Democrats say they will
better state’s economy
AUSTIN (AP) — T he Massa
chusetts attorney general and the
Boston mayor came to T exas on
Monday to tout their state’s eco
nomic “miracle” under Demo
cratic Gov. Michael Dukakis.
Democratic vice presidential
candidate Lloyd Bentsen also was
in town preparing for his debate
with Republican vice presidential
candidate Dan Quayle.
Bentsen tossed a football at a
session with photographers and
received a University of Texas
sweatshirt.
“The mayor and I wanted to
come here today to set the record
straight," said Massachusetts At
torney General James Shannon at
a news conference with Texas
Democratic officials and Boston
Mayor Raymond Flynn.
Shannon said they wanted to
make it clear to people in the
southwest the difference Gov.
Dukakis has made in Massachu
setts, and that they believe that
the same approach to leadership
in the White House can make a
difference for the southwest and
all of the U.S.
After the Capitol news confer
ence, Flynn and Shannon were
going to McAllen to meet with
mayors of small towns, the Texas
Dukakis campaign said.
“While Texas has lost jobs,
w hile Texas banks have been fail
ing, the eocnomy in Massachu
setts has been excellent — it has
been a miracle,” Bob Armstrong,
parks and wildlife commissioner
and a former Texas land commis
sioner, said.
The election of Dukakis would
help turn around the economy of
Texas more than any action the
state could do, said Rep. Wilhel-
mina Delco, D-Austin.
“If you’re going to really deal
with homelessness and hopeless
ness and hunger, you talk about
getting jobs for people,” Delco
said. “In the Texas Legislature,
we’ve tried to do that, and we’re
delighted to see that under the
leadership of Governor Dukakis,
Massachusetts has achieved what
we’re still striving to do.”
Massachusetts has gained
85,000 new businesses and
400,000 jobs under Dukakis,
Flynn said.
Various officials at the new's
conference — which also in
cluded Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos
of Austin and Land Commis
sioner Garry Mauro — also
praised Massachusetts’ education
system and 3.2 percent unem
ployment rate, which they said is
the lowest of an industrialized
state in the United States.
Students must remove cars
from unpaved parking area
By Fiona Soltes
Staff Writer
Students who enjoyed parking in
the uncrowded temporary parking
lot on Jersey Street this weekend
soon will find out why the lot was so
empty: it hasn’t been opened offi
cially yet.
Keith Chapman, manager of con
struction, said the lot still needs to be
paved. The University Police De
partment began relocating cars
parked in the lot at 7 a.m. today so
the contractors can get back to work.
Shelly Wilson, a student worker at
the University Police Department,
said the cars will most likely be
moved to the temporary lot behind
the police station, at the former site
of married student housing.
“We want to make sure people
know their cars haven’t been picked
up by a wrecker service,” Wilson
said. “The cars are not being ticke
ted.”
Wilson said the residence hall ad
visers have been notified and an
nouncements were made around
campus Monday at the dining halls.
A guard will be in the lot to tell
“We realize the parking situation is bad, but we re
doing everything we can to make space available for
everyone. ”
—Tom Williams,
director of
Parking Transit and Traffic
people about the move, and the en
trance to the lot has been blockaded,
she said. The lot will be open as soon
as the paving is complete.
Until then, off-campus day stu
dents can use one of 150 spaces in
Parking Annex 5 1 that have been re
moved from faculty permit-only sta
tus.
The lot, located near Zachry F,ngi-
neering Center east of Bizzell Street,
now will be open to those with blue
day student permits as well as yellow
staff parking stickers.
Tom Williams, director of Park
ing Transit and Traffic, said the re
location of spaces was necessary be
cause of overcrowding in adjacent
lots.
“The students were having to
fight with staff for the limited num
ber of spaces in that area, while
there are empty staff spaces nearby,”
Williams said.
The spaces for students are in the
easternmost portion of the back half
of the lot, he said.
“We decided that the extra spaces
in this lot would be most convenient
for off-campus day student par
king,” he said. “The faculty weren’t
filling up all the spaces, and it’s not
really that convenient to any of the
dorms.
“We realize the parking situation
is bad, but we’re doing everything
we can to make space available for
everyone,” he said.
