If attendance at club meetings has tapered off, KTSR
“Star” 92 radio personality and Aggie Hour host Chris
Michaels would like to help with free publicity.
“It’s a chance for them to give some information
about their group and activities,” Michaels said. “I call it
Friday Morning Yell, and I’m looking for groups to
come up every Thursday night at midnight and have
some ‘fun-talk,’ do some trivia, and give away some piz
za.”
Michaels started the Friday Morning Yell program to
keep Star 92 in better touch with the University. With
the addition of the program, Michaels said in his opin
ion Star 92 now devotes more of its programming to
A&M than does any other Bryan-College Station area
radio station.
“It’s the Aggie hour, and it should be for the students
with student input,” he said.
“I want the University to benefit 100 percent, if not
more,” Michaels said. “The only way I can do that is by
sharing one hour a week, and I want this hour to be

Drug dealers could face life sentences
AUSTIN (AP) — Big-time drug
dealers with repeat offenses could be
imprisoned for life without parole
and persons convicted of murder in
a drug deal could receive the death
penalty under bills proposed Mon
day.
State Rep. Dan Morales, chairman
of the House Criminal Jurispru
dence Committee, said he will ask
Gov. Bill Clements to open the
agenda oFthe November special leg
islative session to include his legis
lation.
“Getting dealers off the streets has
got to remain a top state priority,”
Morales, D-San Antonio, said at a
news conference.
Clements has said he will call legis
lators back into a special session Nov.
14 to work on the state workers’
compensation system. The gover
nor, who controls what legislation
can be considered in special session,
has declined to say what, if any,
other issues he will open for consid
eration.
But Morales, a Democratic Party
candidate for state attorney general,
said he was confident Clements
would open the session for the pro
posals because the public is “fed up
with rhetoric and I think they’re
going to demand action.”

Richards optimistic over poll; Mattox scoffs
AUSTIN (AP) — State Treasurer
Ann Richards’ campaign Monday
voiced optimism over results of a
new opinion poll showing her run
ning substdhtially ahead of Attorney
General Jim Mattox, who scoffed at
the survey.
“We’re guardedly optimistic,” said
Glenn Smith, Richards’ campaign
manager. “I believe it shows that
when you run a positive campaign,
positive things happen.”
Mattox, meanwhile, shrugged off
the survey which showed him with 8
percent support among likely 1990
Democratic primary voters.
Mattox, who has raised some $4
million for the race although he
hasn’t formally declared, said the
findings were “inconsistent with our
polling data and with other polls that
have been floating around the state.
I am not seeking the governorship
because of polls, but because I want
to make some changes in our state.”
The poll was published Sunday by
the Houston Chronicle and the Dal
las Morning News.
The survey of 459 likely Demo
cratic voters, taken Sept. 5-13,
showed Richards with 35 percent
support; former Gov. Mark White,
23 percent; Mattox, 8 percent; for
mer Gov. Dolph Briscoe, 7 percent;
and state Sen. John Montford, 2 per
cent. Twenty-five percent were un
sure or favored no one.
The margin of error of the survey
is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
Those surveyed were among 1,024
registered voters interviewed across
the state in key urban and rural pre
cincts to determine early voter lean
ings.
On the Republican side, Railroad
Commission Chairman Kent Hance
led among likely GOP primary vot
ers.
Of the 384 who said they would
likely vote in the GOP primary
March 13, Hance had the support of
33 percent; Midland businessn
Clayton Williams, 12 percent; foi
mer Secretary of State Jack Rains,!
percent; and Dallas lawyer
Luce, 1 percent. Fifty-one perat
were unsure or.Jbr no one.
The margin of error for the fill
GOP primary voters is plus or mini!
6 percentage points.
