never planned on getting caught.
“Of all the punishments they said they’d hate
life in prison the most,” he said. “Life in prison is
horrible.”
Pickett described witnessing a 73-year-old man
leap to his death a day before he was to be
paroled.
“Nobody bothered to tell him ” he said.
Pickett also said that he once had three inmates
commit suicide in one night.
Audience members Judi and Vince Sweat said
they recently changed their opinion on the death
penalty after seeing Sister Helen Prejean, the
author of Dead Man Walking, speak in Kansas
advocating a moratorium on the death penalty.
“I think more people would support the death
penalty if we could be assured a life sentence real
ly meant life without parole,” Vince Sweat said.
Sophomore general studies major Nazer Taqui
said that Pickett’s speech was moving, and made
him look at both points of view: the victim’s fami
ly and the murderer’s family. Taqui. a practicing
Muslim, asked Pickett what the Christian viewpoint
on the death penalty was and why so much atten
tion had recently been focused on potential change.
Pickett said the Old Testament teaches “eye for
an eye” but that most Christians today follow the
New Testament: “Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you.” a more forgiving mes
sage of love, he said.
Pickett’s talk was sponsored by the Memorial
Student Center (MSC) Current Issues Awareness
(CIA) committee and the Catholic Student
Association (CSA).
Four executions are scheduled for this month.
A Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty
(TCADP) member who declined to be identified
said the group will protest Nov. 6, 19, 20. and 21
at the comer of Texas Avenue and New Main
Drive at 6 p.m., the $ame time as each scheduled
execution in Huntsville.
Bush says North Korea must
scrap nuclear weapons program
SPRINGFIELD. III. (AP) -
The Bush administration
showed little interest Sunday in
renewing official dialogue with
North Korea unless the commu
nist government first scraps its
nuclear weapons program.
A senior North Korean diplo
mat was quoted as saying his
country was willing to negotiate
with the Bush administration
over the newly disclosed
weapons program, which vio
lates a 1994 accord with the
United States.
“North Korea knows what it
needs to do. It needs to disman
tle its nuclear program and
honor its treaty obligations,”
White House spokesman Ari
Fleischer said aboard Air Force
One as President Bush headed to
Illinois on a political trip.
“North Korea in 1994
entered into a quid pro quo, and
it’s inappropriate for North
Korea say that we will walk
away from our quid, and ask for
more quo. They entered into an
agreement, they should abide by
the agreement, and that’s why
we’re working in concert with
our allies.”
North Korea’s ambassador to
the United Nations, Han Song
Ryol, was quoted by The New
York Times as saying,
“Everything is negotiable.”
He added, “There must be a
continuing dialogue. If both
sides sit together, the matter can
be resolved peacefully and
quickly.”
But Fleischer said: “It’s not a
question of talking. It’s a ques
tion of action,” getting rid of the
nuclear weapons program.
“North Korea should not
have abandoned its obligations,
and that’s what they’ve done. ...
North Korea gave its word and
didn’t keep it. North Korea
needs to keep it.”
The North Korean diplomat
said his government would con
sider allowing international
inspections of the uranium facil
ities. Asked if North Korea
would consider shutting down
its uranium enrichment pro
gram, Han said: “Yes, I believe
our government will resolve all
U.S. security concerns.”

MIAMI (AP) -
students who took
vate school in Florida this semester have
transferred back to public education, a
newspaper reported.
This summer, 607 students requested
taxpayer-funded vouchers to leave public
schools that received failing grades. As of
last week, 170 had returned to public
schools. The Miami Herald reported
Sunday.
In one county, Miami-Dade, 90 of 330 stu
dents who requested vouchers have returned
to public school — and more than two in
three were back in their original school.
Many returning students said they felt
more comfortable at their neighborhood
schools, even those labeled as failing. They
also cited trouble with transportation, and
more demanding curricula or firmer disci
pline at their new schools.
“I didn’t know the teachers and the prin
cipal there,” said junior Michael Seymour,
16, who returned to Miami Edison Senior
High from Archbishop Curley/Notre Dame
High. “I had to learn a whole new system
there, and I’ve already been through that
process once at Edison.”
Critics of vouchers, a cornerstone of the
education policies implemented by Gov. Jeb
Bush, said the returning students show that
vouchers are misguided.
But a spokeswoman for Bush
trend a triumph of school choice.
“No longer are these children
failing schools,” Katie Muniz sai . (
they have a choice — and sorne P
stay in their home school. These w
es they never had before.” „ tc rfl
