Senate endorses no penalty helmet
HIV prevention con
ference to be held
The Race and Ethnic Studies
Institute and the Brazos Valley
Community Action Agency will focus
their attention on HIV prevention
among minority women during a
conference April 6-7 at Texas A&M
University.
The conference, “Reversing the
Trend: Strategies for HIV Prevention
Among Minority Women”, will offer
panel discussions, speakers and
strategy planning sessions.
Some of the topics to be covered
are: “Sexual Child Abuse, Culture
and Vulnerability for HIV/AIDS”,
“Beyond AIDS 101. An Example of
Participatory Learning”, “Class, Race
and Science: Implications for HIV
Prevention in Women” and “HIV,
Alcohol and Risk-Taking Behavior
Among Minority Women."
□ The law that requires
people to wear head
protection will have no
enforcement provision.
Faculty senator de
termined by recount
AUSTIN (AP) — Under a bill
tentatively approved by the Sen
ate Wednesday, youths riding bi
cycles on public roadways would
be required to wear protective
helmets — sort of.
The bill by Sen. Judith Zaf-
firini, D-Laredo, requires that
helmets be worn by juveniles un
der the age of 18, but it includes
no penalties for violations, a sit
uation that caused several sena
tors to question why the mea
sure was needed.
“Passing laws to make (peo
ple) law violators when you’re
not going to do anything to them
anyway, it seems to me, is pretty
superfluous,” Sen. Don Hender
son, R-Houston, said.
The Senate gave preliminary
approval to the bill with a 19-
10 vote.
The bill’s supporters charac
terized it as a health and safety
measure.
“We believe this is a psycho
logical tool and something that
can help parents tell their chil
dren, ‘Wear a bicycle helmet,”’
Zaffirini said. “We believe that
this will save people’s lives.”
She said many laws with no
enforcement provisions exist on
the state books.
“If this legislation only pre
vents one head injury, just one
(to) just one child in this entire
state, it’s well worth our effort,”
said Sen. Mike Moncrief, D-
Fort Worth.
Henderson, however, suggest
ed that education programs
would be a more effective way of
encouraging children to wear
bike helmets.
“I want everybody to be safe
and healthy, and I would like
goodness and happiness for the
whole world for the rest of every
one’s life, but I don’t think I
could realistically pass;
do that,” he said.
Sen. Peggy Rossoe
Paso, said the bill was®
light of the Legislature
on teaching children tin
will face consequencesfi
inal actions.
“What kind of psycln
message are we sending
young people whenwesaij
passing a law whichrej
you to do something bu
really against the law
we’re not going to enfo
Rosson said.
Zaffirini said a strone
did not have the suppoi
come law. She pointed!
by Rep. Bill Carter,!
Worth, that would set
for a bike rider of any
using a helmet.
“It is still in commit
said, indicating it stoc(|
chance of passing. “Thi:
only hope. If theresati
that we can pass it
like this.”

A miscalculation in the counting of
runoff ballots for Faculty Senate
resulted in determining the wrong
winner Tuesday. Olga Cook was
elected Place 8 for the College of
Liberal Arts.
The procedure for Faculty Senate
voting calls for voters to rank their
choices for senator from one to three.
Only the first choice is counted unless
a tie occurs, then the second choice
is counted to break the tie.
It was in the counting of these
second-choice votes that the error
occurred.

Conference to teach
sensitivity, leadership
About 200 peer educators and
their advisers from universities across
the southwest will be at Texas A&M
April 6-8 for the first peer education
conference.
The theme of the conference is
“Unify and Empower: Making a
Difference for the Future”. Its goal is
to teach the participants skills such as
team building, cultural sensitivity,
presentation style and leadership
development. Speakers will include
Dr. Barry Thompson, chancellor of the
Texas A&M System, Randi Shade, a
former peer educator and Andrea
Prothro, a former Texas A&M health
educator.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Con
gressional Republicans’ latest
attempt to put the brakes tem
porarily on parts of the Endan
gered Species Act may prove
successful.
House and Senate negotiators
who Wednesday concluded their
bickering over a $3.1 billion sup
plemental defense spending bill
agreed to keep in the bill lan
guage that would freeze new En
dangered Species Act protec
tions, said Rep. Henry Bonilla,
R-San Antonio.
With the Pentagon pressing
urgently for the supplemental
funding, the conference bill ap
pears poised for rapid approval
this week in both houses.
The money is needed to re
plenish Pentagon accounts used
to pay for deployments to Haiti
and elsewhere and President
Clinton has promised deep
spending cuts unless the bill is
sent to his desk swiftly.
“The ESA moratorium is a
top priority,” said Bonilla, who
as a defense supplemental con
feree fought to keep the freeze
“I
"ESA regulations have been used
to curtail training exercises at
some of our military installations."
— Rep. Henry Bonilla, R-San Antonio
in the bill.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-
Texas, last month successfully at
tached the moratorium language
to the defense supplemental bill
approved by the Senate. But the
language faced a tenuous future
in conference committee because
unlike the Senate, the House has
strict rules about what can be at
tached to appropriations bills.
The moratorium also wasn’t in
cluded in the House-pa;.,™ flus
fense spending measure. I com i
“Some of my colleague T i Y ^
