Web Services was clearly the best one
on that,” he says.
David Vanaiver, vice president of
Fabric Care Service Inc., says the
new situation is not the best for the
local company.
This is the first time A&M split
the laundry services contract in two
— one contract for the coin-oper
ated machines and one for laundry
and dry-cleaning services, Vandiver
says.
Since Fabric Care makes its profit
from the coin-operated machines
and takes a loss on laundry and dry-
cleaning services, it would not be ad
vantageous to split the services, he
says.
Vandiver says he told the Univer
sity Fabric Care would bid on the
two contracts together.
“If we get the coin operated, then
we will bid for the laundry and dry
cleaning, if we don’t get the coin op,
then the bid for the laundry and dry
cleaning is null and void,” Vandiver
says.
Although he wishes A&M would
have acted before the contract ran
out, Vandiver says he is not upset
with the University.
“I have no ill-feelings toward
A&M — we have had a good
relationship over the years and I’ll
continue to work with them to make
the transition as easy as possible,” he
says.
Vandiver says Fabric Care will
continue providing laundry service
to the University — without a con
tract — until another company takes
over.
Many residence halls are without,
or have limited washers and dryers,
Vandiver says, because he has been
forced to pull many machines to
minimize his losses.
He says he knows students are
having trouble with the machines be
cause they are old and of limited
quantity, but he says he and his staff
are working to keep the remaining
machines going until the new com
pany takes over Friday.

Taylor gets life term
for child’s murder
ANGLETON (AP) — A mother
who claimed she slashed her daugh
ter’s throat on the orders of a former
college English teacher has been sen
tenced to life in prison.
Jurors deliberated an hour Satur
day before sentencing Valerie Susan
Taylor, 27, of Rosharon in the death
of her 4-year-old daughter.
Taylor killed Meara on Nov. 8
while the girl lay in her bed. The
child was stabbed 23 times.
“Some crimes are so bad, so evil,
that the person deserves to be pun
ished despite the fact that they nave
never been in trouble before,” pros
ecutor Dale Summa told jurors.
Taylor admitted that she got an
gry at her daughter twice that eve
ning, once for breaking a music box
and once for trying to climb into her
brother’s crib. But she claimed it was
a force in and around her that made
her kill Meara.
She did not harm her 11-month-
old son, Frankie, who witnessed the
killing from his nearby crib.
Taylor had testified that a former
community college English teacher,
who she thought possessed God-like
powers, sent ner messages that led
up to the killing.
She testified she knew she was act
ing on God’s orders because she did
not feel bad when she struck Meara
in the face before the killing and
Frankie didn’t cry as she was stab
bing the girl.
Prosecutors said that while Taylor
was mentally ill, she knew that killing
her daughter was wrong.
But, defense attorney Terry
Holder said, “She thought that it was
right, however twisted that may be.
Valerie Taylor is not an evil person.
She’s a sick person.”
Frankie’s father, Raymond Kirk
land, 29, of Rosharon, said he was
pleased with the sentence.

Stolen Army machine guns traced to youth gang
HOUSTON (AP) — The theft of four Army
machine guns that were part of an arms ship
ment bound for U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf is
linked to youth gang activity, federal agents said.
The weapons were recovered during the ar
rest of three men who were to be arraigned Mon
day on charges alleging theft of government
property and firearms law violations.
FBI special agent Charles B. Kearney Jr. said
the M-60 machine guns were stolen Sept. 7 from
the Port of Houston.
“The weapons were part of a shipment that
was destined for Saudi Arabia,” Kearney said.
“The ship has either arrived or is still in transit.”
Kearney said the crime was related to youth
gang activity on Houston’s southeast side, but de
clined to elaborate.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI in
conjunction with Army investigators. Kearney
said investigators are still trying to determine if
other weapons or military equipment were stolen
with the machine guns.
“We are trying to trace the shipment in order
to determine if we have recovered them all,” he
said.
The investigation started when federal agents
received information that stolen military weap
ons were available for sale.
Kearney said the FBI conducted an “under
cover buy” operation during the investigation.
The arrests were made late Friday and earl
Saturday. David Green, 27, was arrested an
Houston restaurant after he tried to sell one of
the machine guns to an undercover agent, Rear
ney said. He said John Anthony Muniz, 20, ani
Miguel Rojo, 18, were arrested at their homes.
The machine guns were part of a shipmento!
