Irt t p://bat-we fc>. t a m u. e d u F The Battalion N ATION Quick vote by Congress unlikely o partial-birth abortion veto overrid fondi WASHINGTON (AP) — Don’t look for House and Senate Repub licans to make a rapid attempt to overturn President Clinton’s veto of legislation banning certain late- term abortions. They will wait until next year, closer to the 1998 congressional elections, before forcing Democ rats to cast their next vote on the politically sensitive issue. On a lopsided House vote of 296-132, the Republican-con- trolled Congress sent the legisla tion banning so-called “partial birth” abortions to Clinton’s desk last week. He vetoed it Friday, with considerably less fanfare than that which accompanied his rejection of a similar measure in 1996. The bill would have banned the procedure — which involves the partial delivery of a fetus, legs first, through the birth canal, fol lowed by drainage of its skull — except when needed to save a woman’s life. Clinton also favors an excep tion in cases in which a mother’s health is endangered. “As a result of this congres sional indifference to women’s health, I cannot in good con science” approve the bill, he said in his veto notice. Majority Republicans can at tempt to override whenever they wish. Several officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that won’t be until next year — possibly around the anniversary of the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling legalizing abortion, possibly around Mother’s Day or some oth er symbolic date. The issue is politically useful for Republicans. Abortion rights groups oppose the measure, which forces Democratic lawmak ers customarily aligned with those groups to cast a difficult vote. An override seems likely in the House, where the 296-132 margin of passage was more than the two-thirds majority necessary. The Senate earlier approved the measure on a vote of 64-36 — three shy of a veto-proof majority. “The president is confident his position can be sustained,” White "House spokesman Mike McCurry said Friday. Abortion foes gradually have been gaining strength in the Sen ate on the issue. Three senior De mocrats, including the party’s leader, Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, switched sides and voted for the ban last spring after oppos ing it earlier.

My daughter and my son went to Texas A&M. My brother was in the company that found Reveille.” Chandler said her husband, Tom Chandler, coached the A&M Baseball Team from 1959 to 1984. She said the team kept for 10 years a dog some Texas A&M football players found. “The night before the Thanksgiving game with the Universi ty of Texas, these A&M football players found a dog,” Chandler said. “We had that Aggie dog for about 10 years. I have a soft spot for dogs.” Dr. Donald Hulse, an orthopedic veterinarian and a professor at the A&M College ofVeterinary Medicine, performed the operation. He said the two weeks that elapsed between the operation and the accident complicated the surgery, but Marlin responded well. “Because his forearm was broken, we reduced the fracture and put the bone ends back together,” Hulse said. “We used a bone plate to stabilize it.” Hulse said the College ofVeterinary Medicine thanks the stu dents who donated money for Marlin’s care. “They spent some of their hard-earned money and we really ap preciate that,” he said. Dr. Renee Lara, the veterinarian at the Kingdom Animal Hospi tal who performed the first operation on Marlin, said she appreci ated the support from A&M students. She said additional funds will be used to pay for services provided by the hospital, including vaccinations and neuter ing for Marlin. “He should be able to have his stitches taken out in 10 days,” Lara said. “It will probably be several more weeks be Statue Continued from Page 1 hough, bee She also painted Reveille’s naiKlay after hh statue in honor of Texas A&M. xnild attem The statue is between the Pip- Mi- a ii Deg Conference Center, the library andrlen.

Leaders Continued from Page 1 “When I graduated 11 years ago, it was a rare thing to see women in lead ership roles on campus,” she said. “I was in the first class where women played in the Aggie Band. Today, there are females in leadership positions everywhere. It is not only significant that they are women, but it is that they are equally or better qualified.” Amy Callaway, an MSC MBA law committee representative and a junior management major, said she hopes to apply tiie ideas she learned at the forum to her role on campus. “It is very important for women to gain a better perspective ofleaiifp 11 ’' positions,” she said. “I hopetoap;! ideas and the perspectivesthai| from these influential womemii graduates ofTexas A&M.
