Celebrations honor holiday DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Prot estant and Roman Catholic lead ers joined for an ecumenical service in St. Patrick's Cathedral while 6,000 Dubliners paraded in the streets to mark the saint's day Sunday. About a thousand people, in cluding President Mary Robin son, packed St. Patrick's for the service, marking the first time the governing bodies of the city's Protestant and Roman Catholic cathedrals had joined together. The day also marked the start of the 800th anniversary cele bration for the cathedral, built near a well where St. Patrick, who was chiefly responsible for converting the Irish to Chris tianity, supposedly baptized converts in the fifth centuiy. "Leaders of church and state, men and women from all parts of our island home, have gath- ered to give thanks to Goa for 800 years of worship and witness in St. Patrick's Cathedral, one of the most famous buildings in Dublin and the object of affec tion and respect or many tradi tions," said tne Most Rev. Robin Eames, archbishop of Armagh and primate of the Anglican Church of Ireland. St. Patrick's, which belongs to the Church of Ireland, was the site of Ireland's first university, founded in 1320. Satirist Jona than Swift was the cathedral's dean from 1713 to 1745. The present dean, the Rev. Victor Griffin, said the cathedral was symbolic of Ireland's differ ent religious and political tradi tions. Prime Minister Charles Haug- hey reviewed the annual St, Pat- rick's Day parade, which at tracted about 350,000 spectators. The parade had more than 6,000 participants, 100 floats and 29 overseas oands and groups. There were also parades in Cork, Limerick and Galway and many smaller towns. Battalion sets sights with new Continued from layout p*gei lightly. "This is not something we decided to do overnight," Robertson said. "Our news editors worked for weeks, laying out new styles, pasting up old issues to compare new versions with the old, and finding out which style was easier to read." Sartin, a senior political science major from Sulphur Springs, said The Battalion's biggest drawback is that the editors change every semester and they each have their own style ideas. "We're using this change to work up a guide book for future use," Sartin said. "Editors after this semester now will have a § ood model for the newspaper's esign." Study says Texas heads list in alleged police brutality DALLAS (AP) — More Texas law enforcement officers have been investigated and prosecuted for alleged brutality than officers in any other state, a new study says. A copyrighted story in The Dallas Morning News on Sunday said that Texas, the nation's third most populous state, had 2,015 investiga tions of alleged police brutality between 1984 and 1989. Second on the list was California with 1,294 in vestigations, followed by Louisiana with 1,050. Vermont was last, recording just three investiga tions during the five-year span. The newspaper cited figures from records ob tained from the U.S. Justice Department under the Freedom of Information Act. Records also showed that 50 cases, involving about 125 officers accused of civil rights viola tions, were prosecuted in the state between 1980 and 1989. Texas cases accounted for 19.2 percent of the total civil rights cases filed against police nationwide. The next highest was Louisiana, with 21 civil rights cases, or 8 percent. Records obtained by the newspaper didn't in clude a state-by-state breakdown of convictions. Professor's death mourned Continued from page 1 "We lost a good friend and a good professor," Miller said. "It will be tough to till his shoes." The fishermen ended a seven-week search for the professor, which took more than 1,000'man- hours. The officers involved in the search dragged several miles of the river, used spe cially trained dogs and searched by boat, plane. helicopter and on foot. The effort was hampered by the temperature, heavy rains, the speed of the river and the murky water. The memorial will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Grace Bible Church in College Station. Sharpe was cremated last week.
