DALLAS — It was ten min
utes past midnight and groups of
teen-agers were still cruising the
West End.
“Do you know about the cur
few?” a lone patrol officer shout
ed to a truck carrying three boys
in the bed. “You can get a $500
ticket starting today.”
The wide-eyed teen-agers pro
claimed ignorance and promised
to drive home. But there were a
lot more youths. And only one of
ficer patrolling the popular area
on the first night of Dallas’ new
ordinance.
“They are all over the place,”
said Sgt. EJ. Brown, motioning to
the youths who lined up on
Lamar Avenue, some wearing T-
shirts bearing gang names.
Sunday, at 12:01 a.m., marked
the beginning of Dallas’s contro
versial new curfew, which re
quires youth under 17 to be at
home or with chaperones after
midnight Friday and Saturday
night and after 11 p.m. on week
nights.
Violators can be given an oral
warning, a ride home or a $500
fine. They also can be taken into
custody. But police have said they
are not going to aggressively en
force the ordinance.
“Officers are not ^oing to look
for curfew violators, ’ said Dallas
police spokesman Ed Spencer. “If
they encounter kids who may be
underage, and if the officers are
not on an assignment of greater
importance, they’ll do some in
vestigation about whether or not
its a curfew violation.”
Also in the West End Saturday
night was Joe Cook, regional di
rector for the American Civil Lib
erties Union. He was giving out
pamphlets on how teen-agers can
defend themselves from the ordi
nance, which he has battled since
its passage in 1991.
FORT WORTH — Honesty didn’t do a whole lot of
good for a driver anxious to convince officers that the
silver objects on his car’s back floorboard were not
pipe bombs.
No sir, he said.
But, in an apparent attempt to ease the concerns
of the officers who had backed away, the frazzled
suspect reportedly blurted out, “Oh man, it’s kilos,
it’s crack cocaine. ’
The motorist was asked to repeat his comment
and, when he did, officers arrested him and read him
his rights, said Sgt. Oscar Ramirez.
“That’s when he got the idea that maybe he better
shut up,” Ramirez said Saturday.
According to police reports, the man was stopped
Friday night in east Fort Worth by street gang officers
who saw he was not wearing a seat belt and that his
car was missing its front license plate.
Officers spotted silver cylinders on the car’s back
floorboard, protruding from a beer carton, and
thought the objects might be explosives, Ramirez
said. Fort Worth street gangs have used pipe bombs
recently.
The objects turned out to be three packages of co
caine, wrapped in duct tape, Ramirez said.
The suddenly quiet suspect was booked into the
Tarrant County Jail on suspicion of possession of a
controlled substance, with formal charges not yet
filed. His bail was set at $ 1 5,000.
Travel

Parker also said the policy was
C art of an appropriations package
y the State Legislature.
“The Legislature attached a
rider on the appropriations bill
that requires universities to re
duce all travel by 10 percent in
the 1994 and 1995 fiscal years,”
he said. “So whatever we save, we
end up giving back.”
Richards said the policy was re
evaluated because of a campaign by
the Texas Faculty Association (TFA)
on behalf of faculty members across
the state, and travel will be reviewed
on a case-by-case basis.
“This should enable faculty at
our public institutions of higher
education to advance their re
search, learning and commitment
to global education,” she said.
Dr. Charles Zucker, executive
director of TFA, said the policy’s
re-evaluation was good for all
universities.
“The old policy was hassle for
large universities because of all the
funding that had to be switched
around from non-appropriating
sources,” he said. “But the new
policy lets the Governor’s office re
view all of the information and
make a decision based on that.”
Zucker said for small universi
ties like The University of Texas-
Pan American in South Texas, the
policy really means more.
"UT-Pan Am just instituted a
new international business
school,” he said. “Without fund
ing, faculty couldn’t travel to the

Mounce said many Hispanic voters weren’t aware
that Fisher — a wealthy Dallas investor who spent
part of his childhood in Mexico City — had joined
the unsuccessful presidential campaign of Dallas bil
lionaire Ross Perot.
Perot’s strident opposition to the North Ameri
can Free Trade Agreement alienated many Mexican-
Americans.
Hinojosa said the well-financed Fisher campaign was
able to win new South Texas voters — those less influ
enced by the old-style, boss-run political machines,

Parker said A&M also is choos
ing to use the old policy to pre
vent misuse.
“We can better control the
spending if it’s under our noses,”
he said. “Besides, there are other
avenues for faculty that need to
travel, and our research is not be
ing restricted.”
Zucker, who has been TFA’s ex
ecutive director for 6 years, said
most faculty members travel at
some point, and this policy will
help them do so.
“Out of the 35 public universi
ties, there are 22,000 faculty
members,” he said.
“To do the research, or give
presentations in other countries
or just attend an international
conference, state funds are defi
nitely needed.”

Both Hinojosa and Mounce predicted that Fisher
will carry the heavily Democratic Rio Grande Valley
against Hutchison in the November general election.
“The only guess is the percentages and the
turnout,” Mounce said.
But Hinojosa and Mounce added that Mexican-
American voters will not automatically favor a Hispanic
or Spanish-speaking candidate. Mounce pointed out an
old Mexican saying: “Never trust a gringo who speaks
Spanish or a Mexican who smokes cigars.
For example, Hutchison became the first GOP
statewide candidate to carry Hidalgo County in a
1993 special election against Democrat Bob Krueger,
a Spanish-speaking former ambassador to Mexico.
