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 der and aggravated kidnapping. Bosnian peace talks in Ohio suspended today DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Bosnian peace talks were suspended early today when it became apparent that an agree ment could not be reached on remain ing territorial issues, a Croat official said. 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 sored talks for settling the Balkan war to lead to an agreement. Tuesday • November 21 - 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. Gwendolyn Struve, TiifB Steve Dasbach, National Libertarian Party chaTj spoke at MSC Political Forum's presentationiT night. People resist force. When you force people todosM thing they don’t want to, they will Find a waytB around it. 'Phis results in more draconian penaltTr Programs based on coercion will not work L 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 will always have a two party system.

Py Michelle Lyons 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- pization’s ninth conference and will take place in the MSC. 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 APARTMENT LOCATOR FOR GRADUATING AND CO-OPING AGS SPECIALIZING IN: METROPLEX (Dallas, Ft.
