a
Holiday Crime...
December vacation may be a time of un
expected surprises. With so many stu
dents away during the holidays, some
apartments become prime targets for bur
glary. In order to protect your belongings
from theft, here are some security tips:
1. Strong locks are the single best deter
rent to break-ins. Use a rod to “double
lock” sliding glass doors or windows.
2. Do not leave hidden keys outside your
home.
3. Never leave notes indicating that you
are away.
4. Keep an inventory of your valuable pos
sessions, including serial numbers,
brand names, and model numbers.
Send a copy to parents or a relative in
case your copy is destroyed. You might
also take photographs of valuable
items. This is a good support for your in-
surar ce claims.
5. Engrave your Texas driver’s license
number on valuable items. An engraver
can be checked out from the University
Police.
6. If possible, take all valuables with you -
especially stereos, TVs, cameras, com
puters, and bikes.

deficit coverage
by press ‘wimpy’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bil
lionaire businessman H. Ross Perot
accused the press Thursday of being
the dwarfs and wimps of the presi
dential campaign for failing to make
the candidates talk about the deficit
and the economy.
“Right after we elected a presi
dent we started day in and day out
saturation bombing of the economy
on the front pages of the American
press,” Perot told a luncheon at the
National Press Club.
“Why didn’t we do that all
through the campaign? Why didn’t
we make them talk about it? ... No
more sound bites, no more spin con
trol guys,” the Texan said. “We let
them get away with murder.
“I think you were the dwarfs and
the wimps of the last campaign,”
Perot said.
In answer to questions on solving
the savings and loan crisis, he said
there had been a lot pillaging and
plundering by crooked stock, and he
would put a lot of those guys in jail.
“If you can’t do the time, don’t
commit the crime,” said Perot, who
C ut the size of the problem at $50
illion to $70 billion.
In his speech, Perot compared
problems in the economy “to the
crazy aunt we keep in the basement”
— everyone knows she’s there but no
one wants to talk about it.
“And now we’re saying let’s do
something — she could get out and
kill a neighbor,” Perot said.
The answer, said the foundti
Electronic Data Systems and
Perot Systems Corp., is for the
try to again build the world’s
products and quit settling for
good enough to get by.

Plano questions
Carter’s advance
in state playoffs
DALLAS (AP) — Plano school of
ficials are threatening legal action
that could keep Dallas Carter High
School from advancing through the
state football playoffs.
Wednesday night, the Plano
school board voted to seek an injunc
tion blocking a ruling by state Dep
uty Education Commissioner Tom
Anderson that Carter players Gary
Edwards and Ramon Wright are
academically eligible to play.
Plano officials think Carter vio
lated the intent of the no-pass, no
play law and said Plano East High
School, rather than Carter, should
be allowed to compete against Dallas
Samuell High School in the playoffs
Friday night.
Last Friday night, Carter defeated
Plano East 21-7, boosted by two Ed
wards touchdowns.
“I think it was a general consensus
of the board that we would like to
hear what happened as well as what
the ramifications would be,” Allan
Bird, Plano school board president,
said.
Hours after Anderson made his
ruling in Austin on Wednesday, the
Plano school board voted to chal
lenge it on two fronts: by seeking a
hearing before Education Commis
sioner William Kirby and by filing a
lawsuit against the Texas Education
Agency.
If necessary, the suit would be
filed in Travis County, Plano school
district lawyer David McCall, said.
Bird also said the board wants to
investigate whether the no-pass, no
play law is being enforced uni
formly.
The eligibility questions were
raised last week when the University
Interscholastic League received an
anonymous letter and phone call al
leging that Edwards was playing
football despite failing algebra, a vio
lation of Texas’ no-pass, no-play law.
After an investigation last Thurs
day, officials from Carter and DISD
said Edwards was ineligible and that
the team would forfeit its final three
games of the season, makingiiio
gible for the playoffs.
But school officials camebadl
day and reversed their decision,
ing more evidence that made I
wards’ case inconclusive.
Wednesdas afternoon in AuS
during a second day of TEA
UIL hearings on Catter’s eligili
officials ruled both players eligible

disappoint justice
EDINBURG (AP) — A Texas Su
preme Court justice says he is disap
pointed with a 71 percent failure
rate on the state bar exam by stu
dents at an unaccredited South
Texas law school who were granted
a two-year waiver to take the exam.
“That’s a pretty poor record,”
C.L. Ray said. “It’s kind of sad that
the students didn’t do any better
than that because they spent three
years on law school and now they’ve
got to go back to study a lot more to
try to pass the bar exam.”
Four of the 14 graduates of the
unaccredited Reynaldo G. Garza
School of Law passed the stale bar
exam, which was administered in
July. Of Texas’ eight accredited law
schools, the average failure rate was
18 percent, the Valley Morning Star
reported.

waiver to allow students from 1
