FBI goes
to the
movies
Most-wanted fugitives
appear on-screen in a
plan to ask the public's
help in their capture
NEW YORK (AP) — Coming
soon to a theater near you: The
FBI’s most wanted.
Real-life criminals are going
on screen with the bad boys
from “Wyatt Earp” and “Speed”
under an FBI plan to seek pub
lic help in capturing dangerous
fugitives.
The first felon began appear
ing on local movie screens Fri
day, said Joe Valiquette of the
FBI’s New York City office.
The picture will have a two-
week run, with a number ap
pearing on screen for people to
call with information. If the
process is successful, it will be
expanded nationwide, Vali
quette said.
“It’s the same as the ratio
nale back in 1950 for the cre
ation of the 10 most wanted
list,” Valiquette said. ‘We want
to generate publicity, get assis
tance from the public.”
The FBI is working on the
plan with the Kansas City, Mo.-
based National Cinema Net
work. With access to more than
4,000 movie screens across the
country.
“They came to us, and they
wanted to test it,” said Brad Ep
stein, NCN vice president of
marketing. “We don’t know how
it will work out, but we were
open to it as a test.”
Bagwell
Continued from Page 2
“This guy would be a super-
star if he played in Chicago, Los
Angeles or New York,” Astros left
fielder Luis Gonzalez said.
“When I look at the All-Star vot
ing, it’s obvious to me that some
of the voters don’t even look at
the stats.”
Bagwell has All-Star stats but
has never made the team. He’s
twice been named MVP of the As
tros and was the 1991 Rookie of
the Year.
“I can’t worry about things
that are out of my control,” Bag-
well said. “Ken Griffey and Barry
Bonds would not get the votes if
they played here either.”
Bagwell, who played at the
University of Hartford, is just the
fourth Astro to hit three homers
in a game. Glenn Davis did it
twice. Lee May and Jimmy Wynn
each did it once.
Bagwell may be taking the
modest approach, but his team
mates aren’t.
Kevin Bass says the All-Star
selection method should be re
evaluated.
“They’re going to have to do
something about that,” Bass said.
“Managers and players should do
the voting. Houston has had
great players in the past who did
not get recognized.”

Britain’s answer to Barney
BBC's "Mr. Blobby" takes over Britain, moves on to U.S.
LONDON (AP) — Forget “Middlemarch,”
“Civilization” and all those other highbrow
BBC programs.
Americans are getting a taste of the stuff
Britons really watch: Mr. Blobby, a fat, clumsy,
pink creature resembling a giant, polka-dotted
jellyfish.
For the British Broad
casting Corp., he’s been
very, very profitable.
Now he carries the cor
poration’s hopes of beat
ing Barney the purple
dinosaur in the rich U.S.
children’s market.
“We’re talking tens of
billions of dollars here,”
miles to pay homage to a lump of pink rubber,"
says Noel Edmonds, host of “Noel’s House Party,”
Mr. Blobby’s Saturday prime time showcase.
Based on Mr. Blobby’s appearance last week
at the International Licensing and Merchandis
ing Conference and Exhibition Show in New
York, Gury thinks Amer-
Michael Gury, vice president for product market
ing at BBC Lionheart Television, said Friday.
Or as Mr. Blobby would say: “Blobby! Blobby!
Blobby!”
A long way from Noel Coward, but it works.
Lyrics crafted from Mr. Blobby’s one-word vocab
ulary produced a No. 1 record — confirmed this
week as Britain’s best-selling single of 1993.
Not to mention the Blobby video, Blobby T-
shirts, Blobby bubble bath, Blobby wallpaper,
Blobby pink lemonade and a Blobby theme park.
There are even Blobby pirates, out to cheat the
BBC of Blobby earnings with Blobby fakes.
When Mr. Blobby visited the old seaside re
sort of Brighton recently, the BBC said he drew
19,000 fans.
“Only the British would travel hundreds of

to a lump of pink rubber."

