ISA Week wraps up
The Associated Press
WACO — The head of an off
shoot group of the Ku Klux Klan
railed Saturday against the lead
ers of a rival white supremacist
organization, warning them to
“resign or die."
Robert Spence of Boyd, Texas,
who identified himself as imperi
al wizard of the True Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan, led a group of
14 in a protest on the McLennan
County Courthouse steps against
Michael Lowe, grand dragon of
the Waco-based Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan.
Spence said his amalgam of
longtime klansmen, skinheads
and neo-Nazis began an attempt
to oust two leaders of the True
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan —
the only national Klan organiza
tion left in the United States —
Nadeem Chawdhan(left), Kashif Qurefhidying
down) and Kimberly Phillips perform at the Inter
national Students Association's
Friday in Rudder Auditorium.
about six weeks ago after a year
of disagreement.
Spence said Lowe stole from
members of the Knights and did
not pay taxes on goods sold by
the Klan.
The Klansmen were outnum
bered about 2-to-l at the Waco
rally by the curious and those
who wanted to protest the Klan
members.
Four young men gave Nazi-
style salutes in support of the
speaker's anti-Semitic rhetoric,
but were the only ones who out
wardly expressed support.
Waco police Sgt. Malissa Sims
said about 30 police officers and
sheriff's deputies were assigned
to provide security. There were
no arrests, she said.
Lowe said several days ago,
he kicked Spence out of his orga
nization because his rhetoric was
too strong. Lowe also denied any
wrongdoing as far as the pay
ment of sales taxes is concerned.

SAN ANTONIO - The same
political drive that made Henry
Munoz 111 the first Hispanic com
missioner of the Texas Depart
ment of Transportation also led to
his downfall and resignation from
the agency, observers say.
Some point to the 34-year-old's
aggressiveness that often pitted
him against the old-fashioned
hardliners. Others point to his ef
forts to put more women and mi
norities in positions of power in
the agency.
Munoz, however, sees himself
as a victim of a system in need of
change.- .He*blotnes that'resistance
to change for part of his decision
to leave the agency Feb. 25. He
also cited a desire to devote more
time to his wife and business.
"During my 2 1/2 years as
commissioner, I did make errors
in judgment," Munoz said in an
interview with the San Antonio
Express-News.
"\ was trying to do a big job.
They weren't used to an activist
being in this job and it made peo
ple uncomfortable."
His departure coincided with
an investigation into his travel
practices, which some say led
Gov. Ann Richards to order a se
nior aide to fire Munoz. I ler office
has declined comment.
Richards appointed Munoz to
the p.dst in 1991 after his fund
raising helped her get elected
As a commissioner, Muno;
heavily promoted Richards
"New Texas" theme. He paidspe
cial attention to South Texas cities
especially along the border,are
takes credit for directing $250rail
lion to the region for improving
road infrastructure
But Munoz was criticized wkk
ly for his expensive suits, flash;
jewelry and a preference for whal
some considered lavish treatment.
"Mr. Munoz's attitude was
very patrician and high-handed.
. almost like royalty," a formei
high-ranking transportation de
partment employee who wished
to remain anonymous told theft
