With House GOP legislators marching in lockstep behind their leadership, oppo nents of deregulation are focus ing their efforts on the Senate, said Kyle Carlton, an A&M stu dent who testified against the bill in a committee hearing. “1 could never support giving total control of tuition to a body of unelected officials,” Carlton said. “Administrators and regents have little incentive to keep tuition low.” Carlton, a former student senator, said he and student leaders from universities across Texas are working to defeat the House bill. Although deregulation has become a par tisan issue in the House, with the Republican majority in support of it, a great deal of skepticism remains in the Senate, Carlton said. One suggestion student advocates are discussing with legislators would require admin istrators to hold a student refer endum before raising tuition beyond the rate of inflation. In comparison to the House bill, the Senate bill is more friendly to students because it helps resolve the temporary budget crisis with a modest tuition hike, but without giving control over future tuition rates to universities, Carlton said. “All that’s needed is to raise the (tuition) caps,” Carlton said. “(Deregulation) is a long-term solution to a short term problem.” Hasten was elected to I Illinois House Representatives, where I served six years ’ before te elected to the U.S. Houst Representatives in 1986.

Mayra Ruiz, 19, told the newspaper she was proud Anguiano was from her community. “Even if this is a moment of grief, they should be proud of all he’s done,” she said. “The spirit and memories of Edward Anguiano will always be among us, to inspire us and remind us of the sacrifices of war. We will never forget the deeds of this brave young man,” said U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi. Anguiano was in the 3rd Infantry Combat Support Battalion out of Fort Stewart, Ga. He was traveling with the 507th Maintenance Company, a unit from Fort Bliss in El Paso, when it was ambushed. Nine soldiers were killed and six, all with the 507th, were taken prisoner.One prisoner, Pfc. Jessica Lynch, was rescued April 1; five soldiers were released April 13 and returned to the United States on April 19. Drum Continued from page 1A in this weekend for addi tional testing. One team conducted three tests, but the tests “were not totally conclu sive,” Novikov said. The second team, a spe cialist Mobile Exploitation Team, “suspects that it might be rocket fuel,” Novikov said. That team is expected to return to the site in the com ing days for further tests. “There is a chance that it could be chemical weapons, but we don’t know for sure,” Novikov said, speaking outside of the 4th Infantry headquar ters, a former palace in Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit, near Baiji. Also found at the site were two unmarked vans that soldiers first suspected to be mobile chemical labo ratories. Inside the vans were three cylinders for mixing liquids and a dosage chart in English and Russian. Green camouflage netting was draped across the front of one of the vans. Novikov, however, said the vans “could be” a rocket fuel mixing station. Near the site was a low, brown sandstone building that had 150 gas masks that are of a higher quality that those usually used by Iraqi soldiers. The initial tests on the barrel were conducted late Friday by Lt. Valerie Phipps and Pfc. Jeremy McCullough, chemical warfare experts with the 1st Squadron of the 10th Cavalry Regiment. wen dairy until mid-June, saidDaii) Science Center manager Cl Cordell. “We’ll have cows to June 13,” he said. “We I heard anything after that.” Cordell said the dairy wol not officially close until June 13. “We’ll still continue to ate with our heifers,” he sail “But a lot of employees leaving after June 13.” Lance Williams, a Center employee and a sopto more general studies said dairy employees continuing other efforts tosa« the dairy. “We have contacted Dairy alumni and are ge calls back from them askin how they can help,” Williait said. “We’re basically operating like we’re not to shut down.” Dairy employees have creal ed a Web site and passed out fl) ers to advertise their cause students.
