But the plan being considered for Houston, a city known for its extravagant ways, is not exactly a tough diet for local political spendthrifts. Instead, the proposal is a wa tered-down version of some of the tough spending reforms adopted in Tucson, Ariz., and other cities. "The average person thinks we're all for sale," said Houston City Council member Vince Ryan, author of the city proposal. "What I'm trying to do is eradicate the specter of unlimited spending." But even the milder Houston plan has drawn strident opposi tion from private interests who are among those most likely to benefit from the liberal spending limits. They include political ac tion committees that contribute generously to some city cam paigns. The proposal which Ryan worked out with Mayor Bob Lanier earlier this spring, places voluntary spending caps at $2.25 million for mayoral races, $475,000 for city controller and at-large council races, and $175,000 for dis trict council races. Other framers,of Houston's fi nance reform package, including a local branch of the government watchdog group Common Cause, defend the spending limits as a first step in crafting more restric tive guidelines. "I was told that you can get too low, and get the spending limit so low that it protects incumbents," Rozanne McKinney, a lawyer and Common Cause activist, told the Houston Chronicle. "The limits now would cut deeply into what was spent on the last mayoral election, for exam ple," she said. While Lanier spent a record-set ting $3 million to win last fall's election, campaign disclosure re ports show that council members' spending in the period fell short of their proposed future restriction. In 1985, Tucson voters set strict limits on what candidates may spend, and approved an optional payment on their municipal utility bill that goes to a city matching fund for cami 1 as® impaigns. Phoenix officials in recent j imposed voluntary spendinj strictions in line withaven campaign costs, and arenowc sidering going a step further, Rick Naimark, executive to the Phoenix City Council. Caps must be voluntary the U.S. Supreme Court hasrj that laws may not restriclt amount of money a candidi may' spend seeking office. But Phoenix City Counciltt around the prohibition, sider next month authoriii matching campaign funds fort didates who sign a contracttol it their spending. In 1989, New York City ush; in a voluntary finance package that gives limited m; ing funds to candidates fordtj fice who agree to the contrihi: and spending restrictions. reft During Houston council del of Ryan's plan Wednesday, Coq Jonn ~ cilman John Goodner submitt an alternative package drafted political action committeesft are complaining that Ryan's protects incumbents. Concert noise angers Woodlands residents THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Some residents here are all shook up over rock music reverberating through their homes at night. It's not a loud stereo, but the outdoor Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, which has a stage facing two residential sections. Though the pavilion is in an isolated, non- residential area, it was not designed to abate the sounds from frequent rock concerts, held at night, that ripple into some homes as far as three miles away. Pavilion officials say they are doing all they can to tone it down, but some residents say they will believe it when they can not hear it. "We're not trying to shut down the pavilion; we just want them to be considerate of us," Patti Bruxvoort told the Houston Chronicle. "It's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still a problem." Mrs. Bruxvoort was one of 10 residents who filed formal complaint after an October 1991 performance by rocker Tom Petty. Largely because of low cloud cover, the show was so loud that complaint calls flooded the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department switchboard. Deputies say they are powerless to deal with the complaints, noting that trying to tone downacoro would be like trying to control the noise Stadium during a football game. Still, Mrs. Brum sent a written complaint to Justice of the Peaceti Connelly. The county attorney's office declined to am criminal charges, saying the pavilion did not to be violating laws or regulations and suggesi that the complainants consider civil action. Mrs. Bruxvoort said the residents don't have money for a lawsuit. The pavilion named is name for the wife of oik and developer George Mitchell, and the MitcM put up the money for the project and the corporals provided the land. The pavilion is ownedai operated by the non-profit The Woodlands Ceal for the Performing Arts. Kirk Metzger, the pavilion's executive directs said the management responded to complaintss# after the facility opened in 1990 by imposingaa p.m. curfew on concerts and restricting artists to maximum sound level of 102 decibels. Metzger said the pavilion will likely make improvements, amounting to a total investment $50,000, before April. "They'll always say it's the weather orlowdoi cover," said resident Pam Meeks. Corps Continued from Page 1 Matt Daniel, a senior in the Corps, said the Corps Center is a very positive step. "It's going to draw a lot more attention to the Corps," he said. "I think these days with the lower numbers it's going to help recruit ing." look at the Corps and look at our center and look at the tradi tions and what the Corps means to A&M and I think when an in coming freshman comes and looks at this wall that talks about every year he's going to say "I want to be a part of that." Bob Drago, Class of 1949, at tended the opening ceremonies and said the Corps Center will be an asset to help rebuild the Corps. "It's something they've needed for a long time," he said. "I think it really personifies the Corps and it will help with recruitment." Clinton takes break, hopes to debate Bush THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Bill Clinton plans to show up for a presidential campaign debate in East Lansing, Mich., next week, even though his campaign has "not heard word one" from the Bush camp, a Clinton aide said Sunday. "I think we're seeing a stonewall on debates from the Republican side," said Clinton's communications director, George Stephanopoulos. "They are trying to delay, they are trying to hold the president back. I don't think they're eager to have him go out there an defend his economic record." "We have not heard word one from the Republicans," Stephanopolous said. The president isn't sayinf whether he will debate Clinton next week, said Bush campaigi spokeswoman Torie Clark. "We just aren't talking it," she said. "There willbedo bates and it will all be world out in due time." Ms. Clark said Clinton was itf ing the debate to divert attention away from Clinton's draft status during the Vietnam War,’ has become a contentious cam paign issue. "They're trying everythin! possible to get attention off that," she said. "It is a serious vulnerability." Clinton, meanwhile, took his family to the movies and attend ed a church service.
