Three Texas A&M students are from this country. Facts about Syria: • Official name: Syrian Arab Republic • Area: 85,170 sq. mi. (about the size of North Dakota) • Population: 10.5 million • Capital: Damascus • Languages: Arabic (official), English (widely understood), French, Kurdish, Armenian • Religions: Sunni Moslem, other Moslem sects, Christianity, Judaism, Yazidis • Literacy: 78 percent (men), 58 percent (women) • Life Expectancy: 66 years • Currency: Syrian pound (One U.S. dollar = 3.9 Syrian pounds) TURKEY ^ : SYRIA I UtAnon,VOim^> EGYPT ' : SAUDI ARABIA: Local, federal officials look for three escaped cellmates SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Local, federal and Mexican officials searched Monday for three inmates, including one suspected of leading a multimillion dollar drug ring, who pulled a gun on a guard and escaped from a privately-run jail. The three men — Mario Alberto Salinas Trevino, Charlie Edward Compton and Juan Chapa Garza — left the Central Texas Parole Viola tors Facility, where they were cel lmates, late Sunday night on foot. Salinas, 37, led one of the largest drug-smuggling and money-laun dering rings between Texas and Mexico, authorities said. He was among 25 people arrested last year in “Operation Jet Set,” a series of raids by federal authorities in Cali fornia and Texas. Law enforcement authorities sus pect Salinas will go to Mexico, about 150 miles away, because he may have access to millions of dollars there. “That’s a logical escape route,” U.S. Marshall Bill Jonas said. “If that’s the case, I think he’s acting ill- advisedly. I have every reason to be lieve the Mexican government will cooperate with us.” Customs agents on both sides of the border were alerted to the es cape, he said. But Compton has strong ties in San Antonio, Jonas said, and photo graphs of the three men were circu lated to area police departments and news outlets. Compton was awaiting trial on possession of cocaine with intent to distribute charges. Chapa was charged with possession of mari juana with intent to distribute. The fugitives’ cases were not con nected, Jonas said, but added, “I would think that the three of them would stay together for a while.” Authorities seized $10 million from Salinas when he was arrested last year. He’s suspected of having up to $10 million in drug money stashed in Texas or Mexico, Jonas said. Jonas said Marshall’s Service pris oners usually are kept in county fa cilities. But overcrowded conditions forced Bexar County officials to con tract with a Florida company, Wack- enhut Corp., to house inmates at a facility across the street from the downtown police headquarters. The three men left the medium- security facility about 9 p.m. Sunday, officials said. Compton pretended to be sickle lure a guard to the cell then pulled a .25-cahber handgun on him, Jonas said. The three inmates then locked up two guards in a closet and over powered another before seizing the security control panels and opening a door, he said. Youth killed, others shot in gang-related attacks AUSTIN (AP) — A 14-year-old boy was killed and five other youths were shot in two separate attacks Sun day that police said were gang-related. Chris Lament Dean was shot to death near the Sixth Street entertainment district. Later, shooting erupted at Town Lake’s Festival Beach Park, just east of Interstate 35, sending members of two rival gangs to local hospitals. None of the gunshot wounds were life-threatening, according to officials. Police would not comment on whether the Sunday evening shooting was connected to the earlier shooting near Sixth Street. Dean was shot once in the chest with a .22-caliber pis tol, according to the Travis County medical examiner’s office. Police described the gunman as a 16- to 19-year-old Hispanic. Jury selection starts up in trial of fired Houston police officer DALLAS (AP) — Jury selection began Monday in the murder trial of a former Houston police officer ac cused of killing a woman after a 12- mile freeway chase. Dozens of spectators from Hous ton, including members of the Ida Lee Delaney - Byron Gillum Justice Committee, arrived to watch the start of proceedings against Alex Gonzales. Gonzales, 25, is accused of killing Delaney, 50, last fall while he was off-duty. Delaney and Gillum, 24, both black, were fatally shot within two weeks of each other last fall by city police officers. The officer sus pected of shooting Gillum was not indicted. Some of the spectators were ushered out to allow 60 potential ju rors into the Dallas County court room, where state District Judge Ted Poe moved the trial on a change of venue. Committee co-chair Ada Edwards said more than 40 people drove to Dallas early Monday “to make sure the community is aware of what hap pened.” “We’re very, very concerned that justice be done in this case,” Ed wards said. Some attorneys volunteered to watch the trial with committee mem bers, she said. Edwards said the activists were more concerned with the process than the outcome of Gonzales’ mur der trial. But, she said, “He is guilty of killing Ida Delaney. Now if they want to get technical about what level of guilt, I can’t speak to that.” Don Smyth, who heads the Harris County District Attorney’s office’s civil rights division and is prosecut ing Gonzales, said testimony will be gin Tuesday. Delaney was driving to work on a Houston freeway when Gonzales and two other off-duty officers chased her in an unmarked car. Af ter she pulled over, Delaney and Gonzales exchanged gunfire. Gonzales’ attorney, Mike Hinton, said Delaney fired first and Gonzales was acting to stop her from injuring them. The off-duty officers had been at tending a birthday party at a night club for several hours before the shooting. Hospital records showed Gonzales was legally intoxicated when he sought treatment for gun shot wounds to the abdomen. All three officers were fired, but only Gonzales was indicted on a murder charge by a grand jury. All are appealing their firings to inde pendent arbitrators. Campus (Continued from page 1) prepare our Ph.Ds for the leaching road,” Gage said. “They may never become faculty, hut we still owe itto them.” Gage said he believes that in two or three years, a doctoral degree from A&M will be in very high de mand because of their quality train ing. Instructors who are interested in furthering their teaching abilities may receive help from the Center for Teaching Excellence, said Assis tant Director Ben Welch. Welch addressed the board about the advantages faculty'can receiveby using the center’s services. Faculty may request the center to videotape their lectures and evaluate techniques that may hinder their de livery of information to classes. The center also holds workshops and seminars as well as presentations for departments and colleges. Welch said that this fall, the center will con duct an optional workshop for tea ching assistants who are concerned about their teaching methods. Welch said some faculty members have mistaken ideas about the cen ter. It is listed under the University Honors Program and, Welch said some instructors believe it only per tains to the honors program. The center soon will shift to the Office of the Assistant Provost and the Dean of Facilities.
