Without free trade and a market for U.S. goods, Bentsen said the country’s economy would be based on service industries. “Our muscle will turn to Jell-O if we de-industrialize,” he said. “I warn you, you can't remain a world leader and keep your defenses strong with a Taco Bell economy.” The possibility of a link between the strangling murder of a Texas A&rM graduate student Nov. 25 and that of a University of Texas student two days later is weak, a spokesman for the Austin Police Department said Monday. The body of Linden Kauffman- Linam, 34, an A&M graduate stu dent in the Department of Oceanog raphy, was discovered the night of Nov. 25 at her apartment outside of College Station. In an article in Thursday’s Bryan-College Station Eagle, Brazos County Sheriff Ron nie Miller said the woman appar ently was strangled with a rope or a cord. The Associated Press reported Friday that Connie Jane Bibb, 28, a senior education major at the Uni versity of Texas, was strangled to death with a pair of pantyhose Thursday night in her Austin home. The victim was discovered with a scarf stuffed in her mouth. Austin police spokesman Kellye Norris said speculation that the two cases might be related originated with an Austin television station. “We’re leaving the possibility open that they could be related be cause right now anything is possi ble,” Norris said, “bin any link tween the two is really weak." Norris said an expert in perse ily profiles from the TexasDep merit of Public Safety will be y ing on the case later this iveek Dr. Roberto Bayardo, In County medical examiner,saida was no evidence of sexual asm the Austin killing. But Boh Wiatt, director of s« rity and University police at Ai said Sunday that the kauffnu nam murder was sex-relaiedA is assisting with this investigation) cause of his experience with in\K gating sex-related homicides ns he worked for the FBI.

Monday-Friday 9:00 am to 3:30 pm Behind The MSC Pott Office AUST IN (AP) — Among the fa mous ones are Frank’s kids, Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa; Tatum O’Neal (Ryan’s daughter); Chastity and Elijah Blue (Cher’s children; and China (daughter of Grace Slick). They are kids who, at birth, were saddled with names that weighed more than they did. And it’s not just rockers and movie stars who give their kids unusual names. Many local kids who bear 50-cent names say they like them. “I love mine,” said Thor Oakley Armbruster, 18, a senior at Westlake High. “It sets me apart a little. I like having a name that’s not like any body else’s.” The young man contradicts what all the childhood experts say: Par ents should not give their children strange-sounding names because the kids will develop complexes and re sent Mom and Dad for sticking them with bizarre handles. “I don’t think that’s true,” said Vashti Kaufman, 15. (Her name, pronounced VASH-tie, was taken from the Bible.) “At least, it’s not true in my case. I think if the name sounds funny, you might resent your parents, but I don’t think mine sounds bad at all.” In Austin high schools, you still find Missys and Matts and Jasons and Amys and Jennifers on the ros ters. And there are a handful of used-to-be-unusual names like Brit tany and Noah and Kendall and Trey. But we’re talking real unusual names here. Names like Wroe and Kam and Cade lor boys. Or Mystan and Sabre and Kesler and Kierce for girls. The kids seem to think that their first names set them apart and allow them some individuality. Austin High student Tirzah Mc Lain already has decided that if she has a daughter of her own, she’ll give her an unusual name, too. She favors Tezena Murisa. “I hate plain names,” Tirzah said. “My middle name is Kim, and to tell the truth, I hate it. For me, my name is a conversation piece. People a!i| what your name is and youtellth and (hey say, ‘Oh, how pretty!’! they ask how you got the name, to me, it’s an ice-breaker when meeting people.” Z James, 15, likes his name.loo- even if Z is the name he haswhinf for himself from his given name- Zarathustra, which was the name an ancient Persian prophet. “I get asked about having a naiw like Z,” he said. “But rather! into a big explanation, I tell that it’s just Z.” His parents, he said, took» name from the “Thus SpakeZan thustra” — the theme of the “2001.” Lab worker files suit challenging urine test The Battalion 845-2611 FANTASTIC.

Employees who fail the drug test would be al lowed to keep their jobs if they enter a drug treatment program and submit to periodic tests, she said. Minco customizes microchips and sells them to firms that use them in products sold to the mili tary. Coker said none of the work done at Minco is classified. The company had planned to begin the ran dom testing Monday, but Coker said the tests would be postponed pending action on Jennings’ suit. The class-action suit was filed on Jennings’ be half by the Texas Civil Liberties Union, which said it was the first Texas suit challenging drug testing by private employers. State District Judge Joe Hart of Austin has scheduled a Tuesday hearing on the TCLU’s re quest for an order that would ban the tests until the trial is completed. James Harrington, TCLU’s legal director, said urine tests “violate every concept of human dig nity and offends any reasonable person.” He said he would base his case on a 1903 Texas Supreme Court decision that barred a rail road from forcing an employee to submit to a urine test. The case involved an employee who sued after being injured on the job. Jennings said she is upset that Minco plans to have workers “observed” when giving the urine sample. But Roger Minard, Minco president, said the observation is not intrusive. “They don’t watch you go to the bathroom,” Minard said. “There’s someone in the room. They don’t watch you.” Minard added that the observer is needed “to be sure that the individual giving the specimen doesn’t bring in someone else’s specimen.” In a Sept. 29 memo to employees, Coker said, “Drug abuse and employment with Minco Tech nology Labs Inc. are simply incompatible. Fur ther, the sensitive nature of our mission and product, and, in particular, our status as subcon tractor to many Department of Defense projefl' makes it necessary and proper to implement ditional policies and procedures for the handling of drug abuse,” he said. About 20 people in Minco managementha« taken, and passed, the test, Coker told reporters She said the tests were implemented“parlii 1 in support of the president making his stand)! it, partially because of some problems thaue't had in the past, and partially for the peopleai» fellow team members that are working hereai® the sensitivity of our work.” Minco has 160 employees. Earlier this year, a Minco inventory clerk" arrested for stealing materials from the at pany. Minard said the worker was sentenced 10 years in prison. “That one individual alone cost our comp)') $250,000,” he said, adding that the workerstok to get money for drugs. Coker said the test does not invade work® privacy. “It’s their business, but if what they’re doinf' illegal, and drugs are illegal, then it becomes*' business because it does influence their jobber) she said. Employees will not be checked for alcol) abuse because alcohol is not illegal, Coket said For Sale. Chevette 1981. $2000. or best offer.
