Six Aggies to make trek to NCAA Indoor Championships
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
A season of hard work has
paid off for six members of the
Texas A&M track team as they
will represent their university at
the NCAA Indoor Championships
March 12-13 in Indianapolis, Ind.
Richard Murphy will run the
55-meter hurdles, while Lee Pool
will participate in the high jump.
The men's 1600-meter relay
team, made up of Stacy Zamzow,
Kiley Anglin, Tracy Bryant and
Danny McCray, will also make
the trip to Indianapolis.
Kalleen Madden is the lone
Lady Aggie going to the Champi
onships, where she will compete
in the high jump.
Murphy is the current South
west Conference Indoor Champi
on at the 55-meter hurdles, and
A&M coach Ted Nelson said that
he hasn't reached top speed yet.
"Richard Murphy has really el
evated himself to a Higher level as
a hurdler this year," Nelson said.
"His times haven't been extremely
fast, but he's ready to do so and
likely will this weekend."
Pool recently set a personal
record of 7-3 in the high jump,
and Nelson said that he can up
the mark only slightly he should
do well at the NCAA meet.
"If he jumps 7-3 again, he'll
definitely finish in the top five,"
Nelson said. "Right now he's tied
for seventh going in."
Nelson said that he thinks that
the 1,600-meter relay team might
be as ^ood as A&M's national
championship team of 1989.
"They feel really confident and
excited since this is the first time
in three years that we've qualified
a relay team indoors. They are
ready to go,"Nelson said.
Madden, the only senior going
to Indianapolis, has won the last
two SWC heptathlon titles, but
will compete only in the high
jump, which she won at the SWC
meet.
"Kalleen is currently ranked
sixth in the high jump and is very
capable of finishing up in the top
three," Nelson said. "A top three
finish would be a great trioute to
her hard work."
Where's the ball?

Chemical engineer second suspect
linked with Trade Center bombing
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, NJ. - A Palestin-
ian-American chemical engineer
was ordered held without bail
Wednesday on a charge of help
ing to bomb the World Trade
Center. He became the second
suspect directly linked to the fatal
blast.
Nidal A. Ayyad, 25, was arrest
ed at his suburban Maplewood
home by an FBI SWAT team. He
was brought before a magistrate
on a complaint charging him with
"aiding and abetting the mali
cious damage and destruction" of
the trade center.
Ayyad, a Kuwaiti-born natu
ralized American citizen, was
linked to Mohammed Salameh,
charged last week with renting
the van used to carry the bomb
that devastated the skyscraper
complex Feb. 26, killing five.
James Esposito, the FBI's spe
cial agent in charge for New Jer
sey, said Ayyad's chemical back
ground was significant, but he
would not say whether Ayyad
was believed to have made the
bomb.
"By his educational back
ground he has expertise that lends
itself to this kind of crime," Es
posito told reporters. "He certain
ly has some expert knowledge be
cause of his training in the chemi
cal engineering field."
Ayyad and Salameh knew each
other for more than a year, Espos
ito said.
Reziq Ayyad, Ayyad's 17-year-
old brother, said during his broth
er's court appearance that Nidal
and Salameh worshiped at the
same mosque, the location of
which he did not specify.
The FBI said Ayyad and
Salameh share a joint bank ac
count, and that Ayyad's business
card was found among Salameh's
personal effects when Salameh
was arrested Thursday. Ayyad
works as a research engineer for
Allied-Signal Inc.
On the day before the bomb
ing, an FBI complaint said,
Salameh was seen making numer
ous trips to a Jersey City storage
warehouse where explosives and
bomb-making materials were later
found. He also was seen making
telephone calls from a pay phone
nearby, and records show four
calls were made from that phone
to Ayyad's line at Allied-Signal,
the complaint said.
Softball team
prepared for
tough stretch
——7-
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
The Texas A&M softball team
faces a busy stretch starting to
day at 5 p.m. when it hosts the
University of Tulsa in a double
header at College Station's Bee
Creek Park.
The double dip is just the start
of the 9-3 Lady Aggies' action, as
they will host the Aggie Invita
tional II March 12-14 in Central
Park.
Tulsa has gotten off to a rough
start in its first softball campaign
in school history, as the Golden
Hurricanes come to College Sta
tion with an 0-4 record. The most
recent losses came Tuesday,
when Tulsa dropped a double-
header to Texas-San Antonio.
