Storm
Continued from Page 1
in West and North Texas reduced what
already was expected to be a low voter
turnout.
"Historically, voter turnout tends to be
low in bad weather and that's certainly a
concern today as well," Bell said.
Hotz said the storm could spawn thun
derstorms and possible tor patios as, it
moved southeast through Texas.' j
Any moisture was a welcome sight in the
Panhandle, where crops in fields were drier
than normal.
"Most of the wheat farmers are probably
jumping for joy," Hotz said. "We needed it
pretty bad."
A cold front was positioned across the
state on Tuesday. High pressure over the
southeast maintained a flow of low level
moisture into South Texas and up over the
front into North Texas.
Low clouds covered North Texas, along
with patches of fog and drizzle, on Tuesday.
Scattered showers dampened North Central
Texas.
The National Weather Service issued a
winter storm watch for the western parts of
North Texas for late Tuesday night and ear
ly Wednesday. The affected area is general
ly northwest of a line through Abilene, East-
land, Mineral Wells and Bowie.
The weather service said snow flurries
ary possible on Wednesday from the Pan
handle to the Midland-Odessa area and be
yond, with 1 highs in the 30s in the Panhan
dle.
North Texas had grey skies with inter
mittent rain and dropping temperatures on
Tuesday. Western portions of North Texas
are under a winter storm watch through
Wednesday. The weather service said total
snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are pos
sible Wednesday morning in the west and 1
to 3 inches of snow elsewhere.
UT athlete seeks damag
after alleged initiationij
partially paralyzes him
The Associated Press
AUSTIN — Freshman Dusty Dunfieldwe
the University of Texas on a track scholar-
hoping to become a star runner. Now he'shi;
just to be able to walk.
As part of an alleged track team initiation!
Dunfield dove into a shallow campus fount
He broke his neck in the August incidentandl
tors feared he would he paralyzed forever,
Dunfield, 19, is back home in Brenham
regained use of his hands and feet, but he'llne
run again.
"It's pretty tragic," said attorney BillWlii
hurst of Austin.
Whitehurst is trying to obtain a settle®
from the state, UT, four track team members;
at least two fraternities for unspecified dami;
on behalf of Dunfield. No lawsuit has beenfilec
Whitehurst blames the four track team mi
hers for proposing that Dunfield jump intol
fountain. He also accuses them of taking theta
ager to a party, where the fraternities servedal
hoi, which would make both liable for Dunfi
being drunk at the time of the incident.
Hazing, which is illegal, has long been a p:
lem among fraternities at UT. In 1992, attenr
was drawn to initiation among athletic ten
when several male swim team members^;
found smeared with peanut butter and wean
diapers.
According to Whitehurst, Dunfield wast;
new track team members would have to diver
an area lake from a cliff.
As Dunfield and the four track team meml
were walking back from the party where Dunfi
had about a dozen beers, the track team mem! 1
gave him the option of diving into the fountain
stead, the attorney said.
"Everyone urged him to do it," Whitehi
said. "They knew he was intoxicated."
The fraternities that allegedly threw the par!
were Delta Chi and Delta Sigma Phi. Atli
Greek organization also may have been involv
but which one has not been determined, Whi
hurst said.
The presidents of those two fraternities'
they had no comment. There was no immedilf
comment from the four track members allegeij
involved.
School president Robert Berdahl did notiH
diately return a telephone call from The Associ
ed Press Tuesday.
"It's up to the plaintiff's attorney toeitherfi
lawsuit or request a meeting," said/fan Di/sej
spokesman in the attorney general's office.
"We'll be happy to meet with thembutL
does not mean there is any liability on thesla;
part just because we met with them. We're alw
willing to get together and meet with them to
cuss the issues."
Whitehurst said he hopes to reach a settlenif J
but he expects it to be difficult because the case 1
volves multiple issues with several parties.
"I think we have a solid case," said Wb
hurst, who has sued two other fraternities over
leged hazing incidents.
