Car stolen on campus
By, Stephen English
The Rambler
A Texas Wesleyan student's car
was stolen from the parking lot behind
the Art complex on Monday, Jan. 30,
between 9 a.m. and noon.
Kathy Walker, a senior majoring
in music-voice emphasis and minor-
ing in English, said that several text-
books she had locked in her trunk were
stolen along with her 1988 Cadillac.
Walker estimates the contents of
her trunk to be worth about $300.
"My purse was also in the trunk,
with my house keys in it," Walker said.
"1 was thankful that when 1 got home
my house hadn't been broken into."
Despite the theft, Walker still has
faith in the campus security depart-
ment.
"I have no complaints against
them," she said. "1 know they work
very hard." She added that she would
favor a proposal to erect a wall around
the Wesleyan campus.
"Auto theft is a thing that happens
"I was thankful that
when I got home my
house hadn't been
broken into."
--Kathy Walker
in any part of town, at any time of day,"
said Charles McCorkle, director of the
Department of Security and Safety at
Wesleyan. "History shows that cam-
pus security prevents car theft most of
the time, but it still occasionally hap-
pens." ■
Walker is thb president of Sigma
Alpha lota, an all-female music so-
rority at Wesleyan. Among the items
in her trunk were the by-laws of Sigma
Alpha lota.
Walker's car was recovered Tues-
day, Jan. 31 at 3 a.m. by police in
Waco. The alleged thieves, a juve-
nile from Waco and an adult had dam-
aged the car's steering column, torn
out the back seat, stolen the hubcaps
and stolen alj of the items from the
trunk, said police.
Waco police said they suspected
the alleged thieves were on a drug run.
When police attempted to pull
over the car, the alleged thieves
stopped and attempted to flee. The
youth, who was driving, left the car in
gear and the vehicle ran over the adult,
causing him no serious injury, accord-
ing to Waco police.
elude law school. The Dunlaps have
a 17-month-old daughter.
"We buy lottery tickets very sel-
dom. Robert gave my father-in-law
one dollar to buy a Quick Pik," Juanita
said.
"We didn't even know we had
won. My father-in-law called 10 check
the numbers because he thought the
numbers sounded like the ones.Rob-
ert had gotten."
"Robert told me, 'They're all
there.' I said, "You're lying.'" Juanita
said.
Robert checked at several stores
to verify the numbers. Juanita said,
"Ho returned home at 4 a.m. and said,
'This is for real.' We didn't sleep for
two days."
"My first reaction was 'Well, 1
guess I won't be getting anymore fi-
nancial aid,' But you also have the
impulse to go shopping and buy the
mall. I would like to go on a cruise"
Robert and his father left
Everinait on Sunday afternoon to go
to Austin, "1 couldn't go because 1 have
akiller Calculus class and 1 can't af-
ford to miss even one class," Juanita
said.
"We want to keep everything as
low key as possible, because we want
our daughter to have a normal life. We
want to install a security system, re-
decorate the house and pay off our
credit cards. We don't plan to move
because our house belonged to my
husband's grandparents," Juanita said.
"It's a nice feeling. You can af-
ford to splurge when the urge hits. It
also gives security and peace of mind.
You no longer have any budget wor-
ries, because your possibilities are
unlimited."
The Dunlaps spoke to an attorney
and financial advisor before signing
the forms required by the state. They
set up a trust to direct how the money
would be disbursed. Juanita said that
this has to be done before the releases
are signed, otherwise, it cannot be
changed.
"Robert is very sensible," Juanita
said.
"The news spread like wildfire.
By Tuesday, everyone knew. The City
Council of Everman called and was
very interested in a possible move of
Robert's business to Everman. They
were not as interested before we had
won the lottery. But other than that,
we haven't really had many solicitious
calls."

Coaches search for stadium
Youths study culture
By Christy Awad
The Rambler
As the nation focuses on black
histon, culture and literature during
the month of l ebruary. it's business as
usual for Caroline Burner, coordina-
tor of the Cultural Awareness Institute.
