cabana said Mon
day.
Mike Rankin, grievance chairman of the firefighters
union, said that similar letters had been received pre
viously and that the real threat to Cabana’s job arose
from Fire Chief I.O. Martinez’s refusal to accept Caba
na’s cancer as temporary.
Since it has been determined that he is “temporarily”
ill, Cabana can use the joint Fire Department-San Anto
nio Professional Firefighters Association Work Bank to
find volunteers to work his shifts after his sick leave and
vacation time run out, Rankin said.
Rankin said that Dr. Steven B. Kalter, a blood and
cancer specialist, sent at least three letters, including
one nearly a month ago giving the amount of therapy
remaining and the date Cabana could return to work.
“He has approximately four more months of chemo
therapy and then will need a couple more months to
convalesce,” Kalter wrote March 31. “Conceivably he
could return to work in six months.”
Dr. J. Dean McCracken, a cancer specialist and im
mediate past president of the San Antonio chapter of
the American Cancer Society, said recovering cancer
patients encounter job discrimination.
“There is some definite job discrimination against my
young patients, particularly those with Hodgkin’s dis
ease and testicular cancer,” McCracken said. “It reflects
a lack of enlightenment as to the state of the art in treat
ing various diseases.”
