Texas Tech newspap
: Battalion
protests court decisi
LUBBOCK (AP) — The Univer
sity Daily, the student-run news
paper of Texas Tech University,
published an issue Thursday with
little more than the word “censor
ship” throughout its pages in
protest of a U.S. Court of Appeals
decision to allow Kentucky State
University to withhold yearbooks
from the student body.
Student editors at the paper say
they are trying to draw attention to
a decision that could “destroy” the
freedom of student media at public
universities.
“I’ve been following this case
for a couple of years because it
has really bothered me,” Wayne
Hodgin, editor of The University
Daily and a senior journalism ma
jor, said. “At first, we were just go
ing to write an editorial, but late
last night we felt like we needed
to take a strong editorial stance
for the students of Kentucky State
University and the student media
at Texas Tech.”
The issue has the words “THIS
IS CENSORSHIP” in huge bold-
print letters under the banner and
contains an editorial inside. In the
spaces where stories would nor
mally appear, the word “censor
ship" is repeatedly printed. Ad
vertisements in the paper appear
as normal.
“The Supreme Court
has never said that
a publication must
be of a certain quality
or that the color of it
must fit someone’s
tastes.”
— Wayne Hodgin
The University Daily editor
The protest revolves around a
case that began in 1994, when
KSU administrators in Frankfort,
Ky., confiscated nearly 2,000 year
books because they were of “poor
quality,” and because the domi-

Lake Jackson Police Chief Paul A. Hromadi. ck .
CLUTE, Texas (AP) — Lake Jackson police are in
vestigating a college student’s claim that State Sen. J.E.
“Buster” Brown made unwanted sexual advances to
ward her while they worked in his office last week.
Tiffany Black, 20, of Angleton, quit her job as a
clerk in Brown’s office and filed a written complaint
with police on Sept. 2, the day of the alleged incident.
No charges have been filed.
“I’m working diligently to clear up this matter,” the
57-year-old Brown, who is married, told The Facts
newspaper of Brazoria County Saturday.
Brown, the top-ranking Republican in the Texas Sen
ate, has been mentioned as a possible contender for the
lieutenant governor’s position should Rick Perry succeed
Gov. George W. Bush, if he wins the presidency.
Black, a student at Brazosport College, reportedly
had worked in Brown’s Lake Jackson office for about
a year.

Bush: Son a ‘rambunctious’ ch
Former president: Texas governor has right to ignore drug qu
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former
President Bush said son George
was a “rambunctious” youngster
who never gave his parents reason
to believe he used drugs and is
right not to answer further ques
tions about the issue.
The elder Bush is not advising
George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential
campaign — “1 don’t want to al
ways be in the game anymore.” He
also hopes Americans elect some
one who can live up to “the very
high standards” for the White
House that Bush said Bill Clinton
has failed to meet.
The former president, defeated
by Clinton in 1992, discussed var
ied topics in a television interview
from his family home in Kenneb-
unkport, Maine.
A transcript was released before
its scheduled broadcast Monday
night on the Fox News show “The
Edge with Paula Zahn.”
“All this stuff about George’s to
tally irresponsible past, we never
saw it,” the ex-president said. “Bar
bara and 1 never saw this. We knew
he had some problems hut — that
he faced up to, but no different
than most kids.”

The younger Bush, the Republi

recalled an episode when the
