AUSTIN (AP) — About 100 abortion
protesters staged a “rescue mission” at a
clinic near the University of Texas on
Monday, singing and praying as they
blocked entrances to the office.
“We’re doing it again because after
the rescue on Saturday, we felt like that
was so successful — we felt like we had
rescued children and the expression of
our love had come through — that we
wanted to do that again this morning,”
Rex Moses of Austin Rescue said.
No one was arrested after several
hours of protest at The Ladies Center.
On Saturday, when about 300 anti
abortion activists gathered at another
Austin clinic as part of a national protest,
there also were no arrests.
Nola Puente, clinic administrator, said
the clinic was not asking for arrests be
cause, “That’s exactly what they want.”
“We are trying to keep this dog-and-
pony show to a minimum,” Puente said.
Moses said protesters did not want to
be arrested, but wanted to stop abortions
and communicate their message to the
public.
Puente said the clinic normally does
not do abortions on Mondays but usually
would be doing pregnancy tests and
counseling. She said people who called
to come in Monday were told of the pro
testers and advised to go elsewhere.
Puente and a staff member were es
corted through a rear clinic entrance after
police created a diversion at the front en
trance. Officers walked to the front with
a woman who works for Travis County
entering the clinic.
to say
Elaine Allan, who declined
whether she had an appointment, left an
grily after trying to get through the pro
testers.
“I have a 3-year-old,” Allan said.
“I’m pro-choice. I chose to have her, and
I’m glad I did. But I’m sympathetic with
people who have to make an opposite
choice.”
Phyllis )unham, executive director of
the Texas Abortion Rights Action
League, said of the protesters, “Once
again, they will not stop abortions, but
they will cost the city tens of thousands
of dollars if arrests take place. If arrests
do not happen, the cost in police over
time will still be great.”
Dunham said “further challenges”
would be offered to the rescue missions
within the next several days.
She would not give details.

Police moved protesters from the rear
door to allow the clinic staff members to
enter, Senior Sgt. Sam Cox said.
“Our only purpose was to clear the
doorway,” Cox said. “We’re here for
everybody. We’re not here for any par

Moses said the police action consti

He said two protesters were injured
when they were moved.
AUSTIN (AP) — Vice presidential
candidate Lloyd Bentsen condemned Re
publican George Bush in a prime time
television commercial and told the nation
he was attempting to set the record
straight.
Bentsen spoke for five minutes Sun
day calling Bush absolutely miserable
and full of “noisy smears” that “trash
the truth.”
“What (Democratic presidential can
didate) Mike Dukakis and I say is that
there’s strength when we all pull together
. . . Then we can do incredible things to
gether as the greatest nation on earth,”
Bentsen said.

MSC hosts Election Awareness Day
Fifteen student and community po
litical organizations will provide in
formation on the upcoming elections
in the MSC flagroom Wednesday
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Wednesday was chosen as Election
Awareness Day by the MSC Political
Forum.
Several organizations are expected
to speak about the candidates and the
issues.
Patrick Houston, Political Forum
special events chairman, said the pro
gram serves a dual purpose.
“We want to give the students ba
sic information on the issues and to
increase voter awareness,” he said,
The program is aimed mostly at na
tional and state issues and candidates,
Houston said.
Spokesmen from the local Demo
cratic and Republican headquarters
will be available to answer questions
on local issues.
The campaign said it used some of the
Democrats’ remaining $19 million in
campaign money to buy the advertise
ment because Bentsen is having a real
impact on the horse race.

LUBBOCK (AP) — Declining mi

universities can’t improve until the high-
school dropout rate does, U.S. Secretary
of Education Lauro Cavazos said Mon

After a speech to Estacado High
School students in which he urged them
to stay in school, Cavazos said high
dropout rates among minority schools
make it hard for colleges to increase mi
nority enrollment.
Electronic devices pass test

Leopoldo Narvaiz .
HOUSTON (AP) — Researchers charting the success of
electronic monitoring of Texas prison parolees say they are
surprised the system is working so effectively.
“So far the parole board has been able to select out of the
right kinds of people,” Rand Corp. senior researcher Joan Pe-
tersilia said.
“We were expecting more serious problems, but we have
been in the field six to nine months and it doesn’t appear that
there are,” she said.
The Justice Department study, which also examines other
types of parole supervision programs used in Texas, will con
tinue for another year, Petersilia said.
So far in Texas, 122 prison parolees have completed the
electronic monitoring program, with 84 successfully meeting
terms of their parole, 28 placed under new terms of parole and
10 sent back to prison, said Mike Eisenberg of the Texas
Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Most of the parole violations have involved alcohol or drug
use or unauthorized absence from the parolee’s residence, au
thorities said.
‘ ‘The preliminary results show that people out on electronic
monitoring programs in Texas are not presenting any partic
ularly serious public risk,” Petersilia said. “Very few have
committed new crimes.”
None have committed any major crimes, she added.
The most popular form of electronic monitoring is the use
of a bracelet locked onto a person’s wrist or ankle.
The prisoner places the bracelet in a monitor attached to a
telephone so a computer can verify the prisoner is at home.
The ankle bracelet has a monitoring box that sends a signal to
a computer every time the parolee leaves home.
The latest count shows 322 parolees and pre-parolees, those
prisoners who are released early, on the electronic monitor
ing, or “house arrest” program, Eisenberg said.
Rand researchers had expected to find serious problems be
cause of the background of parolees placed on the program,
Petersilia said.
Participants often have broken previous terms of parole and
were placed on the program rather than returned to prison.
Petersilia said Texas is the only state she knows to be using
the program on paroled prisoners. Others limit electronic
monitoring to probationers, she said.
“Right here in Texas you’ve got aboil
