Tuesday, September 24,1991
Funding dispute causes group to sue
Continued from Page 1
"We don't have money for stu
dent activities or programs," he
said. "We don't have a nice MSC
or Kyle Field for the students like
Texas A&M. We're trying to get
those things because our students
are not exposed to that part of life
that most other students are."
Being part of A&M's massive
system, however, helps. Laredo
State, Corpus Christ! State and
Texas A&l have access to pro
grams - telecommunications, re
search projects, student and facul
ty exchanges, federal grants - they
otherwise might not.
The A&M System also is help
ing the institutions make improve
ments, like making Laredo State
and CCSU four-year universities
by 1994, and building Laredo State
a new campus. System Chancellor
Herb Richardson could not be
reached for comment on other
South Texas initiatives.
With the state in such poor fi
nancial shape, the $4 billion plus
Permanent University Fund re
served for A&M and ITT looks like
a desert oasis to neglected South
Texas universities.
But Furgason and Sayavedra
are not optimistic about their ben
efiting from it anytime soon since
the state Constitution forbids any
other schools from receiving PUF
funds.
"Texas needs UT and A&M to
be the major universities and they
rightly get a lot of money," Furga
son said. "How you fund them
compared to the rest of us is a po
litical question. The funding
source is of less importance to me
than the funding magnitude."
When asked if Laredo State
would like a portion of the PUF,
Sayavedra said, "Who wouldn't?
If you're hungry and you see a big
table of food and someone asks
you if you want some, of course
you will. But for someone to ask
us to eat, something has to change
in the state's laws."
The state Attorney General's
office and MALDEF attorneys re
portedly are negotiating to avoid
Monday's trial date, but no word
on whether a settlement will be
reached. MALDEF representatives
did not return phone calls to The
Battalion.
While many people, including
Sayavedra and Furgason, would
prefer the lawsuit not go through
a lengthy trial, they say their cause
has already been helped.
"The lawsuit has brought the
state an awareness about South
Texas that there are needs that
have not been met in the past and
need to be met soon," Furgason
said.
Mosher official predicts swift attack on Iraq
Continued from Page 1
said. "We are not going to let
them change the terms. If we
compromise, and back away from
our absolute right to inspections,
then they will attempt to renegoti
ate the entire ceasefire agree
ment."
Renegotiations could include
reparations Iraq agreed to pay
Kuwait, and conditions to Iraqi oil
sales.
"Bush has given a resounding
'no' to this sort of renegotiating,"
Hatchett said. "He has the sup
port of the Western powers, and
the U.N. as well in doing so."
Hatchett said the question at
this point is whether or not Sad
dam will call Bush's bluff, as was
the case on Jan. 15.
"We must be prepared to use
force," he said. "But we must de
cide what the limits will be. Are
we prepared to call up the reserve
units and send 60,000 troops? Are
we ready to occupy all or part of
Iraq?"
Hatchett said although the lim
its of force used must still be con
sidered, the decision to use force if
necessary has already been made.
"The President has publicly
committed himself to using force
if the Iraqis will not comply," he
said. "He has no other choice."
Hatchett also said an effort to
remove Saddam from power
might be a futile one.
"If we get rid of him, there is
every possibility he will be re
placed with someone worse than
he ever even thought of being," he
said. "We can't just get rid of our
problems just by shooting up his
Mercedes. It won't change any
thing unless we get rid of the en
tire power structure beneath him."
Large scale military ground ef
forts could be just as difficult.
Hatchett said.
"If we are forced to fight up
the Tigris Valley from town to
town there is the possibility of a
lot of deaths," he said. "Our air-
power advantage will be negated,
and the war could become much
more costly."
Hatchett said such an opera
tion could also prove disastrous to
alliances with Arab nations.
"The sympathies of Arab peo
ples could swing to the Iraqisif
civilian casualties are high, andil
religious centers are destroyed bv
U.N. forces," he said. "That could
cause even greater problems."

Croatian, Serbian forces test cease-fire plan

bian territory before agreeing to
Croatian independence.
