Woman's desire for baby
blamed for murder
ADDISON, III. (AP) — Jacqueline
Williams concocted a plot with her
boyfriend and another man to shoot
and stab a pregnant woman.
According to police, they killed the
former girlfriend of one of the men and
stabbed to death her 10-year-old
daughter, then sliced open the dead
woman's abdomen with scissors and
plucked out a healthy boy.
They abducted the infant, who was
due to be born Monday, and the slain
woman's 8-year-old son, then slashed
the older boy's throat and dumped his
body in an alley.
A judge Monday ordered the three
held without bond on charges of mur

Bosnian peace talks in
Ohio suspended today
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Bosnian
peace talks were suspended early today
when it became apparent that an agree

It was unclear whether negotiations
would resume later in the day or
whether the move marked the end of
the three-week peace conference here,
he said.
The official spoke on condition of
not being identified by name.
In the United Arab Emirates, a
Bosnian official was quoted today as
saying he did not expect U.S.-spon

Libertarian Party chair says
government is force, coerck
□ Steve Dasbach said a change in
outlook is needed in society if
people want safe streets, affordable
health care and economic security.
By Lily Aguilar
The Battalion
Individual civil liberties, the decline of govern
ment popularity and the growth of the Libertarian
Party took center stage at MSC Political Forum’s
presentation last night.
Jay Manifold, Texas Libertarian Party chair,
quoted fellow party member Tom Isenberg of Wash
ington, saying, “The Republicans and Democrats are
boldly rearranging, reforming and reinventing deck
chairs on the Titanic, hoping we voters don’t notice
the iceberg.”
Manifold read a letter from a concerned citizen to
the Chicago Tribune, describing his experience at a
game checkpoint after a hunting trip.
The man wrote that he and his friends were
forced from their vehicle and made to wait for 90
minutes in 40-degree weather while four agencies,
including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms and the National Immigration Service,
searched their car.
“We don’t like to think this could be true in the
land of the free and the brave,” Manifold said, “but
I’m afraid this is true.”
It is the responsibility of the citizens tn keep cer
tain powers out of the hands of the government, Man
ifold told the audience of 42 students. Past govern
ments have seen revolt and protest when people were
forced to obey laws they did not support, he said.
“In 1 Samuel, the people of Israel came asking for
a king,” he said. “Maybe the most striking part of
the passage is that the people got a 10 percent tax
rate and slavery. We should be so lucky.”
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights have
strong foundations in the Magna Carta, Manifold
said, but many of the ideas expressed in the counties
founding documents would be turned down by Con
gress today.
Steve Dasbach, National Libertarian Party chair,
said a change in outlook is needed in society if peo
ple want safe streets, affordable health care and eco
nomic security.
“When theory and reality collide, reality wins,”
Dasbach said. “A number of years ago, people had a
comforting notion that the planets, the stars and the
sun revolved around the Earth. It took Copernicus
to make a paradigm shift to make people see the
Earth revolves around the sun.”
“I hope we are in a paradigm shift. These shifts
can be uncomfortable.”
Government is force and coercion — only since
government became involved has medical care sky
rocketed, Dasbach said.
“Crime, education and welfare went from minor
problems to being the major scandals they are to
day,” he said. “If you don’t want to use coercion,
don’t use government.”
“This explains why government does not work.

bach said, so government programs are set up:
ure. Today’s problems all have solutions, he sa r i
government is not the place to seek the solutions!
Dasbach said the Libertarian party is inis
position to grow because neither the Democrat*
the Republicans recognize the core problem-!
ernment cannot do what it promises to do,I C
are calling for a third patty, he said, and Ross*
ot’s movement is not the answer people are seek*
“I don’t think Perot's party will change pi
ment fundamentally," he said. “It is too indebii-
the old parties ... ”
“Even if Perot’s patty platform was enactd l:
entirety, nothing much would change. Real:- L
parties are controlled by the grass-roots. I:fT\
things are moving in a Libertarian direction.' L/ (
The Libertarian Party has the largest incresp
new voter registrations, Dasbach said, andhly Mi
doubled the number of elected and appointed hi B
holders. People are not wasting their vote by L
ing a candidate who is not a Democrat or R: |da
can, he said. ^
“If you want real change, you have to v lolly
what you believe, for what you want,” h 6 ski itory

The Batt alion
Texas A&M’s MSC Commit
tee for the Awareness of Mexi
can-American Culture is
preparing for their annual Con
ference on L.atino Affairs.
The program, which will be
held February 8-11, is the orga-

The theme for this year’s con
ference is “Nuestra Center
Echoes of the Past, Voices of the
Future” and is expected to bring
in more than 500 participants
from across the Southwest.
Each year, CAMAC brings in
prominent speakers from
across the nation to speak on
Latino issues.
Lorena Raya, CAMAC public
relations co-coordinator and a
junior biology major, said that
the conference should raise
Latino awareness.
“Our basic goal is to educate
not only Hispanics, but non-
Hispanics, too, on important
Hispanic issues,” Raya said.
“We want to make the com
munity aware of what the His
panic cultures go through and
how we can learn from the past
so we can improve the future.”
The conference will consist of
concurrent sessions on a vari
ety of subjects, and will include
a banquet and a dance with a
