MSC FILM SOCIETY OF TEXAS AfiM Page 2 • The Battalion STATE &C LOCAL Thursday • September 15 1 rsat>y Se P' Mother granted visitation rights to kidnapped baby EDINBURG, (AP) — A woman Wednesday was grant ed visitation rights with the 2- year-old boy she claims was snatched from her at birth in a Mexican clinic. “I’m very glad with the re sults,” Laura Lugo Alaniz said Wednesday, minutes after state District Judge Robert F. Barnes allowed her limited visitation with the boy, who is currently in a McAllen foster home. Lugo said she’s even more pleased that the family of Pauly- na Botello — whom she claims stole and raised the baby — was denied visitation rights. “I don’t want them near my child anymore. This is my child. They have no bearing on this anymore,” Lugo said. Lugo, 27, said the baby was stolen after a Caesarian section at a clinic in Matamoros Sept. 2, 1992. Ms. Botello, 33, still main tains the child is hers, said her attorney, Enrique Juarez. The judge based his decision on DNA tests indicating a 99.11 percent probability that Lugo is the mother. “The record also indicates that Paulyna Botello is exclud ed from possibility of being the mother,” said Jaime Aleman, a Hidalgo County assistant dis trict attorney representing the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services. Aleman said a Child Protec tive Services case worker will su pervise Lugo’s visits, which will begin at one hour a week. “We want to make sure this child meets the mother slowly but surely under a supervised, controlled environment,” he said. “Our main focus is trying to keep this child calm, safe.” University Continued from Page 1 sues of her campaign platform. “A lot of time student body presidents shove their platform is sues aside,” she said. “I told my self that I would focus on my plat form and my campaign pamphlet hangs on my wall in my office so that I see it everyday.” Leslie said the Crime Stop pers Program, which was on her platform, will be set up in about two weeks. “I said I wanted to improve public relations and Krista Kirk land just sent off a packet of infor mation on Bonfire to the Dallas Morning News,” she said. ‘‘We’re working on organizing the Leg islative Tracking Committee and its main job will be to take legisla tion that is passed and make sure it is implemented.” Also on her platform was adding reading days during finals. “The extra reading days were passed two days ago by the Facul ty Senate,” she said. Leslie said she wants to stress the importance of working to gether. “My main point is this - I can’t do all these things on my own.” Leslie said she really knows the importance of the Student Senate. “Every single issue I deal with, every single program, will start right here in this room,” she said. Leslie compared the job of the student government to the build ing of Interstate 10. The inter state was originally built with no hills or curves to reduce highway deaths, but it actually resulted in more deaths. “I tell you this because it’s very easy to take that straight inter state and it’s harder to find the curves and hills,” Leslie said.“We have to find the issues that affect A&M students and the year will be the best ever.” WHO’S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES 1994-95 TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY Who’s Who applications are now available for both undergraduate and graduate students in the following locations: Commandant’s Office (Military Sciences Building) Student Programs Office (2nd Floor MSC) Student Activities Office (125 John J.
