SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A pro
posed domed stadium has been un

cacy group that could spell the end
of the plan, says Mayor Henry Cis
neros.
Citizens Organized for Public

five-year sales tax to build the sta

Sunday said “No!” when asked if
they could afford $158 million for \A/ti|(Ho

COPS is a coalition of churches in
the poor, mostly Hispanic, areas of
the city that has fought for social,
economic and political equality for
its residents.
The Rev. Rosendo Urrabazo, one
of five co-chairmen elected to head
the organization, brought up the
subject of Alamodome at the end of
the two-hour meeting Sunday.
“We may be the ninth-largest city
in the U.S., but we are still a Third
World state in housing, in education
and in public safety,” Urrabazo said.
“At this time in our history, to be No.
1 in football is a small dream.
“We are not against all taxes, but it
turns my stomach when I hear that
the stadium will make us a big-
league city.”
The mayor said the Catholic
priest’s position on the Alamodome
was apparent.
“From the nature of the leading
rhetoric, it is very clear to me that
opposition is where he is. If there’s
any blessing in this, it’s that I know
where COPS stands,” Cisneros said.

But the mayor said he would con
tinue to fight for the stadium, whose
proponents are trying to get 51,000
signatures on a petition to call for a
referendum in January.
“I believe it’s important to San
Antonio,” Cisneros said. “It could
mean 35,000 more jobs for the city.”
ERIC SP computer
offers assistance
in library research
By Mary Kay Mulvaney

Searching for journal articles or
any other library resources on edu
cation can be as easy as punching a
few keys with the Education Re
sources Information Center Silver
Platter database.
ERIC SP, located on the second
floor of the Sterling C. Evans Li
brary, is a complex governmental
database on a read-only-memory
compact disk system that covers both
the Resources in
Education and
Current Index
and Journals in
Education, says
Julia Rholes, head
of the library mi
crotext depart
ment.
The system of

Damacia Inman, a senior engi
neering technology major, re
searched euthanasia on the ERIC
SP.
“I didn’t think I’d find anything
on euthanasia, but I came over here
and punched it in and 25 topics ap
peared,” Inman said. “It is very in
formative.”
Rholes said ERIC SP is easy to use
because directions for the system are
located by the two work stations and
there is an ERIC
thesaurus, which
gives key words
for the field being
searched.

non-journals, such as technical re
ports, theses, and proceedings.
“It’s an enormous database —just
huge,” Rholes said. “The articles go
as far back as 1966 to June 1987 and
it is updated quarterly.”
The database doesn’t search the
entire journal or report but searches
for an abstract of the material,
Rholes explained. The user can
search by subject, title or author and
limit the search to particular years,
education types, curriculum guides
and bibliographies.
Although the College of Educa
tion uses ERIC SP the most, it isn’t
the only field that benefits from the
free database, Rholes said. Other

Another advantage offered by
ERIC SP is that students can make a
copy of their research results on
their own floppy disk.
“After they download their disk,
they have their own mini-database
that they can manipulate,” Rholes
said.
Weather Fact: Cumulus cloud height: Should you have theneedto
know the height of the bases of fair weather cumulus, it can be
approximated by multiplying the temperature dew point differenced
222. With an 88 degree temperature and a 70 degree dew point-ai

18 degree difference — multiplied by 222 = 3996 feet.
