AUSTIN — The Legislature's
failure to approve a bill toughen
ing penalties means grave rob
bers can continue looting un
marked Indian burial grounds
and face only minor trespassing
charges or an angry 7 landowner's
shotgun.
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."

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

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.

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."

on campus, but Eta Sigma Gam
ma members are hoping to pre
sent the program to many more
women in the future.
"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.
