Page 8 Baylor fraternity loses charter The Associated Press WACO — Alpha Tau Omega, which was booted off campus earlier in the year by Baylor University, has now been stripped of its charter by the fraternity’s national office. Wynn Smiley, a spokesman for the national office in Champaign, Ill., said Monday that the Baylor chapter subjected pledges to being yelled at, ridiculed and intimidated while they were standing in a “line-up.” Also, pledges were forced into “servitude,” which included the cleaning of fraternity members’ rooms, said Smiley, the fraternity’s national director of communications. Smiley said fraternity members have been placed on alumni status and would never again be active members of the fraternity. Former pledges will be allowed to join other fraternities, Smiley said. The national chapter closed the fraternity after Baylor decided to revoke its recognition of the group earlier this year, Smiley said. Baylor senior Spencer Edwards, who was president of the local chapter, said the fraternity’s problems were “blown completely out of proportion.” “We broke some minor rules. ... We don’t feel like we should have lost our charter,” Edwards said. Baylor officials and the national charter apparently were tipped to the al leged hazing incidents by an anonymous letter, Edwards said. “Even though our investigation found only a handful of members were conducting most of the hazing, the entire chapter was aware of the activi ty,” said Thomas Schneider, the fraternity’s national executive director. But Smiley said the fraternity will probably not be allowed back at the school for many years. Disney to open new park by end of ’90s The Associated Press LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Live gorillas and exotic animals may join Mickey Mouse and Goofy at Walt Disney World. Disney World plans a fourth theme park by the end of the decade, and one of the possibilities is animal conservation, said Jane Adams, Disney’s manager of media relations. “We are on track, but no final decision has been reached yet,” Adams said Monday. She would not disclose other themes Disney is exploring for the new park, which would join Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom, the futuristic Ep- cot exhibition center, and Disney MGM Studios on the property of the resort in central Florida. Disney has hired former. San Diego Zoo chief Rick Barongi, but Adams would not confirm if he was hired specifically for the new park. Barongi is working on “a number of animal-type projects,” Adams said. Disney now has live tortoises and other exotic animals at Discovery Is land, another attraction at Disney World.

Sunny weather David \iirchlThe Ballaliu Heidi Rutz, a fifth-year senior English major, soaks up some rays on the edge of Rudder Fountain on Tuesday. Cowboys Continued from Page 1 Johnson wanted to be away from Jones. And Jones, who said two weeks be fore the Super Bowl that he could coach the Cowboys, now can be the "fool ball guy’<’for the organization. .. *». . hai-j/i j.u ij <at:..I Jones wouldn’t speculate on possible coaches although iNotre Dame coac j Lou Holtz was believed to be one of them. Davis was mentioned as was Barr ! Switzer, the former Oklahoma coach. “I’m flattered to be a candidate. I’d love to get the chance to talk to Jerry. | Davis said. There was mixed reaction from players. “I’m paid to play football, but I had a lot of respect for what Jimmy job i son did.’ quarterback Troy Aikman said. Emmitt Smith was not immediately reachable for comment. However, las I week he said, “If you fire Jimmy, you fire me." Michael Irvin, who played for Johnson at Miami, stormed around ViUt) I Ranch slamming doors. Even Johnson’s foes said they will miss him. In Phoenix, Buddy Ryan said: “I'm disappointed that Jimmy left Dallas | Things aren’t always as good as they look from the outside.” Johnson looked almost relieved during his news conference. “Personally, it was a time I think I needed to pull back some,” he said “Anybody who knows me knows I have to be 100 percent totally focused oi else I’m not going to be as good. “I felt like I was beginning to lose that focus, and because of that I'm no longer coach of the Dallas Cowboys.” It was the mention of Switzer that made Johnson fly into a rage. During a league party last week, Jones proposed a toast to die team's sue | cess. When he wasn’t invited to join Johnson’s table, he said befell | “snubbed.” Jones later said in a barroom conversation that he might replace Johnson with Switzer. Johnson, informed of the remarks the next day, said he was | “deeply hurt” by Jones and the way he had been treated. It turned out to be the last straw in a series of flareups, which have induded i an incident when Jones brought Prince Bandar of Sauai Arabia to the sidelines | during a game. Another time, Jones sent an overweight young man heencoun- | : tered in a bar to Johnson as a tryout for the team.
