Album case
not affected
by acquittal
DALLAS (AP) — A prosecutor
said acquittal of 2 Live Crew mem
bers on an obscenity charge will not
hurt a case against a retailer accused
of selling the rap group’s album.
Sound Warehouse of Dallas faces
charges for allegedly selling a 2 Live
Crew album, “As Nasty as They
Wanna Be,” to minors. Prosecutors
and a defense attorney are sched
uled to discuss the case at a court set
ting next month.
“It’s like comparing apples and
oranges,” Dallas County District At
torney John Vance said Sunday. “In
Florida, (2 Live Crew) was being
tried for their live performance.”
But in Dallas, prosecutors are try
ing the retailer for allegedly selling
the album to minors, he said. Sound
Warehouse was named July 27 on
misdemeanor charges.
Sound Warehouse faces eight
charges and a possible fine for sell
ing the album if convicted, the Dallas
County district attorney’s office said.
In a so-called announcement set
ting, prosecutors will discuss the case
with a defense attorney Nov. 8, said
Mike Sullivan, assistant district attor
ney in the obscenity section of the of
fice’s organized crime unit.
Sullivan said the setting has been
postponed until then to allow Gerald
Goldstein, attorney for Sound Ware
house, time to handle another court
case.

State agency
finds crowding
in schools
Nerd House by Tom A. Madiso
HOUSTON (AP) — Texas Edu
cation Agency records show the
Houston Independent School Dis
trict, the state’s largest, is the only
major district in Texas that still has
overcrowded pre-kindergarten and
kindergarten classrooms.
Agency spokesman Joey Lozano
says the Houston district also is the
only major school district to seek
waivers on class size limits for all six
grade levels where limits are in
According to Texas law, no more
than 22 students are allowed in class
rooms for students from pre-kinder
garten through the fourth grade.
The law does allow districts, how
ever, to request exemptions if they
don’t have enough classroom space
or teachers.
In January, the Houston schools
won waivers for 676 classes.

Bush vetoes bill;
override unlikely
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush vetoed a major civil rights
bill Monday and seemed assured of
winning a battle in Congress to over
ride him.
“I deeply regret having to take
this action,” Bush said.
The president called on lawmak
ers to enact his version of the mea
sure before they quit for the year,
expected later this week.
The administration argued that
the bill, as passed by Congress,
would force businesses to adopt quo
tas in hiring and promotion. Sup
porters of the measure rejected the
White House argument and por
trayed Bush’s stand as a measure of
his commitment on human rights.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., the chief Senate sponsor,
called the veto “tragic and disgrace
ful.”
“When the chips are down, the
White House is against civil rights,”
Kennedy said. He urged Congress to
override the president.
The bill was approved by substan
tial margins in both the House and
Senate, but both votes fell short of
the two-thirds needed to override.
Rep. Augustus F. Hawkins, D-
P r
said he would not even ask for an
override vote without the two-thirds
needed by supporters. “I’m just not
O to waste any more time,”
ins said, adding that civil rights
forces might even lose support in an
override fight.
The measure would nullify six Su
preme Court decisions that have
made it more difficult for women
and minorities to prove and win job
discrimination suits. It would ban ra
cial harassment in the workplace and
allow punitive damages in the most
serious discrimination cases.
It was passed by the Senate 62-34
and by the House 273-154.
Bush said there were many simila
rities between the bill he vetoed and
the version that the administration
supports. Civil rights advocates de
nounced the latets version of Bush’s
bill as a sham for permitting chal
lenged hiring practices to stand if
they could be justified on such
grounds as “customer relations,” jus
tifications they said were used to
support the separate-but-equal “Jim
Crow” laws of the first half of the
20th century that kept African-
Americans in segregation.
