wildlife.”
Richards said the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service should
“abandon all plans” to set aside
parts of 33 Central Texas coun
ties as critical habitat for the en
dangered golden-cheeked war
bler. The federal agency is study
ing the idea.
In July, Richards withdrew
her support for designating sev
eral waterways in Texas as “out
standing national resource wa
ters.” The proposal was aimed at
curbing pollution of the water
ways, including Caddo Lake in
East Texas and Barton Springs
in Central Texas.
Landowners said the ONRW
designation would lead to federal
control of the lakes and take away
their ability to develop property.
Last month, landowners rallied at
the Capitol to denounce any feder
al action that would infringe on
private property rights.
Ken Kramer, director of the
Lone Star chapter of the Sierra
Club, which earlier endorsed
Richards, said the governor’s
position on the warbler may af

the students who were turned
away from on-campus housing
to find off-campus housing.
“In May and June, we re
ceived phone calls from stu
dents and parents trying to
find housing off-campus be
cause they had been turned
away from an on-campus
space,” she said.
Jerry Smith, associate di
rector of business services,
said the University is losing
money by not having these
spaces occupied.
He said the debt service cost
for the halls is the same regard
less of the number of students
living in them, but the utility
costs vary.
“There will hopefully be
some cost savings for utilities,”
he said, “but these are not sig
nificant savings compared to
the loss of revenue.”
The department is analyzing
the surveys filled out by students
who canceled their housing con
tract for the reasons they chose
not to live on-campus.
The investigation should be
completed in a few weeks, Put
ney said.

Punitive damage award reduced
in McDonald’s ‘coffee case’
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A
judge today reduced a $2.7 mil
lion punitive damage award
against McDonald’s Corp. to
$480,000 for an elderly Albu
querque woman who was scald
ed by hot coffee she spilled on
her lap.
State District Judge Robert
Scott denied motions by attor
neys for McDonald’s asking for
a new trial or at least that he
set aside the jury’s punitive
damage award.
A jury in August awarded
nearly $2.9 million in punitive
and compensatory damages to
Stella Liebeck, 81, who suffered
third-degree bums on her legs,
groin and buttocks in Feb. 27,
1992, when she placed a cup of
coffee between her legs to
steady it while prying the lid off
at a McDonald’s driveup win
dow in Albuquerque.
Scott said at today’s hearing
that he was concerned by the
amount of the previous puni
tive damage award.
He also noted that jurors in
the case had awarded $200,000
in compensatory damages to
Liebeck, which he said was
nearly 20 times the actual med
ical damages. The $200,000
award was reduced by the jury
by $40,000, finding Liebeck was
partly responsible for the in
jury.
