Call 174t7/27 AUSTIN (AP) — About half of some 30,000 low income pregnant women and their children can be re stored to a food program, but state health officials said Tuesday they still don’t have enough money to fully fund the service. The Texas Department of Health said recently passed federal legis lation allows the department to bor row from next year’s food funds to boost the Women, Infants and Chil dren program. “We now can restore at least some services to individuals,” Debra Sta- beno, director of the Texas WIC program, said. Rising food costs earlier this year caused the state to serve only those who showed medical signs of inade quate nutrition, Stabeno said Those cut from the program in cluded pregnant women and chil dren who were termed “at risk” be cause of inadequate diet. WIC provides food packages, nutritional counseling and health care referrals. By the end of June, the WIC pro gram served about 330,000 people in Texas, 30,000 less than in Jan uary, Stabeno said. With the ability to borrow from next year’s budget, 15,000 people can be reinstated, she said. But the program still will not be able to serve nutritionally “at-risk” children from 2- to 4-years-old and women during the six-month period after pregnancy. In addition, WIC administrators will cut costs this summer by substi tuting milk for cheese in food pack ages. Stabeno, who testified before a congressional task force in Washing ton last month on the problem, said she is confident Congress will com pensate for money borrowed against this year. “They recognize the problems that happened in the W r IC program this year and they are interested in restoring services to those people that are caught in this situation,” she said. Texas is one of a few states that adds state money to the federal pro gram. The U.S. Department of Agri culture contributes $150 million per ear and the state spends $5.5 mil- ion annually, Stabeno said. Man claims cocaine use drove him to hijack Cuba-bound jet Fi AUSTIN (AP) — A man admitted in federal court Tuesday that he held a flight attendant hostage and tried to hijack an America West jet to Cuba, but blamed his actions on the effects of prolonged cocaine use. “I’m not a violent person,” Jose Manuel Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 39, of New Orleans, said. He is charged with air piracy and assault of a flight attendant in the January 16 incident. If convicted, he could be sentenced to 20 years to life in prison and fined $500,000. The plane, which took off in Houston, landed in Austin after the pilot said he had to re-fuel. Gonza lez-Gonzalez was apprehended by Austin police. Gonzalez-Gonzalez, who was born in Havana, said there was “no way” he would have tried to hijack the t oe« plane to Cuba if he had not been us ing cocaine. He said that after a period of time in New Orleans in which he did little but use drugs and read and listen to news reports, he began thinking people were out to get him. Among other reasons, Gonzalez- Gonzalez said he had listened to tapes implying that former New Or leans mayor Ernest “Dutch” Morial had been murdered. Morial served as New Orleans’ first black mayor in 1978-86. He died last Christmas Eve after collaps ing from a heart attack that a coro ner said was brought on by asthma, aggravated by extremely cold weather. Gonzalez-Gonzalez said he let New Orleans for Lake Charles, h on Jan. 11. After that, he hitched; ride to Beaumont. From there, h took a cab to Houston, using cocak along the way. At Houston’s Intercontinenti Airport, he said he boarded a fligt bound for Las Vegas. “By that time, I felt the airplars crew was in on it too ... part of ik conspiracy and the plot” to kill him Gonzalez-Gonzalez said. He described fashioning a fats bomb from a toothpaste containci and flashlight, and raised his hand: to demonstrate placing an ear phone-set cord around the neck of flight attendant Stacey Wood.

