Iraq threatens
violation of
U.N. decision
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq— The speak
er of Iraq's parliament said Tues
day that Baghdad may stop coop
erating with the United Nations
on weapons destruction unless a
dispute over monitoring missile
sites is resolved soon.
If the Iraqi government acts on
that threat, it would be blatantly
violating Gulf War cease-fire ac
cords requiring elimination of
Iraq's nonconventional weapons.
A team of U.N. inspectors
pulled out of Iraq on Monday to
protest Baghdad's refusal to permit
installation of surveillance cameras
at two missile-testing sites. The de
parture of the U.N. team has in
creased fears in Baghdad that the
Gulf War allies might launch a at
tack to force Iraq to comply.
Speaking to The Associated
Press on the eve of an emergency
meeting of the National Assem
bly, Speaker Saadi Mehdi Saleh
said: "It is not in our interest, or
in the interest of the United Na
tions, or in the interest of the re
gion to make the matter reach the
stage of clashes."
"But if dialogue goes on in vain,
we have to take another stand,"
Saleh said through an interpreter.
"Dealing will be difficult between
us and the United Nations because
there will be a feeling inside us of
cruel U.N. injustice."
After the Gulf War coalition
drove Iraq from Kuwait in 1991,
the U.N. Security Council ordered
the destruction of Saddam Hus
sein's ballistic missiles, chemical
and biological arsenals and nuclear
weapons program.

New health books cover homosexuality
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — It's time for high school health
books to "come out of the closet" and deal
with homosexuality, an activist for gay and
lesbian youth told a state committee consider
ing textbooks Tuesday.
"We need to see that we are not alone, that
we are not monsters as the religious right
paints us," said Jonathan M. Bell of Out Youth
Austin. He said he represents such "sexual mi
nority youth" as gays', lesbians, bisexuals and
those who are uncertain about their sexuality.
Some contended that the way textbooks
treat homosexuality could affect hate crimes
and teen-age suicide, saying one study shows
a higher suicide rate among homosexual
youths.
Bell praised two books that are up for state
adoption as handling the subject of homosexu
ality with sensitivity and compassion. But he
said some others ignore it or only mention it as
causing AIDS.
Some others who testified, however, said
that portraying homosexuality as normal pro
motes it or is part of an effort to improperly set
values.
For example, Austin parent Michael
Cochran said, one book up for state adoption
defines "homophobia" as "an irrational fear of
homosexuals," which he said would lead stu
dents to believe that those who oppose homo
sexuality border on being mentally ill.
"The choice of words, teaming 'irrational'
and 'fear/ make the normal people appear ab
normal and the abnormal people appear nor
mal," said Peggy Bower of the Eagle Forum of
Austin.
They testified before a committee that will
recommend health textbooks to the State
Board of Education. Committees on various
subject areas will begin voting on their recom
mendations in August, and the board will act
in November.
The health books from six publishers are
among $140 million worth of textbooks that
are to be considered for state-funded use in
Texas classrooms beginning in the 1994-95
school year. School districts can use textbooks
that aren't on the state list, but they must pay
for them out of local funds unless they get a
waiver.
Paul Lindsey, associate education commis
sioner for school support, said the testimony
about homosexuality was "a pretty typical de
bate" in the sex education area.
"The overall quality, I think, of all the text
books is improved from years past," Lindsey
said.
The textbook adoption process has under
gone intense scrutiny since late 1991, after
numerous errors were found in proposed
U.S. history books. Publishers were fined and
required to make corrections.
Some who testified stressed the impor
tance of students getting complete informa
tion on preventing disease, unwanted preg
nancy and death.
"When making your decision on the health
education textbooks that will take Texas high
school students into the 21st century', remem
ber that 'Denial ain't just a river in Egypt,'"
said Andrea Abel of the National Council of
Jewish Women's Austin section. "It can ruin
the futures of bright, young Texans, and it
can kill."
Publishers have 21 days to respond to
comments.