Tulsa's other two setbacks came
against Texas-Arlington.
The Golden Hurricanes, who
have a team batting averaged
.214, are led at the plate by
sophomore Krista Burton, who
has an impressive .417 average.
Freshman Kerri Bartholomew is
top hurler for Tulsa with an
earned run average of 2.90.
The Lady Aggies have had a
little more successful start to their
season. A&M went 4-3 in the Ag-
ie Invitational I last weekend,
ighlighted by a 7-2 win over
lOth-ranked Southwestern
Louisiana. The Lady Ags man
aged 10 hits in that contest
against USL pitcher Kyla Hall, a
preseason All-American candi
date.
A&M boasts seven players hit
ting .300 or above, led by out
fielder Dawn Wuthrich and her
.500 average. Wuthrich also
leads the team in hits with 24,
and in runs with 17.
The Lady Ags' rotation has
strengthened as the season has
progressed, now boasting a 1.73
team ERA and five shutouts.
Stopper Kim Gonzalez (7-1) has a
team-best ERA of 1.62, along
with eight complete games and
31 strikeouts. Fellow pitcher
Sharia Cannon (2-2) has an ERA
of 2.03.
Joining A&M and Tulsa in the
Aggie Invitational II this week
end are Creighton, Oklahoma
City University, Indiana, South
west Missouri State and Wash
ington. The first game begins at
5 p.m. Friday.
Referendum
Continued from Page 1
"If this doesn't pass now, we
will have to wait another fiscal
year to try to fund the library,"
Brooks said. "The library needs
help right now."
In other business, the Senate
passed the following motions
and sent them to the administra
tion for further approval:
• Students who take only one
class in the summer will no
longer have to withdraw from
the university to drop the class.
Students can now use a Q-drop,
if needed.
• Graduating seniors will be
able to register early in order to
more easily register for the class
es needed for graduation.
•Student evaluations of teach
ers will be released for students
to read. They will be located in
the Student Counseling Center
along with the teacher grade dis
tribution books.
•Two parking spaces located
in front of the Reveille graves
will be moved in order to show
proper respect to the Reveilles
buried there.
•A committee will be formed
in order to research whether a
different Judicial Board system is
needed at the University so that
groups like the Aggie Band will
have a place to voice their con
cerns.
•After much debate, the Sen
ate passed the Finance Commit
tee's budget recommendations
for the allocation of student ser
vices fees.
King not sure about racial slurs
Cross-examination brings out confusion over epithets, taunts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A weary and confused Rodney
King finished testifying Wednesday about his video
taped beating, repeatedly saying "I'm not sure"
about his earlier claim that police used racial slurs as
they pummeled him.
"I forget a lot of things that happened that night,"
King said as defense attorneys barraged him with a
full day of accusatory cross-examination in the feder
al civil rights trial of four white police officers.
King, who is black, said he didn't mention racial
epithets earlier because shortly after the beating, his
mother told him, "We all know what went on. You
don't need to make it a racial issue."
King, in his first detailed public description of the
March 3, 1991, beating, said Tuesday that officers
taunted him with the word "nigger" as they struck
him with batons. But as cross-examination began late
Tuesday, King said he wasn't sure whether whether
they said "nigger" or "killer."
Asked repeatedly Wednesday whether he was
sure that officers used the racial slur. King said again
and again: "I'm not sure."
"It's not me putting the word 'nigger' in there,"
he added. "I'm not sure. I heard either 'nigger' or
'killer.'"
The four officers sat across the courtroom facing
King as he testified.
Prosecutors hadn't pressed the racial issue in the
trial; U.S. District Judge John G. Davies had ruled
that they don't need to prove that race was a motive
for the beating.
Attorney Harland Braun, the last defense attorney
to question King, accused him of injecting a racial is
sue to gain an advantage in his $50 million civil law
suit against the city. King denied that.
Braun then noted that in a July 1991 interview.
King told Deputy District Attorney Terry White
about the racial slurs but didn't qualify his remarks
by saying he wasn't sure.'
"You realized by then there might be more at
stake than the lawsuit in terms of the rest of society
and the implications if that word were used during
the ^rrest, isn't that right?" asked Braun.
