(AP) — Today is Monday, Nov. 4,
the 309th day of 1996. There are
57 days left in the year.
On this date:
In 1880, the first cash register
was patented by James and John
Ritty of Dayton, Ohio.
In 1884, Democrat Grover Cleve
land was elected to his first term as
president, defeating Republican
James G. Blaine.
In 1922, the entrance to King
Tutankhamen’s tomb was discov
ered in Egypt.
In 1924, Nellie T. Ross of
Wyoming was elected the nation’s
first female governor to serve out
the remaining term of her late hus
band, William B. Ross.
In 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower
was elected president, defeating
Democrat Adlai Stevenson.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan won the
White House as he defeated Presi
dent Carter by a strong margin.
In 1995, Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by
a right-wing Israeli minutes after at
tending a festive peace rally. Rabin,
73, was a war hero who had be
come one of the Jewish state’s fore
most architects of peace.
Five years ago: Ronald Reagan
opened his presidential library in
Simi Valley, Calif., with a dedication
ceremony attended by President
Bush and former Presidents Jimmy
Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard
Nixon — the first-ever gathering of
five U.S. chief executives.
Prairie View vows
to win Sunrayce
PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (AP) —
Prairie View A&M engineering stu
dents don’t want to hear “nice try.”
In last year’s national solar-pow
ered car race, Prairie View A&M was
outspent, out-designed and outrun.
The 48 students building the Sun-
panther II vow 1997 will be different.
“No one is out of reach for us,”
said project leader Edwin Lloyd, a
23-year-old senior from Dallas.
“We can do it.”
This time around, Prairie View
A&M promises to win.
“We’re not going just to finish in
the top three,” said DeLeon Ben
nett, 22, of Houston.
But winning next summer’s Indi-
anapolis-to-Colorado Springs “sun-
car" race will be a tall order.
In the most recent of the bienni
al Sunrayce contest, Prairie View
A&M finished 36th in a field of 38.
The university’s Sunpanther I was
the only Texas entrant in the race
won by the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology.
The Prairie View team was
slapped with an eight-hour time
penalty because Sunpanther I ar
rived in Indianapolis with batteries
that didn’t conform to rules.
The goal of the 10-day, 1,200-
mile race is to foster teamwork
and raise interest in advanced
technology. The car with the lowest
cumulative time wins.
In June, Sunpanther II faces en
tries from leading schools such as
MIT, Purdue University and Califor
nia Polytechnic Institute at
Pomona, not to mention Texas
A&M, Prairie View A&M’s big broth
er to the north. About 70 cars al
ready are vying for 40 race slots.
In August 1995, state officia;
promised to reduce that rateinre
sponse to local outrage over ft
county getting a disproportionati
share of paroled sex offenders.
But there are only 25 fewer se
offenders in the area since theruri

Tarrant County leads

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — De
spite a state promise to curtail the
number of paroled sex offenders
sent to Tarrant County, the area
still leads Texas in the percentage
of rapists and molesters imported
from other counties.
The county is home to 253
paroled sex offenders, slightly
more than half of whom were
shipped in from other counties
across the state.
the ratio of non-resident to reside'
offenders has actually gone up sin
September 1995, when 163 offer
ers were from Tarrant County
115 from elsewhere.
Although “there has been an

law in Central Texas for 36 years.
During these years, Joe has
established an extraordinary record
of commitment and leadership...
A Lifetime of Service to the community

program, educating kids about the legal system and what

25 cases before the 10th Court of Appeals in Waco.

done as the jury came back with the death sentence. It’s that
type of commitment and courage that has earned Joe
