The Company with 14 years experience Instructor - Vicki Whitener, M. A. Organizations present idea Sta on Election Awareness Day ove Critic By Laura White Staff Writer Several student and community orga nizations provided speakers and litera ture about local and national candidates during Wednesday’s Election Awareness Day. Major issues of the upcoming elec tion also were discussed. The program was sponsored by MSC Political Forum. Patrick Houston, Political Forum spe cial events chairman, said the awareness day served two purposes. “We want to give the students basic information on the issues and to increase voter awareness,” he said. Coalition, Texas A&M Green Earth So ciety, Clean Slate for ’88, Aggie Demo crats, Victory ’88 and Aggie GOP. District 6 Republican Congressman Joe Barton also was available to answer questions. Alfie Mahmoud, a sophomore from Kingwood and representative for Victory ’88, said although his organization pro motes George Bush and the Republican party, the group’s emphasis during the awareness day was getting people to vote. “Today we’re mainly answering ques tions on where and how to vote,” he said. “It’s really important that everyone either shows up on Nov. 8 or votes ab sentee at the Community Center on Jer sey Street.” voters than any other school in Texas. “All in all, 13,000 people have been registered to vote at A&M,” he said. “Hopefully they’ll all show up on Nov. 8 and help get the right man — George Bush — elected.” Although the main goal of election awareness day was to inform students on issues, some of the groups sponsoring speakers and passing out literature were also trying to sway voters preferences in the direction of their candidate. After Election Awareness Da; students said they were better it about the election, but softie sail were more skeptical. “1 guess I’m a little more info: Tracey Bailey, a freshman bock. said. “1 think people ares going to vote for the party, (hour not the candidates themselves.” Among the organizations represented in the MSC were the Texas Grassroots Andy Keetch, director of publicity for Victory ’88, said A&M registered more Carlos Huerta, secretary for Aggie Democrats, said one of the group’s goals in the awareness program was to counter the Republican campaigns. “We want to clear up the lies that have been going on around here,” he said. “We also want the students to know that you don’t have to be Republican to be cool at A&M.” Clifton Green, a freshman froii bock, said he did not think am ; candidates’ real views were show; program. “I think it’s pretty much as thing,” he said. “This is just I pie spirited about the election. come down to it, all the candidal; demagogues anyway.

Boulter, an Amarillo congressman, spoke before about two dozen people at a rally and news conference. Bentsen faces Boulter in the Senate race and is also Dukakis’ vice presi dential running mate in the White House campaign. The conservative Boulter praised Dukakis’ courage for def ining himself as a liberal, but said, “I don’t have respect for Lloyd Bentsen. He is too hypocritical to be a liberal or a con servative. “He has no commitment to any philosophy under the sun as far as I can see,” he said. “He is the most elitist, special-in terest, backroom powerbroker politician this country has ever seen in its history.” Although facing an uphill struggle. Boulter said, “It is going to backfire on Lloyd Bentsen on Nov. 8. Now to top it all off, he is turning his back on Michael Dukakis to come back and save his Senate seat. ” Earlier this week, Dukakis identified himself as a liberal in the tradition of presidents Franklin Roosevelt and John Ken nedy, but Boulter said Dukakis’ liberal roots were with former vice president Walter Mondale. Jack Devore, a spokesman for Bentsen’s Senate campaign, said Boulter’s statements are getting harsher. “He seems to be coming apart at the seams,” Devore said. He said Bentsen is campaigning a lot in Texas, but he also will campaign in about 10 other states before the election. In other political developments: — The state Dukakis-Bentsen campaign said it will dis patch 400 lawyers statewide on Election Day to handle allega tions of voter intimidation by Republicans. “We’re not going to let George Bush steal your election,” Larry Veselka, state counsel for the Dukakis-Bentsen cam paign, said. He said the Bush-Dan Quayle campaign had unleased an army of “bigoted Republican zealots’’ who are trying to in timidate voters, particulary Democratic voters, in a manner that is offensive to all Texans. Veselka said incidents of voter intimidation and mischief during absentee balloting are occurring in minority precincts that traditionally vote Democratic, especially in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. He said Republicans in Hidalgo County are challenging Hispanics at the polls and making them sign sworn affadavits attesting to their identity. The Bush campaign blasted the accusations. “The history of voter fraud shows it has been perpetuated by the Democrats and it has happened in the Valley,” state Bush campaign spokesman Mark Sanders said. “They (Democrats) are trying to motivate the troops by making vague charges,” he said. — The political action committee that wants English to be declared the official language of the nation endorsed the Bush-Quayle ticket, saying that Dukakis and Bentsen were leading to the downfall of America. American Ethnic Coalition criticized Dukakis and Bentsen for sometimes speaking Spanish while campaigning before many Spanish-speaking groups. The group said Bush has not expressed personal support for the “English Only” position, but added, the likelihood of his doing so is far greater than that of Dukakis.” i—■became the larj.

Framed photos of the dead child are either hanging on the walls or scattered in almost every room in the apartment on West Walnut Street. “It keeps her alive,” Mrs. Reyes said. She says she can’t bear to put the pho tographs away or to part with Roxann’s belongings, although it has been almost a year since she last saw her daughter al ive. The little girl’s orchid-painted bed room is still strewn with toys — two of them Christmas and birthday packages that she will never open. the Collin County medical examiner’s office used a sophisticated video-imag ing process at the University of North Texas to identify the remains as Rox- ann’s. Garland police detective Steve Sin gleton said there are no new leads in the case. “We’re just following up any leads that come in ... no matter how insignifi cant they seem,” he said. But, so far, disappointments are all she has gotten for her efforts. “They’re about to disconnect my long-distance service again,” she said. Several fund-raisers — including a haunted house held at the apartment complex last weekend — have raised little money. Often Reyes and her hus band have had to spend their own money to break even on the events, she said. Reyes said she continues to hold hope the remains buried under the tiny head stone marked “Our Little Angel” in the Babyland section of Restland Memorial Park are not those of Roxann. Roxann Hope Reyes was abducted about 4 p.m. on Nov. 3, 1987, as she picked wildflowers behind the Meadow Terrace apartment complex, which Mrs. Reyes still manages. A little girl who was with Roxann told police that a man in a gray jogging suit and sneakers of fered Roxann a treat if she would go with him. A girl’s remains were found in May in a field near Murphy, in Collin County, north of Dallas, and investigators with “But I’m not going to get my hopes built back up about it,” she said. “If she’s out there. I’ll find her and if she’s not, she’s in good hands.” Last spring, Reyes founded Operation Hope, an organization that distributes fliers bearing information and photos of missing children. Reyes has a computer, a typewriter and file drawers in her apart ment, where she spends hours each week telephoning police departments across the country and scheduling fund-raisers she hopes will give the organization the boost it needs. The haunted house, which was to have opened last Friday night, did not open until Saturday because some volunteers backed out, she said. Tickets sold for the haunted house on Saturday, Sunday and Monday totaled only about $37. “This has been the worst year of my life,” Reyes said. “I’ve tried so hard to make this organization go, but nobody seems to want to help. Our kids are what’s going to make tomorrow. If they keep disappearing or getting molested, what kind of tomorrow are we going to have?” Despite disappointing turnouts, Reyes plans to go ahead with plans for monthly “counseling sessions” for families of missing children. since U.S. District Judge Lr| Bunton ruled Sept. 30 that had discriminated against His| agents, said Orlando Quintan Albuquerque lawyer affiliated the plaintiffs’ legal team.
