Brazil's congress impeaches president
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRASILIA, Brazil — Lawmak
ers on Tuesday impeached Fer
nando Collor de Mello, Brazil's
first freely elected president in 29
years. Collor is accused of receiv
ing millions of dollars from a
slush fund run by his former cam
paign treasurer.
Impeachment became certain
after Rep. Paulo Romano cast the
336th vote in favor — meaning
two-thirds of the 503-seat Cham
ber of Deputies had voted to im
peach.
The scandal had paralyzed the
economy of Latin America's
largest nation, which is burdened
by huge foreign debt and is strug
gling to attract foreign invest
ment. Massive anti-Collor rallies
have been held for weeks across
the country, but Collor remained
defiant.
Tens of thousands of anti-Col
lor demonstrators gathered in
front of the congress erupted in
cheers as the vote was announced.
The vote suspends Collor for up
to six months. He will be replaced
by Vice President Itamar Franco
while the Senate decides whether
to remove Collor permanently.
Collor, 43, took office in 1990
amid high hopes of ending politi
cal corruption and economic stag-
nation. Brazil was under militarj
rule from 1964 to 1985.
There had been fears of rioting
if Collor dodged impeachment.
Before the vote, more than
13,000 state and city police fannei
out around the capital inthecity's
largest security buildup. Road
blocks were set up outside Col-
lor's Brasilia mansion to keep pro
testers away.
Radio host Limbaugh tries his hand at television
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Maybe you wouldn't call
Rush Limbaugh the most insightful, entertain
ing, charismatic commentator ever to grace the
airwaves.
But you ought to, or so says Limbaugh and
the legions heeding his conservative clarion
call.
Catch him in his midtown Manhattan office,
and you find a pleasant, heavyset man picking
over newspaper clips while the fax machine
within his easy reach grinds out dispatches.
Duly prepared, he installs himself come
noon in an adjacent studio to agitate his 13
million listeners, more than any other radio
personality.
Then he heads uptown to tape his 3-week-
old syndicated TV show for same-day broad
cast on 187 stations.
'TT1 tell you what's IN the news, and what
to THINK about it," the 41-year-old, twice-di
vorced Limbaugh tells his audience, adding,
tongue-in-cheek, that his talent "is on loan
from God."
Privately he swears that his bombast isa
put-on, but in highly convincing fashion does
he swoop down on nis targets once he gets on
the air, using his self-described "pompous ai
rogance" as a blunt weapon against opposing
forces.
The enemy? Most simply put, it's liberals
and libertines.
Limbaugh long ago termed feminists "femi-
nazis." He has used the sound effect of a vaca
um cleaner while discussing abortions.He
tweaks Spike Lee's new film by referring toils
subject, Malcolm X, as "Malcolm the 10th."
Corps

not change its usual routine at yell
practice.
"We're not going to change our
posture from before," he said.
"We're not going to make it a po
lice-controlled event. We don't
think it's necessary."
Officers are designated to pa
trol the stands and outside Kyle
Field to deal with intoxicated indi
viduals.
"Yell practice is supposed to be
a rambunctious affair," Wiatt said.
"When you get everybody fired
up, there's no way to say things
will not get carried away. We
have arrested drunks and fighters
in the past, but we're talking
about just a handful of occur
rences."
If another incident occurs,
however, Wiatt said more serious
measures will have to be taken.
"If it continues we will have to
take more drastic action that could
curtail yell practice," he said. "All
it takes is a couple of people to
start something, and then you
have chain reactions and then it's
'Here we go again.'"
Koldus said rumors of yell
practice being eliminated are
wrong, but changes could bein
order if problems continue.
"Depending upon what hap
pens, you make changes to accom-
modate the problems that you
have," he said. "There's no ques
tion we will have yell practice as
long as students want it because!
think traditions are perpetuated
by the student body.
"It's a matter of working
through what the problems are.”
Hotels
Continued from Page 1
want that."
Hathout said the two-night policy will not
hurt attendance because many people want to
stay two nights anyway.
"We have regulars who come in every year
(for football games)," Hathout said. "They are
loyal to us, and we are loyal to them. After we
give our customers first option, we will sell the
rest for one night or two.
"If you don't sell two nights you lose. This
is how we keep our employees employed."
Blackenship, however, said most hotels will
have 100 percent occupancy with or without
the two-night minimum, and there is plenty of
year-round business so raising prices has been
unnecessary for Holiday Inn.
"Football weekends are nice, but we have a
very good occupancy," Blackenship said.
"Our occupancy is very high without the foot
ball. It's not like we wouldn't make it without
football."
However, smaller hotels need the higher
rates and higher occupancy of football week
ends to survive slow business periods, said E-
Z Travel front desk manager Rickie Hart. E-Z
Travel raises its rates from $32 to $63 on foot
ball weekends.
"It (football weekends) offsets all the times
we have these rooms sitting empty," Hart said
"It's feast or famine. You have to get it while
it's there."
Hart said E-Z Travel's occupancy can drop
as much as 50 percent during the summer
She said the higher rates of the larger hotels
will not drive away football fans.
"I think they're (larger hotels) pretty secure
with what they can get," she said. "They've
got die-hard fans that come here every year.”
But Linskie warns that A&M fans will only
pay so much.
"They're going to alienate their customers,"
Linskie said, "And people ake going to try to
find ways around it (renting a room)." J

Another popular option is
for students to miss tests be
cause they are out of town at
the time of the test.
Business analysis instruc
tor Anne Dillinger had a stu-
dent who missed a test,
claiming he had to go to a
wedding because he couldn't
refund his plane ticket.
Dillinger said she had a hard
time with this situation, but
she excused the student any
way.
Dr. Gordon Carstens, a
professor in the Department
of Animal Nutrition, had a
situation where, three girls
called him one hour before
the test from Mardi Gras in
New Orleans and said they
were too drunk to come to
College Station to take the
test.
Carstens permitted them
to make up the exam, but he
said they were still hangover
when they took the exam.
Dr. John Boies, a sociology
professor, had two students
, who claimed to miss 10 days
of class because they were
sick in Houston at the same
time.
Boies said that they actual
ly missed 13 weeks of class
and when he asked them
why they hadn't called, the
students said they were too
sick to get to the phone. He
allowed them to make up the
exam, and although they
failed the test, Boies said one
of the students came infer
the last two weeks of class,
and both of them made a 'D'.
Although most students
have a choice as to whether
or not to go to class, one stu
dent said she missed over
half the semester txeeause she
was kidnapped by interna
tional terrorists.
Management professor Dr.
Richard Woodman had a stu-
dent who claimed to have
been held hostage most of the
semester. When Woodman
asked why they let her go she
said they meant to kidnap her
twin sister.
The student told Wood
man she was prepared to
make up her test because the
terrorists had brought her
books; however. Woodman
said she ended up dropping
the course.
