He seemed most interested when one of his attorneys showed the court a large collection of news paper headlines about the case. The death toll rose to 110 with the discovery of 11 more bodies, eight of them in “the pit” of the pancaked floors above the day care center and Social Secu rity offices. All were adults. “We’ve gone through most of the day care (area) at this point,” said Fire Chief Gary Marrs. “The Social Security (area) is going to be harder to determine. I think we’ve hit spots of both areas.” “It seems to be going faster the lower we go,” Marrs said. He said searchers had reduced the rubble pile at the front of the pit from three stories high to about the height of one story. Fifteen of the dead identified so far have been children, said Ray Blakeney, spokesman for the state medical examiner’s of fice. He said 97 people were be lieved missing, including four children from the day care cen ter and a fifth who was in the Social Security office. When McVeigh, the only per son yet charged in the bombing, was stopped by a state trooper on April 19, 90 minutes after the blast, his yellow Mercury Marquis was missing a license plate. That plate has not been found, and the FBI is seeking it, said special agent Weldon Kennedy, who is in charge of the investigation. A Washington law enforce ment source, who spoke on condi tion of anonymity, said investiga tors know “that plate was on a ve hicle in Oklahoma City before the blast.” There is a videotape that shows the plate on a vehicle in Oklahoma City, the official said; it has bee reported previously that a videotape shows the Ryder truck outside the federal building. Why would it be useful now? “It might be on the ground,” and the location might help pinpoint an escape route, the official said. “Or, it might be on another vehicle,” the official said, sug gesting that it might have been switched to an escape vehicle used by Doe No. 2.

Continued from Page 1 “However, in recent years the range and quality ' of cosmological observations has improved enor mously with developments in technology. So this objection against regarding cosmology as a sci ence, that it doesn’t have an observational basis, is no longer valid.” Hawking said he wants to know why the uni verse is the way it is. He said that in the past, peo ple gave reasons based on religion and meta physics, rather than science. “Although many people welcomed this conclu sion, it has always profoundly disturbed me,” Hawking said. “If the laws of physics could break down at the beginning of the universe, why couldn’t they break down anywhere? “In quantum theory it is believed that anything can happen if it’s not strictly forbidden.” Hawking told of a theory called the “no boundary proposal” which he proposed along with Jim Hartle, a fellow physicist. The boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary. Hawking said. “The path integral for quantum gravity should be taken over all compact Euclidian metrics,” he said. Hawking also described the “Hot Big Bang” mod el and said the model does not explain why the uni verse is expanding at almost exactly the critical rate to avoid collapsing again. He said that if it was not, “the universe wouldn’t have lasted long enough for life to develop.” Jokingly, Hawking told the audience not to wait around to become young again. “It is not much use waiting for the universe to collapse to return to your youth,” he said, “because it would take too long.” Chris Holder/Special to The Battalion Dr. Steven Hawking presents technical informa tion on quantum cosmology and black holes. pot. It would be wonderful ill saw an Anglo student wearing 3 diasheki just like I wear ‘Angli clothes, or if 1 saw an Asian ini sombrero.” Panelist Nature Sargent said that because Texas A&N does not tolerate ethnic differ ences, it is time to reevaluati what an Aggie is. “The definition of an Aggies far too stifling,” she said. “Ati time when we should be encour aging creativity among students the definition of an Aggie leave; no room for creativity.” Dr. Greg Moses, a lecturer ir the philosophy department ani the faculty adviser to the National Associationfo the Advancement of Colored Pev pie, concluded the conference by encouraging students to take an active role in solving race-relatai problems. “The society depends on stu dents to move the world for ward,” he said. “Aggies have not been doing that. Students need to take the initiative because its a poor student body who think it has to simply follow the ad ministration.” Moses recommended a diverse education. “I have no sympathy for those who think multicultural course work will cause them to door learn something unholy,’he said. “I recall chemistry and trigonometry being shoved down my throat when I first came to A&M. So, I think there’s a good reason to shove black history down students’ throats in 1995,i' they haven’t already learned it by now Just like your first bike or first pair of blades, your first new car is unforgettable excitement.
