Hick-
man will
speak
about the
progression
of his busi-
ness expe-
rience and will give his thoughts on
Holt Hickman

should prepare for future employ-
ment.
The Fort Worth Business Hall
of Fame honors a successful busi-

standing achievement and service.
Past Executive of the Year recipi-
ents include Fort Worth mayors Kay
Granger and Bob Bolen; Tandy pio-
neers James West, Charles Tandy
and John Roach; Justin Industries

utive of the Year by a board of
directors including two appointed
Wesleyan representatives, one
appointed representative of the Fort
Worth Chamber, past honorees Kay
Granger and James DuBose, former
Wesleyan president Jake B. Schruin
and Mac McLain, dean of Wes-
leyan's school of business.
McLain said, "A business man
or woman is selected each year in
recognition of (his or herj contribu-
tion to the Fort Worth business com-
munity."
McLain said the candidates are
also good community citizens and
all-around good people.
The purposes of the event are
to promote business as a challeng-
ing profession, to inform young
people about the American system
of free enterprise and how it (unc-
tions, to focus community-wide
interest on the business profession
as the vibrant lifebiood of our
dynamic and expanding area and to
provide scholarships that will
enable college students to prepare
for business careers.
Sponsors of the event include
Wesleyan. the Fort Worth Chamber
of Commerce and the Fort Worth
Business Press.
Hickman is credited with build-
ing Fort Worth Battery and Auto-
motive into the world's largest
retailer of automotive air condition-
ing. He founded Lone Star Manu-
facturing Company and built it into
the largest company of after-market
air conditioning systems in the
nation.
He founded Specific Cruise
Systems, the largest manufacturer
of after-market cruise controls in
the United States. He also founded
Novatel-Carcom and built the com-
pany to the highest in sales volume
of cellular telephones in the coun-
try.
Hickman is the largest share-
holder of Stockyard Station and
Billy Bob's Texas, and he was
selected as a member of the Texas
Trail of Fame in 1999 for his lead-
ership and devotion to the Port
Worth Stockyards.
According to the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, Hickman also
entered a joint venture to begin sell-
ing Russian-made AtoGaz vehicles
in South and Central America. The
line will include six car and truck
models.
McLain said, "One thing that is
very important is [the Business Hall
of Fame) gives (Fort Worth] the
opportunity to recognize a very
deserving citizen."

Escaped suspect
captured near
campus by police
Donna Hanky
CAMPUS LIFE EDITOR
While attempting to serve an escape warrant on
Wednesday, Oct.4, Fort Worth Police Department's Pugitive
Unit spotted a suspect near the Wesleyan campus.
According to neighborhood police officer Don Fuller,
the unit had information that the suspect's brother lived on
Avenue A. The officers were on the way to the brother's
house when they spotted the suspect, whose name was
unavailable, talking to the driver of a red vehicle.
Fuller said that when officers tried to approach the sus-
pect, he lied on foot, making his way through backyards and
alleys. Several officers and a police helicopter tracked the
man, until he was ultimately apprehended near Bishop
Street and Avenue D. He was then arrested and transported
to Tarrant County jail.
"It is much easier for a helicopter to follow the progress
of someone on foot," said Fuller.
"The pilot would have also been prepared to follow the
red car, in the event the driver had circled and picked up the
suspect."
That did not happen in this situation.
According to Fuller, the driver was apparently just
someone who was talking to the suspect and was not
involved in the case.
"An escape warrant means the suspect escaped from an
officer after he or she has been arrested, but before he or she
has been booked into jail. It can mean that the suspect was

Alumni Association will refurbish Dillow House
Shelly Wright
EDITOR IN CHIEF
1 he Alumni Association will refurbish Dillow House, and
within three months they should know the cost to repair the
building.
Wesleyan alumna Jannett Moss inspected the house Sat-
urday to see what needs to be repaired.
Moss said, in her opinion, there are foundation problems
and possibly wood rot. She said Dillow House needs new
screens, windows and paint. Moss said the brick mortar needs
to be checked and the wood floors need to be inspected for ter-
mites.
She said she would also like the house to have new car-
pet and new furniture.
Dillow House was built in 1912, and in 1979 Audrey Dil-
low donated it to Wesleyan as a memorial to her parents.
Director of alumni relations Tricia Pitts said, "We are
interested in investigating what the cost fto repair] will be.
[Dillow House] is in great shape for that age of a building."

Dillow House, a Fort Worth landmark built in
1912, will be remodeled by Wesleyan's Alumni
Association.
The University applied for a $9,000 grant to have an
architect survey the building, and the final report should be
back in January.
Dillow House was dedicated as a City of Fort Worth
landmark in 1990, and the house is eligible to be recognized
as a landmark with the Texas Historical Committee and the
National Register of Historic Places.
Last year more than 60 events were scheduled in the
Dillow House by campus organizations and community
groups.
Pitts said, "We want to ultimately have central heat
and air so that we can use it year-round. Some of the months
it's not really comfortable."
Moss said the alumni board is considering ways to
fund the reparations. She said one possibility is to have donors
and organizations each adopt a room and fund reparations in
that room. She said the alumni board could then place a
plaque in each room to honor the sponsors.
