Bush prays with nation
for peace in Middle East
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush led the country in a na
tional day of prayer for peace
Sunday, as his defense chief said
“the world has a long-term inter
est in seeing to it that Saddam
Hussein is never able” to wage
war again.
Defense Secretary Dick Che
ney said that should Saddam re
main in power after the Persian
Gulf War ends, the allies might
want to maintain sanctions to pre
vent him from rebuilding his mil
itary.
Cheney said the Iraqi army is
“formidable,” but that Saddam al
ready poses a reduced threat be
cause much of his nuclear, chemi
cal and biological weapons
capability has been destroyed. He
spoke on ABC’s “This Week With
David Brinkley.”
Bush, meanwhile, marked
Sunday’s “national day of prayer”
by attending a chapel service at
Camp David, Md.
Bush last week designated Sun
day as a national day of prayer
and asked all Americans to “turn
to our greatest power and unite
together in prayer.” He was re
turning to the White House later
Sunday.
Just a week after 75,000 anti
war activists demonstrated out
side the White House, a flag-wav
ing crowd of 3,500 rallied Sunday
in support of Bush’s Gulf policies.
The Army, meanwhile, played
down the discovery of a transmis
sion defect in the Bradley Fight
ing Vehicle. T he Associated Press
on Saturday reported that the
service was rushing to inspect the
Bradleys after a Pentagon memo
warned the defect could limit the
vehicles’ speed.
"1 have over 100,000 combat
systems and vehicles in this the
ater,” said Lt. Gen. John J. Yeo-
sock of the U.S. Army Central
Command. “So the magnitude of
this particular issue is not one
that should cause any undue
alarm or concern.” Yeosock ap
peared on CBS-TV’s “Face the
Nation.”

“We feel the general public will
support the war effort and do as the
commander requests,” he says.
More than 400,000 pounds of
mail a day was being sent to the Mid
dle East, Lachapelle says.
This voluntary mail restriction is
only a request, but Schwarzkopf has
the authority to ban any mail that is
not first class or audio cassettes, La
chapelle says.
“We are now seeing the mail slack
off slightly,” he says. “The military
post offices are still receiving
300,000 to 400,000 pounds of mail a
day.”

implement a cut, and we haven’t re
ceived any guidelines from the Uni
versity,” Fallon said. “It’s clear to me
that a 1 percent cut, which is a severe
cut, is preferable to a hiring or wage
freeze. Those would have wreaked
disaster.
“This is a responsible and sophis
ticated University in regards to bud
getary matters, and I’m sure they
will find a wav to work this out to
minimize the damage to academic
programs,” Fallon said.
Doug Venuti, assistant dean for
administration at the College of
Medicine, said $52,000 of the $11
million medical school budget will
have to be cut from various depart
ments.
“It will be harder for some depart
ments than for others,” Venuti said.
“Some faculty will have to rely more
on their research funds and capital
purchases will have to be curtailed.”
Manson says.
Two reasons For the handbook
are to inform classmates about
the Association of Former Stu
dents and to promote the class
council, she says.
Manson says she hopes the
Class of ‘92 Council will follow
suit and make a senior handbook.
But she says they should have it
ready for next fall, so it can in
clude information on Elephant
Walk and other senior activities.
“We hope we’ve started a tradi
tion with Zip Tips,” she says. “It
represents our commitment to
the class, and we hope the Class
of ‘91 will take advantage of the
remaining 13 weeks and come
out to senior events.”

Cavazos said Hispanics face many
challenges, which continue to slow
their success and education, such as
poor quality schools, the need of En
glish proficiency at an early age, and
lack of parental and family involve
ment.
“Parents are the key to educatio
nal success,” Cavazos said. “Schools
must reach out to parents. Educa
tion is not only for the individual,
but it is education of the entire fami-
Gov. Ann Richards signed the
measure, putting it into immediate
effect Thursday afternoon after the
House and the Senate unanimously
approved it.
The bill, which excludes Social Se
curity, workers’ compensation pay
ments and retirement programs,
also provides for intensive perfor
mance audits of all state agencies
and programs to uncover future sav-
ings.
The spending cuts, which amount
to slightly more than 1 percent for
most state agencies, will help the
state meet a $296 million shortfall
this year.
The Legislature faces an additio
nal shortfall projected at more than
$4 billion for the 1992-93 budget pe
riod and is under a Texas Supreme
Court order to restructure public
education financing by April 1.

Cavazos said the United States
must recognize and acknowledge its
educational deficit.
“The business of America is not
business,” Cavazos said. “The busi
ness of America is education.”
Cavazos was appointed to the of
fice of U.S. Secretary of Education
in September 1988 and resigned in
December.

Texas soldier
dies in tank
during exercise
in California
FORT IRWIN, Calif. (AP) — An
M-551 Sheridan tank rolled over
during a training exercise at this de
sert army base, killing one soldier,
officials said Sunday.
Army 2nd Lt. Michael G. Garrett,
24, of the East Texas town of Hemp
hill, was killed in the 10:41 p.m. Sat
urday accident, said Sgt. Sam Galle
gos.
A platoon leader, Garrett was as
signed to A Company, 1st Battalion,
52nd Infantry, 177th Armored Bri
gade.
He is survived by his parents, Carl
and Bobbie Garrett of Hemphill.
Two other soldiers in the tank
were not injured in the accident,
which occurred about 10 miles
southeast of the main command post
at Fort Irwin, Maj. John Wagstaffe,
said.
Known as the “Opposing Force,”
the brigade serves as an “enemy”
force used to train regular U.S.
ground troops in desert warfare tac
tics such as those now being used in
Operation Desert Storm.
The accident was under investiga
tion, Wagstaffe said.
Fort Irwin is about 125 miles
northeast of Los Angeles.

unity, who will be organized and fo
cused and who always have a thirst
for knowledge,” he said.
Hispanics need to take advantage
of future opportunities and begin
securing better political representa
tion, Pereira said.
“The growth and youth of our
(Hispanic) population is important,”
he said. “But we need to create op
portunities for ourselves.
“We need to start placing our peo
ple in key positions such as acade
mia, private enterprise, government
and elected offices,” he said. “But
these people have to be well edu
cated and even better prepared than
everybody else, so we can build a
good representation for our com
munity.”
Pereira said some political leaders
have taken the Hispanic vote for
granted, but this oversight should
not become a barrier for Hispanics.
“We have to let politicians know
the Hispanic population is large,
varied, growing and extremely im
portant, and the Hispanic vote will
go only to a person who deserves it,”
he said.
