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.

attracting women to the field.
"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."

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.

representative would be excluded
i from closed meetings.
Porter Wilson, a legislative as
sistant for Rep. 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.

Briscoe said she thinks other re
gents would react to a student re
gent as something new for Texas.
"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.

Officials in the University De

this was Xu's first semester at
A&M. He did his undergraduate
work in China. Xu was also a
member of the China Club at
A&M.
Joanne Smith, who worked
with Xu, said he was in the Unit
ed States alone.
"His wife and four-year-old
child were coming here to live
with him on June 16 and stay
with him until he finished his
Ph.D.," Smith said. "But they are
not going to come now."

donations to cover the expenses
of the funeral and the shipment of
his remains to his family in Chi
