Meanwhile, U.S. District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer, who ruled last year that the city’s election system discriminated against minorities, has scheduled a remedy hearing for Wednesday. He has been asked to order new elections for either May or Novem ber. The potential candidates said they were waiting for Buchmeyer’s deci sion before making any formal an nouncements. Mayor Annette Strauss has not yet said whether she will seek re-elec tion. The possible candidates, accord ing to The Dallas Morning News, are: • Steve Bartlett, a North Dallas congressman and former City Coun cil member. • Jerry Bartos, council member. • Bill Blackburn, former council member. • Jim Buerger, council member. • Kathryn Cain, lawyer. • Jack Evans, former Dallas mayor. • Forrest Smith, lawyer. • Marvin Crenshaw, one of the plaintiffs in the successful voting rights lawsuit. Texas A&M students graduating in May must make a formal applica tion for degrees. The deadline for applications is Friday. Degree applicants must report to 105 Heaton Hall and complete de gree application forms. If the $15 diploma fee was in added as an option during Spr: registration, it must be paid i Heaton Hall. Former inmate sues state for damages suffered in prison AUSTIN (AP) — A second for mer Texas prison inmate on Wednesday sued the state for dam ages he claims he suffered when forced to serve as a “dog boy,” or bait for packs of dogs being trained to track and attack prisoners. The Texas Civil Rights Project filed the suit in Travis County Dis trict Court on behalf of Richard Kaelin of Austin, said Jim Harring ton, legal director of the civil rights organization. Harrington said Kaelin, 33, was seeking damages and a judgment that the state unconstitutionally in flicted cruel or unusual punishment on him and deprived him of due process. A similar lawsuit was filed in No vember by Walter Gilchrist, who also said he was forced to participate in the dog-training exercises. Gilchrist is seeking compensation and a court order aimed at halting the practice. Harrington said attorneys are gathering information on that law suit, which should go to trial at the end of this year. In the hunts, the lawsuits say, the inmate would get a head start on a pack of dogs, climb a tree, tease the dogs, then jump among them and fight until prison officials arrived to pull the animals away. Kaelin alleges he was forced to act as quarry some 20 to 25 times over a five-month period in late 1989. Kae lin had a severely injured back, which made it harder for him to pro tect himself from the dogs, Harring ton said. “He has scars, actually, from the bites on his arms,” Harrington said. “Then there’s the psychological trauma.” If he had refused to act as bait for the dogs, he would have lost his posi tion as a trustee, possibly delaying his parole, Harrington said. In addi tion, he wanted to avoid making ene mies of prison officials, he said. “You really have to nurture the good faith of the prison officials, be cause if you don’t there are a lot of ways they can penalize you,” he said. Kaelin, who left the prison system in May, hopes his lawsuit will help protect other inmates, Harrington said. “The thrust of the suit, too, isn’t just for monetary compensation. It’s to create enough pressure for the ac tion finally to stop,” Harrington said. “This is a relic of 19th century Texas, when the prison system used to be penal colonies, sort of the old plantation idea. And it’s a shame and sort of a national embarrassment we have to go through these trials to get them to end it,” he said. Named as defendants in the law suit are the Texas Board of Criminal Justice, acting board chairman Jerry Hodge of Amarillo and Charles Martin, warden of the Eastham prison unit, where Kaelin served his time. Prison spokesman David Nunne- lee said he could not comment on pending litigation and that he did not know if other states use inmates to train attack dogs. Susan Power, administrative assis tant to the chairman of the criminal justice board, said the board also had no immediate comment on the law suit. “I don’t remember the inmate, don’t know the inmate, and I really can’t comment on anything that I don’t know about,” said Warden Martin. Prison officials have said that the system uses 115 inmates at 22 units to help train more than 900 dogs, but that prisoners have been pro vided with more protective gear. Controversy arose over the prac tice last year, after Hodge invited friends to a dog-training exercise us ing inmates as prey, then ordered jackets that read, “The Ultimate Hunt.” Hodge has apologized for the jackets but has defended the practice of using inmates to train the dogs. @ " ... or ivfwt happens when you combine a viofin and a marimba - -freefy interpreted.. .’ performing with Continuum $P<£r&w.s$i®m.
