He said it is proposed as a “crash program right on the heels of the disappointment of the American people expressed every where.” “The people generally across the en tire spectrum of political belief are un happy with the way this campaign has gone,’’ he said. For television and radio commercials, Cronkite suggested a requirement that they be at least two minutes long and that the candidate appear. “If you did that, they’d have to say something,’’ he said. “You couldn't package them like soap. If they want to deal in a kind of below-the-belt, dirty campaign, they’re going to have their face hanging out there saying it ... it would purify the process considerably.” The following incidents were re ported to the University Police De partment from Oct. 10 through Tues day: FELONY THEFT: • A student reported that someone stole his 1988 Pontiac Firebird, which was parked on campus. • An automatic balance was sto len from the Northside Parking Ga rage construction site. MISDEMEANOR THEFT: • Five bicycles and three back packs were reported stolen from va rious locations around campus. One bicycle reported stolen earlier in the semester was found. • A student reported that someone stole her radio/cassette player from the Animal Industries building. • A student reported that someone stole a check and two bottles of pre scription medicine from her purse in the System Administration Building. • A student reported that he saw two people take two sections of scaf folding from the Sterling C. Evans Library construction site. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY: • A student reported that soimuj had forcibly entered his car. He a he could find nothing missing.

Theoa® found no damace tn the car clear mandate,” he said. “We won’t know, really, what we did elect, because no clear policy and program has been placed before the American people.” Austin council to Cronkite suggested that interested groups — such as those representing vot ers and consumers, and “think tanks” — work together to begin a massive pub lic information campaign that would cre ate a demand on the American voters so strong that the political parties could not deny it. The call should be for at least six de bates of two to three hours each, addres sing major issues, Cronkite said. Candi dates should be allowed to take sides and to have advisers present, he said. reject request for more time AUSTIN (AP) — A majority of Aus tin City Council members say they will reject a last-minute request by the ma naging partner of the South Texas Nu clear Project for more time to settle its lawsuit with the city. Cronkite said although political parties likely would object to the proposal, ne gotiations should begin before the next The council’s hard-line stance would all but eliminate the city’s prospects for avoiding a court Fight with Houston Lighting & Power Co., officials said.

AUSTIN (AP) — Saying local property taxpayers are paying enough, a legislator promised Wednesday to propose a constitu tional amendment requiring the state to provide the money when it forces local governments to undertake new programs. State Rep. Dan Morales, D-San Antonio, vice chairman of the tax writing House Ways and Means Committee said, “Texas property tax rates are now arguably among the highest in the nation.” Morales said he thinks most law makers would agree property tax rates around the state have grown too high as the state government has bat tled budget problems in recent years. Morales said that during its 1.5 years of study, the Select Committee on Tax Equity has heard repeatedly that local property taxpayers are be- bearing an “unresonably large por tion” of the overall tax burden. In recent months, the lawmaker said, there has been an “unpreceden ted” increase in property tax rates at the local level. “Municipalities, counties, school districts and other local taxing juris dictions have been forced to seek ad ditional revenue due, in significant part, to state-imposed mandates,” he said. Morales said 14 other states cur rently have laws which require the state to pay for programs it requires of local governments. At the present time, a number of counties arc protesting that problems with overcrowded state prisons have forced them to house state inmates in their county jails — but the state pays nothing toward those costs. Morales said his proposed amend ment might address such a problem, but he also said he’s not yet certain what form that amendment would take when introduced in the 1989 Legislature. However, he predicted such a plan would be approved by both lawmak ers and voters. Do we have a deal or don't*! deal?” asked Council Membet!