Investigation
Continued from Page 1
Robert Patterson, a paralegal
for the attorney general's office,
said, "If they think some of the in
formation we said is open is in
fact an educational record, they
can request us to review it again,"
Patterson said. "Anything they
don't have a question about they
should release it."
And, Patterson said, if A&M
thinks the attorney general's opin
ion is wrong, the University can
take them to court.
Patterson said normally a case
doesn't get that far, and once it
does, the courts vary on who they
side with.
When the female cadet first re
ported these incidents Dec. 15 to
the University Police Department,
she said she was raped by the sus
pect in April 1992. She also said
that when she had gone to the sus
pect's room around Nov. 12 to pick
up some papers for a class. He
then tried to kiss her, and she fled
the room. The female cadet did not
report either incident at that time.
The female cadet said she final
ly reported the incident because
she had reason to believe the sus
pect was considering the same
type of harassment toward a fe
male freshman cadet, according to
the UPD incident report.
These allegations of sexual ha
rassment and sexual assault were
first reported in The Battalion on
Jan. 26. The University announced
the next day that a formal adminis
trative hearing would be held to in
vestigate these allegations.
Bob Wiatt, director of the
UPD, said the female cadet in
this case specifically asked that
no criminal charges be filed
against the male cadet.
"She wanted it to be an ad
ministrative case to be handled
by the Commandant (of the
Corps)," he said.
During the investigation, the
suspect was suspended from his
leadership position in the Aggie
Band.
But Corps Commander
Matthew Michaels attended the
hearing and said in a Jan. 29 arti
cle in The Battalion that the male
cadet was suspended because the
two cadets "fraternized," and
there are "strict rules against frat
ernization in the military."
Without the results of the in
vestigation, it is not known if the
female cadet also was penalized
for the "fraternization" or if fur
ther disciplinary action was taken
against the male cadet.
Because the female cadet filed
no formal criminal charges,
records of the hearing and investi
gation are not available.
The Dallas Morning News has
also had encountered trouble get
ting Texas A&M to release docu
ments at the request of the attor
ney general, according to an arti
cle in FOI Focus, a Freedom of In
formation journal.
The News filed suit April 16
against A&M in Travis County
district court "to gain access to
supporting documents given the
NCAA with the school's report on
allegations that Aggie football
players received improper pay
ments from a Dallas booster," ac
cording to the article.
After an attorney general's
opinion stated the information
The News requested was public,
Texas A&M still refused to release
the information.
After the suit was filed, the
newspaper expanded their suit to
ask for a permanent court order
barring a "pattern of consistent
and repetitive abuses of the law"
by A&M.
James Bond, deputy chancellor
and general counsel for A&M,
said he although it sometimes ap
pears A&M delays the release of
public information, this is only a
result of the process of filing an
open records request.
"The attorney general's office
is often slow," Bond said. "We
try to avoid untimely or unfair re
lease when there are valid excep
tions to the open records act."
Bond said precautions are tak
en to avoid the possibility of law
suits against the University.
"The University makes the fi
nal decision and we give them the
best legal advice we can give
them," Bond said. "We're
charged with the duty of protect
ing these students."

Texas A&M for a lot of their local weather information.
"We work closely with the National Weather Service because the
people there often don't have the luxury of going back and analyzing
their data, he said. "They just don't have the time."
NASA is also using Texas A&M's Doppler system in its Tropical
Rainfall Measurement Mission. The goal of their mission is to project
what impact precipitation in the tropics has on global circulation.
Biggerstaff said in addition to these uses, the radar is used extensive
ly by students in their labs.
"It enables them to get hands-on experience using this type of
radar," he said.
The National Weather Service is in the process of switching over to
this type of radar. Students will have the opportunity to be ahead of
other students once they graduate because they already have experi
ence, he said.
The radar was built using funds provided by the state of Texas, Big-
gerstaff said. The use of the system is funded by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Association, the National Science Association and
NASA.
