ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Fliers with a de scription of a suspected serial rapist and recom mended precautions are being distributed around apartments in southeast Arlington, where the at tacker has targeted, police said. Apartment managers are teaming up with the Arlington Police Department to track down a man suspected of raping six women in the area during the past year. The department has formed a task force of in vestigators and patrol officers to concentrate on finding the suspect, police spokesman Dee Ander son said Thesday. Police say the attacks have occurred at 90-day intervals since June 1993. Four assaults occurred in unlocked homes and apartments, while another was in the laundry room of an apartment complex, Anderson said. That pattern was broken shortly after 7 a.m. Saturday, when a sleeping woman was attacked in her apartment bedroom, just one month after the previous attack. Anderson said the victim’s face was covered with a blanket. Police suspect her attacker en tered through an unlocked sliding glass door, An derson said. The woman, like the five previous victims, was treated and released from an Arlington hospital. Police Chief David Kunkle ordered the creation of the task force in response to public concern spawned by the attacks, Anderson said. “We began receiving more phone calls and in formation than we could handle without the help of some specialists,” Anderson said. “We had repre sentatives from just about every division in the department.” No suspect had been identified nor any arrests made as of Tuesday, he said. Media reports of a serial rapist on the loose have not prompted unusual fear among the ten ants of the Center Place Apartments, a 100-unit complex in southeast Arlington, manager Pam Blanco said. “We (residents) tend to look at it as if we haven’t had it happen here. I think it will stay that way, unless something happens nearby,” Ms. Blanco said. Arlington police have computer linkups with the managers of many city apartment complexes that allow an ongoing exchange of information about criminal activity, Anderson said. Class-action suit filed against Norplant maker DALLAS (AP) — An attor ney who filed a class-action lawsuit against the maker of Norplant capsules said women who had the contra ceptive implants may have opted not to had they known the devices might not be easi ly removed. “They believed that Nor plant could be removed in a painless, simple, 15-minute procedure,” said attorney Steve Stodghill. “In fact, the process can be excruciatingly painful, complicated, and take up to several hours, creating physical and emotional scars for these women." Stodghill is co-counsel for Phyllis Johnson, a former Dallas County resident now living in Oklahoma. Ms. John son is seeking damages from American Home Products Corp. on behalf of herself and other women who had the capsules inserted in Texas. Wednes B Eve $2 i org.

Chet Edwards also sent a letter to the Board re questing the expansion of the A&M System into central Texas. “I cannot think of a finer edu cational institution to provide a quality education for central Texans and for soldiers and their families at Fort Hood,” Ed wards said. “Offering courses through a branch campus would be good for Texas A&M, good for central Texas and Fort Hood, and good for higher education in Texas.” Mary Nan West, chairman of the Board of Regents, said the Board will be looking into the proposal further. “Naturally, A&M always wants to be on the forefront and a leader in higher education,” West said. “There are a great many questions that need to be answered before any action is taken.” West said she would like A&M to look into the financing requirements of the project. She also said A&M must decide what the people of Texas want in regard to a university in that area. Whether or not Fort Hood will be closed by Congress should also be a prime consider ation, West said. “I’m a supporter of what th taxpayers of Texas want and higher education,” she said. Black invited Board mem hers to visit the Killeen-Templ community to see what it hast offer. “If you want to recharge you patriotic battery, just cornel) Fort Hood and the Killeen area, he said. Black said the need for high er education is great in centra Texas. “We’ve got to have educatioi that is accessible and affordabl to those kids in uniforms."

Hodge said the tickets enable everyone to have guests at the commencement exercises. “Only so many people are allowed in the building,” he said. “This system enables everyone to have some relatives and friends at their graduation.” “If it were first come, first serve, some graduates would have family there and some wouldn’t,” Hodge said. Vercher said she thinks the system is fair. “Students are somewhat able to choose when they graduate, but basically it is the luck of the draw,” she said. “This is the best way they have of controlling the situation. “They also have accommodations such as closed circuit television so friends and rela tives can watch the ceremony from outside G. Rollie White,” Vercher said. Hodge said the special events center that was recently approved will alleviate some problems with graduation. “The new special events center will hold about 10,500 people,” he said. “Therefore, there will not be a need for tickets, or if tickets are used as a regulation device, they won’t be limited in number.” Gardner said there has been talk of com bining graduation ceremonies because of the extra space that will be available in the cen ter. However, he said the ceremonies will probably remain divided as they have been in the past. “Even though the space is available, it is hard to imagine having that many peoplf graduating and anyone wanting to sil through such a long ceremony,” he i “We will probably keep doing it the same way and use the extra space as an added convenience.” hjl: nTr TOC A, TOCA, TOCA, TOC A, TOCA, TOCA PARTY!!!!? ^ ^ ^ mm The Battalion MARK EVANS, Editor in chief NATIONAL i-rgn LAMPOOIfV* Jplp ANIMAL UOUtE WILLIAM HARRISON, Managing editor ANAS BEN-MUSA, Night News editor SUSAN OWEN, Night News editor MICHELE BRINKMANN, City editor 1AY ROBBINS, Opinion editor STEWART MILNE, Photo editor MARK SMITH, Sports editor WILLIAM HARRISON, Agg/e/ile editor CROWN CLEANERS ^ 613 East Uni versify Drive In Randall’s Center 846-4064 "N Jl^nUgpt Staff Members City desk— James Bernsen, Stacey Fehlis, Amanda Fowle, Jan Higginbotham, Ellie Hudson, Sara Israwi, Christine Johnson, Craig Lewis, Angela St. John Parker and Tracy Smith News desk— Kari Rose, Sterling Hayman and Stacy Stanton Photographers— J.D.
