Battalion/Page 7 August 11, 1982 state / national an Antonio rain rained out saance United Press International SAN ANTONIO — The mfort, Texas, Indian rain ncers, who really aren’t '.—bn real Indians, came to flBvn all gussied up in their in-dancing duds to bring an Id to south Texas’ drought, were rained out. lU About a third of an inch fell Jilthe city Monday afternoon, beginning about two hours beiore the Indians were to Hrform a rain dance outside the Alamo. I “It’s hard to have a rain June's w n<:e when it’s raining,” said oss R an d a ll< station manager of radio station KTSA, which omeof! Ad offered to award a half- ton buffalo to anyone who could make it rain 1 inch in San Antonio over a 48-hour period. “We’re giving our listeners a rain check,” he said. Three groups of Indians had taken up the rain dance challenge, and they were sche duled to try their stuff every 48 hours until the 1-inch goal was reached. “We started talking about rain Friday,” Randall said. “Friday night we got 0.19 of an inch. Saturday we got 0.19. Monday afternoon, when our rain dance was scheduled, it was raining cats and dogs.” San Antonio received just 0.14 inches of rain in all of July, and the brief sprinkles during the weekend and Monday were the first this month. The official rain total for San Antonio Monday was in the vicinity of a third of an inch, so technically the rainfall still fell short, but showers were forecast for the next few days. When KTSA tried a similar stunt in 1978, it rained 3 in ches. The 1,000-pound buffalo, which had been kept in a trail er on the transmitter lot, was sent packing back to the “range,” Randall said, until it can be determined whether the city needs more rain. Texas lobbies Congress for aid to teach aliens United Press International WASHINGTON — Texas officials lobbied Congress Tuesday for legislation that would force the federal gov ernment to pay part of the cost of educating children of illegal aliens. The Supreme Court ruled this spring that a Texas law barring free public education for the children of illegal aliens was unconstitutional. Texas officials said that with out federal aid some districts in their state will be badly hurt. “The states that border on Mexico are particularly vul nerable to aliens sliding across our border to share the opportunities that our coun try affords,” said Texas Attor ney General Mark White, the Democratic nominee for gov ernor. “To stem this flow is the responsibility of the federal government. If our immigra tion laws are not enforced, then the federal government owes a duty to the states to help pay for the consequences — educating the innocent vic tims, the children.” Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby said: “When, in the past, the feder al government admitted the Vietnamese, it assumed re sponsibility for their well- BIAUTY »rovw VND Kl I" r\ 37 COKE SPRITE OR TAB 6 PAK 10 OZ. BTLS.

It did the same for the Cubans and Haitians that were admitted to this country. It must not be doing anything less than that now.” Hobby said 81 percent of immigrants now come from Central and South America, while prior to World War II 75 percent came from Europe. Texas Education Commis sioner Raymon Bynum said that there were about 25,000 children of illegal aliens in Texas and an equal number of offspring from documented Hispanic immig rants. Teaching such aliens is especially expensive because they generally speak much better Spanish than English and therefore school districts must pay extra for bilingual teachers and materials. Texas Rep. Kika de la Gar za has introduced a bill to pro vide $450 per year to districts for each alien child and addi tional aid to those school dis tricts with 500 alien students or if they constitute 5 percent of all pupils. He said something must be done by the federal govern ment because “in light of the serious economic troubles in Mexico.” \ Anti-nuke rallies held nationwide United Press International Protesters nationwide trespas sed on federal land, blockaded nuclear plants and occupied bomb shelters on the final day of a five-day wave of anti-nuclear sentiment that drew at least one governmental promise of a look into claims that millions could survive nuclear war. One anti-nuke group had not finished its job of publicly de nouncing the nuclear arms race in commemoration of the bomb ings by the United States of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War II. About 40 activists from the United States, Australia and Canada ignored fog, rain and government warnings and held maneuvers in small boats near Washington state’s Hood Canal Monday to prepare for a con frontation with the nation’s first Trident nuclear submarine, the USS Ohio, when it enters port. The protesters ranged in age from young children to a 78- year-old grandmother. The Navy will not reveal when the 560-foot, $1.2 billion Ohio is expected to enter the canal en route to the Navy base at Bangor, Wash., to take on its arsenal of 24 multiple warhead Trident 1 missiles. But the Federal Aviation Administration closed the air space over the waterway Sun day, and Coast Guard cutters converged in waters off Port Angeles Monday — signs the protesters said could constitute a dress rehearsal for the Trident’s arrival. Monday, the 37th anniver sary of the bombing of Nagasa ki, the “no nukes” movement concentrated on civil disobedi ence at military and nuclear faci lities across the country, and law enforcement officers dutifully marched many to jail. Demonstrators who occupied fallout shelters in Atlanta left peacefully after officials prom ised to examine civil defense procedures for a nuclear attack. The protesters maintain gov ernment claims that millions of people could survive a nuclear attack are unfounded and could make war more likely. Fulton County Commissioner Reginald Eaves promised he would work to introduce a prop osal calling for improved public education on nuclear war. He also said he would study civil de fense procedures. “We consider it a victory,” said protester Mark Reeve. About 50 protesters, who marched past the Strategic Air Command’s main gate at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska to mark the hour the atomic bomb fell on Nagasaki, sat down in the street and blocked traffic. A spokesman said 49 people were detained — the largest number ever taken into custody in a non-violent protest at SAC. As the buses drove away, the protesters from six states sang a song commemorating the Naga saki bombing. The refrain was, “Now we tell you, nevermore, let this one be the last one.” Police arrested 60 anti nuclear militants in New York City when they tried to blockade doorways to a nuclear research firm. After marching two days and 20 miles, peace activists con cluded three days of protests at General Electric Corp.’s space center at Valley Forge, Pa. Man killed in fall from Travis cliff United Press International AUSTIN — A Dallas man, 27, fell to his death Monday from a 60-foot cliff while swimming at Hamilton’s Pool, a popular swimming hole in southwest Travis County. Curtis Weeks of the Travis County Sheriffs Department said Kenneth Edward Goodroe Jr. fell from a cliff above the waterfall at the natural pool. Four persons have died from falls at the pool since 1980, de spite warnings not to dive from the cliffs. “What can you do to stop them? Up to 90 percent of those who jump are hurt or killed,” said Eugene Reimers, the pool’s owner. “I’ve done all I know how. I can’t stand up there and pull them back, though I’ve tried that.” r jfyyyWAAd>WWWUIAWWIIIItfyiAAIIflAAIWlAAJ|||ftflVWy J "service* 41 ' Foreign 4 Domestic 5tXfco] 5 TOTAL PERFORMANCE FULL CAR CARE • Air Conditioning • Tune Ups • Brakes • Charging Systems • Engine Rebuilding • gg OWNER J.
