San Antonio to ge
new greenhouse
beneath ground
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — A half-acre
underground greenhouse is under
construction near the downtown
area at a cost of $6.5 million, the
head of the San Antonio Botanical
Society announced Tuesday.
Hall Hammond, president of the
society, said the 90,000 square-foot
conservatory, which is scheduled lot
completion next fall, will be home
for some 20,000 plants and trees.
The conservatory is being built
mostly underground to provide pro
tection for the plant life from the in
tense heat and sunlight of South
Texas.
Designer Emilio Ambasz said,
“We had to provide protection for
the plants so they wouldn’t bake. So
we created a vessel underground,
using the earth to cool and protect
the plants.”
The garden, to be called the Lu-
cile Halsell Conservatory, will be visi
ble above ground only by glass roofs
that will allow in a controlled
amount of light, Abasz said.
Once the underground green
house is complete, it will be handed
over to the city for maintenance,
Hammond said.
Mayor Henry Cisneros, who was
on hand for the announcement.
said, “It is a major gift,araaioti
for the people of San Antoniot
joy.” . ,
“ I his is really going tobej
thing special for our dty.'he
“It will be one of the trulyJ
speaces in any city in theUlA.'
The conservatory, CisneraJ
“will allow people respectfulof
lure to walk through and see ;
life not usually seen in SouthTd
The plants will include troa
palms, rain forest ferns andj
cacti.
The garden will be built ankl
Antonio Botanical Gardens,!
run facility on a promontoryn
of downtown San Antonio.
The botanical society, a lodj
port group for the gardens,
the funds for the project.Thtil
of the money is from theEwinti
sell Foundation, which contri
$5 million.
Hammond predicted thei
ground gardens will attractn
attention architecturally andii
tourism standpoint.

“The letter did come in today,”
she said. “It was two or three sen

pointed to the corrections board
in 1981 by then-Gov. Bill Clem
ents.
He has been chairman for
about two years but has indicated
for some time he didn’t intend to
serve out his six-year term.
Contacted liy KAUZ-TV,
Gunn said Tuesday he was happy
about his decision to resign and
said it “was a good time for an
easy transition” because the cor
rections board was “changing in
purpose and effort.”
Also Tuesday, the Pale

plans to resign immediately.
The newspaper said it hadi
tained a copy of a letter f
sent fellow prison board
hers.

ings and only minimal reyif.l

“I think it’s a real turning in our
courts,” said Keith Thornton, a den
tist and official of Dallas Doctors
Against AIDS, a group that includes
46 doctors and dentists.
But Judge Irving Goldberg, a
member of the three-judge panel
that ruled last year, said in the main
dissent Monday: “If ever there was a
constitutional right to privacy, Texas
has violated it by blatantly intruding
into the private sex lives of fully con
senting adults.”
That decision was appealed by
Potter County District Attorney
Danny Hill and later supported by
the Doctors Against AIDS.
Elna Christopher, spokeswoman
for Texas Attorney General Jim
Mattox, said that MattoxwouHl
