Lawless as its new presi dent brings a blend of management and academic experience to the school, faculty and regents said. The school’s nine-member board of regents voted unanimously to ac cept Lawless, 52, executive vice pres ident and chief operations officer of Southwest Airlines, to succeed for mer President Lauro Cavazos, who stepped down from the 24,000-stu- dent school in August to become Secretary of Education. Two El Paso teens attend school with TB EL PASO (AP) — Health officials and doctors say they’ll bj? more vigi lant about tuberculosis after two El Paso teen-agers were found to have attended school for months while they were infectious with the di sease. Because the disease is uncommon in the United States, doctors fre quently mistake it for less-serious ill nesses such as the flu, said Dr. Stuart Polly, director of internal medicine at El Paso’s Thomason Hospital and a professor at Texas Tech University School of Medicine. But tuberculosis is more common in El Paso than in most of the United States because of its endemic poverty and proximity to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, a city of 1.1 million where tuberculosis is more widespread. There were 99 reported cases of tuberculosis in El Paso in 1988, up sharply from the 37 cases reported in 1987. Incidents of people who tested positive to exposure to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis was up, too — from 715 in 1987 to 1,100 in 1988. The numbers this year threaten to match last year’s, said Dr. Laurance Nickey, director of the El Paso City- County Health District. On Wednesday, more than 1,000 students, faculty and staff members at Guillen Intermediate School were tested for exposure to tuberculosis after it was discovered a student had been attending the school for four months while she had the disease. Similar screenings are scheduled next week at J. Harold Wiggs Middle School, where another student was diagnosed with tuberculosis after mon ths of attending classes while in fectious. About 10 percent of the students are expected to test positive for ex posure to tuberculosis and will un dergo preventive treatment, said Dr. Miguel Escobedo, a health district tuberculosis control officer. Nickey said doctors apparently mistook the students’ symptoms for other diseases such as flu. Lawless’ teaching experience at Houston and Texas A&M, where he earned a doctorate in operations re search, gives faculty confidence that the new president will understand the faculty’s point of view, Texas Tech faculty senate president Mi chael Stoune, a music professor, said. “He understands the university from both sides,” Stoune said. Regents chairman J. Fred Bucy said, “In Robert Lawless we have found an outstanding individual with the talent and vision toleadom institutions into a period of progress. We feel very fortunaten be able to name as our new presideii one of the most dynamic corporait executives in the nation, who is ak one of the most distinguished acade midairs.” Lawless, who did not immediate)! return a phone call to the Associated Press Thursday, will visit the Lult bock campus Monday for a nek conference and welcoming recef- tion, Buev said. Police look for suspects in sexual assault case A female was robbed and sex ually assaulted in her home in the 500 block of Highway 30 in Col lege Station March 6 at noon. The suspects knocked at the door and, when no one answered, forced their way into the house. The female resident, who was home alone, responded to noises and surprised the suspects ran sacking her home.
