AUSTIN (AP) — A plan for a Univer
sity of Texas museum to exhibit the orig
inal Goddess of Liberty statue could be
carried out next year.
Officials said if enough private funds
can be raised the project will go on as
planned.
The statue stood atop the Capitol for
97 years.
State and university officials said last
spring that the 15-foot, 7-inch zinc statue
soon would be displayed at the Texas
Memorial Museum.

The statue is cracked in several places.
It was removed from the Capitol in
1985.
The original Goddess was replaced
atop the Capitol with an aluminum rep
lica.
The State Preservation Board, which
has custody of the statue, has received a
pledge of about $25,000 from Chevron
USA and is negotiating with other poten
tial donors for the rest of the funds, Ms.
Campbell said.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Morning
sunlight filtered through trees onto the
roofs of shabby houses and government-
subsidized apartment complexes in the
city’s west side as Juanita Valdez ran af
ter a bearded man in soiled, tattered
clothing.
Valdez could only speak to the man in
a hoarse whisper because the removal of
a tumor from her throat has made speak
ing almost impossible. But she didn’t
need words — the pair of pants that she
thrust at him was communication
enough.
Valdez had noticed the man’s torn
pants as he sat in Inner City Devel
opment Inc.’s bright-green wood-frame
headquarters on Chihuahua Street eating
a free meal of mashed potatoes, beans
and hot sauce. While the man ate his
meal, she had walked out to the small
metal trailer behind Inner City and sorted
through piles of donated clothing to find
him a better pair of pants.
“I always just have to guess at their
sizes,” she said.
Valdez, 36, is supporting five children
on food stamps and Social Security bene
fits, and sometimes is too sick to leave
the modest wood-frame home built for
her by a San Antonio community pro
ject. Nevertheless, she often spends six
days a week cooking meals for as many
as 150 of the city’s homeless and helping
needy families fill out the necessary pa
perwork to receive food and clothing.
death,” Inner City volunteer Pat Bone.
42, said. “A bunch of kids and support
ers went out to the airport to meet her
with a bunch of balloons. ’ ’
Although Valdez met celebrities, such
as actress Shari Belafonte Harper, who
presented her with the award, and was
interviewed by reporters, she maintained
her laid-back style.
