The Fentastico Chronicles BY J. GOLDFLUTE PORT ARTIIUR (AP) — A third person has been arrested for the slaying of a 17-year-old girl who was fatally beaten with a beer mug. Port Arthur police have not indicated a motive for the July 13 death of Teri Ann Hardy. Her body was found a day lat er in a canal by two fisherman. James William I lornsby, 20, of the Port Acres area of Port Arthur, and Melisa Frazier, 23, of Groves, were arrested and charged with murder last week. The third suspect, Kevin Wayne Coffey, 30, was charged with murder Sunday, a day af ter his arrest by Groves police. Justice of the Peace Bob Morgan set bond for each at $250,000. In court documents, I lorns by is accused of beating Hardy in the head with the beer mug and Frazier of strane with an electrical cord is accused of helping^ stroy evidence and the body.

HAZING Iktclto Quantum fa? tht Physics MAXIM'S Guide to Women Adrian search Continued from Page 1 Cloning Continued from Page 1 and does not restrict the use of cloning technology to produce molecules, DNA, cells other than human embryos, tissues, organs, plants or animals other than humans. Stem cells are building blocks for all human tissue. The most versatile cells are derived from embryos discarded at fertility clinics, but some abortion oppo nents say it is wrong to use them for research. Opponents of the bill argued that the use of cloning technolo gy to create embryos for research purposes should be allowed. The Biotechnology Industry Association voiced its opposition to the bill in a letter to commit tee members that stated, “Cloning techniques in research are integral to the production of breakthrough medicines, diag nostics and vaccines to treat heart attacks, various cancers, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, hepatitis and other diseases.” An embryo is a clump of a few cells. How con you say to somebody who you could cure of a deadly disease 'we will not cure you because you are less important than a clump of cells.' ” — Rep. Jerrold Nadier Democrat The cloning research could also produce replacement skin, cartilage and bone tissue for burn and accident victims, the industry said. “In addition to shutting the door on important research, (die bill) will limit patients’ access to possibly life saving products,”' the industry said. For some, the debate became emotional. “An embryo is hu man life. It is not a speck of dust,” said Rep. Henry Hyde, an Illinois Republican and outspo ken abortion foe. “Is it appro priate to create human life in a petri dish and then destroy that life to get at a cell? I say no.” But Rep. Jerrold Nadier, a New York Democrat, retorted, “An embryo is a clump of a few cells. How can you say to some body who you could cure of a deadly disease ‘we will not cure you because you are less impor tant than a clump of cells.’ ” Democrats tried unsuccess fully several times during the hearing to offer amendments that would exempt research techniques from the ban. Meanwhile, the committee waded into another murky topic by passing by a voice vote a bill that would ensure that a fetus breathing when it leaves a moth er’s womb, even during an abor tion procedure, would be treat ed as a person under federal law. Nadier and other Democrats had initially opposed the meas ure, saying it was an attempt to chip away at abortion rights en shrined in Roe v. Wade. Tues day, Nadier told the committee, “Whatever concerns anyone may have had that this might be come some clever way to under mine the rights protected under Roe v. Wade have, I think, been addressed. ... I have little doubt that it will be passed without much controversy.” The Senate has already at tached the measure to patients’ rights legislation that passed earlier this month. Texas A&M are few, while de mand by the academic commu nity for such outstanding indi viduals is high. In addition, such individuals usually are satisfied in their current positions, which means they often have to be “sold” on changing jobs. “You have to know who you want and then go after them, whether they were proposed by a committee member or they applied,” she said. “A lot of good universities are looking, and I don’t think there are that many people out there that fit the bill.” Conoley said the committee may consider nontraditional ap plicants in its search. The Uni versity recently has appointed several high administrative po sitions to individuals who, while possessing academic experience, have specialized in managing non-academic institutions — such as Bob Gates, who served as director of the CIA before taking over as interim dean of the Bush School, and Graves, who served as superintendent of Westpoint Military Academy. Whoever the candidates, com mittee members said they will be expected to represent the multi faceted community of A&M. “The students of A&M, of course, have different opinions of what the president should be, but there are a few ideas that are shared by most,” said Schuyler Houser, the student committee member, student body president and a senior industrial engineer ing student. “He or she understand ;ind respect torv <>t WM, embrace ft® . r ues and traditionsofthecP^' 6 body and exhibit acb traCt W ' th for the future of A&M." | I louser said she gather as many student on the candidates as that the student voice be heard in the selectionprc®~i 11 “The other members e!” $ £ | (. up an impressive listoti®.| plished scholars and incrctg \ s ;1 talented people,” she said, mei I think it will be myresporiP- -*-b er ity to speak loudly and lei : Okla- one hear the voice of tb dents whom this L'mVerat preparing for vhetvnirt" Conoley said s\\e wi looking for individuals who prepared to deal with the ha: political and administrativetlneinen in vironment faced byacadi l%8, he vv leaders. 1> Bills’ R< “There are the obvious fill is man fications such as acomnutmetiall, drive student development, acadJoes not li rigor and quality scholaityhe walls c she said. “But I’m also lookin;B a ll 0 f p a someone who understand'Ohio.
