Thursday, April 18,1991 The Battalion Wardens seek killer of crane BEND (AP) — Game wardens investigated Wednesday the shooting death of an endangered whooping crane and searched for a second whooping crane they say also may have been shot. Agents with the Texas Depart ment of Parks and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice were conducting the investi gation. One of the large birds was shot and killed Monday and was found buried near the Colorado River in west Lampasas County near the community of Bend, au thorities said. The adult bird ap parently was shot in the neck with a .22-caliber rifle, officials said. Texas game warden Jack Rey nolds of San Saba, who was tipped about the shooting, said he questioned a man suspected of being involved. No charges have been filed. "Since whooping cranes are both state and federally pro tected as endangered species, the decision on where the charges will be filed will be de cided later," said Chester Bur- dett, law enforcement division director with the state wildlife department. Another whooping crane also may have been snot in this Cen tral Texas area, and wildlife agents were searching for that bird, officials said.

"Tue siuemce) OF THE COW, r Senate bill provides public 'potty parity' Nerd House by Tom A. Madison AUSTIN (AP) — A bill offering relief to women who now have to wait in long lines to use res trooms cleared the Senate on Wednesday, after its sponsor ad monished his colleagues that such delays are no laughing mat ter. The measure has been widely publicized as the "potty parity" bill, but senators resisted any temptations to make jokes in sending it to the House on voice vote. "I became aware of the need for a measure such as this when I read about a Houston woman who had been arrested during a George Strait concert for using the men's restroom, after she was confronted by a long line to the women's facility," bill spon sor Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Aus- tin, said. Houston legal secretary Den ise Wells was kicked out of the Houston concert but won in court against a city ordinance prohibiting a person from enter ing a public restroom of the op posite sex "in a manner calcu lated to cause a disturbance." Sen. Barrientos' bill would re quire publicly and privately owned facilities to provide suffi cient restrooms during peak hours. Specifically, the state Board of Health would be required to adopt a rule that at least two women's toilets be provided for every man's commode in "facili ties where the public congrega tes." "What I'm trying to get at is big arenas — stadiums, conven tion centers where thousands of people congregate and there are hundreds of people in line wait ing to use facilities," Barrientos said. P/CASSo's ONLi FAILURE. Expert: Copyright ruling will not affect classroom Continued from page 1 copyrighted work. Dr. Don Tomlinson, an as sistant professor of journalism and attorney who specializes in media law, said the ruling should not be considered a landmark decision because of the scope of the ruling. He said because the case was at the federal trial-court level, the ruling will have le gal meaning only in that fed eral district of New York. He said copy centers, how ever, might follow the ruling pending the outcome of the case's appeal. Foss said Kinko's has not decided whether to appeal the decision. Tomlinson said Kinko's might not appeal the case be cause another loss would widen the scope of the ruling. The copying company also does not have grounds for an appeal that has a good chance at winning, he said. "The decision by this fed eral judge is unequivocal," Tomlinson said. "Kinko's didn't just lose — it totally lost." 764-2975 Behind Appletree EATERIES CANTINA' Come party on our patio l Patio drink specials anytime on the patio only Drafts $1.00 Frozen Margs $1.50 Patio Punch $1.50 Free Food Bar 9p.m.-Close Sun.-Thur.

(Limited to parties of 8 or less) He said if Kinko's does not appeal, the ruling could be come a de facto ruling nation wide. Carol Risher, director of copyright for the Association of American Publishers, said publishing companies are ecstatic about the decision. "We hope it will end the il legal copying of anthologies," she said. However, the court's deci sion will not hamper class room education. It will only change the processes by which companies make pho tocopies of copyrighted works, Risher said. Tomlinson agreed, saying students and faculty will not see much difference in copy ing procedures. Tomlinson stressed that professors still have the right to fair use of educational material. The Association of Ameri can Publishers in Washing ton, D.C., is a trade associa tion representing book publishers. It coordinated the lawsuit on behalf of the named plaintiffs. As a result of losing the rul ing, Kinko's was ordered to pay $510,000 in statutory damages and attorney's fees. TEXAS HART ©E FAME Your #1 Uve Country Night Spot! Thurs.
