P®BK>’ Barnes, who headed a
committee of assistant princi-
pals. which prepared a Gang
Policy introduced to the BISD
Board of Trustees Monday, said
the area the committee most
wanted spelled out is the defini-
tion.
’ At this point, gangs are not
prevalent in our schools," Barnes
said. "We may have some
wannabes, and some transfers
who were gang members in the
schools from which they came
Barae6 added that gang ac-
tivity is not necessarily overt,
and may not be caught out in the
open on campuses. "We wanted
to address the gang activity that
come6 from an increasingly so-
phisticated group of people,"
The policy, which will be
voted on at a later board mee;-
ing, define6agangas"...anygroup
of two or more individuals whose
purposes may include the plan-
ning, incitement, or commission
of illegal acts. In addition, for
purposes of this policy, a gang is
a prohibited fraternity, sorority
or secret society as define#*
Education Code 4 .SO and * 21 "
The policy alsoacpresab prv>
hibits wear.ng possessing us
ing. distributing, display*^ nr
selling any clothing jewelry,
emblems, badges, symbols signs

evidence of membership in a
gang, provided, however shat the
principal shall notify students of

Trustee Ann Rose ques-
tioned prohibiting certain ap-
parel in light of the recent prob-
lems toother school district had
when it prohibited a particular
style of shoe merely because it
was the preferred footwear of
skinheads
Barnes said there is a clause
in the dress code that exempts
any current fashion following a
review by DEIC. «*■
Students who violate the
policy are subject to the full range
of school disciplinary measures,
as well as applicable criminal and
civil penalties

THEY'RE NOT DEAD, THEY’RE DORMANT: The dead looking
things Jeremy Moore [1], Terri Joslin, Johnny West and Ike Vera are
planting are only sleeping. But when these crape myrtles wake up,
they’ll be among 150 friends. All of them will be planted around

Sarah Ritzjnann was initialed in
the Theta Iota Chapter of Alpha Chi
Omega at Bay lor University in Waco,
Texas on Feb. 11, 1995 after a 5-
week pledge period. During the 5
weeks, 53 pledges, a full quota class,
planned a pledge dance, wrote pledge
class songs, attended a retreat, at-
tended weekly meetings and mixers
and completed 22 various require-
ments to become an initiated mem-
The Theta Iota chapter was se-
lected by Alpha Chi Omega's Na-
tional Council as the best Alpha Chi
Omega chapter in the nation for 1994.
The chapter will celebrate its 10th
anniversary with a formal dance for
current members and all alums on
April 8.
The new initiates were presented
by their fathers to membership on
Feb. 18.

“We only have so much
money to spend so you’re kind
of limited,” Richardson said. “If
we had the money we could take
it to Joshua but we don’t have
the money.”
Burleson City Manager Kay
Godbey said the city expects to
get the attention of home-
builders in the FM 731 area
when the new high school is con-
structed.
Sewer line not
part of bond
A sewer line to the new
Johnson County subcourt-
house and the proposed site
of the new high school were
not part of the sewer project
approved by voters in a bond
election.
Community Develop-
ment Director James Caswell
told council that sewer service
could be provided to the
county and school with the in-
stallation of an additional lino
along the east side of FM 731.
The line would run approxi-
mately 1,460 feet up FM 731
from the intersection with
Hwy. 174.
The fee for the added de-
sign, which the city would
foot, would be $1,750. That
includes inspection, contract
administration, and testing.
The construction cost, ex-
pected to be between $35,000
and $50,000, would be split by
the county and school district
Neither the school nor county
has agreed to that as yet.
The council approved
transferring $1,750 from the
sewer line replacement pro-
ject fond ($874,200 was au-
thorized) from the 1993 bond
program to cover the increase
in the design cost.
The project is scheduled
for bids next month.
Pearson 6aid if the city
doesn’t push it, the Hwy. 174
development will never happen.
“We have struggled with try-
ing to get services down Hwy.
174 for several years.” the mayor
pro tern said. “We’ve got to keep
pushing or it’s never going to
happen.”
“I think if we can spend a
few extra dollars and keep the
project moving south, we’ll serve
the people better than we have
in the past,” Pearson said. “We
can fund a little bit of the supply
line or collection line out of each
year’s annual budget if we have
to.”
Council asked Caswell to go
back and find out how much it
would cost to have the engineer-
ing contractors of Halff Associ-
ates design the line to extend
down Hwy. 174 to FM 731.

Flair Trophy A Awards was founded in the late 1960's under (he name "Trophiesby Flair". It was one of only
a few such shops in the Metropiex at the lime. There have been many spin-offs from the original as the award

from its 20* year location on Hillery St. to 426 S.W. Wilshire. in the Elk Plaza Shopping Center, formerly
