House buzzes
over new bill
to study bees
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
House tentatively approved a bill
Monday that would allocate
$100,000 on an emergency basis for
research on the Africanized, or
killer, bee.
The funding is for research pro
jects, such as the development of in
secticides to kill or sterilize non-com
mercial bee colonies, according to a
report by the House Research Orga
nization.
Killer bees are prone to mass at
tacks and are inefficient honey pro
ducers and pollinators, said the re
port. The undesirable traits
dominate after a few generations
when they breed with domesticated
bees.
The bees are migrating north
ward from South America and now
are in Mexico about 560 miles south
of Brownsville. They are expected to
cross the border late this year or
early next year, according to current
projections, Rep. Renato Cuellar,
bill sponsor, said.
The research money is needed
this fiscal year because “this may be
the last time they swarm before they
come in,” Cuellar, D-Weslaco, said.
He sported a fuzzy yellow and
brown bee on his }apel and distrib
uted such fake bees to other mem
bers.
The killer bees will swarm from
March through May, he said.
Gov. Bill Clements has designated
the funding for the Texas Agricultu
ral Experiment Station to conduct
research as an emergency matter.
Another House vote is needed be
fore the bill could be sent to the Sen
ate for consideration.
In other action, the House gave
preliminary approval to a bill that
would prohibit courts from consid
ering the income of a person’s
spouse when setting the amount of
child support that person must pay.
Rep. Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen,
expressed concern about the mea
sure. He said if a father remarries
after divorcing his child’s mother,
the father’s payments for such items
as rent may go down and that should
be considered when looking at his
ability to pay child support.
Rep. Billy Clemons, D-Pollok, bill
sponsor, said there are '‘a lot of peo
ple living out of wedlock to avoid
this extra income being considered.”

Hearings on core curriculum continue
Hearings will continue today to
further define what courses
should count in the core curric
ulum. The open hearing will be
from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in 701 Rud
der.
Dr. Manuel Davenport, o>.
chairman of the Core Curriculum
Oversight Committee of the Fac
ulty Senate, said all students and
administrators are urged to par
ticipate in the discussions.
Soviet dissident to speak about glasnost
Dr. Alexander Goldfarb, the
first Soviet dissident in the West
allowed back to Moscow under
the new Soviet policy of glasnost,
will speak tonight at 8:30 in 601
Rudder.
Goldfarb left the Soviet Union
in 1975 and is an assistant profes-
sor of microbiology at Columbia
University. Before defecting, he
was active in the human rights
movement and served as a
spokesman for Soviet dissidents
to the Moscow foreign press.
Goldfarb’s presentation, “So
viet Dissident: Testing Glasnost,”
is sponsored by MSC Political Fo
rum.
Bill would forbid
lie detector exams
for assault victims
AUSTIN (AP) — Law enforce
ment agencies could not require a lie
detector examination before pursu
ing a sexual assault complaint under
a bill supported Monday by a woman
who said she felt “on trial” during
such an exam.
“I am a victim of sexual assault,
and this is wrong to have a victim
take a polygraph test. It’s so wrong,”
said Susan Gilhs, her voice breaking.
Gillis said she was assaulted in
Flatonia a year and a half ago, and
she subsequently took a polygraph
exam that was performed at the De
partment of Public Safety in Austin.
“To ask someone to take a poly
graph test and try to remain in a
composed nature ... 1 can’t do it a
year and a half later. To expect
someone to do it right after they’ve
been sexually assaulted is ludicrous,”
said Gillis, 22.
Gillis, who is from Dallas, said the
exam lasted four hours and that she
“cried through the whole thing.”
“I really did feel like I was the one
on trial,” she said. “The results were
inconclusive.
“It’s very frustrating to know that
the officials that are supposed to be
working with you will not do any
thing until you have taken this poly
graph test.”
Chief Deputy Gary Reaves of the
Fayette County Sheriffs Depart
ment, which worked on Gillis’case,
said the department only occasion
ally uses polygraph exams.
Reaves said officers are told not to
demand such exams but in some
cases ask if complainants would be
willing to take one. The exams are
not confined to sexual assault cases,
he said.
