A&M group sponsors racial issues discussion
AUSTIN (AP) — A police experi
ment that closed Austin’s Sixth
Street nightclub strip to motor vehi
cles last weekend is getting mixed re
views.
Restaurant owners who were dis
pleased about the measure said their
customers stayed away for fear of
not finding parking places.
Bar owners, however, were more
happy about the the closing of the
street, and said their customers
showed up to drink beer and check
out bands.
The experiment banned parking
after 7 p.m. and traffic after 8 p.m.
on the stretch of East Sixth.
Price Fielden, general manager of
Steamboat 1874, said his restaurant
suffered one of its worst weekends
for a September.
“Our clientele figured they
couldn’t find a parking place, so they
didn’t come down,” he said.
For Joe Bates, owner of Joe’s Ge
neric Bar, it was a different story.
“Our business was up 25 percent,”
Bates said.
Less congested sidewalks and lack
of traffic in barricaded streets
helped attract customers, he said.
Deputy police chief Kenny Wil
liams said the experiment will con
tinue.
The second weekend of the pilot
project will include fine-tuning that
should help restaurants refill their
dining rooms, he said.
Traffic will be allowed on Sixth
Street until 9 p.m. this Friday and
Saturday, Williams said.
Texas A&M University’s Multi
cultural Services Center will pre
sent “Racism 101,” a PBS Front
line Video Thursday, Sept. 21 in
305 Rudder. The one-hour video
will be shown at noon and will be
followed by a discussion.
Lorinda Beckmann, senior sec
retary of the center, said that the
video features incidents that oc
curred at the University of Massa
chusetts and the University of
Michigan, and is intended to pro
mote awareness of racial issues.
“It’s a really good video-
will definitely make an impactonl
the viewer,” Beckmann said, "li
gives both students’ points of vieJ
— the minority point of viewandf
the Anglo point of view, onrac-l
ism and on the incidents thathapJ
pened at different campuses.”
Those interested in attendin;|
should contact Beckmann at 8-
4551 by 11 a.m. Thursday,
cause of limited seating arrange j

Concerned
officials try
DWI slogan
AUSTIN (AP) — Concerned
about a nine percent increase in the
number of driving-while-intoxicated
deaths, state officials have decided to
give motorists a sign — “DWI . . .
You Can’t Afford It.”
The new slogan is the foundation
of a pilot project started by the
Texas Department of Highways and
Public Transportation and the
Texas Commission on Alcohol and
Drug Abuse.
The project was prompted by
agency officials’ fears that the anti-
DWI efforts of recent years may be
losing momentum in Texas.
Last year, 1,363 people were
killed in wrecks, involving drunken
drivers statewide, a nine percent in
crease from 1987 when 1,250 people
died in DWI wrecks.
“There was a big anti-DWI push a
few years ago, but publicity has died
down somewhat,” Bob Dickson, ex
ecutive director of the Commission
on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, said.
State officials said they believed
that* reminding Texans of the costs
associated with drinking and driving
may help get their attention.
DWI cost the state $450 million in
1988 in lost productivity and prop
erty loss, officials said.
A person convicted of DWI faces
an average cost of $3,200 in attor
neys fees, fines, probation fees and
court costs, according to a Highway
Department traffic specialist.
The following incidents were
reported to the University Police
Department between Sept. 8 and
Monday.
