The order restores the silver U.S. insignia to all lapels and allows officers to wear their rank insignia on their shoul ders. It should be a morale- booster for service members who complained they’d been mistaken too often for commer cial airline pilots or members of foreign military services. In a statement sent to the Air Force’s 420,000 members around the world, Chief of Staff Gen. Ronald Fogleman said he found the new uniform’s poly ester-wool blend and slim cut a “superb choice” with a “good fit ... good image.” “Notwithstanding these posi tive features, there are, as with all new programs, some mid course changes which would en hance the uniform’s acceptabili ty, functionality, and appear ance,” he said. “Our goals are to make the necessary changes as soon as possible and eliminate the uniform as an issue.” The new uniform, which was introduced in 1991 by Gen. Mer rill McPeak, did away with the polyester blend that he com plained was dated and stripped nearly all insignia and other or namentation. He said at the time he wanted a more stylish, less expensive and less clut tered uniform. It was denounced in many quarters for its spartan look, the removal of any U.S. in signia and the fact that officers’ uniforms had insignia rank on the lower sleeves, as Navy uni forms do. Squadron Continued from Page t coach, will give the football to a senior member of the outfit, thus beginning the long run. Brett Marshall, head of oper ations for Squadron 17 and the senior cadet who will start the run, said that after he gets the football, the squadron will run to the Fish Lot where all their cars will be parked. “We have signs counting off the miles, and each car has to drive to the front of the line be fore stopping,” Marshall said. “After you get to the front of the line, you just wait for your chance to run.” Marshall, a senior industrial distribution major, said cadets may sit in their cars for two or three hours waiting for their turn to run. “It will probably take 13 to 14 hours to get the game football to Memorial Stadium,” he said. Marshall said that the sherif f’s departments between A&M and Austin have been informed about the tradition. “This year we have received quite a bit of publicity,” Mar shall said. “However, when we ran the ball in 1992, we really surprised some of the town sher iffs.” Marshall said not many peo ple knew about the run, so the cars, which were lined up for 30 miles in 1992, looked like every sheriffs nightmare. “One sheriff stopped near the car I was in,” Marshall said. “Once we told him what was go ing on, he wished us good luck, but he said he hadn’t been sure what to expect before.” Jones, a junior political sci ence major, said each member will probably run two or three of the approximately 100 miles to Memorial stadium in Austin. “The squadron hopes to earn their goal of $30 per cadet for the Brazos Boy and Girls Club,” Jones said. “While we are ex pecting to have a great time run ning the ball, this is really a way we can earn money for these children.” People- NEW YORK (AP) — “NYPD Blue” fans, you can kiss David Caruso’s butt goodbye. Caruso — and his occasionally naked charac ter, Detective John Kelly —- departed the precinct house of the ABC show for the last time Tuesday. Caruso left the eighth-ranked se ries after a salary dispute with his producers. But Kelly wasn’t killed off, as some fans had feared. “That was never in our thoughts,” said the show’s creator, Steven Bochco. “That would be too cheesy.” Instead, Kelly was transferred to a dis patcher’s desk, under pressure from the Inter nal Affairs Bureau. The detective had been ac cused of shielding his ex-girlfriend during her trial for the tnur der of a mobster. Don’t shed too many tears for Caruso, though. His next job- the movie “Jade” — reportedly pays $2 million. Caruso Interr Continued fr NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country rocker Steve Earle is ting the road again, moving from jail to a drug treatment center A Criminal Court judge agreed last week to release Earle from jail after he served 60 days of an 11-month, 29-day sentence fc possessing heroin. The judge ordered Earle, 39, to complete outpatient drug treatment program at Cedarwood Center in Hen dersonville. Earle’s attorney said the singer had been “hurting" becauseol withdrawal from methadone, which he had been taking for 11 months to combat an addiction to heroin. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Texas Rangers slugger Juan “Igor” Gonzalez is deny ing accusations he abandoned his estranged wife for a salsa singer. “Her allegations not only are injurious to my person, but they constitute a gratuitous offense to third persons,” said a statement Gonzalez faxed to the press Tuesday. Gonzalez married Elaine Lopez, a 22-year- old player for Puerto Rico’s national volleyball team, in April. Five months later, he was pho tographed publicly kissing singer Olga Tanon at a concert in San Juan. Gonzalez later said he was divorcing Lopez and that he Tanon were close friends. Lopez told a different story. “Igor fell in love with Olga and abandoned me,” Lopez told The Associated Press on Sunday. “She knew she was getting involved with a married man.” Gonzales LOS ANGELES (AP) — Call it His Highness in the ’Hood: Prince Charles came to South Central Los Angeles, making teen aged girls scream and swoon as if he were a rock star. “He touched my hand, he touched my hand!” shrieked one young woman. “He touched my hair!” Traveling in a motorcade of Jaguars, the fresh prince’s stop Tuesday was an inner city school, where he dedicated! learning center. His last stop was the Hollywood premiere “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.” It’s his first official Los Angeles visit in 17 years, though he did stop briefly in Palm Springs eight years ago.