Such an exam would not be ad
missible in court and is used as an in
vestigatory tool, he said.
“Her case is still open. We did
pursue the case,” Reaves said. “Ev
erything we got hold of was checked
out. It’s just unsolved.”
The polygraph exam is not crucial
to the department’s work, he added
“We could probably make it just fine
without it.”
Rep. Juan Hinojosa, sponsor of
the bill, said he has found many law
enforcement agencies require a polv
graph exam by the victim beforelal-
ing a complaint. He said the “vast
majority” of such cases involve sex
ual assault.
“We feel this is an insult, and it’s
an attitude of blaming the victim,"
said Hinojosa, D-McAllen, an attor
ney. He said the polygraph exam is
not reliable.

Wright
(Continued from page 1)
and said “it’s one of the most outra
geous readings of legislative history”
he has seen. Overall, the report con
tains “a lot of noise, a lot of clamor
ing, but very little substance,” he
said.
Other matters before the commit
tee were more dear cut. The panel
voted unanimously that there was
reason to believe Wright failed to re
port as gifts the use of a car and Fort
Worth condominium he and his wife
received from Mallick. Committee
members voted 10-2 that Mrs.
Wright’s $ 18,000-a-year salary from
a Mallick-Wright company should
also be characterized as a gift, saying
she did little or nothing to earn the
money.
The panel also voted 10-2 that
certain bulk sales of Wright’s book,
“Reflections of a Public Man,” ap
peared to have been used to evade
House ceilings on outside earned in
come.
“In the committee’s view, seven
bulk sales of Rep. Wright’s book . . .
demonstrated an overall scheme to
evade the House outside earned in
come limit because (speaking) hono
rarium payments were recharacte
rized as royalties,” Dixon said.
The committee voted unani
mously to issue its statement of al
leged violation formally charging
the speaker with breaking the rules.
Forty-seven possible violations
raised by Phelan were dismissed.
Those involved allegations of im
proper lobbying of executive branch
officials, misuse of congressional
staff and misuse of campaign funds.
Republicans were largely holding
their fire Monday, aware that any at
tack could help Wright paint the in
vestigation — prompted last June by
a complaint from Rep. Newt Gin
grich, R-Ga. — as a partisan matter.
“No Republican is attacking Jim
Wright,” Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind.
said. “This is a bipartisan report of
the ethics committee. We are taking
a wait-and-see attitude. We will serve
as a jury. Let’s not make this parti
san.”
The report said that Mallightco, a
small investment company formed
by Wright, Mallick and their wives,
paid Mrs. Wright’s salary even
though it often had to borrow
money from Mallick’s own company
to do so. Mallightco was little more
than “a conduit for cash flowing
from the Mallicks to the Wrights,”
the report stated.
“T he nature and extent of the ap-‘
parent gifts from Mallick indicates
that Rep. Wright did not exercise
reasonable care to avoid even the ap-
peaxance of impropriety, which is
the hallmark of the House gift rule,”
Dixon said.
On the issue of Wright’s book,
Phelan characterized the enterprise
as from the beginning a ruse to
evade limits on speaking fees.
Hometown
(Continued from page 1)
“It’s a Texas massacre,” Hoyler
said. “First it was Tower, now
Wright. I think it’s more of a
Texas problem than a political
one. Since we got the super col
lider project and (President
George) Bush is from T exas and
we have strong representation
from (Sen. Phil) Gramm and
(Sen. Lloyd) Bentsen, I think the
other states are out to get us.”
Mike Price, director of Fort
Worth’s Greenwood Funeral
Home, said the committee’s
probe has been a vindictive witch
hunt from the outset.
“Being a Republican and
looking at it from that viewpoint,
I think what he did is not that
bad,” Price said. “I think the com
mittee is just vindictive and
they’re just out to get him. They
haven’t liked Jim Wright since he
got elected speaker of the House.
They’re just trying to get rid of
him.”
Fort Worth Mayor Boh Bolen
said he was disappointed with the
results announced Monday.
“It’s staggering to me ... unless
there is something they haven’t
disclosed, that it’s taken two
months and $2 million, and al
most paralyzed Congress, to find
these very minor infractions,” Bo
len said.
