Shandra Subia, a senior psychology major, turned over her Chevrolet Blazer after hitting an east-
bound car. She was turning left onto Bizzell St. from University Dr. Shandra is from Copperas Cove
and plans to graduate in August.
Olympics

then reinjured it on July 12. No
amount of injections, pain-killers
or therapies seemed to help.
“These two injuries, especially
the second one, are proof that the
Olympic Games are not meant for
me,” he said resignedly.
Devers’ disappointment put
only a slight damper on a hig day
for the American Olympians, who
have a shot at surpassing their
Barcelona medal haul of 108.
The U.S. women’s basketball
team and six American boxers
are undefeated and in the
Olympic semifinals. America’s
wrestlers, inspired by the memo
ry of slain 1984 Olympic champi
on Dave Schultz, took two golds
and a silver Wednesday. Ten
nis’s Lindsay Davenport
clinched a medal, then broke
down in tears after beating her
best friend and teammate, Mary
Joe Fernandez.
It was a big day for Africa,
too. Nigeria stunned soccer pow
erhouse Brazil 4-3 in overtime,
setting up a gold medal show
down with Argentina. Hezekiel
Sepeng won the silver medal in
the men’s 800, the first medal
for a black South African.
And the newest Olympic
event continued: Carling, the
pursuit of an unearned spot on
an American relay team. The
lone entrant: Carl Lewis, who’s
trying to parlay his long jump
gold into one last Olympic
chance.
Two other American track
stars, sprinter Michael Johnson
and decathlete O’Brien, set the
stage for a big Thursday night at
Olympic Stadium. Johnson,
seeking an unprecedented gold
medal sweep, runs in the 200-
meter final three days after his
victory in the 400. He qualified
for the race Wednesday.
O’Brien, who didn’t qualify
for Barcelona, had the lead
through five of the 10 decathlon
events with 4,592 points.
O’Brien’s 1992 failure attracted
attention, because it under
mined a “Dan & Dave” sneaker
campaign with Barcelona
bronze medalist Dave Johnson.
The hoopsters, led by Lisa
Leslie’s 35 points, beat under
sized Japan 108-93. Leslie’s
scoring binge set a U.S. wom
en’s record.
The United States plays Aus
tralia, which defeated Russia 74-
70, in Friday’s semifinals. The
gold medal game is Sunday night.
Three more U.S. boxers —
Antonio Tarver, David Reid and
Floyd Mayweather Jr. — guar
anteed themselves medals
Wednesday with victories. The
Americans will pick up a mini
mum of six bronze medals in
Atlanta, with Mayweather de
feating 125-pound Lorenzo
Aragon of Cuba.
It was the first win by an
American boxer against Cuba
since Leon Spinks did it in 1976.
Light heavyweight Tarver, a
pre-Olympic gold medal favorite,
used a mid-second-round flurry
to take control against Enrique
Flores of Puerto Rico. Tarver’s
big left hands finally ended the
fight 1:54 into the round.
Reid survived a third-round
standing 8-count to defeat Mo-
hamed Marmouri of Tunisia in a
156-pound bout.
Tennis’s Davenport clinched a
medal along with three freestyle
wrestlers — Kurt Angle, Kendall
Cross qnd Townsend Saunders.
Cross took gold in the 125 1/2-
pound class and Angle did the
same at 220, while Saunders won
silver in 149 1/2-pound division.
The medal totals Wednesday:
the United States 72 (27 gold, 30
silver, 15 bronze), Russia 45 (21-
16-8) and Germany 43 (11-12-20).
Davenport earned her medal
by beating fellow American
Mary Joe Fernandez 6-2, 7-6 (8-
6) in the semifinals.
“I was playing someone who’s
my best friend,” said Davenport,
who was crying after the match.
“I don’t want to go out there and
see her lose.”
Awaiting Davenport is Aran
txa Sanchez Vicario of Spain,
who defeated Jana Novotna of
the Czech Republic 6-4, 1-6, 6-3.
Fernandez will attempt to win
her second bronze medal in as
many Olympics against Novot
na; she also earned a spot in
Saturday’s doubles finals with
partner Gigi Fernandez.
China’s fabulous Fu Mingxia,
the 17-year-old who already de
fended her platform gold medal,
swept the Atlanta diving events
Wednesday with a gold in the 3-
meter springboard. The flying
Fu became the first woman since
Ingrid Kramer of Germany in
1960 to win the springboard and
platform events in one Olympics.
One person who shared
Bubka’s feeling was six-time world
champion Rebecca Twigg, the pre
mier U.S. women’s cyclist. She
quit the team and will not compete
this Saturday, apparently due to a
feud with national coaching direc
tor Chris Carmichael.
Reform party’s ballots ready to be mailed
DALLAS (AP) — The first wave of ballots to
select a Reform Party candidate were pre
pared Wednesday to go into the mail as part
of the new third party’s politics-through-the-
post-office plan.
This time, officials hope they have more suc
cess reaching party members than they did with
surveys to narrow the field of candidates to Ross
Perot and Richard Lamm.
The surveys as well as the ballot mailings are
being handled by the Perot Reform Committee,
which leads the Reform Party and is bankrolled
by Texas billionaire Perot.
The ballots will continue to be mailed through
Saturday, said Russ Verney, national coordinator
for the Perot Reform Party. Voters can cast their
ballots by telephone, attending the convention, by
computer modem, or by mail.
“Whatever has been received by Aug. 17 will be
counted,” Verney said. The party will announce its
nominee on Aug. 18 in Valley Forge, Pa.
So far, the Reform Party has qualified for the
ballot in some fashion in more than 30 states, the
latest success coming in Iowa on Wednesday.
Verney said the task of creating a party has
been overwhelming.
“I’m totally consumed in getting this second mail
ing printed and in the mail stream,” Verney said.
The nomination survey mailings did not reach
many party members, triggering nationwide com
plaints, from people upset that they did not get
the chance to participate in the process.
“I think that you have to look at the first ones
almost-as a pilot test because it was the first time
that list was used,” said party spokeswoman
Sharon Holman.
