Officials discuss campaign limit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — City officials are
considering a plan to curb cam
paign spending.
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

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.
