Police Beat
The following incidents were reported to
the Texas A&M University Police Department
between March 2 and March 14. Due to the
length of Police Beat, the second half will ap
pear in The Battalion Thursday.
INDECENT EXPOSURE:
• A woman in the Harrington Education
Center reported that while she was studying
in a classroom a male exposed his genitals.
Two other students witnessed the offense.
• A man reported that while an individual
was showering in the first floor men’s room of
Ramp 7 Law Hall, a subject entered the room
and exposed his genitals. Several students wit
nessed the activity.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE:
• Officers responded to a call to assist the
TAMU Emergency Medical Services person
nel with an unconscious person in Dormitory
4. Investigation revealed that the man had
consumed an unknown quantity of alcohol
and an unknown substance in an attempt to
commit suicide. He was transported to Hu
mana Hospital for treatment.
WELFARE CONCERN/SUICIDAL SUB
JECT:
• A woman reported that she knew of a
suicidal man and requested assistance in locat
ing him. She said he had delivered a hand
written will to his girlfriend. A UPD officer lo
cated the man at a telephone located by the 7-
11 Store on University Drive. The man agreed
to be transported to the Humana Hospital for
evaluation. He later voluntarily admitted him
self to Greenleaf Hospital.
SEXUAL ASSAULT:
• A woman reported that she was sexually
assaulted in August 1989 by her ex-boyfriend
in her residence hall room. She said she had
read an article on date rape recently and
shortly thereafter sought psychological coun
seling at A&M.
PUBLIC INTOXICATION/TERRORIS
TIC THREAT:
• An officer was dispatched to the south
side of Walton Hall in reference to a possible
fight in progress. Investigation revealed that
two unidentified females, who were being fol
lowed by two unknown males, had asked two
bystanders to tell the men to leave them alone.
The suspects followed the women to their
room shouting obscenities and threatening to
harm them. Both men were arrested and
charged with public intoxication and terroris
tic threats. They were jailed in the Brazos
Countyjail.
ASSAULT:
• A man reported that his wife and two
friends were struck in the face and upper
body by eggs as they walked east on Hensel
Drive March 4. When a small dark-colored
van passed, one or more of the occupants
threw eggs at them.
• A man reported that on March 12, he
was struck on the chest and arms by eggs
which were thrown from a vehicle by a female.
The apprehension of the suspects in the fol
lowing report will clear this offense.
• An officer was working a surveillance de
tail March 12 in the Married Student Housing
area to identify the individuals responsible for
the recent assaults on people who were struck
by eggs thrown from a vehicle. At 10:33 p.m.
the officer was advised of an assault that had
just occurred at Skaggs Alpha Beta and that
the victim was assaulted by an individual
throwing eggs. The officer located the suspect
vehicle, a dark colored GMC Jimmy on U-V
Row at Hensel Drive. As the marked patrol
units moved into the area to stop the vehicle,
the officer observed an individual walk to
wards the vehicle. The subject was struck with
something that was thrown from the vehicle.
Investigating units stopped the vehicle and
identified the driver, front seat passenger and
four juveniles in the back seat. A man ran up
to the officers and told them he had just been
hit with eggs. The man said that while one of
the occupants asked directions to the Memo
rial Student Center, one of the children threw
eggs striking him in the chest. Representatives
of the College Station Police Department have
joined UPD’s investigation to identify all of
fenses attributed to these subjects. Formal
charges against all parties involved were filed
Tuesday.
CRIMINAL MISCHIEF:
• A Waco woman was detected by the li
brary staff removing pages from magazines.
She was collecting recipes and was very apol
ogetic when informed that what she was doing
could result in criminal charges.
• A man reported that he had found a
Wall Street Journal newspaper vending ma
chine pushed over. An officer observed that
the vending machine was resting with its “win
dow” side down on the sidewalk. The owner
of the vending machine, Brazos News Service,
was contacted.
• Someone in the Eller Oceanography and
Meteorology Building reported that a stair
way wall and approximately 20 flights of
handrails had been spattered with red ink or
dye. The handrails sustained additional dam
age from the impact of ten rocks which were
dropped from the 11th floor.
• During foot patrol of campus property, a
security officer discovered that the lower glass
g anel on the southeast exterior door of the
locker Building had been broken.
• During foot patrol of campus property,
an officer discovered the mirror in the em
ployees’ men’s room of the Commons had
been shattered.
• A woman reported that her 1986 Toyota
truck was damaged while parked on railroad
property.
• A Round Rock man reported that the
windshield of his 1980 Chevrolet truck had
been broken while parked by the southwest
corner of the Facilities and Planning Building.
• During patrol of the Research Park, two
officers observed that the stop sign on the cor
ner of Research Parkway and Systems Loop
had been broken in half.
FELONY CRIMINAL MISCHIEF/UNAU
THORIZED USE OF A VEHICLE:
• A man was arrested and charged with the
above offenses for driving a John Deere Hy
draulic Excavator with 13-foot arm into the
loading dock door of G. Rollie White Col
iseum. The preliminary estimate of repair cost
to the equipment is $36,393. The cost to re-
E air damage to the coliseum, the curb and
lading dock pavement was estimated to be
between $12,000 and $15,000. The total cost
will not be known until final inspection of the
equipment and coliseum is completed. The
man was jailed in the Brazos Countyjail.
