HERPES STUDY
Individuals with genital herpes
infections are being recruited for a
52-week research study of an
investigational anti-viral medication.
A current herpes outbreak is not!
necessary. $300 will be paid tol
qualified volunteers who enroll and]
complete this study.
For more information, call:
account possible changes in
regulation of the utility indus
try, which Parker said could re
sult in lower prices if A&M were
to buy the power.
The System is starting its
own study to determine what to
do next, but Parker said resum
ing negotiations with Tenneco
or another company is not like
ly-
“I don’t foresee us starting
the project up again,” she said.
“It depends on what the study
recommends. ”
The study will assess the fu
ture energy needs of the cam
pus, taking into account
planned growth, energy conser
vation factors, building usage
and technological change.
Parker said the construction
of Phase I will not be a waste of
time as the hot and chilled wa
ter provided to west campus will
reduce energy needs of the re
mote buildings.
“Phase I will be completed,”
she said. “The decision not to go
ahead with Phase II will not af
fect it.”
Lindsay said the transfer is
critical for A&M’s short-term
needs, and will remain part of
the University’s infrastructure
for years to come.
Megan Mastal, spokeswoman
for Tenneco, said the company
hopes A&M will change its
mind.
“Tenneco was surprised and
disappointed by the University’s
announcement,” she said. “We
hope to meet with University of
ficials to address this issue.”
Mastal said the University
would have greatly benefited
from the plant and the cancella
tion is not fair to those who
need the power.
“It is not in the best interests
of either Texas A&M or state
taxpayers,” she said.
The City of College Station
was the third finalist for the bid
to build the plant.
Lynn Mcllhaney, mayor pro
tern of College Station, said the
city saw the cogeneration plant
as a chance for A&M to work to
gether, if the University had ac
cepted its offer.
“I still hope for A&M, that if
they decide to purchase power
in some fashion that the Univer
sity and the city will work to
gether,” she said.
A&M currently buys an aver
age of one-third of its power
from outside sources. The other
two-thirds are produced by the
plant on campus.

the question, 'Why was it necessary to consider
privatizing Food Services, and why were the three
top management personnel reassigned with no ex
planation?’
“We still have not received an answer,” she
said, “and we want an answer because if there is
no real justification that can be shown. We would
like to see these three people reinstated.”
If she does not receive a valid reason for the of
ficials being reassigned. Freeman said she will ask
Mothers’ Clubs members to write letters to Dr.
Ray Bowen, A&M president, asking him to rein
state them.
Freeman said she is pleased with Bowen’s deci
sion to make changes around the University, and
she thinks he will make an effort to work with the
Mothers’ Clubs.
Bowen’s statement of his plan to restructure
the division of finance and administration in com
ing months is a positive move for the University,
she said.
“Hopefully, there will be a power distribution in
the division, rather than one person havihg all the
power,” she said.
Last week A&M President Ray Bowen reas
signed Robert Smith, former vice president for fi
nance and administration, to the new position of
executive director of special operations.
Freeman said she believed she did everything
possible as president to help students and keep an
eye on the administration.
Looking back on her term, she said she feels a
real sense of accomplishment.
“We raised a sense of awareness in the students
and increased the level of involvement,” she said.
“I also dedicated my year to preserving A&M tra
ditions.
“Being president allowed me to meet students
and make friends among the mothers. Most of the
mothers were in agreement with what I did.”
Freeman encourages students to get involved
on campus .
“My door is always open,” she said. “All they
have to do is pick up the phone or drop me a note.”
Freeman said one of the toughest things she
had to do as president was to ask questions that
could result in adverse publicity.
“It was a hard decision,” she said. “Dealing
with the publicity that resulted was the hardest
thing I had to deal with.”
Shirley Tingley, president of the Aggie Moth
ers’ Clubs, said she will work with the committee
to monitor anything that would affect students.
Freeman joined the Mother’s Club in 1970 and
has been an active member ever since.
She plans to stay active in the Aggie Mother’s
Clubs as vice president at-large of the club. She
also will continue raising money for Sterling C.
Evans Library.