David Leonard Wood of El Paso has been charged with serial murder in the slayings three years ago. He was indicted last Friday. Wood has been serving a prison term for rape. His state prison cel lmate, James Carl Sweeney, was brought to El Paso June 2 and re turned to the state prison at Hunt sville July 3, the El Paso Times re ported. El Paso police homicide detective Lt. Paul Saucedo would neither con firm nor deny that Sweeney was brought to El Paso. Saucedo was not in when called by the Associated Press Tuesday. Sweeney is serving a 69-year sen tence for a Gregg County burglary and conviction as a habitual crimi nal. Wood’s sister, Debbie Galvan, said Sunday that her brother had been placed in solitary confinement at the Huntsville prison in March or April. When he was sent back to the gen eral prison population, she said, he had a new cellmate: Sweeney. Wood’s sister also told the El Paso Times that El Paso detectives went to the state prison July 9 and seized all of Wood’s legal papers. Among them are papers related to a $20.5 million federal lawsuit Wood filed against El Paso police earlier this year, claiming he was being harassed by detectives investigating the desert bodies case. Wood’s father, Leo Wood, said his son told him the warrant used to search the cell said that with the co operation of his cellmate, police had discovered information “that only the killer would know.” the LSAT,” he said. Changes in the test include: • A 10-minute reduction in time per section to 35 minutes. • An increase in the number of sections from four to five —adding one logical reasoning section. • An overall reduction in the number of questions per section. • A broader range of reading comprehension topics on the new exam. • A new scoring scale of 120 to 180 to replace the former 10 to 48 scale. • A redistribution of easy, me dium and difficult questions within each section to allow the LSAC to make finer distinctions at the upper and lower ends of the score range. Holze said students applying for admission in September 1991 must take the old LSAT no later than Feb ruary 1991. But this change will af fect students planning to apply for admission to law school in Sept< ber 1992 or later. Septem- Students can either take the cur rent version of the LSAT in Octfr ber, December or February 1991,oi they can take the new version in June. Test scores are good for thief years. When law schools compare candi dates with scores on the old scale to candidates with scores on the ne» scale, Holze said, they probably wi use percentile rankings. Scores on each test will not be di rectly comparable, but the admis sions office will be able to see where a score ranks compared to other tesi takers. Holze recommended taking die old LSAT before the new test is in troduced. “There are always kinks in a new test and who wants to be a guinea pig for the LSAT?” Holze asked. LSAC announced the changes- during a meeting of the LSAC Edu cational Conference in June but no formal statement has been made LSAC officials said they were not re ady to comment on the new test. State agency gets examined MSC bookstore companies in the nation (Continued from page 1) HOUSTON (AP) — The Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation is under fire for fail ing to hire minorities and making sure road projects don’t harm the environment. A legislative staff report recom mended the agency hire more mi norities and women for top jobs and meet stricter federal guidelines on projects that affect the environment. The draft report by the state Sun set Commission staff was released to the Houston Chronicle on Monday. The three-member Texas High way Commission will receive a final version of the report this week. bookstore, we will also improve the University as a whole.” Maloney said the faculty at A&M will be surveyed two or three times a semester to see if members want to add any new reference materials. “We want to help A&M realize its full potential,” Maloney said. “We are pleased to have joined the A&M team and hope to continue a pros perous relationship with the Univer sity in years to come.” With the selection of Barnes & Noble, Smith concluded a three- month search to improve Texas A&M’s bookstore facilities. In April, the University sent out requests for proposals to major ipa and to local bookstores. Three responses were received by officials at A&M. No local bookstores responded to the request. Smith said one of the proposals was non-competitive and disregarded al most immmediately. The other two included a propo sal from Follet College Stores Corp. of Chicago and from Barnes & No ble in New York. Smith said he travelled to meet with the top management of both companies to evaluate his choices. He said he also hired an indepen dent agency to produce a report on the lease of the bookstore along with using the report compiled by his own staff under the direction of Don Powell, A&M’s director of business services. “I used the independent report to confirm the University’s findings, he said. “With an issue of such mag nitude, it’s always best to have as much information as possible." Shri Parchure, manager of Lou pots Book Store on University Drive, said the leasing of the MSC: bookstore will not affect his business but he thought it was a good idea anyway. “I think it is good the Universio sold the store to a private firm,” Par chure said. “This is America and the J government shouldn’t compete against private enterprize. “I think this is good for everybod' at A&M.” Managers at Rother’s Bookstore Texas Aggie Bookstore and Univer sity Book Store could not be reached for comment.
