TBC subcommittee recommends halt to furlough system In Advance SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Convicted murderers, rapists and armed robbers will not be getting out of overcrowded Texas prisons through a furlough system until the Texas Board of Corrections can analyze the controversial program next month, a board subcommittee decided Thursday. The three-member panel, headed by TBC chairman Charles Terrell of Dallas, voted to temporarily ban furloughs for violent and habitual criminals until a Nov. 14 meeting in Austin when the full nine-member board can discuss the mat ter after receiving reports from the Texas Department of Corrections. The decision comes amid Republican criticism of a similar furlough program in Democratic presidential candidate Mi chael Dukakis’ state of Massachusetts. The TDC has released about 4,600 in mates in the furlough program since Jan uary 1987 and seven of the inmates com mitted crimes while on leave, officials said. Fourteen escaped. The TDC has the nation’s third-largest prison population — nearly 39,000 — and has had to release some prisoners early to avoid overcrowding. Terrell said that because of the high- profile national campaign he decided to ask whether Texas had a similar program and was shocked to find that it did. He ordered an end to the weeklong program for murderers earlier this month. The panel, which also included Allen Polunsky of San Antonio and Jerry Hodge of Amarillo, spent about 45 min utes Thursday discussing the issue, even praising the TDC staff for administering the program, before voting to recom mend a temporary halt to part of it. “There isn’t a happy answer and there isn’t an easy answer,’’ Terrell said. “1 don’t want to be the one to explain to the victim or the victim’s family why we let someone with a murder back ground out. I don’t think it’s explaina ble,’’ he said. The program, in effect since 1977, still would allow burglars and thieves to apply for furloughs and would leave con victs’ family emergency requests to the discretion of prison officials. Because of prison overcrowding, the subcommittee members also questioned whether the furloughs were designed as a management tool or as a means of reha bilitation. “If we want to make a change here, we’ve to realize it will put pressures somewhere else and we must bite that bullet if we want to make that change and then we must say, ‘We think that’s justifiable’ and face anyone that it up sets. We’ve got 6,000 or 7,000 or so backed up in our jails,” Terrell said. Jim Lynaugh, director of the TDC, said he did not know how prisoners would react to the temporary suspension of furloughs. “The inmates that do go on furlough look forward to it. They are very protec tive of the program. They return simply because they want to go again,” Ly naugh said. “I don’t know how many will con tinue to serve their time and get out as early as possible or how many in essence will say say, ‘Well you are not going to give me an award. I’m going to be bad. beat on everybody I sec.’ My guess is probably not very many will act up." Lynaugh said. Gov. Bill Clements, co-chair of Re publican presidential nominee George Bush’s Texas campaign, has staunchly criticized the Massachusetts furlough program. He said Thursday he was not backing down from criticizing Dukakis and said the TBC would make changes to correct the Texas furlough program. ‘KAMU Sc You’ simulcast on Saturday KAMU-TV and KAMU-FM will sponsor a “KAMU & You” simulcast on Saturday from the Post Oak Mall and the KAMU studio.

Former student’s art shown in MSC gallery By Staci Finch Reporter Texas A&M is well-known for its graduates in engineering and agriculture. But the University is not as famous for its art. However, William Herring, Class of ’70, is beginning to change that. Herring has become one of the fore most artists in the field of contemporary realism art. Samples of his work, along with that of Jan Herring, his equally fa mous mother, are on display in the MSC Gallery until Nov. 11. Since graduating from A&M, Herring has kept in close contact with the school. The former member of E-2, the Corps outfit that takes care of Reveille, remem bered his outfit with the recent donation of one of his pictures and a sketch of Re veille, to the MSC Permanent Gallery. In addition to these gifts, Herring is working on a series of sketches portray ing A&M traditions. Herring did not immediately go into art after A&M. Graduating with a degree in interna tional relations and South American his tory, he worked in agriculture for a while, dairy farming with his father, then decided to pursue his love for art. Since then he has won many awards and has served as a drawing instructor and an artist-in-residence. Among his awards are the 1988 Mu riel Alvord Award in watercolor by the Hudson Valley Art Association, the 1988 Gold Medal Award for watercolor by the El Paso Art Association, and the 1988 Honor Award for watercolor by the Academic Artists Association. Herring travels several months out of the year, often returning with bags of photos, sketches and drawings. It is from these souvenirs that he paints his pic tures. Herring inherited his love and talent for painting from his mother; Although plagued by a bone ailment, Jan Herring continues to paint in her 100-year-old adobe house in Clint, Texas. She also teaches and has published two books along with several articles for art books and magazines. Her paintings appear in galleries all over the country, and she is considered a master in several forms of art.

Group: Drug war violates rights AUSTIN (AP) — A group wanting to legalize marijuana said Thursday the Reagan Administration’s war on drugs has become a war on the American peo ple. The Texas chapter of the National Or ganization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) said, what it called the current “hysteria” over drugs, has prompted them to step up efforts to fight drug legislation they say violates citi zens’ civil liberties. “The war on drugs is a war on the American people and their rights,” Mike Kleinman, said. Kleinman and a handful of supporters brought “drugs" to a news conference. They said they planed to distribute the drugs during an anti-drug rally Saturday by the Texans War on Drugs. Those drugs included cigarettes and candy, which the NORML group says are more dangerous than marijuana. They also brought empty beer cans. A House sergeant-at-arms told them to take down a marijuana-leaf flag they had taped over a glass-encased photo of members of the 64th Legislature. “We have gotten sick and tired over all the hypocrisy going on in this country over drugs,” said Greg Clark, a member of the group and the Libeitariuo | date for Travis County tax asses lector. ”Wc don’t want to see those Texans take up crack or because they can no they are told by the authorities."k Donna Lee, regional coordio® the Texans’ War on Drugs, aite» news conference as a speciaio: t 1 terview later, she said the M group was wrong.
