Research group designs program
for drug prevention curriculum
By Andrea Warrenburg
Of The Battalion Staff
drug-free, and this means even tobacco free.”
A consistent “no-use” message is incorporated
into the curriculum at all grade levels and in most
subjects.
A Texas A&M research group has designed an
innovative drug prevehtion curriculum to help
students and teachers become an active part of
the solution to the drug problem.
The 1,086 page curriculum, to be infused into
the current curriculum required by law, has de
tailed lessons for students from pre-kindergarten
to 12th grade built around the theme “Education
for Self-Responsibility: Prevention of Drug Use.”
A&M received a $200,000 contract from the
Texas Education Agency for the curriculum pro
ject in September 1988.
The project is headed by Dr. B.E. “Buzz” Pru
itt, an A&M associate professor of health educa
tion.
“What is unique about this curriculum is it
makes drug education a part of every subject at
every level,” Pruitt said. “This document aims to
change the environment of schools to be truly
“W,
e want the ‘no-use’ message
as common in all subjects as the
‘spell-correctly’ message. We’ll
make subjects come alive by
bringing in the contemporary issue
of not using drugs.”

A&M associate professor of
health education

“We want the ‘no-use’ message as common in
all subjects as the ‘spell-correctly’ message,” Pru
itt said. “We'll make subjects come alive by bring
ing in the contemporary issue of not using
drugs.”
Pruitt said he went to school districts all ov f
Texas and asked them for their best teacher
different subjects.
“We’re interested in the role-modeling imp;
of teachers teaching these lessons," Pruitt saiij
“We want the teachers to become creatively
vested in this concept of infusing drug earn
tion.”
Pruitt’s research staff, which included lOOtea
chers and 60 other professionals, worked ever
day for seven months to complete the documer
in time for the 1989-90 school year, rewrili#
each page 23 times.
Although every school district in Texas rt
ceived a copy of the document this summer,it
not required that they use it.
He said the curriculum is not the answertoit
drug problem, but is a major contribution.
“If
one lesson somewhere delays one diili
from using drugs — it is a roaring success,”Pmi
said.
Copies of the curriculum also have been tr
quested by eight states and some foreign com
tries.
Fort Worth murder suspect
accused of two sexual assaults
FORT WORTH (AP) —The sus
pect in the abduction and sex-slaying
of an eighth-grade girl last week also
has been accused of other sexual as
saults, including the August rape of
a 13-year-old girl at his father’s
church while choir members prac
ticed upstairs, authorities said.
Kenneth Reed Smith, 20, of Fort
Worth, was arraigned late Saturday
on a charge of capital murder in
connection with the death of Amy
Lynn Thatcher, 14, of Fort Worth.
She was abducted Friday. Judge
Thomas L.G. Ross set bail at
$100,000.
At the time of his arrest, Smith
was being sought on an aggravated
sexual assault warrant in connection
with the Aug. 19 attack of a 13-year-
old girl at knife point, authorities
said.
Smith, a recent parolee, also was
arraigned on the unrelated aggra
vated sexual assault charge stem
ming from an Aug. 19 attack. Bond
was set at $30,000.
In that incident, the victim told
E olice she was raped in the basement
itchen of New Hope Missionary
Baptist Church in Fort Worth while
the choir was practicing. Smith’s fa
ther is a pastor at the church.
Smith also is awaiting trial on an
aggravated sexual assault charge in
connection with a January attack at
knife point of a 37-year-old woman.
The woman told police she was
dragged to the side of First Pilgrim
Valley Baptist Church in Fort Worth
and then raped. Smith’s wallet was
found nearby.
Police planned to question Smith
in other similar crimes in the city,
said Fort Worth Police Sgt. Paul
Kratz of the department’s homicide
division.
Annie Smith said her son was be
ing wrongly portrayed.
“Let me tell you about my Ken
neth,” Mrs. Smith said. “My Ken-
Minority groups join
to alter election methods
of district judicial races
MIDLAND (AP) — Blacks and
Hispanics have joined to legally chal
lenge the way state district judges
are elected in Texas, a system they
maintain is discriminatory.
The League of United Latin
American Citizens, three black for
mer district judges from Dallas and
other groups are suing the state in
federal court to force nine populous
counties to elect judges from single
member judicial districts. If they
win, the current at-large election sys
tem could be radically altered.
The non-jury trial was scheduled
to begin here Monday before U.S.
District Judge Lucius Bunton. Testi
mony is expected to last two weeks.
The counties named in the suit
are Bexar, Dallas, Ector, Harris, Jef
ferson, Lubbock, Midland, Tarrant
and Travis. They include five of the
state’s six most populous counties.
The exception is El Paso, which orig
inally was included in the suit but
was thrown out because Hispanics
recently became the majority of the
registered voters.
About 10 percent of state district
judges are black or Hispanic, though
those groups make up one-third of
the state’s population.
The plaintiffs contend that mi
nority judicial candidates are less
likely to win elections when the en
tire county votes for the full slate of
judges. To correct for what they see
as a discriminatory imbalance, they
want judges to be elected from sin
gle-member districts — smaller geo
graphical districts within counties.
They are suing under Section 2 of
the Voting Rights Act, which prohib
its laws and practices that discrimi
nate against minority voters and al
lows them to challenge those laws
and practices in federal court. Re
cent decisions by the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals and a federal
judge in Brownsville have opened
the door to challenges of judiciary
elections under the Voting Rights
Act.
The state’s argument can be
boiled down to the old adage: “If it
ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” And Renea
Hicks, the special assistant attorney
general who will defend the state,
said the system isn’t broken.
But plaintiffs contend the system
is in danger — that more and more
black and Hispanic citizens will lose
respect for the state judiciary if it re
mains dominated by Anglo men.

