are aiming to have replacements by
next year, which means they would
hopefully take over in the summer
when the transaction is easier and
they’ll have time to prepare for the
fall semester.”
Moore, who was the health cen
ter’s acting director before the
change, said the decision to change
the administration’s structure was
prompted by recommendations
made in a study of the center.
Southerland, who will serve the
health center and retain his position
of associate vice president for stu
dent services, said the change was
needed to improve the center for the
people it serves and for those it em
ploys.
“It’s simply time to move forward
on the general management of the
health center,” he said.
The result of the changes is a dual
directorship. The student health
services director specializes in ad
ministrative decisions and is respon
sible for the center’s policies and
budget recommendations. The clini
cal services director attempts to im
prove the quality of services at the
center, Moore said.
“The director of health services is
a person who is more trained and
experienced in administrative
areas,” he said. “Unlike the clinical
services director, he doesn’t have to
be a physician or doctor. The clinical
services director must be a doctor,
and he mainly deals with the profes
sional persons at the center, such as
the doctors and nurses.”
Southerland said being an acting
director will not hinder his desire to
initiate programs for the center.
“If there are any things that we
determine need to be implemented.
we’re going to implement them,” he
said. “1 have no problem in making
whatever decisions need to be made.
“One issue that we’re interested in
exploring is (whether) the health
center can play a bigger role in the
dissemenation of public health in
formation than it does. We think
that is part of the mission of the
health center.”
Moore said one of his main con
cerns is determining what should be
expected of the center in terms of
treatment.
“I think one thing we’re going to
try and do is to determine what
should be treated here and what
should be referred out,” he said.
“Obviously we can’t take care of se
rious cardiac services and other se
rious problems, but we need to draw
up a written description of the scope
of our services.”

dia Services, fc
Mall gunfight
in Houston
leaves 3 dead
HOUSTON (AP) — Two peo
ple were killed and at least three
injured in a gun battle that
erupted Monday at a near-down
town shopping strip in a predom
inantly Vietnamese area, authori
ties said.
The mid-afternoon shootout
began with a quarrel among
Asian teen-agers in a parking lot
outside the Saigon City Mall, said
Paul Pepe, Houston emergency
medical services director.
“One guy got chased inside
and another guy got chased
across the street,” Pepe said. “I
think all of them were armed.”
The shootings apparently oc
curred inside a sandwich shop,
but police said a lack of witnesses
handicapped their efforts to de
termine the sequence pf events.
“There was nobody here when
the police arrived, just bodies and
holes,” said Sgt. Dan Turner, a
police spokesman.
The victims w'ere described as
Asian males between 15 and 17
years of age, Turner said.
Swaggart’s lawyers prepare
for lawsuit against publisher
IRVING (AP) — Jimmy Swaggart’s Texas attorney
says he already has forgiven a stripper who claims in the
March issue of Penthouse magazine that she performed
explicit sexual acts for the television evangelist.
But he also says he and other Christian attorneys rep
resenting Swaggart will attempt to sue her and Pent
house publisher Bob Guccione for “something astro
nomical.
“We’re going to file a lawsuit of marathon propor
tions,” said attorney Dennis Brewer, who is expected to
play a key role in the suit since it will be filed in Texas,
probably within 10 days.
The longtime Texas lawyer said he and other hoard
members of Jimmy Swaggart World Ministries decided
to file the suit in Texas because the Lone Star State al
lows punitive damages.
Swaggart was to announce his intention to file such a
lawsuit Monday afternoon at his ministries headquar
ters in Baton Rouge, La.
“I forgive her; I pray for her,” Brewer said. “And I
feel sorry for Guccione and all like him. I think there
will be a price for them to pay, but maybe not on this
earth.”
But if Swaggart, his ministries and family can prove
in court they were damaged by the allegations from ( Ca
therine Mary Karnpen, any price paid by Kampen or
Penthouse would be used not to line Swaggart’s pock
ets, but “to win souls for the kingdom and to feed starv
ing children,” Brewer said.
Brewer is one of several lawyers lining up to defend
Swaggart’s reputation through the lawsuit.
“With all the attacks there have been lately, he needs
more than one lawyer,” he said. “I think every time they
run trash like this, they make some more Bundys,” ref
erring to recently executed slayer Ted Bundy who had
said pornography started him and others on their path
to crime.
