El Campo truck driver David Bubela could face a fine of up to $200 if found guilty of the class C misdemeanor, said Tom Vinger, a spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety. Bubela, 21, told officials he did not see a stop sign posted in front of the rural crossing and saw the Or lando, Fla.-bound Sunset Limited too late to get out of the way. The impact derailed the train. Twenty of the train’s 235 passengers and an engineer were injured. Bubela will not be charged in connection with the tanker truck’s missing log book, a violation that ap parently played no role in the acci dent, Vinger said. A recorder taken from the second locomotive shows the train was trav eling at 68 mph, just under the 70- mph authorized speed along the Union Pacific track. Jay Kivowitz, an investigator with the National Tlans- portation Safety Board, said. The federal investigation could result in an upgrade of warning equipment at the crossing, which is marked only by stop signs and X-shaped railroad crossbuck signs. Kivowitz noted that a simi lar collision involving a freight train and a grain truck occurred at the same railroad crossing three weeks earlier. No one was injured in that wreck. “We’ve been told that there may have been other accidents at that location, and we will be searching data bases to determine if that is correct,” Kivowitz said. He said his agency’s investigation will likely take at least six months to complete. The Eagle Lake crossing is on one of the nation’s busiest east-west rail links. Union Pacific officials said an average of 28 trains use the stretch of track each day. Films Continued from Page I J-Camp Continued from Page 1 Elizabeth Pariani, a senior journalism major and former producer for The Battalion Radio, will teach a workshop on producing news radio programs. Pariani said she will discuss writing and editing sto ries in the style used for radio broadcasting. Then the camp participants will read and record an audio ver sion of their stories at The Battalion Radio’s sound booth. The recording will be transferred to 90.9 KAMU-FM where it will be recorded to an audio tape for the J-Camp participants to take home. Pariani said she is looking forward to working with the high-school students because students who par ticipate in this type of program are interested in learn ing. Jordan Davis, a freshman English and journalism major, will teach workshop on producing news for TV. He said his job as lab proctor, in which he helps teach A&M students to use the same equipment for their broadcast journalism labs, has prepared him for teaching the workshop. “I think these students will probably be less de manding than college students and complain less,” he said. He said due to time constraints, the students will not produce a full-scale production but will get an in troduction to broadcast media and learn the basics of using TV production equipment. Davis said the students will use network news-qual ity cameras and a digital editing software program called “Microsperous,” which he said is gaining pop ularity. George said the “centerpiece” of the students’ experi ence at J-Camp will be their production of a 4-page pub lication, which the students will design and produce pic tures and stories for. He said the students will go to Huntsville where they will watch the production of their final product as it is printed, at the printing presses of The Huntsville Item. “We want to introduce these students to the pro fession [of journalism] because we believe in the pro fession,” George said.
