HOUSTON — Branch Davidi- an cult leader David Koresh was obsessed with rock star Madonna and even entertained vague plans to kill her, according to a pub lished report Tuesday. Koresh also had a so-called "hit list" of 10 or more people who had defected from the cult, the Houston Chronicle said in a copyright story. Geoffrey Hossack, a private in vestigator, said those who had been in the sect told him Koresh had a fixation on Madonna that graduated from obsessive desire I to wanting to kill her. Hossack, who took affidavits I from a number of cult members and compiled data on Koresh for several months, said he learned that Koresh had decided that, "if he couldn't have Madonna, no man would." The "hit list" was never known to have been in written form, but Koresh referred to it during "Bible studies" and in private. The list primarily targeted a group of Australians who became concerned in 1989 that Koresh was planning to sacrifice a child. In 1990, the Australians hired Hossack in an unsuccessful at tempt to convince U.S. authorities the cult was dangerous. No children are known to have died at the hands of the Branch Davidians until an April 19 fire devoured the rural compound outside Waco. Koresh and dozens of followers, including 17 chil dren, died either by fire or gun fire. Women things that go unnoticed and will make a dif ference in the end."

"We have programs specifically tuned to women and minority recruiting and reten tion/' Watson said. "We're being as proactive as we can." A student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers is active on campus. The engineering department also sponsors summer conferences in which junior high and high school students can learn about the op portunities available to women in engineer ing, Watson said. Watson said they also discuss engineering with incoming freshmen in an effort to attract women to the College of Engineering. Bonne Bejarano-Sandars, coordinator of Student Life Orientation and chairperson of the gender issues committee, said she tries to use inclusive language and urges her orienta tion leaders to do the same. "We refer to new students as men and women and not guys and girls," Bejarano- Sandars said. "But I can't guarantee all the But Bejarano-Sandars said students already have opinions on gender issues that are diffi cult to alter when they come to A&M. "Before we ever get the new student, they have already been trained to go into a gender- specific career," Bejarano-Sandars said. But Bejarano-Sandars said slje does what she can to be sensitive to gender issues. "In my little piece of the pie, I try to be as inclusive and sensitive as possible/' Bejarano- Sandars said "I don't think it's because we don't recruit women, it's that they are not interested in these fields yet." -Dr. John Koldus, VP. for Student Services For Rent College Court Apartments 3300 South College Avenue 2bdrms, excellent location, utilities partially paid, microwaves, dishwashers, pool, shuttle, health club. $419 823-7039 orientation leaders will do these things.' Bejarano-Sandars said even though calling someone a woman instead of a girl seems like a small difference, it can do much to improve the atmosphere. "These little things set a tone," Bejarano- Sandars said. "It's real easy to police yourself on the big things, but often it's the little Watson said getting new students interest ed in engineering will help attract women to the field. "If you look across the United States, we're higher (in numbers of women engineering students) than the rest of the nation/'Watson said. "It looks like the number of women in the College of Engineering is going up/' Watson said A&M has done a better job re cently in recruiting women to the College of Engineering. "In the last three years we've seen the per centages of women in the College of Engine ing continuing to go up," she said - uation rate of women in engineering is up as well." Dr. John Koldus, vice president for Studs: Services, said the University has been asse ing its needs in the area of women's issui and will try to spend more time, money effort on it. But Koldus said women are still choosii careers they were socialized to choose. " Women are still conditioned by their pui lie school experiences not to look towaii places like the College of Engineerin Koldus said. "I don't think we've gotten thi message across to women yet." Koldus said A&M does its best to recrui women for male dominated fields. "I don't think it's because we don't recrui women," Koldus said. "It's that they are interested in these fields yet." Van Hightower agreed, but said intensivi recruiting would help attract more women If these fields. "Women have a sense of where they be long and where they don't in every college she said. "A lot of this starts at an early age" Watson said the number of women choos ing engineering as their career would bly increase if there were more women in the field to serve as role models. "The number of women with Ph.D.s isven small," Watson said. "We're not graduating enough women." Watson said A&M is not the only universi ty dealing with this disparity. "This is a nationwide issue," she said. POSTAL JOBS AVAILABLE! Many positions. Great benefits. Call (800) 338-3388. Ext. P-3332. One bedroom apartment, efficiency, close to campus, bills paid, $265.

Robert Duncan (R- Lubbock), said his office was orig inally opposed to the bill because I it would split the representation | of single-campus schools. After I the bill was amended to make stu- I dent body presidents eligible for I the position, Duncan felt it was supportable, he said. Wilson said nearly 30 bills died because of the legislative deadline and felt it was because of timing rather than active blocking that the Student Regent Bill did not pass. Texas A&M Regent Alison Le- land Briscoe said there are a lot of competing interest groups that would like to have a seat on the board. This concern was voiced by other legislators who worry that if students gain a seat, other factions would demand representation. "I think it would be a great op portunity for a student to learn and contribute to the work the re gents do," she said. "On the other hand, we have seven institutions, so the person would have to rep resent them also." Briscoe said she thinks commu nication with students is always important, and a year-long term would be enough time for a repre sentative to make a contribution.

"It's something we would have to work on," she said. Jeff Clark, an assistant to Rep. Bob Hunter (R-Abilene), who ab stained from voting on the bill, said regent meetings are already open to the public, and a student regent position would be "just one more hurdle to the administration staff as they work with changing policy." "The avenues for communica tion are already there," Clark said. "He [Hunter] felt this would be an unnecessary move at this time." There are enough ways to rep resent students, he said, including student government which has that as its primary purpose. Walker said student govern ment will continue to work to ward the creation of a student re gent position and will attempt to re-introduce the subject if the gov ernor calls a special session later this year.