ble — and not just kids.
“The licensing offers

in a telephone interview from the United States.
Lionheart, the BBC’s marketing arm in the
United States, is still working on a television
showcase for Mr. Blobby.
Gury said he had been skeptical about Blobby
in the U.S. market, but has been encouraged by
the response from test groups.
Some parents, he said, expressed a preference
for Blobby over Barney.
“We didn’t position ourselves as the anti-Bar
ney. That just happened.”
For a character that does little more than fall
down, or knock someone else down, Blobby is do
ing fine in the U.S. media: He has had write-ups
in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington
Post and an appearance on CNN’s “Larry King
Live.”
and listen to them in the car,” he said. “I’ll
make mental notes. This helps me get bet
ter.”
South started at Texas A&M in 1985 in
broadcasting. In 1990, he began doing sales.
South said he has had many exciting mo
ments announcing A&M sporting events dur
ing that time.
South said the 1990 Holiday Bowl was
probably the most memorable event he has
called for A&M. He said a run-in with some
Brigham Young boosters before the game
made the victory very sweet.
‘We were on the Battleship Independence
at a formal dinner. I was sitting with some
Brigham Young boosters, and they were going
on and on about how they could not believe
they were playing Texas A&M, and that they
deserved a higher-ranked opponent. They did
not realize I was from A&M until they asked
all the Aggies to stand up. They were a little
surprised,” he said.
South said the 1986 Southwest Conference
Championship basketball tournament was
also another great moment to call, since A&M
did much better than they were supposed to.
“We go to the NCAA tournament after win
ning the tournament as the number eight
seed. Shelby Metcalf, the coach at the time,
took one suit to Dallas. That was as exciting
as Aggie basketball gets,” he said.
South has had many memorable moments
at Reunion Arena in Dallas. In 1993, he be
came infamous for being ejected from a first-
round game against Houston for giving a ref
eree a “choke” signal. The story made sports
pages throughout the nation. South said the
whole incident should never have happened.
“Referees can kick anyone out who is inter
fering with the flow of the game,” he said.
“The game was not even going on when that
happened.”
South said that although Southwest Con
ference basketball was pretty bad for a while,
it has drastically improved.
“Dale Kelly came in last year to work with
the officials,” he said. “I cannot say enough
good things about officials now.”
Saying good things about other people is
something South does often. For someone
who has accomplished so much, South seems
to always give the credit to others.
He talks about his family’s importance in
his life, great broadcasters he has had a
chance to work with, companies that gave him
a chance to learn about sales and how much
he likes everyone around him in the A&M
athletic department.
“Everyone here has a great work ethic. I
do not dislike anyone. I would not say that if I
did not honestly believe it,” he said.
South said A&M’s athletic department is
special.
“Our programs are successful, and we run
in the black,” he said. “Not too many other
athletic departments can say that.”
Being so close to the game, South has many
opinions about college athletics. He said col
lege sports are more exciting than profession
al sports, and that college athletes have more
desire.
“College athletes give you more,” he said.
“The college game offers more for the fans.”
So does Dave South.
Coaches
Continued from Page 2
covered has a program where
they tell their campers about
A&M, including giving them
tours and teaching them yells.
The coaches view the opportu
nity to show off A&M as one of
the best parts of their camps.
Obviously, the coaches might
have in the back of their mind
the thought that some of these
kids could be future recruits.
Who could blame them? How
ever, that is not the impression
I have got. These coaches actu
ally care.
These coaches do not have to
return phone calls. They do not
have to teach their campers
yells. But they do, and that is
definitely commendable.
Granted, they are not in
their respective seasons.
Their stress level is not as
high as it could be. Still, the
way they treat others and
show-off the school they repre
sent speaks a lot for the type
of persons they are.
It is also nice to hear South
talk about how much he re
spects he has for everyone he
works with and how hard
everyone works. In our musi
cal-position, administrator-of-
the- week university, it is nice
to see some continuity in at
least one department.
At Fish Camp, freshmen are
taught about Aggie Spirit. They
are taught that it is more of a
feeling than anything else, and
sayings such as “from the in
side looking out, you can’t ex
plain it, and from the outside
looking in, you can’t under
stand it” abound.
Texas A&M’s high-profile,
extremely-busy coaches seem
to have a pretty good grasp on
the concept. They explain Ag
gie spirit by the example they
set and by the way they treat
others.
Dave South might have
summed it up at the end of our
interview:
“If you need anything else,
let me know,” he said.
