Page 4 The Battalion Wednesday, April 22, Restaurants await Supreme Court decision Spade Phillips, P.l. by Matt Kowals WASHINGTON (AP) - Can a taco and burrito fast-food restau rant chain prevent a copycat com petitor from duplicating its design and the bright interior colors and neon-striped exteriors that add up to a festive, sun-splashed atmo sphere? That is the question the Sup reme Court must decide in a Texas case that could have a broad im pact beyond the Mexican food business. Experts say the high court's ruling could affect federal trademark law and intellectual property rights in areas such as computer software. The court Tuesday heard oral arguments in a case pitting two Texas-based Mexican restaurant chains against each other — Taco Cabana International versus Two Pesos Inc. A ruling is expected by June. Not in dispute is that Hous ton-based Two Pesos borrowed heavily from Taco Cabana in cre ating the layout and appearance of its restaurants. Taco Cabana, based in San Antonio, was first on the scene, starting in 1978. Two Pesos was begun seven years later by the founder of the Chi-Chi's restaurant chain and a former Chi-Chi's executive. They expanded rapidly in and out of Texas — but not into the home turf of Taco Cabana. The dueling food emporiums are competing head-to-head in several markets, including Hous ton, Dallas and El Paso. Taco Cabana filed suit in dis trict court in Houston in 1987, winning its claim that Two Pesos illegally copied its distinctive restaurant motif, legally known as "trade dress."

Byron had already received several awards for his ef forts to help the people of South Vietnam. On Sunday, Aug. 23, 1964, The Birmingham News' front page headlined "Four Stood Ground, Died in Viet Ambush." The following paragraphs are condensed from Peter Arnett's original Associated Press story: The last time anyone remembers seeing him, Capt. Byron Stone was blasting a Browning automatic rifle into the coconut trees. First Lt. William D.H. Ragin had grabbed a machine gun from a dead Vietnamese crew and was firing point blank at about 60 advancing Viet Cong guer rillas who, a few minutes earlier, had been mistaken for government rein forcements. Sgt. Tom Ward was facing destiny somewhere further away with a Ranger company he was advising. And First Lt. James Coyle was pump ing bullets at the enemy with a car bine. Then a bullet spun Coyle to the ground. Stone, who was nearby, ap peared to be about to run to his aid. The Viet Cong also started moving in and Coyle picked up his carbine again and started firing. That was the last anyone could re member of four Americans caught Thursday evening in probably the bloodiest 60 minutes of fighting in South Vietnam this year. They apparently stood their ground zvhile death and confusion prevailed around them. But they too were to die in the Communist ambush that overwhelmed and routed a gov ernment Ranger and infantry unit and inflicted 206 casualties. The last time Maj. James McK- night saw Stone was March 1964, when he left Quang-Tri, South Vietnam. In February 1965 McK- night, who had been Byron's com manding officer since March 1963, presented the Distinguished Ser vice Cross — one of the nation's highest military honors — to Stone's parents. The citation accompanying the medal reads: "Undaunted by ex tremely heavy enemy gunfire, Capt. Stone completely disregard ed his own safety and bravely ex posed himself to the full force of violent enemy attack to cover the withdrawal of friendly troops. "He demonstrated fortitude and perseverance by holding^ position for one hour and 40® utes while annihilating a number of enemy troops. Despi the overwhelming onslaught,Is covered the withdrawal of lls friendly forces with outstandinj effectiveness and continuedlf courageous efforts until mortal wounded. "Capt. Stone's conspicuousg
