Myers' body was found in her car in an alley behind what is now Antone's nightclub, 2915 Gua­ dalupe St. At the time, a nightclub called The Still was at the campus- area site. An autopsy revealed that Myers had been strangled, raped and so­ domized. Lopez, w ho was a friend of My­ ers' boyfriend and worked with one of Myers' roommates, was questioned by police at the time. The case was turned over to the Travis County district attorney's office, but prosecutors thought the evidence would not support a con­ viction. If convicted, Lopez could face life imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. The trial, expected to last several weeks, is being heard in the Travis County Courthouse before visiting state District Judge Tom Blackwell.

But the American media is letting them get away with bla­ tant hypocrisy. Take the recent declaration by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that representatives ot the Irish Republican Army will no longer be allowed to give interviews to British broadcasters. Thatcher s actions would have been justified it they had only applied to IRA recruiting efforts, or attempts to incite violence. But the ban on media coverage extends to Northern Irish politicians, as well as terror­ ists, and represents an attempt by 1’hatcher to suppress political dis­ course in Britain. The American media gave the story one-time coverage, with little or no commentary. Like the institution ot a poll tax in Scotland last year, the incident was quickly swept under the rug by the press and the U.S. government alike. In contrast, w h en the Sandim stas temporarily shut down the c e n ­ tra's opposition new spaper earlier this year, the American press blast­ ed Nicaragua for its insensitivity to democratic principles. Meanwhile, the cold warriors used the Nicaraguan incident to justify sending millions of dollars to finance the brutal civil war the Central Intelligence Agency is sponsoring there Why is it that a similar response isn't evoked when the British use their socialist control over the media to frustrate political expression? Why isn't the CIA trying to overthrow good ol Iron Maggie? While it is pushing the definition to ->a\ the contras are a true nation­ alist movement like the IRA, the situations are otherwise exactly analo­ gous. The IRA, like the contras, are by a n y o n e’s standards a bloodthirsty bunch. W hatever else is true about the IRA, how ever, they are still a real political movement representing a large block of public opinion in Ireland. In 1987, they chalked up 11 percent of the total Northern Irish vote in the general election, and over one-third of the Catholic vote. Not bad for a banned organization. The political branch of the IRA, Sinn Fein, has even elected Gerry Adams to Parliament. But Adams has been unable to enter Britain to take his legitimately won seat because there is an exclusion order barr­ ing him from entering the country. Adams has now been denied access to the broadcast media despite his elected position. This denial of the Sinn Fein's political expression only affirms the terrorists' long-held position that Britain doesn t want change through the political system, and therefore drives the IRA to violence. Anti-terrorism tactics are one thing, but using the label of "terrorist to deny Irish dissenters political expression is a gross injustice. A statement of disapproval by the American government might have had some effect on Thatcher's dicta. But Washington s silence and the media's indifference instead conveyed tacit approval of Britain s o p ­ pression. — Scoff Henson S p e a k e a s y Maybe you could make him look like Robert Redford "I'm going to make him human and likable.

