AUSTIN (AP) — The family of a University of Texas pledge who died during hazing is pursu ing legal action against a spirit group and others, although a grand jury has decided against issuing a criminal indictment. The Bastrop County grand jurors no-billed members of the Texas Cowboys on Wednesday after hearing evi dence in the drowning of Gabriel Benjamin “Gabe” Hig gins, who was a sophomore mechanical engineering stu dent at UT Austin. Higgins, 19, of Pocatello, Idaho, drowned April 29 while swimming fully clothed in the Colorado River near Bastrop at a Cowboys’ initiation ceremony, or “picnic.” An autopsy deter mined Higgins was drunk when he died. In September, the Cowboys were suspended by UT for five years for hazing. A Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission investigation is continuing into what laws might have been broken by those who provided alcohol to the underage Cowboys, said agency spokesman Ron Clinton. The university said the grand jury’s lack of action would have no effect on the Cowboys’ suspension, in effect until 2000. “The suspension was not re lated directly to the drowning,” said James Vick, vice president for student affairs. “It was for the hazing that was judged to have occurred at the event.” Scott Young, an attorney for the Cowboys, said he did not know what evidence was pre sented to the grand jury or rea soning behind the decision. “I’m pleased because I’ve got some clients who are relieved,” Young said. "They’re not under the stress anymore of waiting to see what the grand jury is going to do. Jack Price. “That’s probably a big disap pointment to the family,” sail Price of Austin. “The onlypefr pie involved were the Cowboys ... and they weren’t going toiii criminate themselves. Of course, Gabe Higgins wasni there to speak. It was probablya rough thing for the district attor "They're not under any stress anymore of waiting to see what the grand jury is going to do." — Scott Yomi Texas Cowboys’ attorn^ “They’re pleased that part of this should be over now, even though it doesn’t change the fact of the tragedy.” Timothy Higgins of Kansas City, Higgins’ father, referred questions to his attorney, ney to present.” Family members in Augusl filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Cowboys, six for mer officers and the man wht owned the land where tht drowning occurred. State’s floods kill one, drive thousands from Oregon homes □ The flooding is the result of a series of storms. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A mountainside moaned, then gave way in a rush of mud. Highways vanished beneath stinking, caramel-colored flood- waters swirling with uprooted trees and raw sewage. One girl was dead, a woman was missing, and thousands of Oregonians were driven from their homes. And the rain kept falling. As the state’s worst flooding in more than three decades threat ened to swamp downtown Port land, sandbags and concrete highway dividers formed a thin defense Thursday against the wide Willamette River. “Water’s going everywhere,” said Trase Myers, as he and others hurried to stack 40- pound sandbags against a building downtown. “I can’t be lieve the destruction the water has caused.” In the nation’s latest extreme weather in a winter of extremes, hundreds of roads — including both of Oregon’s cross-state free ways, Interstates 5 and 84 — were closed by high water or mudslides. Amtrak trains were halted. Gov. John Kitzhaber de clared 14 counties disaster areas. Amid the deluge, there were water shortages. Muddy flood- waters contaminated drinking- water supplies throughout the valley. Portland and Salem offi cials urged people to conserve water. Smaller towns shut down their water plants com pletely and told residents to buy bottled water. The flooding is the result of a series of storms that marched in from the Pacific beginning two weeks ago. The first were cold, piling up snow in the mountains that form a scenic backdrop to Portland — the Cascades to the east, the rolling Coast Range to the west. On Monday, a warmer storm stalled over the state, and the snow started melting, adding to the record rains — more than 5 inches a day in some areas. Sparkling mountain streams, narrow enough to jump across two weeks ago, turned mon strous, tearing through the for est, ripping small bridges apart. An estimated 1,500 people were forced from their homes in Eugene, and 12,000 in the Salem area, where a parade of U-Hauls, horse trailers and pickup trucks streamed through the rain.

Hart said the wom an’s question was inappropri ate and unprofessional. “It’s a Geraldo question,’ he said. “Expose yourself. Tell me what you’ve done. Go inside your soul and guts.” Hart said Bush responded in the formal, impersonal manner of a traditional U.S. president, a way that presi dents are no longer allowed to speak because television has become an intimate medium. “It was a little after this question that his presidency ended at 9:15 p.m. EST on Oct. 15, 1992, when he was caught looking at his watch while the debate was still go ing,” Hart said. Television is a powerful medium, he said, which makes political conversation easy and flippant. “We talk about politics with the same ease as Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie’s fated relationship,” Hart said. Vanessa Beasley, a visit ing A&M associate professor of speech communication / said Hart raised some into esting questions. “He obviously made stu dents think about their as sumptions on political issues,” Beasley said. Hart has written six books. His most recent one is titled “Seducing America: How Television Charms the Modern Voter.” Dr. Martin Medhurst, co ordinator of programs for the Department of Speech Communications and Presi dential Rhetoric in the Cen ter for Presidential Studies, said Hart was asked to speak at A&M because he is a leading authority on U.S. politics and presidents. “He’s right down the road,” Medhurst said. “It’s a waste for him to sit there and not make use of him.” His appearance at A&M was part of a lecture series that will lead up to the March 1-3 A&M Spring Conference on Presidential Rhetoric and Speech Writing.
