In the A1 Fawar refugee camp down the road, Palestinians calmly tried to justify suicide bombings by two men from their neighborhood who killed 23 Is raelis, two Americans and a Palestinian last week. With hostility running high on both sides, the mood on the street was as if Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin had never shaken hands at the White House. Hunting for Muslim militants who plotted four suicide bomb ings over a nine-day period, Is raeli soldiers deployed in most of the West Bank on Wednesday, in cluding areas that already were ceremoniously handed over to Palestinian police last fall. Troops demonstrated who is in charge, laying siege to the West Bank’s 465 towns and villages and confining Palestinians to their communities. Jeeps blocked dusty back roads and metal spikes were laid across asphalt streets to keep back motorists. There were no exceptions. No Palestinians entered Israel on Wednesday — neither ambu lances nor Palestinian Cory Willis, Thf Battalion PAYING RESPECT Alex Burch, a junior finance major and member of the Corps of Cadets, gazes upon a memorial wreath Wednesday honoring Charles David An tonie. The wreath is located in front of the Acad emic Building. Antonie was Burch's friend and a fellow Corps member. He died Feb. 24. First lady visits Texas, blasts GOP □ Clinton gained the endorsement of former Gov. Dolph Briscoe on behalf of her husband. Briscoe was governor from 1973-79. DALLAS (AP) — First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, taking her husband’s re-election cam paign to Texas, took a swipe at the Republican Party’s failure to fulfill many of the promises made in the OOP’s so-called “Contract With America.” “The only contract with America is the Constitution,” she told students at the South ern Methodist University law school Tuesday night. Last year, the Republican- controlled House approved most of the OOP’s “Contract with America’’ campaign promises, though few made it through the Senate and be came law. Clinton also lambasted the OOP’s budget-cutting proposal that would cut funding for Le gal Service Corp., which pro vides legal help to poor people. “The Legal Service Corp. was created by a bi-partisan Congress and signed into law by President Nixon with the idea that local legal aid pro grams would be funded to as sist millions of Americans with their legal problems — prob lems that would otherwise go unaddressed,” she said. Earlier in Uvalde, she picked up the coveted endorsement of former Gov. Dolph Briscoe on behalf of her husband. “I’m a great admirer of the tradition that Gov. Briscoe rep resents, and I am pleased to be here on behalf of the president to say thank you for your words of support,” Clinton said. The campaign stop, which came one week before the Texas primary, was aimed at shoring up support for Presi dent Clinton among the conser vative wing of the state’s Demo cratic Party. It marked the first time a first lady has visited Uvalde — a ranching town of about 15,000 located 80 miles west of San Antonio — since Bess and Harry Truman came calling in 1948 on former vice president John Nance Garner. Clinton and Briscoe went to great lengths to draw parallels between the two visits as they spoke to a crowd of about 3,000 on the lawn of Garner’s muse um home. They were accompanied by Briscoe’s wife, Janey, and oth er high-ranking Texas Democ ratic officials. “Mrs. Clinton, it is with the same warmth of Mr. Garner in 1948 and the same strong, com plete support that Janey and I welcome you and offer you that support to you and your hus band, the same as Mr. Garner expressed in 1948 to Mr. Tru man,” said Briscoe, who was governor from 1973-79. The first lady, after receiv ing a greeting and bouquet of yellow roses from Briscoe’s granddaughter, Muffin Marmion, emphasized her theme of helping children. Clinton said her husband ad vocates a voluntary television ratings system and the “v-chip” and teachers at a middle school in Corpus Christi. After Uvalde, she headed to Dallas for a speech sponsored by the School of Law of South ern Methodist University. But it was the Uvalde visit that highlighted the president’s re-election efforts in Texas. "The United States has never succeeded when it has tried to ... construct a wall around itself. We have to lead, and we have to have a president like a President Truman or President Clinton." — Hillary Rodham Clinton First Lady for parental discretion; a com petitive education system; uni forms for school children to pre vent strife over status-symbol clothing; and work programs to help anyone who wants to at tend college afford it. The first lady also referred to the coming campaign sea son, urging voters not to be swayed by opponents’ fear tac tics or those who adamantly advocate isolationism. “The United States has nev er succeeded when it has tried to pull up the gangplank and construct a wall around itself. ... We have to lead, and we have to have a president like a President Truman or President Clinton,” she said. Earlier in the day, Clinton visited with parents, students Townspeople came out in droves to see the first lady. “I have been impressed with what Bill has done,” said Tony Villarreal, a lifelong Democrat. “This will be the first time we’ve seen a first lady here. We’ll never see it again in our lifetime, probably.” Olivia De La Zerda, who at tended law school in the 1970s about the same time Clinton did, drove 75 miles from San Antonio for the event. “I drove over here all alone ... to pay tribute to her and thank her for everything she has done for women in Ameri ca,” De La Zerda said. A number of school children attended the campaign raltyi some of them holding signs say ing, “We love you Hillary.” PORKY’S HAMBURGER 8. OMON RING CO. 1037 S.
