Rural Texas nightclub refuses to admit Blacks NEW YOR] icar President ion, but they s raids from W MANSFIELD (AP) — A rural nightclub that refuses to serve black patrons because “it would cause trouble” will be investigated by the FBI for possible civil rights viola tions, a federal prosecutor says. “I ain’t gonna have no trouble,” says “Mama” Hendrick, owner of the Western Kountry Klub in Ellis County about 15 miles southeast of Fort Worth. Hendrick, 68, of Venus, said the nightclub she runs in a converted roller skating rink is a private club, although she ran out of membership cards “a long time ago.” There are no black members, she says, because “I don’t really have room for them.” She refuses service to blacks be cause “it would cause trouble, really.)’ Lisa Pollard, a young African- American woman from Grand Prai rie, said Hendrick turned her away from the club Sept. 1 when she tried to attend a birthday party with three white friends. Pollard said Hendrick told her she could not come in because she was black. ‘Tve never been denied anywhere because of my color,” said Pollard, 29, who works in Fort Worth. “I thought it was a joke at first. This is like something that would have hap pened to my grandmother maybe, hut not in 1990. It was very hurtf When she again asked to be mitted, Hendrick grew more amant, Pollard said. “She was po: ing a finger in my face, telling i ‘no.’ I thought it was a joke at firs:' 10n ' “In gener; One of Pollard’s friends,LizMt leai ’ because diola, said, “I felt like I was in am ames Mern Oil for i mg.

In a televis nakers to sj Uaska and ii cum Associa Gang violence Shootings prompt concern at school SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Parents, community activists and some law officers say the shooting of three stu dents at Sam Houston High School proves this city has a gang problem that is getting out of control. “We’ve got a gang problem and...nobody wants to admit it,” said Lt. William Maldonado of the San Antonio School District police force. “It’s spilling over into the streets. It’s spilling over into our schools.” Three teen-agers were wounded Tuesday by a .380-caliber semiauto matic pistol when gunfire broke out at the east side high school, a place students and parents say is overrun with gangs and drugs. Police arrested three other stu dents, including a varsity football player, and charged them with ag gravated assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities said the vio lence stemmed from gang feuding. East side community activist T.C. Calvert said he and other residents have warned city leaders about the gangs. “The violence has got to stop,” he said. Parents of Sam Houston students expressed similar feelings as they gathered at the school after the shootings. “I want my son out of here —what is this world coming to?” one woman shouted. Todd Hollingsworth, whose nephew is a Sam Houston student, said: “You don’t send your kids to school for this. The best thing they can do is close the school down until they find a solution to it.” And Rachel Clark said her son was afraid to go to the Sam Houston football game Friday night because he heard there was going to be gang violence. “He said that they (the gangs) were going to finish it at the game,” she said. Charles Shannon, executive direc tor of the Alamo YMCA on the east side, said police should have taken action last week when three weapons were found in a locker at the school. “You can’t be but disappointed when you see this type of activity in the community,” Shannon said. “The Police Department needs to work with the community more to help it get away from the gang prob lem.” San Antonio police, through a special task force, have been docu menting gang activity throughout the city. More than 45 gangs have been identified by name. “It is not out of control, yet,” said Maldonado, the lieutenant with the school district police force. “But it will be soon if we don’t do something about it.” The Northside School District re cently hired Charles Rodriguez, the city’s former police chief, to help ed ucators and parents identify youth gangs or gang behavior.
