are not given equal rights.”
Gender equality is a funda
mental human right. Peebles said.
This week Fits in with A&M
President Robert M. Gates’ goal
to increase diversity awareness,
Peebles said.
“This year we have a little bit
of everything for everyone includ
ing litigation, athletics, education
and military,” Peebles said.
Men should not be discour
aged to participate in this week’s
events, Peebles said, because the
week provides an outlet for envi
sioning their daughters' futures.
Peebles said Women’s Week is
not intended to be a feminist rally.
“Appreciating women’s con
tributions and realizing where
women society needs to be more
well-rounded is different than
feminism.” Peebles said.
Women's Week will kick off
today with a luncheon featuring
keynote speaker Nancy W.
Dickey, president and vice chan
cellor of the A&M Health
Services Center.
Women’s progress awards
will be given to women who have
demonstrated awareness and sen
sitivity to women's issues and
helped to improve women’s sta
tus at A&M, Bethman said.
These awards will be given to
students, staff, faculty and the
administration.
Tuesday there will be an ath
letic panel at Cain Hall that will
discuss how Title IX has impact
ed sports and recruiting at
A&M, Peebles said.
On Wednesday, Susan
Golden, professor of biology at
A&M. will speak about women
in the workplace. Thursday will
feature a Corps of Cadets panel
on women in the military.
“Roads need to be made for
women,” Peebles said. “Unless
we are forced to think about it,
we don't realize it’s a problem."

said. “In July of last year he relapsed, and he is
expected to go through another two-and-a-half
years of chemo.”
English said the first year of chemotherapy is
the worst because of all the injections and pills her
son has to take.
“He’s a little angry at times,” she said. “When
things are going bad, and when the treatment is
rough he is very upset.”
A fever of unknown origin, possibly by a mos
quito bite, is believed to have triggered Clayton’s
condition, Melanie said.
“We were told that we all have cancerous cells
in our bodies and that most of us have the ability
to fight off these cells,” she said. “His body was
too weak to fight.”
Melanie said Clayton’s favorite hobby is shoot
ing skeet. He loves to play sports and is currently
playing basketball, she said.
“If he feels well enough, he plays,” she said. "If
he can't handle it, then his coaches take him out.”
Joe Dieckert, a friend of the English family,
said Clayton is in relatively good spirits.
“He tries to be happy-go-lucky,” he said, “but
it is very tough with an ailment like that.
“Even though he has a rough time, he is still a
very loving child and very smart.”
Dieckert said that despite everyone’s best wish
es, there is a good chance Clayton may not survive.
Melanie said Clayton’s chance of survival goes
up with every passing day.
“We’re just looking for as many prayers as pos
sible,” she said.
The two-and-a-half years of Clayton’s first
treatment went by very fast, she said.
“We’ve noticed that the days do in fact fly by,”
she said. “We just hope they fly by as fast as they
can until he’s hopefully cured.”
Osborne said CFAO plans to make this type of
fund raising an annual event.
“We’re hoping to do it again around April of
next year,” she said.
District 17 race
heats up before
GOP primary
WACO, Texas (AP) — Cow
manure polluting Lake Waco has
become a major issue in the
District 17 congressional race, but
it’s not the only mud flying between
the two Republican front-runners.
On the eve of Tuesday’s
Republican primary election, state
Rep. Arlene Wohlgemuth and for
mer school board member Dot
Snyder continue battling for a
chance to unseat U.S. Rep. Chet
Edwards, D-Waco, in November.
District 17, which stretches 180
miles southeast from Hood and
Johnson counties and includes
Baylor and Texas A&M universi-
NEWS IN BRIEF
ties, was redrawn to favor the GOP
in last year's Republican-led con
gressional redistricting effort. It
now includes about one-third of
the old District 11, which Edwards
has represented for 13 years. It
also includes President Bush’s
Crawford ranch.
The race has been tame for
months, with television ads and
mass mailings simply touting
accomplishments and conservative
values. But in the past week, the
tone has turned downright dirty.
One Snyder ad — complete with
a talking cow bellowing
“WohlgeMOOth” — says the state
lawmaker opposed efforts to clean
up Lake Waco, which has been
polluted by dairy farm waste
upstream in the Stephenville area.
Another ad claims Wohlgemuth
voted for millions in new taxes and
fees and “voted with the
Democrats for more spending” in
the Legislature. A Snyder brochure
says Wohlgemuth broke her “no
new taxes pledge’’ in 1997 and
has cost taxpayers more than $5
billion by voting for certain bills.
Wohlgemuth's new brochure
says Snyder voted to raise proper
ty taxes every year she was on the
Waco school board and overtaxed
residents by nearly $14 million.
It also says Snyder was on the
board of Waco's Planned
Parenthood of Central Texas, and
the word “pro-abortion” floats
above Snyder’s photo in a TV ad.
Each candidate has called the
other's claims false or misleading.
