Congressman
calls Reagan
peace obstacle
What’s up
Tuesday
DALLAS (AP) — Rep. Jim Chap
man has voted for aid to the Nicara
guan rebels in the past, but says he’ll
cast his vote against President Rea
gan’s $36 million proposal when
Congress considers the issue this
week.
The conservative Democrat from
Sulphur Springs said he believes the
Reagan administration, and not Ni
caraguan President Daniel Ortega, is
the bigger obstacle to peace in the
region. .
“Ortega is literally on his knees,”
Chapman said. “Our president has
basically told him to shove it,” he
said, adding that he sees Ortega
loosening the reins of the Sandinista
regime.
“We’ve got a president who re
fuses to discuss our national security
interests with the president of Nica
ragua, who in a letter this week has
begged the president to meet with
him anywhere,” Chapman said last
week.
The House Democratic lead
ership is against the administration’s
request, even though $3.6 million in
“lethal” aid would be withheld from
the Contras pending the outcome of
cease-fire talks that began last week.
Twenty congressmen a letter to
Reagan Jan. 21 suggesting that any
aid request carry the stipulation that
the monies be placed in escrow' while
the cease-fire talks were proceeding
and that all the aid be “non-lethal.”

to close or move by Feb. 10, but offi

businesses cannot operate within
1,000 feet of a church, school, resi

or another adult establishment.

Ten owners wfote back asking for
extensions, assistant city attorney
John Batoon said.
But city officials recently Reviewed
the ordinance and discovered that
five of the businesses can stay put,
Batoon said Monday. The night
clubs do not fall under the city’s defi
nition of live, nude entertainment —
the category regulated by the zoning
ordinance, he said.
Live, nude entertainment applies
to nightclubs featuring totally nude
dancers as well as stores that rent
and sell pornographic videotapes.
But nightclubs employing dancers
who wear minimal clothing are not
affected by the ordinance.

New insect control methods
may result from A&M studies
By Stan Golaboff
Reporter
Texas A&M researchers have
found a new way to study insect me
tabolism that may help in developing
new insect control methods, said
Howard Williams, senior scientist
for the chemistry department and
associate research chemist for the
entomolgy department.
Using nuclear magnetic reso
nance spectroscopy, researchers
have found a way to observe the
chemical reactions that go on inside
an insect without having to kill the
insect. Before this, researchers had
to kill the insect, Williams said.
Joining Williams in this research
was Dr. A. Ian Scott, director for the
Center for Biologial Nuclear Magne
tic Resonance, and Dr. S. Bradleigh
Vinson, professor of entomology.
The process works by putting the
insect in a test tube containing a
‘locking solution.’ The tube then is
placed in the spectrometer, which
consists of radio circuits inside a
powerful magnet. Using this equip
ment, the researchers are able to
chart the chemicals in the organism
and follow chemical changes, Wil
liams said.
“NMR is like an X-ray that not
only allows us to find where things
are, but what they are and how they
are formed,” Williams said.
This is possible because the nuclei
of many atoms resonate at a definite
radio frequency and can be seen,
Williams said.
\
By using this process, r<
may be able to find a way to cot
insect populations and the da®
caused by insects. Researchers

helped increase the accuracy(
results, Williams said.

and Vinson have doneisjustp*

from various sources, such asT

three men running from Todd’s
Houston house about 7 p.m. Sun

The house was spattered with
