The primary sticking point that stalled legislative negotia tions was whether and how to repatriate or return to family members, tribes or ethnic organi zations the remains and sacred funeral objects unearthed by loot ers and archaeologists, the Austin American-Statesman reported Monday. "These are our people. We don't understand why we can't have our people back," said Shiloh Perkins of the American Indian Resource and Education Coalition. Archaeologists say some loot ers make $100,000 a year selling skulls and pots that were buried with the remains. One East Texas collector is said to have 25,000 pots taken from the graves of 1,200 Caddo Indians of East Texas. For Native Americans, remov ing burial objects is as sacrile gious as disturbing the bodies. "It's a spiritual matter with us," said Diana Ramos of the ed ucation coalition. "The spirit cannot rest," said Elaine Childers, a coalition mem ber and an anthropologist at Southwest Texas State University. Presently, Childers said, "The only recourse landowners have is trespassing laws."

BioLogica Research Group, Inc. 776-0400 WASHINGTON — The super collider ranks as one of Congress' most controversial projects in the best of times. Its future may be even more complicated now that the giant atom smasher and a sister science project. Space Station Freedom, have been sucked into the vortex of Texas politics. Just two days after Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison trounced Democrat Bob Krueger at the polls, opponents were citing her message of spending cuts over tax increases as consis tent with their campaign to kill both high-dol- lar programs. "I think that Sen.-elect Hutchison is right," said Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan., a leading collid er opponent. "We need to cut some of this un necessary spending." Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, heretofore a collider and space station supporter, hinted Sunday that Hutchison's victory could endan ger them. The New York Democrat, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said the nation "can't afford" the super collider. "It's a great idea for the next century," he said on ABC's "This Week With David Brinkley." "And a space station never was a great idea in the first place," Moynihan added. A Moynihan spokesman didn't immediate ly respond Monday when asked whether the senator will vote against both projects later this month. "I think that Sen.-elect Hutchison is right...we need to cut some ot this unnecessary spending." -Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, called Moyni- han's comments "typically partisan bravado." He also sought to minimize the impact of Hutchison's victory on the future of both pro jects. "Nobody cares enough about anybody else to have it sway their vote on these big is sues," he said Monday. "I think that's all over stated." "It would have been a problem no matter what happened in the election," Gramm said, noting that the House voted last year to kill the collider. The Senate later reversed the action. The collider, now pegged at $10 billion, ap pears to be in greater peril because it is more closely linked to Texas in the minds of law makers — a belief Hutchison already is work ing to counter. "This is very important for the whole world. It's not just a Texas project," she said Monday on the Fox "Morning News." For Slattery, the bottom line is spending - not geography. And, he added, "As far as I'm concerned, the election in Texas has strength ened the hand of the group in the Congress that has been trying to kill the super collider.'' "I sure hope she'll vote with us," he said. That's something Hutchison is unlikely to do, since she voiced support for both projects during the campaign. As the senator-elect made the round of net work news shows Monday morning, she was repeatedly asked whether Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill would seek to kill either project in retaliation for her victory. "No, I don't think so," Hutchison said on NBC's "Today" show. "I think everyone in Washington, members of Congress as well as the president, understands elections. And I don't think there's going to be petty partisan politics." Clinton announces Supreme Court finalists Court THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and feder al judges from Boston and Nashville, Tenn., are President Clinton's finalists for the upcom ing vacancy on the Supreme Court, administration officials said Monday. The White House denied ram pant speculation that Clinton had settled on Babbitt, saying the pres ident will not make his pick be fore the end of the week. "Stay tuned," Clinton said. "I have not made a decision yet, but I'm working on it." A senior administration official said Clinton's short list consists of the two moderate judges, Stephen Breyer of Boston and Gilbert Mer ritt of Nashville, and Babbitt, an HIGHLY IMPORTANT AUCTION WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9 7:00 p.m. Preview One Hour Prior old friend. "It's not down to Babbitt," the official said. "It's down to Babbitt, Merritt and Breyer." The official and several other aides to Clinton cautioned that the president's decision-making process is fluid and he could devi ate from the short list. Assumptions that Babbitt had the inside track were fueled by talk at the Interior Department, where some aides said they ex pected their boss would get the nod. Bonnie Cohen, assistant Inte rior secretary for policy, manage ment and budget, said Babbitt, "is a very serious contender," but that she had no knowledge of an offer being made to him. White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers suggested that aides who said Babbitt was all but in were, "speaking from their heart, which is understandable." Officials said Breyer remains a strong candidate. Merritt was -in Washington on Monday but did not speak with Clinton. Officials said Merritt was at the Robert F. Kennedy memori al and reception Sunday. Clinton has known Merritt since both worked on George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign. Clinton could still turn to fed eral judges Ruth Bader Ginsburg of Washington or Stephanie Sey mour of Tulsa, Okla., to replace retiring Justice Byron White. Oth er possibilities include federal judges Jon O. Newman of Con necticut and Jose Cabranes of Connecticut. "There is more than one candi date at play here," Myers said. Some lawmakers and adminis tration officials were concerned with Babbitt's lack of experience on the bench. Environmentalists were upset at the thought of losing an advo cate at the Interior. Merritt, 57, is chief justice of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap peals. His 1,000 opinions include one striking down a requirement by the city of Youngstown, Ohio, that abortion clinics be outfitted with costly medical equipment. Continued from Page 1 But no such agreement existed between the two lawyers over the graduation-prayers case from Texas, one that rekindled a na tional debate. The high court's action "makes it clear that students do have the right to include prayer at their graduation ceremonies," Sekulow said. But the ACLU's Shapiro said, "You can't read too much into the denial of (review). We remain ab solutely convinced that such prayers already have been banned by the Supreme Court."

"The more women we can reach, the better," Kelly said. Although the risk of breast cancer to college-age women is relatively low, it increases signifi cantly with age. Dr. Brian Col well, assistant professor of health education said. "Women are not considered to be in a high-risk group until they reach their late 20's and early 30's," he said. "What is impor tant right now is awareness. Women need to realize that it can happen to them, and take the ap propriate action to protect them selves, and that includes not only self examinations, but yearly clin ical check-ups as well," Colwell said.