Brewer is a 58-year-old father of six and grandfather
of seven whose luxurious office suite has a command
ing view of the Las Colinas canals. It is only coinciden
tal, one of his twin daughters explains, but the suite is
No. 700, a number representing perfection according
to many Biblical scholars.
Brewer said he was a “10 fifths a week alcoholic” be
fore he became a Christian in 1974 and joined (Calvary
Temple, an Assembly of God congregation. While at
tending the Irving church, he was introduced lo Swag
gart by its minister, the Rev. Don George.
“He was on our church board and Jinnm Swaggart
came to town for a building dedication," George ex
plained.
George also introduced Swaggart’s New ()i leans law
yer. Bill Treeby, to Brewer.
Brewer became close friends with Swaggtirt and even
appeared on his television program to give a lompel-
ling Christian testimony.
Panel: Justice system
should be declared
in state of emergency
AUSTIN (AP) — The gover
nor should declare the entire
criminal justice system in a state
of “emergency disarray,” a House
subcommittee on alternatives to
prison construction said Monday.
Gov. Bill Clements should di
rect lawmakers to develop imme
diately “a comprehensive restruc
turing that will return the control
of our homes and property to
law-abiding citizens,” said the re
port presented by Rep. Ric Wil
liamson, D-Weatherford, to the
House Appropriations Commit
tee.
“We conclude that unless a
comprehensive Texas criminal
justice system management plan
is written and implemented im
mediately, the addition of even
one prison bed is a waste of our
taxpayers’ money,” the report
said.
The five-member subcommit
tee heard last week from state of
ficials and corrections experts.
Clements has called for nearly
11,000 new prison beds, with con
struction financed by $343 mil
lion in bonds. Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby
and House Speaker Gib Lewis
also have voiced support for
bonding to pay for prison con
struction.
“We believe that Governor
Clements, Lieutenant Governor
Hobby and House Speaker Lewis
represent the best leadership
combination that Texas could
hope for in rebuilding the crimi
nal justice system,” the report
added.
But the subcommittee said it
would be unable to recommend
new prison construction until and
unless the criminal justice system
is reformed to address a series of
weaknesses and cost inefficien
cies.
The report concluded:
“We understand and agree
with what our taxpayers expect —
get tough on crime. Unfortu
nately, these 11,000 beds will not
give our taxpayers the system
they demand. Our steets will not
be significantly safer; our homes
will not be significantly more se
cure; our families will not be bet
ter protected.”
The subcommittee said it was
divided on the idea of issuing
bonds to pay for prison construc
tion.
“The additional interest cost of
$342.4 million could be better in
vested in delivering needed serv
ices to our taxpayers,” the panel
reported.
Reggie Bashur, Clements’
press secretary, said: “We think
that 11,000 new beds are essen
tial. They are the bare minimum.
At the same time, we do believe
that alternatives to incarceration
are needed.”
Bashur, who noted that Clem
ents last year convened a criminal
justice summit meeting that rec
ommended reforms, added that
the governor’s office wants to
take a close look at the report and
to work in cooperation with law
makers.
Among suggestions offered as
a starting point for public debate
by the subcommittee were:
• The governor and Legis
lature should debate and enact
structural policy changes in the
Texas Board of Corrections and
Board of Pardons and Paroles.
• The state should define the
number of prison beds it can af
ford and then reserve the space
for hardened criminals.
• The judiciary needs greater
flexibility in sentencing and a
broad range of punishment sanc
tions.
• The state should make a
massive investment in locally con
trolled, state-funded confine
ment centers.
• Parole should be extended
only to those who demonstrate
the ability to re-enter society as
law-abiding citizens.

She’s always dieting. Always dissatisfied. She’s obsessed
with her weight. And now you wonder what happened to that
happy person who had such an appetitefor living.
If your daughter is totally obsessed with
being thin, she may be suffering from an
eating disorder like anorexia nervosa or
bulimia. People with anorexia nervosa
have an overwhelming fear of becoming
fat. And If they don’t get help, anorexics
literally starve to death.
Instead of avoiding food, people with
bulimia binge on huge amounts of food,
then purge, either by vomiting or using
diuretics or laxatives.
Both disorders cause severe medical
problems, and can be fatal. So if you think
your daughter has an eating disorder, call
the number below for help. Our family-
based program is covered by many
insurance plans. In a warm supportive
environment, patients learn the skills to
deal with their compulsive behavior.
If your daughter has become irrational
about eating, call us. Now. We can help
you reach your daughter. And help her get
back to a healthier life.
