Corps Commander Steve Foster
briefed his commanders Sunday
evening with the final decision.
Freshmen also are not
allowed to run if they have a
class after 4:30 p.m. and during
call to quarters (study hours).
After this block of time, fresh
men may resume running on the
Quad as before.
“I had to come up with some
thing that’s enforceable,” Foster
said. "I’m ready to get on with
the school year and put this
behind us.”

‘Cheerleader Mom’
gets 10-year term
HOUSTON (AP) — “Cheerleader
Mom" Wanda Webb Holloway plead
ed no contest Monday and received
10 years in prison but could be eli
gible for freedom in six months.
Her plea came less than a month
before she was to be retried on
charges she hired a hit man to kill
the mother of her daughter’s cheer
leading rival.
“Everyone was in concurrence
that if she were willing to do this, it
would be the best for everybody,"
explained Jack Zimmermann,
Holloway’s attorney. “It’s obviously
not the best for her, because it
involves being in custody.”
Holloway could be eligible for pro
bation in six months, her lawyers
say. Prosecutors say they will fight
such a request.
The 42-year-old woman was
convicted in September 1991 of
solicitation of murder and sen
tenced to 15 years in prison and
a $10,000 fine.

Clinton promises
safer plane travel
WASHINGTON (AP) — Promising
safer skies, President Clinton issued
orders Monday to tighten airport
security and challenged Congress to
support a $1.1 billion anti-terrorism
crackdown.
“Terrorists don’t wait,” the presi
dent said. “And neither should we.”
Clinton unveiled the proposals in
an Oval Office ceremony designed to
reassure jittery Americans after last
year’s Oklahoma City bombing and
the explosion of TWA Flight 800 less
than two months ago.
“As a result of these steps, not
only will the American people feel
safer, they will be safer,” the president
declared of the proposal that comes
just two months before the election.
The White House Commission on
Aviation Safety and Security, which
unveiled its recommendations last
week, formally presented them to
the president Monday.
