indicate whether the pur
chase included alcoholic bev
erages. Fiscal Officers and
others who approve vouchers
for payment must do so only
if the purchases have been
properly documented.”
Mobley said the primary
issue concerning alcohol has
been the completeness and
accuracy of vouchers issued
for alcohol purchases.
“It is important to note
that no instances have been
found at Texas A&M Univer
sity or the A&M System to
indicate that tax dollars
were spent to purchase alco
hol,” Mobley said.
Dr. Mark Weichold,
speaker of the Faculty Sen
ate, said he was pleased
with the Board’s actions con
cerning an alcohol policy.
“The fact that we’ve got a
clearly stated policy now
makes me happy,” Weichold
said. “I am also pleased to
see the policy was worded in
such a way that the presi
dents of each institution
were given some flexibility.”
Dr. Ray Bowen, A&M
president, said the policy
will help A&M to obey all
laws concerning alcohol.
“It will certainly help
avoid any further problems,”
Bowen said.
The policy takes the place
of a total ban on alcohol pur
chases issued by Mobley in
March, following the indict
ment of two Board of Regent
secretaries.
The two women were in
dicted on felony charges of
falsifying government docu
ments by disguising alcohol
purchases as purchases of
food and beverages.
Four A&M employees
were indicted in June on
misdemeanor charges of
tampering with government
documents. Four others,
who opted not to go through
the grand jury process,
were also charged with
tampering.

aid for Rwanda’s
GOMA, Zaire (AP) — A wave
of U.S. food and medical help for
anguished Rwanda refugees was
on the way Saturday, but aid
workers say filth and famine
will give death the upper hand
in the refugee camps for at least
another week.
Cholera is spreading quickly
and ferociously through the
camps, killing at least 3,000
refugees since Wednesday, ac
cording to the U.N. High Com
missioner for Refugees. Others
are dying of other diseases and
malnutrition.
President Clinton on Friday
authorized more than $100 mil
lion for airlifts of medicine, food
and water, bringing the total of
U.S. aid for the Rwandan crisis
to $250 million since April.
“One hopes is the U.S. puts in
all its muscle, things will start
to change fairly dramatically by
the erid of next week,” said Ru
pert Colville, a spokesman for
the UNHCR in Geneva.
“It is probably only a massive
intervention, that only a super
power like the Americans can
provide, that will save this situ
ation,” said Ray Wilkinson, a
UNHCR spokesman in Coma.
Although the U.S. effort, bol
stered by German support, was
a big step toward relief, much
more is needed, said Colville.
“We are very disappointed
with the response on other parts
of our appeal, particularly on the
sanitation,” he said.
Cholera spreads through con
tact with contaminated feces
and the refugee camps need at
least 60,000 latrines for ade
quate sanitation, Colville said.
But no government has offered
to provide or maintain latrines.
“It’s no good purifying the wa
ter if there’s feces lying all over
the place,” he said.
The refugees, members of the
Hutu ethnic group, have
crammed into sprawling, pesti
lential camps in Zaire to escape
feared reprisals from the Tutsi-
led Rwandan Patriotic Front,
which last week defeated the
government army after three
months of battle.
The rebels launched their of
fensive in April after extremist
Hutu militias started slaughter
ing Tutsis and others believed to
oppose the Hutu regime.
The militias killed more than
500,000 Rwandans — some esti
mates say as many as 1 million
— with axes, guns and machetes
before they were driven into hid
ing by the RPF.
As many as 1.7 million
refugees fled in the past 10 days,
scared into flight by radio broad
casts from the former govern
ment saying the RPF planned to
kill them.
U.N. special envoy Shaharyar
Khan said there have been no
reports of civilian abuse at the
hands of the RPF.
The camps — where the air
reeks of excrement, decompos
ing corpses and the smoke from
cooking fires — are so miser
able that thousands of refugees
have gathered at the border,
hoping to return.
Radio Rwanda, once the pro
paganda weapon of the Hutu
government and now the voice of
the RPF, has been airing hourly
broadcasts promising the
refugees security and urging
them to return home.
But those who tried met a
baffling roadblock.
Hundreds were stopped Fri
day by Zairian authorities who
closed the border for an un
known reason, UNHCR
spokesman Ray Wilkinson told
reporters in Coma.
French troops manning the hu
manitarian protection zone were
believed to have ordered the bor
der to be closed while they
cleaned the area of hundreds of
