Worst flooding over in St. Louis area
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The Mississippi
apparently has struck its worst
blow to St. Louis and rolled on.
Even as the river recedes, the peo
ple here aren't ready to believe
their ordeal is nearing an end.
The largest metropolitan area
threatened in six weeks of Mid
western flooding escaped the pre
dicted collision of record crests of
the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers Monday, but residents have
seen all too intimately what heart
break the waters can bring.
The rivers remain unnaturally
high, levees are saturated, area
farms and towns are submerged
and people continue sandbagging.
"We've lived with this so
long,'' said a tearful Margaret Lin-
demann, whose south St. Louis
home appeared spared. "What is
relief? It's been horrible."
The waters have battered St.
Louis since Friday, flooding hun
dreds of homes in suburban
Chesterfield and St. Charles,
'Great Flood of '93
forcing thousands of people to
evacuate and inundating nearby
farmland.
Despite continued levee
breaks and lingering fears, it ap
pears the Flood of '93 could be
reaching its conclusion after
claiming 45 lives and causing at
least $10 billion in damage.
The weather pattern that
brought relentless rains has shift
ed to the usual, drier summer pat
tern. And in the states down
stream from Missouri and Illinois,
the Mississippi flows wider, with
out the constraining levees.
The river levels dropped in the
metropolitan area because the
Mississippi continued to bulldoze
through saturated levees in west
ern Illinois dumping billions of
gallons of water.
Monday, it was the farming
community of Valmeyer that
paid the price; it was almost
completely submerged. Authori
ties said the water gushing
nears conclusion
through a levee break there
would eventually flow unimped
ed across the 20 miles of low-ly
ing farmland to the historic town
of Prairie du Rocher.
The day before, Alton, Ill., bore
the brunt; its downtown was
swamped and its water treatment
plant damaged when the river
crept into the sewer system. More
than 70,000 people remained
without drinking water.
"The water just came through
the ground, bubbling up through
the street, and the streets were
buckling right before your very
eyes," said Paul Ventimiglia, who
manages his grandfather's now-
flooded Tony's Restaurant.
St. Louis took a battering this
weekend, but the Mississippi
didn't reach the staggering level
Monday that everyone had pre
dicted.
The crest occurred Sunday
without anyone knowing, when
the river reached a record 49.4
feet; it missed the crest of the Mis
souri, which rolled in right on
schedule Monday.
The Mississippi dropped
overnight to 48.6 feet still well be
low the forecast of 49.7 feet.
No new areas in the metropoli
tan area took on water Monday,
though authorities evacuated
about 8,000 people overnight in
south St. Louis along the River
Des Peres because of rears that 51
propane tanks bobbing danger
ously in the swollen waters would
explode.
As divers unhooked leaky
tanks from their pipes, Fire Chief
Neil J. Svetanics called the situa
tion precarious.
"You can't control an explo
sion of propane any more than
you can control the clouds in the
sky," he said.
"While we feel a little relieved,
we still have to be conservative,"
said Candy Green, spokeswoman
for the city's Emergency Manage
ment Agency. "There's still too
much to worry about."
Racing commission approves D-FW horse track
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — The Texas Racing Commission
on Monday approved a proposal for a major-
league horse track in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Opponents of the plan pushed by Midpointe
Racing and Lone Star Jockey Club said they
probably will challenge the decision in court.
The commission also denied Bandera
Downs racing dates for next year, citing a
number of alleged improprieties at the horse
track, which is located about 45 miles north
west of San Antonio.
A Bandera official said he was shocked by
the allegations and would respond to the
charges soon.
In the battle over the Dallas-Fort Worth
track, commissioners allowed Midpointe's
R.D. Hubbard to buy a Class 2 pari-mutuel li
cense from a track that was never built in the
Hill Country town of Round Mountain.
The commission also voted 3-1 to allow
Hubbard to move that license to Grand Prairie.
Hubbard, president and chief executive officer
of Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif, says
Midpointe plans to build a Class 1 facility with
the Class 2 license.
Class 1 tracks are major-league facilities,
such as Churchill Downs where the Kentucky
Derby is run. Class 2 tracks are mid-sized
tracks that generally have quarterhorse races
arid shorter racing seasons.
