sues, but “not peace in the Middle
East.”
The outburst went unchallenged
by Diane Sarver, who was reading
Gramm’s message.
The rally also included tearful tes
timony by Teresa Swords of the Bra
zos Valley Crisis Pregnancy Service.
Swords, a former A&M student,
said she chose to have an abortion
several years ago.
“When I made the choice to end
my child’s life, I didn’t realize 1 also
chose to end my life as well,” Swords
said. “A quick fix became an eight-
year ordeal.”
The pregnancy service provides
information on all options, as well as
counseling, to anyone in need of
help, Swords said.
Dwight Edwards, pastor of Grace
Bible Church in College Station, said
abortion will remain one of the most
important issues of the 1990s.
“God, without a doubt, considers
a fetus a person,” Edwards said. “If
abortion is murder, then America is
guilty of a genocide more than triple
that of Nazi Germany.”
Mike Bradham, Aggies For fife
vice president of activities, said his
group had little trouble enlisting aid
from other groups and had taken
precautions in case trouble devel
oped with pro-choice demonstra
tors.
“I didn’t think we would have any
trouble until 1 got a crank phone call
at about 1 a.m.,” Bradham said.
“That made me put up my de
fenses.”
With the absence of opposing pro-
choice demonstrators, however, the
rally proceeded smoothly.

29-cent tulips
for new stamps
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
governors of the U.S. Postal Service
made official Tuesday a broad range
of rale increases, including a four-
cent boost, to 29 cents, lor a first-
class stamp.
The increase will take effect Feb.
3. Millions of new stamps have been
printed and are ready to go on sale
Wednesday.
The postal service had originally
asked for a 30-cent rate for first-class
mail, but the governors reluctantly
accepted an independent rate com
mission’s recommendation earlier in
the month to trim that increase by a
penny.
“By delaying action, our alterna
tive would be to accept up to $20
million a day in lost revenue that we
sorely need after three years of no
price increases,” Postmaster General
Anthony Fyank said.
“We are concerned that the com
mission’s calculations of volume are
incorrect,” said Norma Pace, chair
man of the postal governing board.
That could be too little income to
run the agency, she said.
The cost of sending a first-class
letter will rise to 29 cents for the first
ounce and 23 cents for each additio
nal ounce. That’s up from 25 cents
and 20 cents.
Representing the new first-class
rate will be the “F-Flower” stamp,
featuring a red tulip on a yellow
background. It’s the sixth in the se
ries of stamps printed w ith letters in
stead of prices, because the printing
had to start before the official rate
was known.
In addition, for the first time the
Postal Service is issuing what it calls a
make-up rate stamp. Its design is
hardly striking.
