Page 4 Demonstrators duel over war Associated Press From the halls of government to a basketball arena, Texans showed support Thursday for U.S. troops Fighting in the Persian Gulf. Others joined demonstrations calling for peace. Two rival rallies on the University of Texas campus, staged less than 100 yards apart, clearly illustrated the split in public opinion. "USA! USA! USA!” chanted a crowd of about 500 students at a rally on the west steps of UT’s main administration building, while a like number on the south steps re sponded, “No blood for oil!” Dueling groups of demonstrators later converged on the Capitol. Those backing President Bush’s pol icies waved American flags, while anti-war protesters waved black flags. The anti-war group then marched down Congress Avenue, Austin’s main downtown street, and blocked traffic. Paul Yioutas, chairman of the Col lege Republicans, said, “Although we are reluctant to sacrifice Ameri can lives, we realize that sometimes these sacrifices, and even war, are necessary.” Said Julie Lemay, one of about 200 anti-war demonstrators who converged on the Capitol, “This war, the minute it began, began destroy ing lives, began destroying families. This isn’t right, and it’s destroying lives in all kinds of ways.” The Texas House of Representa tives opened its session with a prayer for the troops, and Speaker Gib Le wis called for a moment’s silence “in memory of those servicemen and women who are serving our country in the Persian Gulf.” Across Texas, security was beefed up at airports and military posts. Dallas police increased protection of President Bush’s son, George W. Bush. In Austin, the Sematech semicon ductor research consortium evac uated some 700 employees after re ceiving a bomb threat. Spokesman Buddy Price quoted the caller as say ing, “The war has just begun. There is a bomb. This is no joke.” No bomb was found, he said. The University of Texas Long horns basketball team added yellow patches to their uniforms in honor of U.S. troops before a game against the University of Houston.