Last year, the commission granted the Class
1 license to Lone Star Jockey Club. That deci
sion is tied up in court.
Now, Lone Star has joined with Midpointe
in an attempt to build the Class 1 facility with
the Class 2 license.
"We are prepared to bury the hatchet and
go down the road to build a fine racetrack,"
said Jim Musselman, president of Lone Star.
But opponents said the commission's action
circumvents the court battle, and essentially
gives Midpointe license to build a Class 1 facil
ity without competition.
Dean Davis, an attorney representing a ri
val group called Pinnacle Park, said, "Expedi
ency is never going to win over due process."
He said Pinnacle Park probably will appeal the
commission's decision in court.
Trinity Meadows, a Class 2 track near Fort
Worth, also voiced opposition to the plan.
Commissioner Hugh Fitzsimons said the
public interest would best be served by getting
a Class 1 track built as quickly as possible.
Commissioner Ronald Krist dissented, saying,
"I think what's in the public's best interest has
to do with due process."
Hubbard said the track could be built in
Grand Prairie by April 1, 1995.
The commission also criticized Bandera
Downs and refused to grant it 1994 racing dates
until it responds to allegations of improprieties.
Commissioner Krist, who's also chairman
of the panel that oversees the Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety, said Bandera offidals
have consistently refused to cooperate with
law authorities.
He said the track was told recently by the
DPS to notify them when a suspected bank
robber started using marked bills at Bandera
Downs to place small bets and get unmarked
bills back in change.
But track officials, he said, overruled those
instructions.
Krist also accused the track of holding an il
legal race between two horses, and of using an
unlicensed announcer.
House passes Gulf War VA bill on Monday
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Veterans
exposed to toxic substances or en
vironmental hazards during the
Persian Gulf War would receive
priority medical treatment at VA
hospitals, under a bill passed 411-
0 by the House Monday.
The legislation says the VA
must provide hospital and outpa
tient care to all veterans who re
port symptoms before Oct. 1,
1996. The Department of Veterans
Affairs must also refund any pay
ments made by veterans before
the bill is enacted. The bill now
goes to the Senate.
About 4,000 veterans suffer
from health problems related to
service in the Gulf, said Rep. Lane
Davis

The duties of the position re
quire Davis to take on the roles of
fund raiser and as manager of the
funds of the University.
"Funds will be enormously im
portant to maintain at this time
because of all the growth in the
University," he said.

Evans, D-Ill., chairman of the Vet
erans' Affairs subcommittee on
oversight and investigations.
"Some veterans were denied the
health care they needed because
they couldn't prove their illnesses
were service-related," Evans said.
"These are veterans that need our
help and need it now."
Veterans returning from the
Gulf have complained of lung and
heart ailments, gastrointestinal
problems, hair loss and unex
plained bleeding.
VA groups and some doctors
believe the illnesses were caused by
exposure to crude oil fumes, pesti
cides, vaccines administered by the
military or radiation from the de
pleted uranium used in munitions.
VA doctors say they have been
Davis said he had no plans to
make any major changes in the
Foundation, and will probably
spend the first few months "get
ting a good sense of what's in
place."
Davis has served as deputy
chancellor since 1991 and has held
other positions within the Univer
sity System for over 20 years.
Davis was praised by Mobley
and Richardson in a press release
for his management of the Sys
tem's cash and investments.
"Ed Davis's outstanding man
agement and leadership skills are
equaled by his clear understand
ing of the academic enterprise,"
Mobley said. "His understanding
of the educational process and
academic values, along with the
widely recognized expertise in
higher education finance, allows
him to be a superb advocate for
Texas A&M and an excellent
steward of the private resources
unable to identify any direct links
between illnesses and exposure to
toxic materials. The VA has set up
a registry to compile data on vet
erans who believe environmental
hazards effected their health and
opened three referral centers for
cases of unusual symptoms.
"Literally thousands of Persian
Gulf troops are reporting a num
ber of serious and often troubling
and disabling diseases and illness
es," said Rep. Joseph Kennedy, D-
Mass. "Under this legislation Per
sian Gulf veterans are given the
benefit of the doubt."
