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.

demand highly trained and edu
cated soldiers.”
U.S. Rep. 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."

up to four extra tickets — providing space is
available.
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.”
