THE BATTAHOl
Pro-war demonstrators
hit the streets in the U.S.
By Mike Branom
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Thousands rallied this week
end in support of President
George W. Bush and U.S. troops
in a possible war against Iraq,
turning their criticism to anti
war protesters and France’s
opposition to military force.
About 500 people gathered in
Alamo Plaza in San Antonio on
Saturday to voice support for
Bush and about 2,000 people
turned out at an Orlando rally
that featured a reading of the
Gettysburg Address, while
another l ,000 prayed and
marched in Pensacola.
“I was so saddened to see so
many in our nation not support
ing our troops and our country,”
said Naval Warrant Officer
David Wolff, a Desert Stonn
veteran who arrived at the
Pensacola rally in uniform.
“This is very uplifting.”
Rallies were also held in
Indianapolis and Washington
state, where more than 2,000
people gathered for a pro-war
rally in Bremerton, home to a
naval station where the aircraft
carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson
departed last month.
Anger against last weekend’s
protests, which drew millions
worldwide, was apparent.
Echoing a slogan from the
1960s, one placard in Orlando
read: “America — Love It or
Leave It.”
ii
I can't
understand people
not supporting our
president at a time
like this.
— Nancy Goya
Alamo City Republican
Women
“The antiwar protesters last
weekend are aiding and abetting
Saddam,” said Sherri Tabb, who
attended that rally. “Saddam has
gotten emboldened, he is not
cooperating. War is the only
solution.”
The rally in San Antonio, a
city with three Air Force instal
lations and one Army post,
came a week before the dead
line set by chief U.S. weapons
inspector Hans Blix for Iraq to
begin destroying some of its
weapons.
Although many antiwar
marchers said they
U.S. troops, their message la
week was clearly anti
said Nancy Goya, with l
City Republican Women.
“I can’t understand \
not supporting our presidenu
a time like this,” she said.
A handful of antiwar pro'
testers showed up at the even,
holding signs that read “Drop
Bush, Not Bombs” ami
“Republicans Against War.”
They were quickly sur
rounded by pro-Bush rally-
goers who blocked their signs
with American flags, the San
Antonio Express-News report
ed in its Sunday editions.
Another target was France
which has stood in the wayofa
U.N. resolution authorizing
force against Iraq. “Use your
emergency duct tape to gag
(French President) Jacques
Chirac,” said one sign at tin
Orlando rally.
Retired Air Force Col,
George “Bud” Day received
loud applause when he loli
Pensacola rallygoers:
“Terrorists thought they could
bring war on us, intimidate us
and cow us. When we sta
them American power they'll
take off like a bunch of scared
rats.”

He and the other officers were unable to iden
tify where the shots originated from because the
crowd blocked their view, he said.
Police have still not discovered who fired the
shots.
Wiatt said UPD’s intent was to get the students
off campus.
Some event attendees did move off campus,
congregating at the McDonald’s parking lot locat
ed at 111 George Bush Drive West in College
Station, Vick said.
At 1:50 a.m., while some officers were han
dling a weapons violation in the McDonald’s
parking a lot, a fight broke out in a large crowd
standing nearby. When CSPD officers attempted
to arrest one of the suspected aggressors, the
aggressor resisted and struggled with the officers,
according to the police report.
Some crowd members became hostile toward
the officers, and more officers were called in to
help disperse the crowd, the police report said.
When some people interfered with arrests, fights
again broke out within the group. Only after offir
cers made several arrests did the crowd began to
leave, the report stated.
Tristan Duane Putman, a 19 year old from
Kyle, Texas was arrested on charges of assaultam!
resisting arrest; Warren Anthony Roberson, a 2(1
year old from Hempstead, Texas was arrested ona
charge of disorderly conduct; Nigel Juan Jackson,
a 21 year old from Texas City, Texas was arrested
on a charge of interfering with public duties; and
Anthony Mario Gonzales, a 20 year old from
Dallas was arrested on charges of resisting arrest
and interfering with public duties. None of those
arrested attend A&M.
Organizer Maco Faniel said the target audience
for the event was Texas A&M students, and on a
larger scale, college-aged students in Texas and
beyond.
Wiatt said some of the attendees did not appear
to be students.
Faniel said Kappa Alpha Psi, the national
ternity sponsoring the event, is not releasing
statement on the disturbance.
Faniel said, despite the later disturbance, tte
event was a success.
“This is the only event of its kind in Texas,
shows the taste of diversity A&M has to oil
Faniel said. “All of our goals were accomplished
in the event.”
Robinett said the event was meant to com
memorate stepping as a part of the history
blacks, and appropriately fell during Bk
History Month.

agencies and private companies assess their vul

“If it became an open record, it would be a
blueprint on how to blow the place up,” Scott
Gilmore, Allen’s chief of staff, told the Austin
American-Statesman.
A third category would close all records detail
ing the existence or location of components that
could be used to make weapons of mass destruction.
Lawmakers, often citing terrorism or identity
theft, have filed other bills that would affect pub
lic access to government records:
— Rep. Jaime Capelo, D-Coipus Christ!, pro
posed allowing Texas port operators to meet in
private to discuss security and to keep their secu
rity plans confidential.
— Sen. Jon Lindsay, R-Houston, would close
meetings and records of hospitals and
districts.
— Rep. Suzanna Gratia Hupp, R-Lampasas
filed a bill that would shield the names of peoplf
issued permits to carry concealed weapons,
said the bill would serve as a greater deterrent to
crime.
— Rep. Tony Goolsby, R-Dallas,
restrict access to the forms for seeking
tax exemptions. The forms usually contain privtf
information, making elderly Texans particularl!
susceptible to fraud, Goolsby said.
— Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio,
posed requiring public officials to coi
promptly with requests for public documef
instead of waiting the 10-day maximum respond
time allowed by law.
Other bills would close the discharge recorJi
of military veterans filed with county clerks
offices, also prompted by concerns about identi
ty theft.
