New lines may
end problems
with power
By TROY HALL
Of The Battalion Staff
Power outages around the
Chemistry Building should no
longer be a problem because the
old circuit breaker has been re
placed.
Feeder 15 officially was turned
on by Dr. John Fackler, dean of
the College of Science, at a cere
monial flipping of the switch
Wednesday at the Physical Plant
control room.
Last year, power outages
caused problems for science re
search programs, Fackler says.
“The new lines should signifi
cantly improve the power prob
lems of the past year,’’ he says.
More power was needed for
computers and research equip
ment after the chemistry complex
renovation.
The time lost during power
failures took its biggest toll on re
search.
“There have been tremendous
effects on teaching and research
programs, especially in labs,” says
Michael Hall, chemistry depart
ment head. “The power would go

(the projects) would have to be
started over again.”
Hall says he believes this is a
move in the right direction.
The project took about seven
months to complete.

FORT WORTH (AP) — A teen
age sandwich shop clerk was recov
ering Wednesday from a shotgun
blast fired by a would-be robber who
allegedly tired of waiting for her to
open a safe.
Stephanie McFarland was in good
condition at Harris Methodist Hos
pital Wednesday afternoon, Mandy
Rhodes, hospital spokeswoman,
said.
McFarland was wounded in the
upper torso and left arm, said Gero
Brown, 18, a co-worker at a Schlotz-
ky’s Sandwich Shop.
Beverely L. Harrison, 28, of Fort
Worth, was arrested about one hour
after the incident and arraigned
Wednesday on a charge of at
tempted capital murder, county offi
cials said. Officer Peggy Taylor said
Harrison was being held in Tarrant
County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bond.
By BILLHETHCOCK
Of The Battalion Staff
Lt. David Ellis of the Fort Worth
Police Department said Harrison
was captured as he hid in an alley
about four blocks from the sandwich
shop, clutching a shotgun. Officers
in 13 squad cars cordoned off the
residential area, and a police heli
copter illuminated the alley before
the suspect surrendered, Ellis said.
Brown said he and McFarland
were just closing the shop when a
man jumped them and demanded
the restaurant’s money bag.
The Texas A&M University System Board of Re
gents will consider raising tuition for graduate students
in the College of Business during its regular meeting to
day and Friday.
If raised, tuition costs for resident students will dou
ble to $40 per semester hour, the maximum allowed by
state law.
Out-of-state students will pay $30 more per semester
hour than the minimum rate set by the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board. The tuition hikes will
be effective beginning Fall 1991.
Revenue generated from the proposed tuition in
creases will return to the College of Business to support
graduate programs.
The Board also is expected to take action on bids for
the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center and
the Cain Hall addition.
The cost of the Corps center will be almost $3.1 mil
lion, and the Cain Hall addition will cost about $1 mil
lion to complete.
Also under consideration will be a $353,355 appro
priation for furniture as part of the MSC expansion
project and $157,()()() to re-roof the General Purpose
Building at the Riverside campus.
A preliminary design for the proposed T exas Beef
Industry Center will be presented for the Board’s ap
proval. The center is estimated to cost between $1, ;
million to $1.7 million.
The regents also will vote on whether to authorize
the chancellor to award a contract for renovation oftke
tennis complex.
The renovation date is being pushed because tie
Southwest Conference tennis match is scheduled foi
April 19 at A&M, and University officials want thewoti
to be completed by then. Renovations will cosi
$200,000.
Pending regents’ approval, A&M w ill initiate a grad
uate program leading to a doctor of philosophy degree
in anthropology. T his proposal also must be approved
by the 1 exas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
T he Department of Anthropology piesently offersa
master of arts in anthropology.
The Board will vote on a revision of the System in
vestment policy. This revision has been proposed toal-
low the System to manage local f unds more effectively
Regents also will consider authorization of a capit
campaign for A&M.
Tne proposal calls for a campaign coordinated by
President William Mobley, and volunteer-led with sup
port from the Texas A&M University Development
Foundation. The campaign will focus on increasing the
level of endowment and private funding to support
University programs.
The Board will meet at 1 p.m. today. Discussion and
action will continue Friday, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Brown said he was headed toward
a bus stop when the man jumped out
with a shotgun and told him to stand
still.
“He told me to stop and don’t look
at him, and if I made a move he’d
kill me right there,” Brown said.
Brown said McFarland still was in
side the restaurant when he was
jumped by the man. But a few sec
onds later, she walked out and was
heading toward her car when the
gunman jumped in front of her and
demanded the money bag, he said.
Brown said the gunman told them
he knew the restaurant’s system of
depositing money.
