Tourists

in Baja
United Press International
CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico —
Three U.S. tourists and a New Zea
lander were killed and a fourth
American was injured when the car
they were traveling in crashed head-
on with a bus in Baja California, offi
cials said Monday.
The accident occurred Saturday
on the highway between San Jose del
Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, resorts at
the extreme southern tip of the Baja
California Peninsula, some 700 miles
south of the U.S. border.
The three American tourists
killed were identified as Fred and
Lily Broward of Venice, Calif., and
Linda Price, 33, no hometown given,
said a U.S. Embassy spokesman.
Ronald Ferguson, of New Zea
land, was also killed in the crash,
while the fourth American, Cathe
rine Michelle Avila, was injured and
evacuated Sunday to Scripps Hospi
tal in California, the spokesman said.
A report in La Prensa newspaper
said the driver of the taxi, Juan de
Dios Ariste, 25, also died in the
crash.
The tourists were en route to
Cabo San Lucas when the taxi
crossed into the lane of oncoming
traffic and crashed head-on into a
bus. A truck then rammed the car
from behind, said authorities in the
peninsula.

WASHINGTON — Naval inci
dents that led to direct U.S. military
involvement in Vietnam may have
been provoked by covert operations
much like those the CIA is backing
in Nicaragua, U.S. News 8c World
Report said Sunday.
In a top secret cable, the secretary

ese attack on a U.S. warship was re
lated to raids against North Vietnam
by U.S.-paid mercenaries, the mag
azine said.
Its 12-page report, based on inter
views and examination of recently
declassified documents, also ques
tions whether the so-called Gulf of
Tonkin incident — a North Viet
namese attack on two U.S. destroy
ers — ever occurred.
Responding to the attack on the
destroyers, President Lyndon John
son ordered air strikes against North
Vietnam and Congress passed what
became known as the Gulf of Ton
kin Resolution.
The resolution gave Johnson
power to expand the war. Although
rescinded in 1971, that resolution is
at the center of the present-day de
bate between Congress and the
White House over war-making pow
ers.

A variety of films important in the
history of cinema will be shown this
fall by a new club.
The club will show movies that do
more than just entertain, said Pro
fessor Larry Hickman, originator of
Alternative Cinema. Alternative
Cinema is a special interest club that
is concerned with more than new
films and popular classics, Hickman
said.
Not all the scheduled films are
old, Hickman said. The movies
planned for the fall date from 1934
to 1974. The movies Hickman has
arranged are not being shown in
surrounding cinemas or have not
been shown ai Texas A&M.
“Films are important documents
in the history :>f cinema,” Hickman
said. “There are classics in literature
like Shakespeare, and there are clas
sics in cinema. Students can’t be fully
educated until they have this back
ground in cinema knowledge.”
Texas A&M is the largest place
most students will ever live, Hick
man said. If cultural opportunity is
not made accessible to the students
while they are here they will never
get it, he said, so Alternative Cinema
is just what Texas A&M needs.
Hickman said Texas A&M is hurt
ing because there is not a large visual
arts program. The situtation is get
ting better but there are only limited
resources available, he said.
Hickman said the films chosen for
the fall represent the best in the his
tory of cinema. Hickman has been
trying to organize something like
this for a while.
“Most of our subscribers are fac
ulty members and professional peo
ple in the community that were wait
ing for a cultural opportunity like
this to begin,” he said.
Membership in Alternative Cin
ema is by subscription basis. Hick'-
man said the pass is transferable and
each holder is entitled to 10 admis
sions. Hickman said the point is to

United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Pu
litzer-Prize winning Doonesbury
comic strip, which last ran in Jan
uary 1983, will return Sept. 30 with
characters who have grown into “co
caine and herpes,” Universal Press
Syndicate has announced.
The adventures of college student
Mike Doonesbury and his pals from
Walden Pond ended when their cre
ator Garry Trudeau said he wanted
to take a break so he could take a
fresh look at the characters.
“My characters are understand
ably confused and out of sorts,” he
said at the time. “It’s time to give
them $20 haircuts, graduate them
and move them into the larger world
of grown-up concerns.”
Since Trudeau’s leave of absence,
Universal Press Syndicate said it has
been “inundated with questions”
about the return of the satirical
comic strip.
“Garry felt his characters needed
some time to make the journey from
‘draft beer and mixers to cocaine
and herpes,”’ said John P. McMeel,
president of the Fairway, Kan.-based
Universal Press, in announcing the
revival of Doonesbury. “On Sept. 30,
when the Doonesbury saga resumes,
readers will see just how well they
have fared.”
Trudeau was 22 and just out of
Yale School of Architecture when
“Doonesbury” debuted in 28 news
papers Oct. 26, 1970.
As of Jan. 2, 1983, the last time
the comic strip appeared, 726 news
papers in the United States and
abroad (with readership of 60 mil
lion) were running “Doonesbury.”
The antics of Trudeau’s charac
ters sometimes generated such con
troversy that editors refused to run
certain sequences, moved them to
editorial pages or tried to bury the
strip in the classified section.
During his sabbitical, Trudeau
worked on his broadway musical of
the same name.
“Doonesbury,” which opened at
New York’s Biltmore Theater Nov.
21, 1983, and ran for 125 perfor
mances, was not considered a lii
cial success but generally recei'
good reviews.
His animated Film, “A Doo»f
bury Special” for NBC-TV was n°|
inated for an Oscar and received
Special Jury Prize at Cannes!
Festival. In 1975, he became theft |
comic strip artist to win a Pulitf
Prize for cartoons.