The House also voted to extend
insurance benefits to 11 Air Force
fliers who were killed in crashes
hours before a new benefits policy
went into effect.-
dedicated to the University."
Mike Baggett, chairman of
A&M's board of trustees, said the
trustees conducted an extensive
search, and Dr. Davis exemplified
the qualities they targeted for a
president.
"Ed Davis is known through
out Texas as an expert in higher
education," he said.
Davis said he welcomed this
opportunity and appreciates the
confidence of the Trustee.
"The challenge facing the lead
ership in higher education is par
ticularly acute right now," he
said. "We have to look at non-tra-
ditional fund-raising sources and
prudently manage all our funds if
we are to maintain the Universi
ty's momentum and support the
outstanding faculty and staff we
have built over the years."
Davis said he intends to build
the Foundation and, in turn, ex
pand the quality of Texas A&M.
Interview
Continued from Page I
"I would question whether or
not I want to work for a compa
ny that would ask those kinds of
questions," she said.
While these types of ques
tions aren't exactly illegal, there
are types that are. Questions re
garding the medical condition of
the applicant are illegal unless a
job offer has been made. After
the offer is made, the employer
may withdraw it if the medical
condition of the applicant
would impose a hardship on the
employer.
Jay Buckley, placement su
pervisor for the Texas Employ
ment Commission of Bryan-Col-
lege Station, said he gets many
calls from people upset about
getting i.n these kind of inter
view situations.
He said he advises the appli
cants that if they are upset about
the interview that they should
call him about it. He said appli
cants experiencing these types
of interviews probably wouldn't
want to work for that company
anyway.
He refers the people who
want to take legal action to the
Texas Commission for Human
Rights and sometimes the
EEOC.
Stone said the San Antonio
district, which covers two-thirds
of the state of Texas, receives
4,000 complaints annually. Na
tionwide, the EEOC receives
100,000 complaints per year.
Once the office receives a
complaint, they serve a notice to
the employer within 10 days.
They collect evidence and if
enough exists to prove there
was something illegal about the
selection process, they take the
employer to court. If they feel
there is not enough evidence,
they dismiss the case and leave
it up to the individual to file a
civil lawsuit. Stone said.
He said all the concern about
equal treatment is not new.
"It's all a result of the Title/
Civil Rights Act of '64," he said.
"I've been handling complaints
for the past 25 years."
Stone said the best advice he
can give to applicants is to avoid
answering questions they feel
could be used against them. Or
they could answer them and if
they don't get the job and feel
they were discriminated against,
calf the EEOC.
Shakeup
Continued from Page 1
and the System is outstanding and "speaks for it
self."
Margraves said he intends to recommend Dr. E.
Dean Gage, senior vice president and provost, for in
terim president. He said because of the nature of the
presidential position, a definite decision on the post
cannot be made until more input is gathered from
the faculty and other sources.
According to earlier reports, it is likely that
Robert Smith, vice president for finance and admin
istration, will go with Mobley to the chancellor's of
fice and become his second in command as executive
deputy chancellor.
In regard to the administrative changes. Mar
graves said, "The thing I think people ought to keep
in mind is that this is not the palace coup. Nobody is
losing their job or leaving the A&M family."
But in news reports released Saturday, Regent
Royce Wisenbaker said he opposes the decision to
remove Richardson from the chancellor's office and
reassign him to a teaching position.
"Obviously, I think it's a tragic situation because I
hired Herb Richardson," he said, referring to
Richardson's appointment to chancellor in 1991. "I
don't know why they did it that way."
Wisenbaker said the Board decided during its
July 22-23 meetings to replace Richardson and put
him into an engineering teaching position Sept. 1.
Richardson said he supports Mobley's future ap
pointment because he has provided outstanding
leadership to A&M over the years.
"Under his direction, the University has improved
its already high national reputation in education and
research, placed a renewed emphasis on quality un
dergraduate teaching and has made great ctrides in in
creasing access for minorities," he said. "I am looking
forward to working under his leadership to help
achieve the goals he will set for the System."
