Perry says By Eloise Flint The Battalion Texas is not heading in the right direction be- ng cause of a lack of leadership, Texas Agriculture Cpmmissioner Rick Perry said at a meeting of thr Texas A&M College Republicans Tuesday. I Perry, Class of '72, took office in 1991. He said Texas and the Republican Party need bright, young and articulate faces who know what is ahead of them. ■ "When you're right, have the right people be hind you and the right issues, you can win," Perry said. Perry said people should make a difference in their life today so that their children will have a Texas that is worthwhile and beautiful in the fu ture. "It's time to lay down the law and demand that the governor of Texas stop entertaining and start leading," Perry said. "That's what George W. Bush will do." Perry said Bush is an incredibly bright young man that wants to lead the state. Perry said they can't address the issues alone. "All to often we send people off to Washing ton or Austin to work for us," Perry said. "I work for you and I can't do this without you." Perry said he didn't get into the business be cause he's a politician, but because he loves the state of Texas. "The Republican Party is going to grow in the rural, agricultural and conservative democ ratic country," Perry said. Perry said he has proven that the Republi cans can make a difference. "For three years they have seen that a Repub lican Agriculture Commissioner makes them proud," Perry said. t Arlington prof Tubularmcm arrested for luring | MEEt Tl)£ Itudent into Irving By Boomer Cardinole )rostitution ring The Associated Press r HE BAIT/Ui :ss Wed Ml Fail S on pel of PraiJ I ARLINGTON - A history pro- ftssor at the University of Texas at Arlington has been charged with luring a student to join a prostitu tion ring.

First Cat pays respects to congressional kitty The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The nation's first feline is mourning the passing of a beloved congressional cat. Tuesday's mail brought a missive — on White House letterhead — to Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson from Socks, lamenting the death of Khyber last November. "I know how difficult losing such a good friend must be for you," Socks wrote in the letter, which like an accompanying photo was autographed with a paw print. "As a former homeless cat, I also know that by adopting Khyber from an animal shelter, you gave him many wonderful years that he otherwise might not have had." The part-Himalayan Khyber took up residence in Wilson's Capitol Hill office in 1986 and was joined a year later by Eteawon, a Birman. The cats were famous fixtures on Capitol Hill, lazily lounging on the furniture in Wilson's office. Eteawon is now top dog, so to speak, in Wil son's office and is teaching the ropes to newcomer Winston Churchill Wilson, a Himalayan who goes by the less ponderous "Bubba." The White House letter marked the first contact between Socks and Wilson's office. Socks had coolly ignored an earlier attempt at communication by Khyber and Eteawon. As the 2nd District's feline representative, Khy ber had sent Socks a congratulatory letter when President Clinton was sworn in, offering to give the Clinton cat an orientation to the dog-eat-dog town. Nary a reply was received. But, apparently prompted by news reports of Khyber's passing. Socks ended the silence this week. Perhaps a busy schedule accounts for the faux paw. "As First Cat, I am working hard to promote goodwill and to provide a safe and friendly envi ronment for cats across America," Socks wrote Wilson. Churches Continued from Page 1 jditor ditor litor With choir practices, Bible studies, and church services al most every day of the week as well as balancing school and ex tracurricular activities, finding time can sometimes be a problem. I Alan said juggling Dance Arts Bociety, Fade to Black, Voices of 3to ediw 1 lions edi 1 Praise and the church, can some times be a challenge. But when a sacrifice is to be made, she says she has her priori ties. "For me, the religion I hold is the most important thing in my life," Allen said. "Everything else is secondary. I balance my sched ule around my church and Voices of Praise." Green, who attends church al most daily and leads a weekly de nominational Bible study, said his relationship with God is the most important thing in his life. "He is numero uno," Green said. "Eventually school will pass away as will many other things, but my relationship with God will always be true." Adams, who juggles school with a part-time job. Voices of Praise and church, said the task isn't difficult when you make God essential. "I always hear people say they never have time, yet they have time to do the 'essential things' like eating and sleeping," he said. "To me God is an essential. It is essential for me to make time for God." Green even attributes a series of 4.0 semesters to God. "Before I became fully focused on the Lord, I was an average stu dent," he said. "But when He turned around, my drive increased, my distrac tions left and my self-esteem rose." I.UU.ITIarkr Jeweler/ inc. 3841 Bellaire Blvd. Houston.
