“This is a high-traffic area,

where you want to do it if you want
to kill someone,” said Jessica
Ohrum, 20, of East Berlin.
. Professors encouraged their
students to call their parents as the
local media began broadcasting
about the event. Many professors
canceled classes, students said.
Malovrh later said the impact
of the day’s events was hitting
him slowly.
“The emotions start to creep
in ... one thing that does come
up is the face of the one girl,
who was shot when I turned her
over,” he said.

Robbins had a history of mental
problems, once spending time in a
hospital. They said she had been
married and divorced in the past

Money matters to new Tech president
Jew York and to
tlma mater.
LUBBOCK (AP) — Money was on the mind of
as Tech University President Donald R. Haragan
Tuesday, his first full day on the job without the
d“interim” preceding his title.
"Our No. 1 priority has to be the capital campaign
getting it off to a good start,” said Haragan, whose
rected appointment as 12th president of the
000-student university came Monday.
Chancellor John T. Montford also tapped Dr. David

Id haunts, thoug! Haragan stressed that university officials, particular-
is amazed byiMontford, are concerned with stimulating the
impus. pool’s endowment fund. For Texas Tech to continue
compete, he said, the school roughly needs to
adruple its current $125 million fund by the turn of
|e century.
Endowment money would pay for new academic
airs and professorships, but Haragan said his fo-

very highest level,” he said. “We haven’t done as
piodajobfor the group right below that.”
I Sentiment for a plump endowment appears uni
versally favorable on the Lubbock campus.
"Obviously, the faculty is hopeful and cautiously
'timistic," said Faculty Senate President John Howe
said, adding that he and other professors supported
hiring Haragan from within after regents hired an out
sider as chancellor.
Haragan came to Tech in 1969 as an assistant
professor of geosciences. He had held a number of
posts, including executive vice president and
provost of Texas Tech since 1988. He was named in
terim president after his predecessor, Robert W.
Lawless, became president of the University of Tulsa
in February.
The Texas Tech board of regents created the chan
cellorship in April in a rearrangement of the school’s
hierarchy. Haragan and Smith will handle the day-to-
day operations of their schools and report to Mont
ford, a former state senator who was hired last month.
“Overall, we’ve got a good team,” said Haragan,
who added that he isn’t interested in “going out and
drawing turf” boundaries between himself and
Montford.
Student Association President Geoff Wayne de
scribed Haragan’s interim tenure as being more
open to student concerns than Lawless’ reign, and
Wayne said he expects that will continue.
“I think it’s a great step, and I think it’s what
most of the faculty and staff wanted,” Wayne said.
“It brings something to the office we haven’t had
in awhile.”

1995. The University gave 46 per
cent of A&M minority students
money from scholarships and 87
percent received financial aid.
Since the University can no
longer use race as a factor in ad
missions, the $4 million can no
longer be awarded to top minor
ity students.
Ramirez said the University
cannot compete with out-of-
state schools that offer more
scholarship money than A&M.
“A lot of top minority students
will be going out of state where
it’s more attractive to go,”
Ramirez said. “I know I would.”
Laura Huerta, a junior Span
ish major, said although the
Hopwood case would not affect
her financially, it would affect
her emotionally.
“Not as many minorities at all
will want to come here,” Huerta
said. “That projects a more con
servative image of A&M. It will
defer the expansion of minori
ties here.”

registration.
“If we cut it off, it will be to those
who did not preregister,” he said.
Plans and construction are
now under way to alleviate some
of the parking troubles on cam
pus, he said.
The 1,500 spaces in the Reed
Arena parking lot will be available
to students on non-event days,
probably beginning Summer 1997.
A West Campus garage, now
being designed for construction
in Parking Area 61, commonly
called “fish lot,” will be built if
contractors’ bids fall within the
allotted budget, he said.
The only option for expansion
on main campus is the Evans Li
brary garage, now under con
struction. However, all garage
parking will be for visitors paying
hourly fees.
“The more parking we build, the
more is used,” he said. “We need to
encourage students to ride the bus.”
