"We can't hit students three or four times. Once is enough for anyo ne." Ogden's spokesperson, Rob Giesekie, said the tax bill the House passed around 3 a.m. Tuesday didn't include a tuition increase. He said the Senate would probably favor a slight tu ition increase. A proposed $94 million budget cut for Texas A&M for the 1992- 93 biennum will not stick, Og den said. "The Senate, and most of the House find the cuts unaccept able," he said. "That bill came out of the blue around midnight, and no one could really say how much the cuts were." Ogden said the measure was passed by only six votes, and many representatives who voted for it did not realize the size of the cuts. "House leadership has as sured me A&M and UT will not bear the brunt of the cuts as the amendment implied," Ogden said. Ogden said the amendment, which left A&M and UT should ering 84 percent of the cuts, was ridiculous. "There is no doubt we can change the three or four votes we will need to defeat the amendment if it is seriously con sidered in the future," he said. Dr. E. Dean Gage, A&M pro vost and vice-president for Aca demic Affairs, said the proposed $94 million cut would be absolu tely devastating. "That kind of cut would result in major program and personnel cuts," Gage said. "We hope that cut doesn't transpire. I don't think when the action was taken there was a full knowledge of the figures and their impact on A&M." Gage said A&M administra tors were desperately working to gather support for another Sen ate bill that keeps funding close to the current service level. "We are very anxious to see what happens," Gage said. "The legislative deadline is next Tues day, so a lot has to happen by then. Our goal, and our best hope, is to sustain our current service level of funding. That is the message we are communicat ing to everyone." (WHOA, Lm THE VMEll som em we cur-sm Housing ideas help families Gay-bashing sting Officers attacked Continued from page 1 income families. For example, if houses in a cer tain neighborhood are in need of repair, the entire neighborhood income must have an income lower than 80 percent of the me dian income of the community. Carroll said a family of four's in come would have to be less than $26,100 to meet that criterion. New housing strategies, how ever, will not just help the low income bracket, Macmillan said. Home ownership is declining across the country, and owning a home is a big financial step for anyone, she said. Programs to minimize down payments and interest rates will be a great help to many families, she said. Another meeting is scheduled for mid-September, when priori ties of the plan will be discussed. "The turnout may be bigger, and in the future, it may mean more funding," Carroll said. Explosion harmless HOUSTON (AP) — Three un dercover police officers were at tacked in the first five days of an operation designed to stop gay bashing in a predominantly ho mosexual neighborhood, police said Wednesday. Two adults and several juve niles have been arrested in the assaults. None of the police offi cers was seriously injured. The sting, dubbed. "Operation Vice Versa," began Friday in re sponse to the July 4 beating death of banker Paul Broussard, 27, and attacks on his two com panions. The three men had just left a gay bar when a gang of youths attacked them. Ten young men have been charged with murder in the attack. The department has placed plainclothes police officers in the heavily gay Montrose area to combat criminal activity. Officers have said they travel in pairs and try to look like gay couples to at tract those who have been in volved in gay-bashing. "The plainclothesmen look for people who are exhibiting ag gressive, assaultive behavior against citizens in the neighbor hood," Adamson said. "It's ob vious that the targets aret| community."

Former hostage appeals for aid DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Freed British hostage John McCarthy said he was grateful for his release Thursday and appealed for continuing efforts "to end the ordeal of my fellow hostages." McCarthy, a journalist, was freed after more than five years in captivity and handed over to British authorities at the For eign Ministry in the Syrian capital. "I would like to thank all those people who have done so much on our behalf in the last five years. ... My heart is very grate ful for all those efforts," he told reporters. "I appeal to all those kind people to keep up their efforts to end the ordeal of my fel low hostages," said McCarthy, with a slight " oft stubble of beard and clad in a black T-shirt with white sleeves. He appeared at a crowded press confer ence at the Foreign Ministry. McCarthy, who appeared to be overcome with emotion at several points, broke into a bright smile as he spoke. McCarthy surfaced after a Shiite Moslem group holding Western hostages an nounced he had been freed in Lebanon. The announcement from Islamic Jihad, a pro-Iranian group that holds at least two American hostages, came in a statement to a Western news agency. Islamic Jihad is known to hold Terry An derson, 43, chief Middle East correspondent of The Associated Press and American edu cator Thomas Sutherland, 60. Both were kidnapped in 1985, and Anderson longest-held hostage. A spokeswoman at the British Embai Germany, speaking on condition nymity, said she had been told thatM thy would fly directly from Cyprui Royal Air Force base in Great Britain. Islamic Jihad had said in a state®' leased Tuesday afternoon that it" send a special envoy to U.N. Secretan eral Javier Perez de Cuellar within 4b I in a bid to end the hostage deadlock statement followed an Iranian news! report that two hostages —an America: a Briton — would be released by" end. caU/\merjca "AGGIES SERVING AGGIES " The Aggie Connection Long Distance Sign up at our convenient on-campus locations Aug. 26 - Aug. 30 & Sept. 2 - Sept. 6 Behind the Academic Bldg. • MSC • Other areas POST OAK MALL call America TEXAS 6 BYPASS AT HWY. 30 124 E. 26th.
