Clerical error
frees convict
by mistake
Released prisoner
plays before surrendering
HOUSTON (AP) — A man mis
takenly ' freed from the Harris
County Jail six hours into a 25-year
prison term turned himself in Tues
day after what he called a virtual
week-long party.
John Horkan, 25, surrendered to
State District Judge George God
win’s courtroom where he was sen-'
tenced last week. Harris County
Sheriffs deputies returned him to
jail.
An arrest warrant for Horkan was
issued last Thursday after jailors dis
covered the clerical error that freed
him.
Horkan, in an interview with the
Houston Chronicle before his sur
render, said he just wanted to get in
all the gusto he could.
“I know what’s coming, and I can’t
stop it,” he said of his imminent
prison term. “What’s done is done,
so I’m going to get in as much as I
can. I want to go back with some
memories.”
“It’s not going to be real pleasant
if I go back,” Horkan said. “At least
they can’t file escape (charges) on
me, I know that. They let me out.”
Annual residence hall conference
focuses on new social programmin
By SELINA GONZALEZ
Of The Battalion Staff
Hall residents from colleges
and universities across Texas will
meet at Texas A&M from Thurs
day to Sunday to learn about Res
idence Hall Association pro
grams.
The Texas Residence Hall As
sociation Conference 1990 will
focus on social programming in
the halls, TRHA Chairman Matt
Krasin said.
I he purpose of the
conference is to have
the delegates go back to
their respective schools
and apply what they
learn to situations in their
haHs.” _
— Matt Krasin,
TRHA chairman
Krasin said 350 to 400 dele
gates will participate in programs
such as Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Prevention and Male/Fernale
Relationship Enhancement.
“The delegates could be RHA
officers, hall council presidents or
just people who live in the halls,”
Krasin said. “The University of
Texas is sending 40 delegates
which is the most they have ever
sent.”
Other universities that will be
represented at the conference are
University of North Texas, Texas
Tech, St. Mary’s University and
Trinity, he said.
“The purpose of the confer
ence is to have the delegates go
back to their respective schools
and apply what they learn tosiii
ations in their halls," Krasinsaid
The delegates will stay at ik
College Station Hilton. Km
said the cost of the event is it-
eluded in the conference fa
which is paid by the delegated
by the university, depending m
the school.
The conference programs art
strictly for the delegates and ml
he closed to the public, he said.
T he Texas Resident HallAsstt
ciation Conference was at Tea'
A&M in 1983, Krasin said. Tk
annual state conference has a hit
tory that is 10 to 15 years old.
“Texas A&M is a perfect plan
to have a conference,” Krast'
said. "We have a really stroai
school and we have a lotof peoplf
behind us.
“All I have heard from dele
gates is how excited they ait
about visiting A&M.”
Administrative mistake costs over $1 millioii
Department of Human Services trims staff
Horkan was sentenced to 25 years
in prison last Tuesday following his
conviction on a charge of delivering
the drug Ecstasy to an undercover
officer.
Prosecutor Chuck Neill was not
amused upon learning that Horkan
has been having a good time with his
fleeting freedom.
AUSTIN (AP) — An administrative mistake cost the
Texas Department of Human Services more than $1
million and added to a budget crunch that cost 45 peo
ple their jobs Tuesday, agency officials confirmed.
Commissioner Ron Lindsey said hundreds of DHS
workers at state headquarters in Austin were given
raises too early, hastening $3 million in cutbacks that
eliminated 105 Austin jobs.
“It was my fault,” Lindsey said. “I take responsibility
for it. But even if we hadn’t spent that money on raises,
we would still be in a position of laying off people and
eliminating jobs.”
Lindsey said he approved merit raises for a nunfa
of the 2,200 employees at DHS headquarters soonafe
he became commissioner in August 1989.
In the past, the agency had given the raises—wi
were authorized by the Legislature — at the endoti
budget cycle to ensure that other programs did noire
short. State agency budgets begin each September.
“I didn’t make myself clear,” Lindsey told the Aie
American-Statesman.“When I was asked about raise
said, ‘Go ahead and give them, if we have the mom
and so they were all given immediately.