The institute was developed by Mayor
K,i\ (iranger and a city council group
commissioned to study multicultural
issues in the city of Fort Worth.
"Wesleyan volunteered to host
this institution which would belike a
clearing house for any community or-
ganization wanting to comc in and
undergo training, said Burner "We
would huv facilitators, to train them on
cultural! diversity"
Tarrant County Youth Collator a
lion iTCYO. the tirvl uruionly group
tfamcvl thtiN far. responded positively
to their (mining at Wesleyan last sum-
mer. "We did a survey after the initial
one, and they were quite pleased," said
B tuner.
The group, which consisted of 50
people from a number of different
agencies under the umbrella ofTCYC,
stayed at Wesleyan dorms for the two
days of training "They range any .
Where from the Boys and Girls Club
to the Gatney Center—a lot of differ-
ent youth groups." said Bruner,
Psychologist Edwin Nichols fa-
cilitated the group during the summer
training, The main focus of the train
ing is on inter cultural communication
and fostering understanding of ditier
*
Southwestern Bell funds the in-
stitute According to Bruner. South-
western Bell often dknes things fit* the
community "It\ interested in diver
sits and cultural relations, slie said
"The institute is strictly a commu-
nity effort. It came from the commu-
nity. and we're meeting their needs,"
said Bruner. "They [the community]
decided we need to be more culturally
aware and accepting of one another in
Fort Worth."
Bruner is formulating some in-
house ideas which might take effect
on the Wesleyan campus hy next
month. "We're ready to develop some
things at Texas Wesleyan," Bruner
said,
Bruner's plans,include setting up
at least four training sessions a year,
specifically geared to adult and teen
special interest groups This would
also include a Cultural fair enabling
the community to preview the pro-

The Texas Weslcyan Athletic De-
partment continues to investigate pos-
sible sites for a new baseball stadium.
Brad Bass, head coach of the
Wesleyan baseball team, said he be-
lieves that Wesleyan will get a new sta-
dium. He said, "...there has been talk
about a new stadium tor the 10 years
I've been here."
Coach Bass said he wouldn't
mind mov ing from the Ram's current
home field of Sycamore Park.
"It has its negatives," he said.
"There is no security there."
Texas Weslcyan has hired KVG
Gideon Toal. an architectural firm, to
create a coherent whole from the dif-
ferent elements of the Wesleyan cam-
pus. according to coaches Rosic
St all mart and Bobby Cornell Part of
the firm's investigation concerns pos-
sible locations for a baseball stadium
The cost of preparing one possible
site close to campus for competition
would be roughly $250,000, said
coaches Bass and Corned
Cornett, who is also an assistant
director of development for athletic
fund raising, said he believes funds for
a new stadium will come from univer-
sity funds, athletic banquet proceeds,
public sponsorships and private dona-
tions.
As to rumors that the Coors Brew-
ing Company might provide financial
assistance for a stadium, Coach Bass
doesn't sec cause for controversy.
"There has been talk
about a new stadium
for the 10 years I've
been here."
-Coach Brad Bass
"Coors has been involved with
our baseball program in the past," he
said. He added that the company has
provided financial assistance to the
baseball program in the past.
Coach Cornell said he personally
favors lutGravc Field, the downtown
Fort Worth park that was home to the '
Fort Worth Cats minor-league baseball
team in the 1950s, as a site for a new
stadium. He estimates that LaGrave
would need $10,000 to $15,000 of
work to make it baseball-ready.
An off-campus stadium wouldn't
inconvenience students "because
Wesleyan has a largely commuter stu-
dent body," Cornett said.
According to Cornell, the off-
campus stadium could be hired out for
high school baseball tournaments and
other events, which would make
money for the university. Renovating
LaGrave would be easier and less ex-
pensive than buying real estate in the
Weslcyan area and preparing the land
for baseball competition, he said.
Cornell said he feels that build-
ing a stadium at LaGrave would be an
appropriate revival of downtown Fort
Worth's baseball tradition.
LaGrave Field is owned by Texas
Refineries, an international petroleum
company which is owned by a trustee
of Texas Weslcyan.
