Club rosters show few minorities DALLAS (AP) — Although Dallas social dubs boast many minorities as members, few appear on golf- oriented country club rosters. Of the 30 Dallafr^rea country clubs contacted by the Dallas Morn ing News, 12 do not have any Afri can-American members. Officials at one country club claimed minorities don’t petition for membership. However, no single reason for the exclusion was re ported. Several clubs refused to discuss their recruiting policies. But others said race is not a factor when consid ering a potential member. In several large cities, there are ordinances barring private clubs from discriminating against poten tial members. Similar legislation has been proposed to Texas lawmakers, but none has passed. In Dallas, where there is no such ordinance, there appears to be no push for such a law, the newspaper reported in its Tuesday editions. It was only a week ago that the Oak Cliff Country Club, located in Candidates speak on taxes DALLAS (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candi date Ann Richards on Tuesday accused Republican op ponent Clayton Williams of flip-flopping on the need fora state income tax, saying voters are fed up with in sincere politicians. Across Dallas, Williams picked up the endorsement of a Teamsters Union local and said it shows that his campaign philosophy “reflects the views and values of the working people of Texas.” Williams has been calling on Richards to say whether she would veto a state income tax, after pledging to do so himself. Responding, Richards said, “No one in Texas is for an income tax. I, for one, do not think it is necessary ... I don’t like income taxes. I think they’re inequitable. I think they hit the middle-class the hardest. So no, we’re not going to have an income tax in Texas.” She also criticized Williams, saying he previously had said an income tax might be needed. “It’s real hard with Clayton Williams because he takes one position one month and then whatever’s politically expedient the next month he takes another position,” she said. Richards was interviewed at KERA-TV in Dallas. The interview, and a similar session with Williams, were to be broadcast Tuesday night. “I think that the voting public is really tired of poli ticians who come out and who say I am flat out going to do this ... read my lips, and then does a total reversal,” Richards said. She compared Williams to Republican Gov. Bill Clements, who promised no new taxes while cam paigning in 1986 but then signed a record $5.7 billion tax increase in 1987 after a long battle with Democratic legislative leaders. “I don’t like the position of anyone who continues to draw the line in dirt,” Richards said. With the state facing a $3 billion budget shortfall for 1992-93, Richards said she would pay for new state services through a combination of things, including a new state lottery. A lottery game would generate $1.5 billion, she said, to be combined with what she said would be an additio nal $3 billion from economic growth, and $800 million from closing unspecific “loopholes” in the corporate franchise tax. Act Now The Crime Prevention Unit of the Texas A&M University Police Department recommends certain measures to ensure safety during Halloween. Countless accidents happen each Halloween because having fun takes precedence over com mon sense safety. The following will help make Halloween and the morning after a fun time: • Stay together — Don’t get separated. • Wear costumes that don’t re strict movement and vision. • Wear light colors and reflec tor tape on your clothes. • Watch your consumption of alcohol. • Don’t carry money or credit cards. • Don’t wear good jewelry. • Be aware of strangers and their gifts or treats. • Wear your seatbelts and obey traffic laws. Don’t have so much fun that you ignore your safety and the safety of others. Be responsible. Being extra careful tonight can help you enjoy a happy future. Editor’s note: These tips are dedicated to the writer’s friend Ann who was killed on Halloween night in 1984. Halloween night was a fun time. A small group got together for a couple of hours after work. Little to no alcohol was con sumed. Most dressed in costumes trying to win the prize for the evening. Just after midnight, the crowd bid each other goodnight and took separate routes home to Bryan. One did not make it. Not be cause of alcohol, but because of carelessness on the part of an other driver. Ann was 24. the predominantly African-Ameri can Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, ad mitted its first African-American member on provisional status. Pettis Norman, a former Dallas Cowboys tight end, was named last week as the first African-American member in the club’s 36-year his tory. Oak Cliff officials said they had not admitted an African-American member before because an African- American candidate had never ap plied. Frank C.

Fairfield Industries announced Tuesday a joint venture with the Au tonomous Soviet^SdCialist Republic of Yakut to market the region to Western companies for joint explo ration ventures. On Monday, Oyo Geospace Corp. of Houston announced it was enter ing a joint venture to build seismic instruments at a Soviet plant. “The Soviets have always been anxious to conclude deals and get started with exploration and exploi tation programs and have been very receptive,” said Tom Russell, presi dent of Houston’s Professional Geo physics. “That hasn’t "changed,” Russell said. “What has changed is the inter est level by the Western oil compa nies. We’ve ^een a pickup since the Iraqi invasion (of Kuwait.)” Professional Geophysics and the Soviet Central Geophysical Expedi tion of the Ministry of Oil and Gas Industry on Wednesday will provide seismic data on nearly 25,000 miles of territory, with proven reserves of nearly 2 billion barrels. “Houston is the capital of the world for the oil and gas industry,” Alexander Zoteev, deputy chairman of Yakut’s Council of Ministers, said. “In Houston, you have good tech nology, and you have good tech nique in oil and gas production.” Oyo Geospace has agreed to buy a 40 percent interest in a $10 million joint venture that will build geo phones, seismic instruments used to find and develop oil and gas depos its.
