Page 6 The Battalion Activist asks utility commissioner to resign s P ade ph|| *ips, P i AUSTIN (AP) — A consumer activist called for Public Utility Commissioner Paul Meek's resig nation or ouster Wednesday, after a flap as the PUC looked at a pro posal to delete a utility reporting requirement on lobbying expens es. Meek, who has previously been targeted by callers asking for his resignation, said he will not step down. The PUC voted 2-1 to publish for public comment the proposed rule change, which would elimi nate a requirement that electric and telephone companies detail annually at the PUC their spend ing on lobbying, business gifts and entertainment, dues, advertis ing and charitable contributions. Meek said in an interview a primary reason behind the pro posal is to ensure there is no du plication in information that utili ties must file. But the proposed rule change, which will be published in the Texas Register for 30 days, has drawn concern from consumer representatives. But, according to reports, a number of utilities have not complied with the rule. Meek said a 1980 PUC execu tive director's letter said the com panies did not have to report. At a PUC meeting. Meek got into a tangle with Tim Curtis, ex ecutive director of Texas Citizen Action. Curtis criticized PUC Ex ecutive Director Jim Crouch and Guillermo Garcia, PUC public in formation director, saying that they had not given the press a complete account of the proposed change. Garcia had no comment on the matter, and Crouch did not return a call from The Associated Press. ''No public servant deserves this kind of treatment," Curtis said. And he said that Meek de clared, when Curtis sought to ad dress the commission, that "this is my (Meek's) commission." Program gives campus life insight Continued from Page 2 Dixie Chicken playing dominoes and pool seems to be a favorite with the group each year. Other events, such as a trip to Messina Hof Wine Cellars, dinner in the Kyle Field Press Box and a special A&M Traditions Program have been part of AggieHostel in the past. The last day of AggieHostel is dtn , celebrated with a graduation cere mony and reception, where stu dents receive their diplomas for completing the program. "AggieHostel is one of the greatest programs I've been in volved with at Texas A&M," Gar ner said. "It's beneficial to the Ag- gieHostelers, and to the student volunteers." A&M has had almost 300 se nior participants in the program since its beginning, according to Garner. He said the oldest partici pant was almost 90 years old. Elmer Calvin, class of 1924, at tended A&M's second AggieHos tel. Briscoe said they will be look ing for outgoing students who love being Aggies and are familiar with campus activities. Applications for AggieHostel volunteers can be picked up at the Alumni Center and are due this Friday, April 3.

"Dr. Margaret Bean-Bayog talked about her erotic sexual feelings toward a Mexican- American medical student," said the affidavit, filed in Mid dlesex Superior Court on Wednesday by Cambridge psy chotherapist Amy Stromsten. "Dr. Bean-Bayog described how powerful and strong her feel ings were toward Paul Lozano in great length." Lozano, 28, a Harvard medi cal student, sought counseling with Bean-Bayog for depression from 1986 to 1990. His family contends Bean-Bayog lured him into a sexual relationship and that he committed suicide in April 1991 after she ended their therapy. Lozano's family in El Paso has filed malpractice and wrongful death suits against Bean-Bayog. Bean-Bayog has denied hav ing sex with Lozano or mistreat ing him, and said his death was accidental. She also said she never devi ated from established medical practices in treating Lozano, who she described as severely mentally ill. In a statement issued Wednesday, she said: "I contin ue to have my reputation raped by the calculated actions of peo ple who have a financial inter est in distorting the truth to their advantage. No male thera pist has ever been the subject of such an assault. "I deny that I had sexual re lations with Mr. Lozano and I do not believe that Ms. Strom sten has any basis for an ade quate assessment of Mr. Lozano's character, mental con dition or the truthfulness of his statement." The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine ruled Tuesday that Bean-Bayog had engaged in "substandard care," but did not suspend her license pending further investigation. That, said Stromsten, prompted her to act.
