SAN ANTONIO (AP) — With dancers, fireworks
and balloons, a cadre of civic leaders tried yesterday to
persuade the Republican National Committee to bring
its 2000 party convention to town.
"We want you, we want you!” a lunchtime crowd of
about 3,500 people chanted as the OOP's site selection
committee visited the Alamodome.
Band students and a teen-age dance group provided
entertainment. The San Antonio Spurs' dancers acted as
cheerleaders at the event that felt a little like the prelude
to a pro basketball playoff game.
Spurs chairman Peter Holt and former Spurs player
Johnny Moore presented each Republican official with
a team jersey.
''What we wanted to show them today was the peo
ple of San Antonio and how hospitable they are to the
millions of people who come here every year,” Mayor
Howard Peak said.
The Republicans said they liked what they saw.
"The energy and enthusiasm in this community is
absolutely incredible,” Jan Larimer, chair of the RNC
site selection committee, said.
Earlier, the RNC officials attended a private
two-hour briefing to hear the city's proposal to
host the convention. More than $18 million in city
and private money would pay for costs associated
with the convention, which would be held in the
65,000-seat Alamodome.
Party leaders were serenaded by mariachi bands
when they arrived Sunday and were treated to dinner
on the grounds of the Alamo that evening.
San Antonio is competing with Philadei'
York, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Mi
Charlotte and Chicago for the 2000 convent
The list will be cut to three citiesbv:
the summer.
San Antonio lost to San Diego in its bid
1996 Republican National Convention.
This time, civic leaders hope hotel room
been added since then and the well.
Republicans working on the local host tel
including co-chair Tom Loeffler, will helped
land the event.
Site selection committee members wot
whether the fact that lexas Gov. GeorgeWj
been mentioned as a possible Republican c;!
candidate would work in San Antonio'sfav«
''We are not getting into the politicsofv;
doing, we are getting into the facilities," hr:
The RNC had requested that 20,000 hotel:
accessible for the convention.
The local host committee has said app:;
22,000 will be available, with about 8,000c:
downtown and within walking distann
Alamodome for convention delegates and afe
The RNC's hotel experts still are meebn;
Antonio officials about the location of tl
Larimer said, though the Republican leaders
elaborate on exactly what is being discussed
"Each city is different/' RNC chair Jim
said. ”1 haven't seen anything disabling at
your hotel situation here."

New study daims Southern education gains over past , nBl .
Carolina and Texa:
tion and are trying to improve it : : i
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) —
Southern states have made gains
in education over the past 10
years but haven't reached the
goals set by a regional group to
measure progress, the author of a
study said Monday.
The school dropout rate is sub
stantially lower today than it was in
the 1980s and more pre-elemen-
tary students are in classes. But
adult literacy still is a problem as is
the number of college freshmen
taking remedial courses, said the
report prepared by the Southern
Regional Education Board.
"What it shows is a continued'
impact of political decisions
Southern states started making in
the early 1980s requiring students
to complete more rigorous, chal
lenging curriculum," Joseph
Creech, the report's author and a
director of the regional group, said.
"It shows the results of what can
happen when you have a sustained
effort. But you have to be patient
and stick to it."
Creech cited North Carolina,
Kentucky, Texas, Georgia and
Maryland as states where policy
over a long term. He said South
Carolina was beginning a program
to boost public education.
"You won't see the result of a
preschool program in next year's
graduating class, Creech said.
"Twelve years from now, maybe."
Members of the SREB are
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia and West Virginia.
The report measured 1 3 indica
tors, from readiness for school and
student achievement to teacher
education and funding. The report
is the fifth biennial progress report
issued by the group.
Increases in publicly funded
kindergarten programs in the
region have outpaced the national
increase, the report said, and
enrollment in the programs
accounts for half of the public
enrollment in the nation.
More students are scoring high
er levels on achievement tests and