neth is quiet, gentle and understand-
ing.”
Mrs. Smith, a nurse at a Fort
Worth hospital, said her son has
been seeing a psychiatrist “off and
on” for treatment.
“This all seems out of context,”
she told the Dallas Morning News.
“It doesn’t fit the Kenneth I know.
Kenneth is a good boy who has his
problems.”
But friends and neighbors re
member a different individual.
“When he snapped he would be a
whole different person,” said Daniel
Griffin, a neighbor who said he has
known Smith for 11 years. “The
dude was just bad.”
Smith led police to Amy’s partially
clad body in a heavily wooded area
near Lake Arlington in Fort Worth
on Saturday, a day after the girl was
forced into a car as she walked alone
to Hadley Middle School, Kratz said.
Classmates said they had seen the
girl struggling with a man in a
speeding car about six blocks from
the school Friday morning.
Her body was found at a dump
site on the western shore of Lake Ar
lington, surrounded by old mat
tresses, tires and clothes.
Smith led authorities to the site af
ter he was arrested following an in
formant’s tip to his whereabouts,
Kratz said. He was arrested without
incident at a relative’s home.
He was ordered held at the Tar
rant County Jail.
Kratz said police believe Thatcher
was sexually assaulted before she
was strangled with a cord.
“She was a random victim,” Kratz
said. “From what we have pieced to
gether, he was out looking for a vic
tim and just spotted her.
Investigators said they believed
Amy was attacked in the field where
her body was found and that she was
likely killed within an hour of her
abduction, Kratz said.
Smith entered the Texas Depart
ment of Corrections in March 1987
after his conviction of auto theft and
escape, Kratz said. He was released,
but returned to prison in March
1988 on a parole violation. He was
released again last December.
Smith was then arrested in Jan
uary in connection with the assault
of the 37-year-old woman. He re
mained in the Tarrant County Jail
until he was released on bond in
June.
Smith told police he has a preg
nant girlfriend and has fathered
four children.

McAninch said he immediatel'

going to kill him if they didn't gel
the money, but I don’t knowwlial

“I was told that he and anothet
minister were kidnapped several
weeks ago by the Marti National
Liberation Front, or FMLN. The
other man was killed, and Sidney
