Marines told ‘shoot to kill'
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)—U.S. Marines were ordered into sand-bagged
bunkers Tuesday and told to shoot to kill anyone approaching their camp
after three trucks that officials feared might be filled with explosives drove
nearby.
The Pentagon said the death toll from Sunday’s terrorist bombing of a U.S
Marines command post rose to 214 as six more bodies were recovered anil
one man died of injuries in a hospital in West Germany.
The suicide strike was carried out by a man driving a truck packed with a
ton of explosives. It was the bloodiest attack against the U.S. military since
Vietnam.
'Humpy'receives sentence
HOUSTON (AP)—Former San Jacinto County Sheriff James C. “Humpy”
Parker, convicted with two former deputies of torturing jail inmates to elicit
confessions from them, was given the maximum sentence Tuesday ol 10
years in prison and a $12,000 fine by a federal judge.
U.S. District James DcAnda handed down the sentence, telling Parker that
he had allowed law enforcement in San Jacinto County to deteriorate to the
point “it was in the hands of a bunch of thugs.”
“You just can’t sanction this,” said the judge. He called Parker's conduct
“flagrant and unforgivable.”
School board bars students
SAN ANTONIO (AP)—School board members have expelled three high
school students apprehended near the house where a former teacher’s aide
was slain.
The school board of the Southside Independent School District voted
unanimously without discussion Monday to bar the students, ranging in age
from 14 to 17, for the rest of the school year.
“Their parents did not choose to have a hearing, so the action was the
shortest thing on the agenda,” superintendent Ronald Geyer said.
A 14-year-old Southside freshman is being held in connection with the
Oct. 7 death of Clara Lynn Popham.
Course reviews stress
Class to teach relaxation
By DONALD KYLE
Daily Reporter
NT faculty and staff members and their families can
learn how to manage stress in a course sponsored by
the faculty/staff fitness program and beginning Oct. 31.
Nancy Patton, coordinator of the program, said the
course is designed to teach people about stress, how to
recognize it and how to relieve it and its effects.
PARTICIPANTS IN the program will be taught how
to recognize the symptoms of stress. These include ir-
ritability, loss of temper, loss of appetite, nausea and
inability to make decisions, Patton said.
“The course will teach stress reduction techniques,
including deep breathing exercises and intensive relax-
ation. Participants will learn these techniques and how
to apply them to relieve themselves of stress and also
to feel better in general,” she said.
The course, which will meet twice a week for four
weeks at 5:45 pm. in the Physical Education Building,
will be taught by Beth Lyons, Denton graduate student.
Lyons said, "people in the course will learn how to
handle stress in their lives before it is affects them,”
she said
The first class will teach deep breathing exercises
and their value in stress reduction, Lyons said.
"WE WILL INTRODUCE the class to simple deep
breathing in the first session. The second class will
teach more extensive deep breathing and we will begin
progressive muscle relaxation,’ she said.
The eight class sessions will build on each other so
that by the end of the course participants will have a
good understanding of stress and the part it plays in
their lives, Lyons said.
Participants in the course will take a stress vulnera-
bility test to determine how much stress they arc likely
to feel in their everyday lives, she said. The test con-
sists of 20 statements ranging from aspects of one’s
diet to mental condition.

“We will have a number of tests available so that
people in the course can get a real comprehensive pic-
ture of the role stress plays in their lives." Lyons said
The students will also have the chance to make a
tape of stress reduction and relaxation exercise. This
tape can be used at home to practice the techniques
taught in the course, she said.
OTHER TOPICS include relaxing of major and mi-
nor muscle groups, visual imagery used in release of
mental tension, controlling of breathing and heartbeat
and a daily review of potentially stressful siluations and
planning to deal with them, Lyons said
Stress has become a national concern, Patton said
She cited a June 6 “Time” magazine article that de-
scribes the place stress has taken in society
The article states that stress is more pervasive in to-
day’s society than ever before. It attributes this to our
society and the increased risks and uncertainties that
have developed within it. The article mentions threat
of nuclear war, job insecurity and the near assassina-
tion of President Ronald Reagan as examples of major
nationwide stress factors.
It also mentions that stress can affect people through
coronary heart disease, cancer, cirrhosis of the liver,
accidental injuries and suicide.
“STRESS HAS BOTH short-term effects such as
gastrointestinal problems, heartburn and nausea, and
chronic effects such as migraine headaches, hyperten-
sion and ulcers,” Lyons said.
“Stress can also have adverse effects on interpersonal
relations. People who experience stress arc anxious,
short tempered and paranoid and this can hurt relation-
ships,” she said.
Patton said by teaching people about stress she hopes
that they will come to recognize it and its effects he
fore it takes its loll on them.
Registration for the course is limited to 15. More-
information is available at the physical education ol-
ficc, 565-4075.

thefts
Operation Identification is a free campus bur-
glary prevention program in which property is
marked with an identifying number as a means
of discouraging theft, Chris Schnaithman ol the
NT Police said.
The Operation ID Program has two pans A
NT police officer will mark a student’s valuables
with the student’s drivers license number so that
his property can easily be traced and idenitifed.
The student is then asked to display stickers which
tell would-be burglars that the property has been
marked.
“Marked property is difficult for a burglar to
dispose of or resell. It can usually be traced to
the rightful owner with relative ease,” Schnaithman
said.
He said some items most commonly marked
are television sets, stereo equipment and bicycles
"Operation ID is not going to prevent burgla
ries.“ Schnaithman said. “A student has to be
aware enough to recognize whether or not he looks
like an easy target.
“Most thefts occur in the Physical Education
Building. Students playing raequetball usually leave
their gym bags outside the door and anyone can
just run down the hallway and have a field day,
he said. _
