Figures show rise in crime reports WASHINGTON (AP) - Violent crime re ports to police increased 5 percent last year while reported property crimes rose 2 percent, government figures showed Sunday, and ex perts blamed drugs and the nation's economic troubles. The total rose 3 percent, continuing a trend of increases dating back to 1985, according to preliminary figures from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports. The 5 percent increase in violent crime — murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault — is less than half the 10.6 percent hike from 1989 to 1990, but it is in line with increas es since the mid-1980s. The FBI's figures did not include population estimates for 1991 and thus, the rate of crime per capita. However, calculations by The Associated Press indicate there were about 5,880 crimes reported per 100,000 residents last year. That is the second-highest rate in the past three decades, surpassed only by 1980, when there were 5,899.9 crimes per 100,000 U.S. resi dents. The violent crime rate was about 750 per 100,000 residents, the highest in the past three decades, according to the AP's calculations, and it continues an upward trend that fol lowed a dip in the early 1980s. Meanwhile, the rate of property crime — burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft — was about 5,090 per 100,000 people, the AP found. Like the overall crime rate, that's the highest since 1960 with the exception of 1980, when the property crime rate was 5,319.1. The AP's calculations were based on the FBI's broad percentage changes in reported crime as well as the Census Bureau's estimate of the 1991 U.S. population. The preliminary FBI figures for last year showed the number of murders rose 7 percent, forcible rape and aggravated assault each went up 3 percent and robbery increased 8 percent. Perot criticizes Bush for election policies Continued from Page 1 Listen to recent Perot on Bush: — "When you've got an incumbent saying, T will do anything it takes to win' . . . then when you know what he did in the last cam paign, look at what they're doing now, it's kind of all-time new low," he said in an interview with The Associated Press last week. — On Bush's 1990 abandonment of his no-new-taxes pledge and support of a congressional budget agreement: "It was a study in White House arrogance." — On domestic policies: "I'm talking about two-day education summits . . . these little video events set up to say, T am the educa tion president. I am the environmental president. I am the drug president.' Then you do a stunt and go on to another issue." — On Bush's style: "We won't be onto this show business White House stuff." — On federal red ink: "Do you ever hear the incumbent presi dent talking about the debt? Do you hear him talking about this year's deficit?" — On the recession: "The president honestly didn't know." — On early support for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein: "(He) per sonally intervened to get him money, billions from you the taxpay ers here, here and here over a 10-year period." And after the war? "Saddam's still there. Nuclear's still there. Bacteriological is still there. All we did was Kuwait." In a separate interview last week with David Frost, Perot de clared: "Who created Saddam Hussein with billions of dollars, and whose personal fingerprints are all over it for 10 years? The presi dent of the United States." Perot also blames the Republican Party for trying to undermine him, accusing it of leaking derogatory material to reporters and maneuvering to keep him off the ballot in New York. "It's so amateurish. It's pathetic," Perot said. Republican leaders have denied Perot's allegations. Any Democratic sneak attacks? "Not yet," he told the AP. And to Frost, he said, "I have seen nothing come from the Democratic party that I would consider negative campaigning or trying to redefine the candidate. It all comes from one source. The Republican party." Ask him about Clinton, the expected Democratic nominee and governor of Arkansas, Perot replies charitably. He tells how he got quick results from Clinton in going to bat for a Vietnam War veter an: "A sergeant from Arkansas lost his leg in Vietnam. After going through rehabilitation and getting all fixed up, he was having problems getting into the University of Arkansas. I called the gov ernor and asked him if he would help this young man. About three nanoseconds later, the young man was in the University of Arkansas and doing very well." "He cared very much about that person," Perot said. "I consid ered that a very positive quality." Residents from six countries agree to host A&M students Continued from Page 1 host a student come from families who speak several different lan guages and have interesting pro fessions. International students from six different countries have respond ed to the program and opened their homes to American students. The countries include Kenya, In dia, Indonesia, Columbia, Brazil and Hong Kong. Adair said Student Activities is presenting the Take An Aggie Home program on a trial basis to see if they receive a response and they have. "Students are really excited about this," Adair said. The American students who visit a foreign country must cover their own expenses, including transportation, while the interna tional students are asked to pro vide the living arrangements. Parents of the Year, students receive awards at ceremony Continued from Page 1 my major." The ceremony concluded with the presentation of the Buck Weirus Spirit Awards. Students receiving this award have put forth a great deal of time and ef fort to ensure the success of a cam pus program or activity. Award recipients are chosen based on their activities, accom plishments, leadership positions and other involvement in Student Activities programs. The selection committee chooses five freshmen, 10 sopho mores, 15 juniors, 20 seniors and two graduate students. "It's very exciting to receive such an award, and it's a great way to end the year," said Debo rah Royal, a graduate student re cipient. 4^S0 YOU THROUGH! YOU HAD4^ MISSED IT!!
