A man stopped for speeding on the Texas
campus early Saturday was armed and
ran ted by Florida police for felony theft and at-
erapted murder.
T$ob Wiatt, director of security and University
Jice, said William Donovan Mulvaney, 22, was
Bested on charges of unauthorized use of a mo-
J vehicle, possession of firearm by a felon and
Ices where weapons prohibited. It is illegal to
lea weapon on the campus of an institution of
[her learning.
Mulvaney was stopped for driving 46 mph in a
20 mph zone on N. Bizzell at about 1 a.m. While
running a check on Mulvaney’s 1987 Chrysler Le
Baron, officers discovered the car had been re
ported stolen in Orlando, Fla., on New Year’s
Eve. Upon further search the officers found a
loaded .38-caliber revolver in Mulvaney’s jacket
and 150 rounds of ammunition, a hatchet and a
hunting knife in the car, Wiatt said.
Florida police later told Wiatt Mulvaney was
wanted in Florida for theft of the car which be
longs to Henry Jay Sillman. Mulvaney has been
charged with the attempted murder of Sillman,
44, who was shot in the head Dec. 31. Sillman re
mains unconcious in an Orlando hospital with
the bullet lodged in his head, Wiatt said.
Mulvaney was also in possession of tw'O credit
cards belonging to Sillman, Wiatt said. Several
purchase receipts from Florida, Louisiana and
Texas were also found in the car. Local receipts
led Wiatt to believe that Mulvaney has been stav
ing at a local motel for about two days. Wiatt said
receipts from a local pawn shop also were found
for a .32-caliber gun turned in by Mulvaney.
Wiatt said it is unknown if either of the guns
were used in the shooting of Sillman and will re
main unknown until doctors are able to remove
the bullet from Sillman’s head.
Wiatt said Mulvaney is also wanted in Harris
County for violating parole, which he was
granted after serving time for fraud. Because of
the violation, no bond has been set for Mulvaney,
who is being held in the Brazos County Jail until
Florida police decide how to handle the case.

The most appealing part of the
Crime Stoppers program, Kirk said,
is that the callers can remain com
pletely anonymous. Callers are given
a number, and no names need to be
used, he said.
He said many callers do not want
reward money, but are just con
cerned citizens who don’t want to
give their names.
Rewards of up to $1,000 are of
fered for tips in felony cases. Kirk
Graphic by Elva Nolan
said five $1,000 rewards were given
out last year.
One was for an informant who
gave the name of a man who was
later arrested in connection with the
rape and attempted murder of an
A&M student in October.
Another $1,000 went to a caller
who helped University police re
cover seven Aggie rings that were
stolen from the Clayton Williams
Alumni Center in July.

The money to pay the rewards
comes from donations within the
community, Kirk said, and is used to
pay for tips leading to the solving of
all types of crimes.
The Brazos County Sheriff s De
partment pays Kirk to coordinate
the program and also gives him cler
ical help.
Kirk said when an anonymous in
formant calls in a tip, police agencies
usually must find additional evi
dence before a search can be con
ducted or an arrest made.
But sometimes warrants are is
sued solely on the basis of a tip, he
said.
This happens when Crime Stop
pers receives a tip from an infor
mant who has proven to be credible
in the past, he said.
About a dozen informants have
been given this status, he said.
Texas A&M instituted a program
similar to Crime Stoppers last semes
ter.
The program offers rewards of
up to $10,000 for information lead
ing to the solving of campus felonies.
The crimes to which these re
wards will apply must be publicly an
nounced, or no rewards will be
given.
These rewards will accompany
any offered by Crime Stoppers, a
University spokesman said.
A&M Greeks react to
interracial fraternity
By Holly Beeson
REPORTER
Fraternity members at Texas
A&M have mixed emotions about
a white student at the University
of New Mexico trying to reacti
vate a historically black fraternity
and make it an interracial organi
zation.
The fraternity, Alpha Phi Al
pha, is a predominantly black fra
ternity, but has admitted all races
since 1945.
“I don’t know the motives of
the student at New Mexico,” said
Tommy Duncan, president of the
Alpha Phi Alpha chapter at
A&M, “but a lot of reactions will
probably be negative.”
He said the white student,
Mark Burney, will need much
support from surrounding chap
ters if the reactivation is to suc
ceed.
Duncan said Alpha Phi Alpha
was formed at a time when blacks
were overtly oppressed and had
little or no rights.
“The purpose of starting the
organization in 1906 was to
group young black men who were
trying to support themselves
while going to school,” Duncan
said. “They needed to create
more of an intimate bond with
each other, and promote brother
hood and unity.”
There seems to be a difference
in some of the goals of historicallv
black and historical!)’ white fra
ternities, he said.
“One of our major objectives is 1
to focus on service projects,”
Duncan said. “This is a lot differ
ent than the goals of historicallv
white fraternities.”
Alpha Phi Alpha also puts
great emphasis on helping sup
port the objectives of their na
tional body.
Duncan said his fraternitv se
lects pledges that have high stan
dards and high moral character.
“We want people who are am
bitious,” he said. “They should
want to contribute something to
ATIV/I
their community and want to im
prove themselves as well.”
However, a historicallv white
fraternity at A&M has different
considerations when looking for
prospectiv e members.
“When we look at a pledge we
look for four qualities," Bill
Thomas, president of Phi Kappa
Tau, said. “He has to either he an
athlete, a face man, a leader or a
scholarship recipient."
He said racial requirements are
not stated in his fraternitv's con
stitution and the organization
doesn’t consider race when select
ing new members. Phi Kappa
Tau is the only historicallv white
fraternity on campus that has a
black member.
“•He was just initiated."
Thomas said, “and he's definitelv
an asset to our fraternity."
Reggie Parks, the first black
member of Phi Kappa Fan.
joined the fraternity because it
had the qualities for which he was
looking.
“I was looking for a fraternity
that had people who weren’t
fake,” Parks said. I wanted peo
ple that I could relate to easily
and a fraternity that was down to
earth.”
He said he considered joining a
historicallv black fraternity, but
didn’t want to be labeled as "just
another black person."
Parks doesn't get negativ e reac
tions from his family or friends
for being the only black in the
fraternity, but says he’s prepared
for it.
“I have a white stepfather."