North Koreans, by avoiding
further steps toward a crisis,
but we have to know there’s
been a change,” Clinton said.
“So well be looking to verify
that. And that’s really the
question.”
Clinton said he saw “some
hopeful signs,” such as
Carter's report that Kim had
agreed to a summit meeting
with South Korea. Carter said
that Kim also proposed cutting
military forces on both sides of
the border, and that he agreed
to permit a joint U.S.-Korean
search for remains of Ameri
cans lost in the Korean War.
“But the critical question is,
are they willing to freeze this
nuclear program while we try
to work these differences out?”
Clinton said.
North Korea denies its nu
clear program is for military
purposes, but the United States
says it believes North Korea
has accumulated enough pluto
nium to build one or two nu
clear bombs. Freezing the nu
clear program while high-level
talks were under way would
preclude — at least for the du
ration of the talks — the possi
bility of North Korea adding to
its plutonium stocks and build
ing any nuclear weapons. It’s
unclear how strictly a freeze
could be verified.
Sen. Sam Nunn, chairman
of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, told reporters af
ter a White House meeting
Monday that Washington’s
main focus should be on en
suring that additional nuclear
weapons are not built in
North Korea.
Nunn, a Georgia Democrat,
cautioned against putting too
much emphasis on solving the
mystery of whether North Ko
rea already has one or two
bombs, at the expense of losing
an opportunity to stop it from
acquiring even more weapons.

While some Episcopal churches have
more evangelical, fundamentalist views, St.
Mary the Virgin always was closely aligned
with Catholicism, he said.
Episcopal diocese officials said they were
sorry, but supportive of the parish’s deci-
512-472-4931
“It was an amicable kind of a separation.
They talked about this for a long time,”
Bishop Co-Adjutor Jack Iker said.
The switch will make St. Mary the sixth
“Anglican Use” Roman Catholic parish in
the country.
Under the Anglican Use provision, ap
proved by the Vatican in 1980, Episcopal
churches can become Catholic but continue
to incorporate some of their traditions, such
as the prayer book, and allow exceptions,
such as married priests.
Recently, traditional Episcopalians have
been concerned that the church is following
contemporary trends on moral issues with
out any broad-based consultation, said
Mark Lowery, assistant professor of theolo
gy at the University of Dallas.
“It’s precisely these changes which have
prompted many Anglican priests, and in
this case even a whole parish, to unify with
Rome,” Lowery said.
A series of pastors had led the 34-year-
old Arlington parish before Hawkins arrived
in 1980.
“I felt when I came, that if I did nothing
else, just staying here would help the
parish,” Hawkins said. “If you stay in a
place long enough, they may not agree with
you, or they may, but they trust you.”
That trust was a part of what led to the
series of meetings in 1991, in which the con
gregation sought to break free of the Episco
pal Church.
Karen Breaux and her 4-year-old son
joined her husband, Mitchell, in the
Catholic faith when they converted.
“If the church had voted against it, the
majority would have ruled,” she said. “It was
a big change for me. Once I did, it felt good.”
Hawkins’ wife and two adult children
also converted.
Giles Hawkins, 27, said he always felt
more comfortable with Catholicism, but
stayed with the parish out of loyalty to his
father.
“Always he has been a remarkable leader
for me to follow personally. But I did not
make my decision simply because he was
my father. While that did play into it, I also
have studied the theological issues involved
in this,” Hawkins said.

Church of North America.
The current U.S. House bill, sponsored by Rep.
Bill Richardson, D-N.M., would apply the Texas
exemption nationwide.
Four American Indian civil rights groups, rep
resenting more than 160 tribes, have made a top
priority of federal legislation to afford the protec
tion nationwide.
“Texas is absolutely crucial for the passage of
this bill,” said James Botsford, a Wisconsin-based
attorney for the Native American Church.
With the rise of the 1960s drug culture, many
non-Indians turned to peyote as a natural high,
drug enforcement officials said.
“In the late 1960s, white folks who were fairly
young and had money and some time on their
hands started experimenting with peyote,” said
DEA spokesman John Geider of Dallas.
“They weren’t interested in the traditions or
the religious significance of peyote to Native
Americans,” he said.
However, some non-Indians say their concerns
are truly spiritual, not opportunistic, and that the
proposed exemption unfairly and unconstitution
ally excludes them.
“I don’t think it’s right to have religious prefer
ence based on ethnic origin,” said Bill Stites, a
member of the Peyote Way Church of God, who is
awaiting an appeal of a 1993 conviction on a pey
ote possession charge.

Despite mounting pressure
in Congress to identify up to
$300 million in cuts, Goldin
again maintained that he
wouldn’t cut space station fund
ing. He also expressed reluc
tance to terminate either
NASA’s Saturn probe or an or
biting observatory that would
complement the Hubble Space
Telescope.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, the
Maryland Democrat who chairs
the appropriations subcommit
tee that funds NASA programs,
has indicated either the probe
or the observatory may have to
be killed.
“We’ve got to find the money
to solve the problem,” Goldin
said, arguing that NASA has
done its share for deficit reduc
tion by cutting its budget 30
percent in the last two years.
Asked if he would leave
NASA if Congress terminates
the space station, Goldin said
he would have to consider that
option. “I don’t believe the Con
gress will kill the space sta
tion,” he said.
“But if the space station is
cancelled. I’ll tell you one thing:
I’m going to go home and cry
about the future of America.”
