They're not too anxious to make those moves that would jeopardize themselves " Clements has the authority to commute Earvin's sentence to life in prison, but has declined to do so in similar capnai cases.

Number One in Aggieland to hr executed since the state re turned capital punishment in 1982 and the third this year. Attorney General Jim Mattox has listed Earvin's as the most likeh of several executions now scheduled. Earvin was 18 and had just lost his job at a Lufkin factory when authori ties say he and a 15-vear-old girlf riend held up Brock, who was carry ing cash bags from the station to his car. Brock was shot in the chest with a shot gun as he reached into his back pocket. Earvin, who said he thought the man was going for a gun, (led with none of the estimated $300 Brock was carry ing “I can't tell you how regretful I’ve been." he said. “I have mixed emotions about it.” he said of his possible death “It ihanges from moment to moment. I'm not trying to justify anything. I guess everybody would like to be re membered light " in a most favorable Earvin was described at the time of his trial as remorseless and coc ky and allegedly joked about the slav ing He said Wednesday he is not the same person that arrived on death row 13 years ago. Satan (Continued from page 1) symbols on book covers and in pub lic places Nome mav also involve the mutila tion of animals, robbing graves, chanting and burning cancfles. “We often find these people tend to beat up on their families — par ents. grandparents and siblings.” Sloat said. “Mans of these kids have all types of behavioral problems any time they get into a social situation " The six areas of concern in hea\ i metal music are: aggressive behav ior. explicit sex. fascination with the occult, inappropriate language, fas cination witn death and suicide and references to drug and alcohol use and abuse “In every case related to occult crimes, homicide and suicide, heavy metal music has been present 100 percent of the time and 1 have nevci seen an exception to that rule.” Sloai said. The five movements are sects, cults, witchcraft, paganism and sata- nism. he said. First, sects, can be organizations such as Catholic. Jewish and Mor mon. This movement includes anv groups who think alike, and gener ally c io not participate in criminal ac tivity. Cults, systems of religious or “ma- gikal” (this spelling represents the occult movement) beliefs. Included in this category are destructive reli- J jous cults, such as The Wav. Jim ones and God's Children. The witchcraft movement, which has mostly female followers, is based on a belief in a god or goddess. T he participants do not prac tice satamsm nor is murder a ritual, contrary to many television portrayals. Paganism, is the practice of worshiping Greek and Egyptian mythological gods, and followers oi satamsm are nevoted to the works of the devil. “When we talk about the occult movement, we're talking about groups that practice witchcraft, pa ganism and satanism blended toge ther," he said. Sloat discussed four types of oc cult groups —dabblers, self-stvled, unorthodox and religious. The dabbler group consists of ex perimenters. with ages ranging from eight to 75. Sloat said. “These people start reading books on the occult and listen to others talk about the occult.” he said. “Many high school and college students are involved in this particular movement.” These groups have little organiza tion, are loose in structure and don't have definite types of ceremonies or rituals. Sloat said alcohol and marijuana, also hallucinogens, tend to be the drugs of choice among dabblers Participants wear symbolic jew elry. burn candles and chant. Mahv sacrifice small animals such^ils cats and chickens, he said Many dabblers are involved in fantasy role-playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons. When dabblers' needs aren't satis fied after participating in all these activities, they graduate into the self- stvled category. Sloat said. Self-styled worshiping consists of rituals and ceremonies individuals or groups have designed to suit their needs. Unorthodox groups are the most unpredictable and dangerous ot all, he said.Many of these fmiups can also be self-stvled. depending on the leader. "They are well-organized and clandestine, making them difficult to identify bv law enforcement," Skiat said. Members are usually profession als such as ministers, doctors or po licemen. he said. “Thev use ‘breeders' to)pvr birth to children for sacrificial purposes," Sloat said. “Breeders are usually women who will have a child on the alter, either for sacrificial purposes or to be indoctrinated into the jroMp- most holy sacrifice to Satan is a newborn baby . This is because the baby has no sin and is pure in na ture. What they dd is cut the babv up, cannibalize it. drink the blood, eat the heart or other internal or gans while it is still warm in order to get the greatest amount of power They then burn the sacrifice and use the ashes in vanous other ceremo nies or rituals.” Sloan said some of the occultists collect knuckles, joints and fingers from the right hand to wear around ’ their necks at ceremonies. Various crimes committed bv these groups include kidnapping, sexual abuse, pornography, drug trafficking, child prostitution, bes tiality and"snuff films.” “A snuff film is where they bring somebody on camera, usually a voung person, involved in some type of explicit sexual activity,” he said. “A murder then lakes place. The bloodier the murder, the more money the snuff film will bring. The film is then sold on the black market for as much as $500,000.“ Sloat said the main reason people are involved in these unonnooox movements is for power, the ability to manipulate people, self-gratifica tion. money, sex and drugs. Charles Manson was involved in the unorthodox movement and committed as many as 200 murders in California. “Charlie was probably a member of every satank church in southern California.” Sloat said. "Many of the churches say he was there to just learn what he could so he could start his own self-stvled movement, which he called Helter Skelter.” _ Thursday MEXICAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION: will mMt at 8 p m m 112 Btockar to dn cuss student halpers tor a contoranca For mor* information caH 845-3618 TAMU ATARI USER GROUP will meet at 7:30 p.m. in Room 139 of the MSC to show and dwcuss new hardware and software products S.WJLP.: wtN meet at 8:30 p m. by Rudder Fountain to discuss condom storage and safety CATHOLIC STUDENTS ASSOCIATION: wW meet at 6 15 p.m at St Mary s Student Center Friday ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS: wifl meet at noon.
