LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — An attorney says Henry Cisneros’ former mistress offered to settle her lawsuit for $200,000 but heard no answer from the U.S. Housing Secretary. Linda Medlar alleges Cis neros owes her $256,000 for com mitting fraud and breaking a contract after their extramarital affair made headlines during his tenure as San Antonio’s mayor. “From day one we’ve been ready to settle,” Medlar attorney Floyd Holder said Wednesday. “The suit’s about money.” Cisneros denies he ever agreed to pay Ms. Medlar $4,000 a month until her teen-age daugh ter graduated from college. Ms. Medlar’s lawsuit — filed July 29 in Lubbock, where she now lives — says Cisneros ad mitted he damaged her marriage and career as a political fund raiser. She got divorced; he re mained married. Per their verbal agreement in 1990, she says, he began making payments to her. But the money stopped without explanation and in violation of their contract in 1993, the lawsuit says. Cisneros has explained the payments as compassion rather than legal obligation. And in a deposition Oct. 17, he said he continued the pay ments partly to avoid public embarrassment. “We’re not out to fillet Henry. The point was not to beat up on him,” Holder said. “At the same time, I’m not afraid of the court house. And I think this would be a fun case to try.” Holder said the $200,000 set tlement offer was made two months ago. He said he hasn’t talked since then to Cisneros attorney Seagal Wheatley of San Antonio. Wheatley did not immediate ly return an Associated Press telephone call Wednesday. But Wheatley told San Antonio radio station WOAI that he considered the offer an interesting development. “She’s had her fun, her lawyer’s had his fun with the publicity. Now they want to get some more money and walk away from it, and I have to tell you frankly that this doesn’t have much appeal to me,” he said. Cisneros Wheatley said a settlemer,: proposal should havecomeii| “long before any suit was " and before Medlar sought public ty and sold her story” for Sl5,0(K to the TV show “Inside Edition." The lawsuit prompted a Jus tice Department investigatioc that concluded that Cisnerosliej about the amount of money! FBI agents who were cheeky the background of President Clinton’s. Housing nominee.At torney General Janet Renohai recommended that a special prosecutor investigate the p ments. Wheatley contended WOAI that Ms. Medlar alreac; has “caused a lot of damage'u Cisneros. “What caused him the dan age was his behavior,” Hold: retorted. No date has been set fortr in the lawsuit. A hearing scheduled April 14. Discussion: Male panelists talk about the Womens Movement Continued from Page 1 the Temple Veterans Administration, said men do not usually go to therapy or counseling by choice. They usually attend because someone in their life is complaining about them. “Men are taught that they need to be tough and control their emo tions,” Brooks said. “They are doing hard work and put in long hours. They should be able to support and protect their families. “But now the wife says, ‘You’re not sensitive enough, you don’t talk enough, all you do is sit in front of the TV.’ Then when he tells her what he’s feeling, she says, ‘Don’t get so angry.’” Brooks said men are often upset about being confronted and facing change. The problem is that nothing will be resolved until men begin to talk about their anger toward women, he said. Williams said many men feel angry and resentful toward women. “If I say to him, ‘What do you want to get out of therapy?’,” Brooks said, “he says, ‘Are you kidding? I want to get out of this place. I want to get this woman off my back and get on with my life.’” Michael Osterburh, area coordinator for Residence Life and blousing, said there are many shades in the women’s movement Not all women, he said, are strictly feminists or traditionalists. “There are many women who would like to stay home and raise their children, but if they get a job, they want and expect equal pay for equal work,” Osterburh said. Brooks said men can gain much from women and their ideas. “Don’t look at this as a battle between the sexes,” Brooks said “There’s a lot to be gained when we look beyond the stereotypes that we are taught.” Williams agreed that it is not an “us against them” issue. “Change can be threatening, but I encourage you to use the change to grow,” Williams said. “This should be looked at as an opportunity, not a threat.” All panelists encouraged males to talk about their problems, whatever they are. “Take care of yourself and don’t use your frustration as an ex cuse to act upon anger,” Osterburh said. “Find someone to sit down with and talk about it.” GSC: Stephenson Moore to serve as new president Continued from Page 1 ernment that was started by student body president Brooke Leslie. “There is a graduate student representa tive who is allowed to sit on the executive committee for student government in a non voting position,” Moore said. “I’d like to en courage a representative from student govern ment to sit in on our executive committee. “I think that would improve quite a few things and allow for more cohesiveness,” Moore said. She believes the GSC has a different focus from the undergraduate student government. “The Graduate Student Council is primar ily geared toward addressing graduate stu dents’ issues,” she said, “while the student government addresses issues pertaining to all students.” Graduate student issues range from acad emics to on-campus child care, Moore said. One of the new issues is the health center fee referendum. “We want to make sure the graduate stu-' dents continue to have a say in how the money is spent,” she said. Tuition wavers have also become a recent concern with graduate students. Moore said the Legislature is considering requiring students with 120 hours or more in a graduate degree to pay nonresident tu ition, whether or not they are residents. “Generally a graduate student who re ceives a scholarship or a stipend pays in state tuition,” she said. “If graduate stu dents have to pay out-of-state tuition, more of them may not be able to continue their graduate educations.” Encouraging graduate students to partici pate in campus activities is another of Moore’s goals. “I think graduate students come to Texas A&M and they don’t experience the Af gieland spirit,” she said. “Many of their have never been to Yell FYactice and don'tjt to football games. “I would like to see anything thatcanbe done for graduate students to enhance their time spent here at A&M.” Moore is seeking a Ph.D. in meteorolop and hopes to work for NASA, where she hi done research work in past summers. She was selected for GSC president la : week along with the other officers. The new officers are Jack Mills, vice pre ident; Yuan Cui, finance; Eddy Woodfir academic affairs; Paul Grover, externals fairs; Greg Lackey, graduate life; and Dor na Lindenmeier, internal affairs.
