what point would you force a woman to carry
her pregnancy to term?
"Under what life and health conditions
would you as the government force her to con
tinue her pregnancy and give birth?
"At what point would you, the government,
say that the woman's fetus she is carrying is
more important to your country than the wom
an herself?"
Nenney said these questions are what peo
ple are trying to settle in a political arena.
She said the government does have a re
sponsibility to insure access for all reproduc
tive choices for all women: information on
birth control, abstinence, early prenatal care,
contraception, adoption, sterilization and abor
tion.
However, providing information is where
the government's responsibility ends, Nenney
said.
People seem to be increasingly afraid of in
formation and of differing viewpoints. If soci
ety imposes a set of fundamentalist conserva
tive values to comfort one group, this country
will lose everything, she said.
Audience members were as polarize: fhursd
their viewpoints as the speakers.

come close, especially in the criti
cal areas of core curriculum, ser
vice courses like English 301 and
courses where our majors are hav
ing problems getting in," he said.
"We may have a shortfall next
year, but it will be spread so it
won't be as drastic as it appears
right now."
Parker said students will find
more classes available in the com
ing weeks as funds are diverted.
The Department of Mathemat
ics was particularly hard hit in the
College of Science, according to
Parker. While officials with the
College of Science were unavail
able, Dr. William Rundell, head of
the math department, said his de
partment will now have a com
plete course offering this summer.
"The provosts office and the
College of Science have come up
with extra funds for a full summer
(math) offering," Rundell said.
"We're going to have a full sum
mer program.
Larry Mitchell, head of the En
glish department, said he is also
pleased with the decision to make
funds available for summer and
coming year.
He said courses will be opened
as the funds are made available to
him.
"It's good news," Mitchell said.
"Most the sections are full right
now, but when we get this money,
more sections will become avail
able. We'll open them pretty much
right away."
According to Mitchell,
more sections available fori
mer school, the better thesituai
will be for the fall and spring.
"The more we can teach in
summer, the less pressuretli
would be in the fall/'hesi
"Anything they can give us wl
well spent."
Parker said the provost'soS
was unwilling to reducethek

Barton speaks to voters about health care plan
Continued from Page 1
does throw out the plan, Brazos County will be
possibly put back together in District 6.
Right now the hot topic on the minds of vot
ers is the reform of Congress, Barton said.
Barton pointed out to the audience that he
was not involved in the recent bank scandal in
the Congress.
"I didn't have any bad checks in the
House," Barton said. "I took accounting at
Texas A&M and I learned that you put money
in the bank before you write checks. I also was
smart enough to let my wife balance our
checkbook."
Barton said he did not vote for the Demo
cratic reform bill that just passed in the House
of Representatives because he felt it did not ad
dress the real problem. The Democratic plan
for reform will create a manager to oversee all
non-legislative and financial activities in the
House.
"The root problem in the House of Repre
sentatives is not that we need a professional
manager," Barton said. "The root problem is
that the system itself has become skewed.
"We need to change the way we do busi
ness, not put somebody with a fancy title in a
big office and call him a professional manag
er," he said.
Barton responded to a question from the au
dience about a limit on congressional cam
paign contributions by saying he would not
support such a limit.
"If you're a banker and you're the best
banker in town, there's no limit on how much
banking you do," Barton said. "I have a prob
lem with you telling me no matter how hard I
work I can only receive so much. That's part of
the American system."
Barton said he would support a limit on the
amount political action committees (PAC)
could contribute.
"Political action committees themselves are
not bad," Barton said. "The problem is that
some congressmen depend almost totally on
PAC contributions. You could limit that
amount to a thousand dollars."
Barton said what causes his constituents in
Brazos County the most concern is the health
care issue.
"One plan is to do away with all private in
surance and all health care will be paid for by
the federal government," Barton said. "I don t
support that plan and the congressmen and
senators that nave supported it haven't done
very well politically."
Barton said the health care proposal that has
gained much popularity with the Democn
leadership in the House of'Representativts
what has oeen called the "Pay or Play” plan
"Businesses either 'play' i.e. provideW
care for their workers, or they 'pay' intoa
tional pool that provides health care," Bai
said. "It doesn't actually do anything to refa
the system."
Barton said he liked the plan supported
President Bush. This plan — sometimes cal
a "voucher system" — would givelow-ira
Americans and Americans without a heal
care plan at their work place a vouchenra
$1,250 per individual or $3,750 per fan#
spend on health care.
"However, the president's plan doesnoi
how he will pay foj: it," Barton said. "Itisin
vative because it empowers people tom
health care decisions for themselves."
Barton said he would prefer a plants
went a step further.
"I would do away with the tax credit to
nesses get and give that credit to peopleandl
them go out and pick the best planfortk
family," he said. "As a federal employee^:
every six months, I get to look at 30orDi|
ferent health care plans and choosethec|
that best fits the needs for my family,
case it has worked very well."
