Helms breaks away from
Congressional Club
WASHINGTON (AP) — For more
than 20 years, Sen. Jesse Helms and
"The Club" — whether known as the
Congressional Club, the National Con
gressional Club or the current Conserv
ative Club — were inseparable.
Formed in 1973 to retire Helms'
debts after his first campaign for the
Senate, the club became a national
network for raising millions of dollars
from conservatives. And it ran the
North Carolina re-election campaigns
that sent Helms back to Washington
for three more terms.
Not next year, when the 73-year-
old Republican seeks a fifth term. In a
bitter, public split with his old friends,
Helms says he will run on his own.
Helms says he hopes to spend far
less money next year than he has in the
past. His 1984 race against Gov. Jim
Hunt set a then-record for a Senate race,
with the two candidates spending more
than $26 million.
Pope emphasizes
compassion and morality
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Saying
intolerance can lead to "a true night
mare of violence and terror," Pope
John Paul II warned the nations of tne
world Thursday of the dangers of ex
treme nationalism and called for soli
darity between rich and poor.
"In an authentic family, the strong
do not dominate; instead the weaker
members, because of their very weak
ness, are all the more welcomed and
served," the pope told the 185-mem
ber United Nations General Assembly.
The United Nations "needs to rise
more and more above the cold status
of an administrative institution and to
become a moral center where all na
tions of the world feel at home," the
pope said.
Poverty level declines,
but poor get poorer
V WASHINGTON (AP) — The per
centage of Americans in poverty
dropped under 1 5 percent last year to
38.1 million, the first year in a decade
that both the rate and total declined.
There were no signs the gap between
rich and poor was closing.
The report, coming as Congress argues
over cutting programs that aid the work
ing poor, followed other recent signs of
declining poverty including a decrease in
Americans collecting food stamps.
However, the total was still 5.6 mil
lion above 1989, when the poverty
rate was 13.1 percent," Census Bureau
statistician Daniel Weinberg said
Thursday in releasing the report.
□ Although a 60-day
halt to the fighting in
Bosnia has been agreed
upon, problems remain
in the way of a final
settlement.
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) —
Bosnia’s combatants agreed on
Thursday to a 60-day cease-fire
and new talks bn ending their 3
1/2 years of carnage, taking one
big step closer to a peace settle
ment that U.S. troops would
help police.
The accord on the cease-fire
was reached during United
States’ strongest press yet for
peace in Bosnia. In announcing
the agreement, President Clinton
in Washington acknowledged that
unresolved problems remained
before it takes effect Tuesday.
NATO planners said they
would hasten work on a military
force to help enforce an eventual
peace arrangement. The United
States would commit roughly
20,000 troops to such a force,
but is saying they would not en
ter Bosnia until a final peace
deal is signed.
Citing progress toward peace,
the United Nations announced it
could cut its troops in Bosnia by
Cadets

Kyle Robinson, a senior psy
chology major and A-l command
ing officer, said that even though
there is no direct connection be
tween Bebe and A&M, the cadets
have learned to love Bebe.
“She is in a really bad situa
tion, and this isn’t about mowing
her yard or babysitting her chil
dren,” Robinson said. “It is about
taking care of people and helping
out when they need it.”
Robinson said the closeness
shared between A-l members is
evident in their actions, and help
ing Bebe is a way to show the
freshmen how present and former
cadets take care of each other.
“If any of us were in Mike’s sit
uation, we would want someone
to take care of our wife and kids,”
he said. “We are more than an
outfit; we’re a family.”
At a recent reunion of former
A-l cadets, Bebe told her hus
band’s friends what the cadets
were doing for her. They were
thrilled and shocked that the
cadets still take care of Bebe and
her children, she said.
“They just couldn’t believe they
were still helping me,” Bebe said.
“It made them very proud they
were a part of unit A-l.”
When Bebe first moved to Col
lege Station, A-l cadets were at
her house, offering every spare
minute of their time.
“We woulcl go out there on
weekends, during weekdays in

H More than 100 Croatian army regulars
had crossed into northwestern Bosnia over
the last two days and could signal a new
joint counter-offensive.
m The Croatian army is massing artillery
near Dvor, to which they were forced to pull
back after losing territory previously seized
from the Serbs.
SI There has been a significant increase in
fighting near Serb-held Doboj, where a
government offensive is under way.

9,000 troops, or one-third of its
force in Bosnia. It was not
known how long the with
drawals would take.
the morning and afternoons,”
Robinson said. “Whenever cadets
didn’t have classes, they were
helping Bebe.”
Bo Arnold, a junior business
major and first sergeant for A-l,
said the yard looked horrid when
they first started, but he is
amazed at how nice it looks now.
"We don’t mind doing the yard
work for Bebe because it is a re
ward and very satisfying to know
we are helping her,” Arnold said.
A-l cadets still visit Bebe on a
regular basis to mow the lawn,
babysit her three children or help
her with anything she needs.
Robinson said he’s learned
how to wallpaper and also take
of children.
“We will continue to help her
until Bebe moves or makes us
quit,” he said.
Bebe is not allowed to pay
the A-l cadets for their ser
vices, but she does cook them
dinner in return.
“Her way of paying us back
is to cook us dinner after we
mow the lawn or do a job for
her,” Robinson. “It gives us a
chance to relax and spend time
with the kids.”
Robinson said helping Bebe
is not a service in the tradition
al sense, but a mutual service
because Bebe gives the cadets a
warm-cooked homemade meal
and a place to get away from
campus.
“They have been friends and
people I know I can call for
help,” Bebe said. “Plus they
also give me somebody to cook
for besides my children.”
