Page 6 The Battalion Monday, February 18,1991 School board members turn against district DALLAS (AP) — Two school board members have been working on behalf of plaintiffs in a federal desegregation lawsuit against the Dallas Independent School District, an attorney said. and Yvonne Ewell, both black board members. Attorney E. Brice Cunningham billed the DISD $67,022 for three years of work, including more than $4,000 for telephone conferences and meetings with Kathlyn Gilliam Cunningham represents the Black Coalition to Maximize Education. The school board agreed to pay Cunningham’s bill but some board members protested. “How can a board member sit in executive session and listen to the strategy of the school board and then turn around and work with an outside attorney to oppose the board strategy?” asked board member Ed Grant. But Gilliam said she doesn’t plan to limit her conferences with Cun ningham, whom she described as an important legal voice for the black community. “It will not change,” said Gilliam. “I personally intend to contact Mr. Cunningham whenever I jolly well please.” Ewell confirmed Sunday that the attorney’s fee was paid, but it was for work done some time ago. “What I am most disgusted about is that it appears from this that we had lengthy discussion during board meetings,” she said. “But that did not happen. We have not had any discussion at board meetings re cently about Mr. Cunningham’s fees.” The Battalion Classified Ads Phone: 845-0569 / Office: English Annex Canadians brave heat in first wave of Break mayhem Help Wanted THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT at TAMU is conducting research on group dynamics and needs participants.

Roommate Wanted SOUTH PADRE ISLAND (AP) — The way Michael Braun saw it, his group of 90 Canadians who braved a 36-hour bus ride from Winnipeg, Manitoba, represented the vanguard of spring break 1991. “We set the standards for the next groups to come here,” the 22-year- old University of Manitoba student said last week lounging pool-side at Gulfpoint condominiums. He had just watched eight other Canadians drink themselves sick in a whiskey-guzzling “Southern Com fort relay” in and around the swim ming pool. “The police are going to gauge ev erybody else by us,” said Braun, a generous dose of fluorescent red sun screen across his equally red nose. They were the first wave of an ex pected 200,000-250,000 students to last year in Daytona Beach, Fla. The educational effort is sponsored by a Costa Mesa, Calif.-based group called Beer Drinkers of America. Officials will distribute literature and provide activities, including a sandcastle-building contest, in an at tempt to keep the spring breakers from overindulging. The first wave of Canadians, how ever, had not heard of Party Smart last week. “In between drinking, we do other things,” said JoAnne St. Go dard, a 20-year-old physical educa tion major, who appeared com pletely sober. Some of the students did not drink at all, and said they found the heavy alcohol consumption repul sive. “That’s why we came out here to Southwood Valley large house. 3B/2Ba, yard, pets. $167/ mo. «■ utiUtlea.

It remains to be seen, of course, whether any thing can come of this session.” Scowcroft, appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” said past Soviet attempts to help Saddam Hussein engineer an “elusive withdrawal with dignity” had ended in failure. “He cannot be rewarded for the terrible things that he has perpe trated in the gulf,” Scowcroft said. Bush’s day began in church, where the service was disrupted by a man who demanded an end to the bombing of Iraq and the deaths of ci vilians there. Bush made no response at the time but told reporters later in the day: “I am concerned about the suf fering of innocents and I’m talking about the innocents in Kuwait, too.” “I hope we can get an end to that suffering very, very soon. I think we will,” he said. Neither Bush nor others in the administration would confirm a statement by French Foreign Min ister Roland Dumas that a date had been set for the start of the ground war and that it was close at hand. Soldiers’ mothers take Monday, matters into own hands MASH tries reason with Iraqi CHANDLER, Okla. (AP) — Anne Cornelsen couldn’t go to the war front in Saudi Arabia. So she declared war from her home. Since her son’s Oklahoma City- based Marine unit was activated in November, Cornelsen has founded a group called Mothers Against Saddam Hussein, or MASH. In November, Cornelsen an swered the phone and received "the most devastating call I ever got.” The Marines couldn’t reach her son, Robert Dowell, by phone, so they called her. She was told her son’s unit was to leave for Saudi Arabia Nov. 20. “Mothers of these boys are going to have to do something about this man,” Cornelsen said of Iraqijfcader Saddam Hussein. After . her son was activated, Cornelsen talked lo local military people about forming Mothers Against Saddam Hussein, and they encouraged her to go ahead with it. At first, Cornelsen hoped a group of moms could try to rea son with the Iraqi leader to end the conflict. Seventy-three letters from mothers of soldiers were pre pared, but there was no way to get them to Baghdad. Thev WPrp sent to the Iraqi embassy in Wash ington instead. There has been no reply. Cornelsen believes that some one, somewhere read the letters, but it made no difference. “I thought we could plead with him to correct a huge mistake, I thought that since he has children he would have to have a humane side.” She has changed her mind now and thinks Hussein should be taken alive and punished for “horrendous crimes and atroci ties.” Cornelsen turned her attention from trying to influence Hussein to showing support for troops in the region ana organizing sup port for families left at home. She started taking long rolls of paper to shopping malls in Okla- noma and Texas to gather signa tures and messages to make "sup- port-o-grams.” “Some mothers who saw ii were crying so hard they couldn't talk,” she says. One support-o-gram signed by shoppers over two days in Dallas was 1,175 feet long. con forn card L Study finds abused children have depression, low IQs things. I can te razy thi [et has :ards.

The study goes beyond earlier work showing that abused children were 53 percent more likely to be ar rested as juveniles and 38 percent more likely to be arrested for a vio lent crime, said the study’s author, Cathy Spatz Widom of the State Uni versity of New York at Albany. “The harm to children from abuse and neglect may have enc; mous long-term consequences,"!! said Saturday at the annual meetit o j 1990 of the American Association for if pj Advancement of Science “Other negative outcomes may more common than delinquencyai violent criminal behavior,” she said Similar findings were reported: Byron Fgeland of the University Minnesota, who compared 23 ph'- cally abused children with 75 MIL h children who were not abused Parade.

Samsill said the non-profit or ganization is called to do this type of search five or six times a year. Samsill related the difficulty of searching the Brazos River. “Take a pen, walk into your liv ing room and throw it,” he said. “With your eyes closed and the lights off, try to find it.” Miller said if Sharpe is in the river, the sheriffs department does not know where he entered, and even if it did, the heavy rains could have carried his body down stream. Samsill said in addition to not having any clues as to where the body might be, the speed of the flowing river and the inability to see underwater also hampered the search. “In this river you can put your hand on your mask and not see your hand,” he said. Samsill said even when the dogs pinpoint where a body is, it some times takes divers hours to find it, Miller said if further searches fail, the University Police Depart ment is working with an A&M ge ophysics professor to try to search the river with a mobile sonar de vice. “And if that doesn’t work, well just stay on the river until we find him,” Miller said. He said other counties along the Brazos River have been noli fied of Sharpe’s disappearance. :0 ROSENTHAL MEAT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SCIENCE =r 3L- FLY FOR LESS AS A COURIERI Major Airline.
