Battali Supreme Court absolves children SP from facing their accused abusers WASHINGTON (AP) — People charged with child abuse have no guaranteed right to face-to-face con frontations with their young accus ers if the children would suffer emo tional trauma as a result, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. In a pair of 5-4 rulings, the court gave tacit approval to the constitu tionality of measures taken by many states to spare children from such potentially traumatic confrontations. Those measures include the use of videotaped testimony, testimony by one-way closed circuit television and even testimony by doctors and others who interviewed alleged abuse victims. “A state’s interest in the physical and psychological well-being of child-abuse victims may be suffi ciently important to outweigh, at least in some cases, a defendant’s right to face his or her accusers in court,” Justice Sandra Day O’Con nor wrote for the court. Concluding its 1989-90 term, the court also upheld federal policies that favor minorities in awarding broadcast licenses, a major victory for affirmative action. By a 5-4 vote, the justices said preferential Federal Communica tions Commission policies do not dis criminate unlawfully against whites. The court did not address the issue of women’s rights, but FCC affirma tive action policies treat women and ethnic minorities almost identically. In a case from Florida, the court said the commission could give spe cial, favorable consideration to mi norities in awarding a television sta tion license. And in a case from Connecticut, the court upheld the commission’s “distress-sale” policy, which allows a broadcaster faced with the loss of his license to sell to a Highest court rules in favor of affirmative action quotas for granting broadcast licenses WASHINGTON <AP) — The Supreme Court said Wednesday the federal government may fa vor minorities in awarding broad cast licenses, a surprising victory for affirmative action from a court that has recently trimmed racial preferences. The justices, voting 5-4, ruled that Federal Communications Commission policies designed to bring diversity to the nation’s air waves do not violate the rights of white people. The decision delighted stunned proponents of affirma tive action. “Scrape me off the floor,” said Andrew Jay Schwartzman of the Media Access Project, a coalition of groups that had urged the court to uphold the FCC policies. “The Supreme Court has opened the door of opportunity for America’s minorities.” Schwartzman said the ruling also lets the FCC continue its pol icy of giving preferential treat ment to women seeking broadcast licenses. Although the court did not ad dress the issue of women’s rights, FCC affirmative action policies treat women and minorities al most identically. Throughout the history of the two cases ruled on Wednesday, the FCC has argued that women’s rights were at issue. The ruling also removes a threat to other federal affirma tive action programs, including those adopted by the Transporta tion and Defense Departments and by the Small Business Ad ministration. In Wednesday’s ruling. Justice William J. Brennan wrote for the court that congressional approval of racial preferences shields such programs from the kind of chal lenge that could invalidate similar state and dty plans. Bush administration officials are disturbed by provisions of the bill they say could force busi nesses to adopt hiring quotas.

In other rulings, the court: • Limited the power of environ mentalists to sue in federal court to prevent the opening of federal lands to commercial development. • Upheld Arizona’s death penalty law in a decision that also removes a constitutional shadow from similar laws in Idaho and Montana. • Ruled in a Maryland case that most of the nation’s post offices may ban all soliciting on their property. The child-abuse decisions, in cases from Maryland and Idaho, are ex pected to make it easier to prosec people on such charges. The number of cases is now: More than 2.2 million child-all reports were filed in 1988, accon to the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse. “This is a victory for childtsj Joyce Strom of the Child Wei League of America said after le; ing of the rulings. “This is a step! the right direction for strengths a judicial system to protect chil and acknowledging their s| needs.” However, the decisions were* total victory for the states nor aniphuston R<> ( defeat for the Constitution's San Anti Amendment, which says that 'i criminal prosecutions, the aa shall enjoy the right ... to be fronted with all witnesses ai him.” Writing for the court i Maryland case, O’Connor “That the face-to-face confronl requirement is not absolute does of course, mean that it mayeasiltj dispensed with.” She added: “A defendant’s ... may be satisfied ... only where nial of such confrontation is b essary to further an importanlp: lie policy and only where i reliability of the testimony isotb wise assured.” O’Connor said trial judges r, shield children f rom such confrc: lions only when substantial e& tional trauma — not mere nem, ness or reluctance — would resuli Chief Justice William H.

JThe Mave jui ies, a star lousy di Ltd Wedne: toiry to chan parly Wee Poll: Americans saw taxes coming Associated Press President Bush’s flip-flop on his hallmark campaign pledge of “no new taxes” is generating more heat than a summer hot spell in Death Valley. Taxes and the hot air of broken political promises provided a com bustible mix for people in the street, radio talk show callers and headline writers. It didn’t play well in Peoria either. “I think all politicians have some little white lies in them,” said Peter Sienkowski, 52, a Dallas Republican. WABC Talk Radio in New York City played Bush’s oft-repeated cam paign pledge with his Tuesday statement that reducing the federal deficit would need “tax revenue in creases.” The about-face prompted a torrent of calls. “How many times have we heard that phrase, ‘read my lips?’ ” won dered Paulette Pettit of WABC. i Thursday ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS: There will be a general discussion at 6 p.m. Call the C.D.P.E. at 845-0280 for more information. TEXAS A&M STUDENT CHAPTER OF AMERICAN METEOROLOGY SO CIETY: Dr. Lyons will speak about hurricanes at 7 p.m. in the O&M Observatory. Sales tax (Continued from page 1) taxes in College Station. The proposal has the added effect of increasing students’ contributions to the costs of local government, since Texas A&M students pay sales tax, but pay property taxes only indi rectly as a part of their rent. Students living on the A&M cam pus do not pay utilities or property taxes since A&M is a non-taxable state institution. Richard Morton, assistant to the Bryan city manager, said Bryan also will use its increase to lower property taxes since the value of property in Bryan has been falling and sales have picked up in the area. Abortion (Continued from page 1) sion for school administered medi cine, artificial tanning and earpier cing,” Redfield said. Some pro-choice advocates, how ever, believe the Supreme Court’s latest decision is just the beginning of a dangerous move. Susan Neney, director of commu nications for Planned Parenthood, said the Court’s decision is threaten ing to young adults. “Many women do not wish to in volve their parents, for very good reasons,” she said. Neney said some girls may wish to keep abortion private in fear that vi olence may be the reaction from an gry parents. Moreover, a girl who might come from a loving and car ing family fears disappointment and shame from the family. Neney also said if the law forces girls to involve their parents against their judgement, society will witness a recurrence of what happened be fore 1973 when obtaining an abor tion was illegal. “They may find somebody to do a non-medical abortion or they may go to Mexico where illegal abortions are easily obtained,” she said. “This is very dangerous. Around 800 women die a month due to illegal abortions in Mexico.” Texas presently does not have a law requiring parental notification for a girl to obtain an abortion. Both groups, however, believe this certainly will be an issue during January’s legislative session in Aus tin. Both groups agreed young women need to take a stand when the issue arises in the state’s Capitol. “A pre-horn child desperately needs an advocate, and minors can benefit from wise and compassio nate counsel,” Redfield said. “Per haps many parents will serve in these capacities.” Neney, however, encourages young women to be well-informed and sensitive to the abortion issue when it comes time for the Legis lature to decide whether to act on the Supreme Court’s decision.
