Awareness group seeks input to solve security problems By Mia B. Moody Of The Battalion Staff Security problems on Texas A&M’s campus must be voiced before they can be corrected. The A&M Security Awareness Committee, a group which re views the effectiveness of Univer sity security programs, needs complaints and suggestions from students and faculty members on campus-related security prob lems. Robert Smith, vice president of finance and administration, said that before the committee can get to the root of crime and safety problems it has to know where they exist. “Committee members report problems that they hear people talking about and then we decide what can be done,” Smith said. Smith said one program that the committee wants people to take advantage of is the $10,000 reward fund. “The fund was set up by the Former Student Association and the University to reward people who give information on people involved in campus-related cri mes,” he said. Elmer Schneider, associate di rector of security for the Univer sity Police Department, said the group has considered the issue of emergency phones and lighting around residence halls. “We are working with the Resi dence Hall Association to make sure areas that surround halls are well lighted,” Schneider said. “We also have reviewed the areas where emergency phones are lo cated and will decide whether we need to add or relocate phones.” Schneider said the committee has representatives from Student Affairs, the Faculty Senate, Stu dent Government, the Corps and other organizations. Lorenzo predicts steady recovery for reorganized Eastern Airlines HOUSTON (AP) — Texas Air Chairman Frank Lorenzo said Wednesday that Eastern Airlines is continuing to recover from a bitter strike and will emerge from bank ruptcy reorganization proceedings as a better carrier. “The rebuilding of Eastern is on target,” Lorenzo said at the annual Airport Operators Council Interna tional Conference. Eastern’s machinists, pilots and flight attendants unions went on strike in March, forcing the Miami- based carrier to file for federal bank ruptcy protection. Eastern and Houston-based Continental Airlines are subsidiaries of Texas Air, which also is based in Houston. “We’re bringing Eastern back sounder, stronger and better than it’s been in years,” Lorenzo said at a luncheon at the Westin Galleria ho tel. Next year “will be a great year for Eastern. Its reorganization will be behind us. The airline will be pro viding aggressive, competitive serv ice up and down the East Coast, in and out of Atlanta and throughout South America. “This past weekend we added an other 100 flights, bringing us to about 70 percent of the pre-strike Eastern Airlines, or about 700 flights a day,” he said. “And I don’t mind telling you, that by December, we’ll be over 80 percent of the pre-strike airline.” But of the estimated 3,000 pre strike pilots, Lorenzo said “there’s probably going to be 2,000 pilots who may never see Eastern airlines again because they were misguided and brainwashed by a national orga nization that has refused to face up to where we are today, and indeed, has tried to take over control of East ern Airlines in an illegal way.” Lorenzo also talked about the en tire domestic airline industry, and the need for carriers to be free to fi nance their needs. There is an im portant link, he said, between the globalization of U.S. airlines and the current concern by some over lever aged buyouts and foreign invest ment in U.S. carriers. Lorenzo said in August he may consider selling a minority or con trolling interest in Continental, but he would not discuss the matter with reporters after Wednesday’s speech. Scandinavian Airline Systems al ready has a 9.9 percent stake in Con tinental. Although Lorenzo said he be lieve that domestic rarriers should remain U.S.-owned, he favored ing the federal restriction that53 foreign company can only fji maximum 10 percent of a carrier Lorenzo said he approved of Department of Transportation) retary Samuel Skinner’s "c a5f case” approach to foreign owners and leveraged buyouts.