FALSE ALARM OR REPORT:
• Someone in Fermier Hall received a call
March 8 from a subject who said that a mech
anism would go off in Fermier Hall. The
proctor requested that the building be evac
uated until the search of the building was
completed. No device was detected, and per
sonnel were allowed to reenter the building.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT:
• A Bryan man was arrested and charged
with Disorderly Conduct after a fight. He was
jailed in the Brazos Countyjail.
• During patrol of campus property, an of
ficer observed two vehicles pull into Hensel
Park and drive to the end of the parking area.
The drivers of the vehicles exited immediately
and engaged in an intense argument. The of
ficer moved towards the two because it was ap
parent a fight was imminent. He requested ad
ditional police units and called to the two to
cease their activity. One of the subjects started
swinging at the other subject, landing several
blows. This person was identified, issued a ci
tation for disorderly conduct and released.
Legislators work on
selection bill
AUSTIN (AP) — Chances of pass
ing a judicial selection bill during the
current special legislative session are
slipping, House Speaker Gib Lewis
said Tuesday, but minority lawmak
ers said their plan will solve the
problem.
Black and Hispanic legislators and
Democratic Party officials blamed
Gov. Bill Clements for the impasse
with a week left in the 30-day special
session and various judicial propo
sals still sitting in committees.
When asked how lawmakers can
change Clements’ mind, state Rep.
Orlando Garcia, D-San Antonio,
said, “That assumes he has a mind.”
Clements called the Legislature
into session for public school reform
and to address U.S. District judge
Lucius Bunton’s decision that the
countywide method of electing state
judges in nine urban counties vio
lates the Votitig Rights Act.
After meeting Tuesday with
Clements and Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby,
Lewis said lawmakers have failed to
reach a consensus on finding a rem
edy to Bunton’s decision.
“It’s going to be very difficult to
get a judicial selection bill passed this
session,” Lewis, D-Fort Worth, said.
But leaders of the Black and Mex
ican American legislative caucuses
said their proposal would serve as a
temporary solution. The plan is sim
ilar to one offered by Bunton except
it maintains partisan elections.
Under the proposal, state district
court candidates in Harris, Dallas,
Tarrant and Bexar counties would
run from the same single member
districts as do state representatives.
Assault
(Continued from page 1)
tims in all seven incidents could
identify the vehicle and knew the li
cense plate number, this evidence
would oe considered insufficient in
court since the suspects themselves
could not be identified from a pass
ing car at night.
Wiatt said that although police re
ports stated that all the victims were
Oriental, he did not consider the as
saults to be “hate crimes”.
The victims involved in the other
incidents would not press charges.
Wiatt said he thought this might be
due to an unwillingness to get in
volved.
“They have the mind-set that to
even be a victim in a
crime might get back to uieir gov
ernments, and that those govern
ments would assume they were
doing something that they should
not have been a part of,” Wiatt said.
Wiatt said those countries encour
age their citizens abroad to be above
reproach, behave themselves, and to
avoid scandal.
“This country is different,” Wiatt
said. “We encourage citizens to re
port crimes.”
r\ny student who has
been involved in any assault
(especially the recent
assaults) should report all
other occurrences so UPD
can better identify the
suspects.
— Bob Wiatt,
UPD director of security
Wiatt said any student who has
been involved in any assault (espe
cially the recent assaults) should re
port all other occurrences so UPD
can better identify the suspects.
Panama
(Continued from page 1)
confiscated from the traffickers. In
turn, he said, Noriega is a wealthy
man.
He said all of the Panamanians
are glad Noriega is gone.
“Now that Noriega is gone, the
Panamanians will have the opportu
nity to build good relations with the
United States and be called a
friend,” he said. “Also, Panama can
become its own person.”
1 he goal ot ms presentation was
to interest people in the foreign rela
tions of another country, he said.
Stephens was born in Panama. He
and his family lived there until 1984,
when they moved to Germany. Ste
phens attended the University of
Maryland in Munich, where he
earned a two-year degree in liberal
arts.
He transfered to A&M last year.
That decision was influenced by the
fact that his father graduated from
A&M in 1957.
Silence
(Continued from page 1)
letters to all department heads to
encourage a moment of silence
during noon classes on the two
days, Reilly said. Buchman and
Sandlin also will make sure that
bells don’t ring at noon.
Chong Liu, a senior electrical
engineering major at A&M and
co-sponsor of the bill, said the
moments of silence for Chinese
students show that A&M students
care about what goes on outside
of the United States.
“We (A&M students) support
democracy, and the moment of
silence shows others that we rec
ognize the efforts of the students
in China,” Liu said.
Liu said the reaction of the Stu
dent Senate to the resolution was
positive, and some senators now
are talking about making a reso
lution for the people of Eastern
Europe.
