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.
