Dallas police
plan end to
UT-OU party
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Some alumni are
lamenting a plan that could end
the tradition of a street party pre
ceding the Texas-Oklahoma foot
ball game, but agree that violence
associated with the event must
stop.
"You hate to see it come down
to this," said Carol Barrett, an as
sociate director of the Ex-Students
Association at The University of
Texas at Austin.
"But people's safety is more
important," she said Tuesday.
Dallas police on Monday intro
duced their plan before the City
Council public safety committee
in response to the death of a Car
rollton man and injuries of 11 oth
er people at last year's Texas-OU
rally.
Catherine Bishop, director of
media relations at OU in Norman,
referred questions to the presi
dents of the university and of the
students' association.
They did not immediately re
turn telephone calls Tuesday to
The Associated Press.
But a member of a Dallas ad
hoc committee on Texas-OU
weekend said the downtown tra
dition could be refocused into
other activities.
"The first step is two-pronged.
One is to get control over Com
merce Street. Dallas is too big of a
city to have a free-for-all on Com
merce Street that we've had for
several decades," said Betheny
Reid, president of the West End
Association.

Bill outlaws
damaging
burial sites
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — It would be a crime
to intentionally disturb an un
marked burial site, or buy and sell
human remains or burial objects,
under a bill that won preliminary
House approval Tuesday.
The measure "will stop the
looting and the desecration of un
marked burial sites throughout
our state," said Rep. Bob Hunter,
R-Abilene, its sponsor. If ap
proved in another House vote, the
bill goes to the Senate for consid
eration.
Hunter said that there has been
a problem with looters damaging
and desecrating unmarked Ameri
can Indian graves, as well as those
of slaves and Confederate sol
diers.
"They take these pots and the
human remains and sell them on
the international market at some
times thousands of dollars," he
said. "This has, of course, been a
very great affront to our three Na
tive American tribal groups in
Texas," citing the Kickapoo, Tigua
and Alabama-Coushatta.
The bill would make it a
felony, punishable by up to a 10
years in prison and a $10,000 fine,
to knowingly disturb an un
marked burial site; take any hu
man remains or burial objects
from the site; or to buy, sell or
barter those remains or objects.
The bill also would make it a
misdemeanor, punishable by up
to a year in a jail and a $2,000 fine,
to knowingly display skeletal re
mains for profit.
In addition, someone who dis
covered an unmarked grave
would be required to report it to
authorities, and the state archaeol
ogist would assess the site and no
tify appropriate Indian or ethnic
group leaders.
