George W. Bush, who was on the campaign trail Wednesday, got a double dose of criti cism in his home state. Civil rights groups demanded that Bush seek the resignation of the state health commissioner over his comments about teen pregnancy and 1 lispanics, wbile some Republi can women urged Bush to block new pol lution permits in Houston, the nation’s smog- giest city. Members of several advoca cy and minority groups, mean while, called on the Republican presidential nominee-in waiting to de mand the resig nation of Texas “The irresponsible and bigoted statements is sued by Texas State Health Commissioner Dr. William R. Archer III have caused great harm to all Texans” — Gil Gamez member of the Texas League of United Latin American Citizens Health Commissioner Re\Tt Archer. Archer has been under tire since say ing earlier this month that 1 lispanics arc culturally resistant to the idea that “get ting pregnant is a bad thing.” “If I were to go to a Hispanic com munity and say. ‘Well, v\c need to get you into family planning,’ they say, ‘No, I want to be pregnant.’ ’’ he told The New York Times. Archer issued a written apology and followed up with an in-person apology to state lawmakers. But on Wednesday, the Texas f ree dom Network, League of United Latin American Citizens, Mexican-American Legal Defense & 1 ducational Fund and Rainbow Coalition said apologies weren’t enough. “The irresponsible and bigoted state- ance of racism and sexism,” said Samantha Smoot, direc tor of the Texas Free dom Network. “These questions will persist until Commissioner Archer re signs.” said Smoot, whose group was founded in 1995 to counter the po litical power of religious conservatives. Archer “has no plans to resign.” said his spokesperson. Doug McBride. “Again, he regrets the wrong im pressions. He’s apologized. He’s look ing forward to w orking with all Texans to address the public health issues of all Texans,” McBride said. Bush spokesperson Mike Jones said the governor is satisfied with Archer's apology and w ouldn’t seek his resignation. “Dr. Archer has explained and apologized for his awkward and inar ticulate language and explained his true positions. Teen pregnancy is a se rious problem in every segment in so ciety and that’s why the governor has addressed it as a priority in Texas,” Jones said. “Governor Bush does not tolerate racism in any form.” The - ush chool of Government & F*ublic Service Texas A&M University Graduating in May with a BA or BS?

News in Brief Snickers shoplifter to get new trial TYLER (AP) — An East Texas man sentenced to 16 years in prison for swiping a $1 candy bar will get a new day in court after a judge found evidence of jury mis conduct during his trial. Visiting Judge Gene Ater ruled Tuesday that Kenneth Payne III de serves a new trial after two jurors admitted that Payne's failure to tes tify in his case was considered dur ing deliberations. The two also said a fellow juror, a former corrections officer, told ju rors that Payne would still get out within four or five years, even if they gave him a 16-year sentence. Judge Ater set Payne's bond at $3,000 and scheduled a new trial for June 26. However, Payne bond out of jail because au ties are holding him for ape: revocation. nail to anybody in th place.
