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.