Croatia's 4.75 million people
include about 600,000 ethnic
Serbs, many of whom do not want
to live in an independent Croatia.
Serb militants have taken up arms
against Tudjman's government.
The truce signed by Tudjman
and federal Defense Minister
Veljko Kadijevic officially took ef
fect at 3 p.m. Sunday. It was far
from clear whether both sides had
control over forces in the field, or
the will to impose a long-lasting
cease-fire.
The fighting that has claimed
more than 500 lives.
Zagreb radio, monitored earli
er by the British Broadcasting
Corp. in London, said Yugoslav
army tanks were trying to break
through positions Monday at the
village of Dragalic near Nova
Gradiska.
"A real pitched battle is going
on in which the occupying army is
trying to overrun the village with
its tanks and create an open line
toward the north," it said.
Belgrade television in the fed
eral and Serbian capital also re
ported heavy fighting around
Nova Gradiska. Belgrade radio
said two federal soldiers were
killed and two wounded.
Tank-fired grenades and mor
tars bombarded the Croatian bor
der town of Vukovar for 90 min
utes, Associated Press correspon
dent Tony Smith reported.
The shelling came from the
Serbian side of the Danube River
Croatian forces returned fire with
mortars. Smith said. It was not
clear who fired first, but Croatian
media said 12 people were in
jured.
The Croatian coastal townot
Sibenik also came under mortar
attack, Croatian radio said. It said
one person died and four w r ere in
jured.
U.N. investigators reveal Iraqi nuclear program
Continued from Page 1
U.N. helicopter searches. No for
mal council meeting was immedi
ately scheduled.
The Gulf War cease-fire re
quires Iraq to allow the U.N. in
spections, and the Security Coun
cil already was upset over Iraq's
refusal to allow unannounced he
licopter flights to suspected
weapons sites.
"The Security Council resolu
tions that call for inspections are
unconditional," Secretary of State
James A. Baker III said.
"We saw earlier the tragic con
sequences of the failure to comply
with Security Council resolu
tions," he warned, referring to the
U.S.-led campaign that drove Iraqi
troops from Kuwait after Saddam
Hussein refused U.N. orders to
end his occupation of the emirate.
Baker was at the United Na
tions for a speech to the General
Assembly by Bush, who said U.N.
demands that Iraq destroy its nu
clear weapons capability could
not be compromised.
Iraq has denied its nuclear
program is intended to develop
weapons.
Iraq's Foreign Ministry said
the government was not trying to
hide the documents, but insisted
that proper receipts be filled out
for the papers to prevent false
claims from being made about
what is in them.
Its statement was carried by
the Iraqi News Agency.
David Kydd, chief spokesman
of the International Atomic Ener
gy Agency in Vienna, Austria,
said the papers found by the U.N.
experts appeared to confirm for
the first time that Iraq has been
"working on the development of a
(nuclear) weapons capability.”
Bush lobbies for acceptance of Zionism
Continued from Page 1
The State Department's assis
tant secretary for international or
ganizations, John Bolton, told re
porters, "We think we have a ma
jority in favor of repeal."
On Iraq, some advisers had
urged Bush to set a deadline after
which American warplanes would
be used to accompany U.N. in
spectors on helicopter flights in
Iraq.
Bush reworked his speech at
Camp David over the weekend
and tinkered with the section on
Iraq before leaving the White
House on Monday — as Iraqi sol
diers were detaining U.N. inspec
tors who were trying to take nu
clear-weapons documents from a
building in Baghdad.
"We're not going to do any
thing before we understand the
facts," Bush said after his speech.
In Baghdad, the Iraqis released the
inspectors but kept the docu
ments.
Bush also used his visit for a
marathon of diplomatic meetings
at his suite at the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel. He met with the leaders of
Brazil, El Salvador and South Ko
rea and arranged a reception for
all the U.N. heads of state.
Secretary of State James A.
Baker III was conferring with for
eign ministers of Britain, the Sovi
et Union, France and China, pre
sumably solidifying Big Five sup
port for pressure on Iraq.