R a ja n S h a r m a GUEST COLUMNIST "E ach Sociologist Charles Horton Cooley aptly uses this couplet to define self-esteem, which is an image people carry of th e m ­ selves, based on the recognition they get from their peers. This reflection of o u r­ selves that we get in the eyes of others is biased like a flawed looking glass For many foreign and minority students at the University, the reflection is unattrac­ tive; their self-esteem has become low. Individuals form their self-esteem by o b ­ serving the actions and attitudes of others towards them, adopting these attitudes (often unknowingly) and then expressing them as their ow n. They value themselves as others regard and value them, and demean themselves to the extent others reject, ignore or demean them. Foreign students w h o come here to study seek acceptance in the new setting and yet feel so excluded that they resort to withdrawal. Some do report considerable integration in the classroom and extracurricular activi­ ties, but nevertheless note an undercur­ rent of rejection. Many find it disheartening that though classmates are friendly in school, there is the class­ interaction outside no social room. Progressively there is mutual w ith ­ drawal. The token presence of blacks and foreign students in the University facili­ tates, if not invites, white students to p re­ fer their own groups. is If an the individual's self-attitude product of reflected appraisal, it is safe to assum e that if a person is treated as an inferior on the grounds of ethnicity then his/her sense of personal value should a s ­ suredly be low. Many students strive for acceptance, but formidable barriers obstruct their way. Discrimination in financial aid, dearth of support program s and general lack of money all seem insurm ountable. Repeatedly, academ ic com petence of in­ ternational students is doubted. This p er­ ception is more marked in the liberal arts 99 Discrimination in financial aid, dearth of support programs and general lack of money — all seem insurmountable. 99 than in the sciences. In liberal arts the knowledge of the English is language thought to be a prerogative of the few. At the en d of a class, a friend from Thai­ land confided she was a different person at home. There has been a steep drop in her self-esteem ever since she cam e abroad to study. "1 know what to say but am afraid to speak up in class discussions be­ cause of my accent," she said. "T h ere is little encouragement for me to partici­ p ate." A student from Malawi said, "I do not feel involved in class discussions, since all references and examples are local. They never ask how it is in your cu ltu re." As a result, foreign and minority stu­ dents inculcate pernicious self-doubt. Stu­ dents develop a debilitating prejudice against them selves. They come to believe in their ow n inferiority. Io maintain sanity, som e take to co­ cooning. They use avoidance defences to minimize social interaction. Defenses per­ mit the individual to organize a cohesive and encapsulated self-picture. Soon, avoidance defenses dictate such people's behavior and determ ine social re­ ality to which they expose them selves. By retreating in their own world, they turn away from experiences that reflect unfa­ vorably on their self-picture, thereby pre­ serving an insulated but positive self-im- age. People are much more than what they think of themselves and what others think of them. Please don't underestimate any­ one. Let all people realize their own po­ tential. Sharma is a graduate student in journalism. F iring L in e in his Duke evades furlough blow Dukakis keeps saying that he changed the law regarding m urderers weekend furloughs, and Michael Mark of University Democrats pointed out letter ( "There Bush goes again ," Firing Line, Oct. 13) that Dukakis "tightened eligibility re­ quirements for the p ro gram ." Dukakis did tighten eligibility guidelines, but only be­ cause he didn't have a choice. It took 15,000 concerned citizens to sign a petition to get Dukakis to listen to them . Dukakis reply was: "I'v e listened to the criminals also ." Does M assachusetts have more crimi­ nals than concerned citizens7 And why does Dukakis care m ore about those out­ casts of society than those w ho obey the laws of society? Does the ability to break the law give one a bigger political voice? It took another petition of 52,000 people to get Dukakis' furlough program on the ballot to be voted out. Then and only then did Dukakis change his policy of rew ard­ ing first-degree murderers. What will it take this man to see his out-of-the-m ain- stream policies are not wanted? It's really nice of Dukakis to protect the rights of criminals to have a little fun on the w eekends, but what about the rights of the victims of these m urderers? What about the rights of society to punish crimi­ nals? It's more than a right. It's a duty. And apparently the only duty Dukakis is con­ cerned with is masking his liberal ideology long enough to achieve the presidency 1 hope he w on't cater to the Russians like he caters to criminals. Gene Riccetti Philosophy Bush should support GPRA Recent media attention on the homeless has underscored what members of the Na­ tional Academy of Sciences have called America's "national disgrace." On a larger scale, the fact that around the world, 35,000 children die each day as a result of chronic malnutrition and easily preventable and curable diseases is a glob­ al disgrace. If we can put shuttles in space and "FA X " documents instantaneously around the world, why can't we feed our people? Where are our priorities? To focus these priorities and bring an end to world hunger and devastating dis­ eases, Congress is presently considering the Global Poverty Reduction Act (GPRA). This legislation would m andate that the next president devise a plan whereby U.S. foreign assistance would have to produce specific, measurable goals, such as high female literacy and low child mortality. Gov. Dukakis has publicly endorsed the GPRA. And so have nearly 200 members of the House of Representatives, including our ow n Congressm an Jake Pickle, and a quarter of the U.S. Senate. Vice President Bush has not. This is not a partisan issue. It is a hu­ manitarian one. G eorge Bush should be strongly encouraged to support the Global Poverty Reduction Act now. Richard Bell, M. D. Austin resident Reveleis go every witch way Regarding the negative comments about Sixth Street's Halloween party plans (Sixth Street on Halloween to have free-spirited party, The Daily Texan, Oct. 17): Yes, you're right!

Thank you, Robert Bam stone, for re­ turning to the sizable chunk of Austin's ordinarily "kept in line" humanity — that one-night-only playground where lambs can mingle with lions, angels mix with devils; where even conservative, straight and narrow '80s wallflowers have been known to dance to the intoxicating lost rhythm s of a dangerously liberal, late-'60s m adness. If Sixth Street's newfound freedom dur­ ing Halloween's "call of the w ild" makes you hunger for last year's authoritarian blandness rather than an opportunity to immerse your mundane persona in a city- wide altered state, I advise you to stay in your "crowd-controlled" homes and wait for a more appropriate occasion like Flag Day to experience this often "untamed and random business called life."

Registration data to show adjustment requests for spring courses By LINDA MILCH Daily Texan Staff UT department heads will soon determine whether to open more classes next semester, a UT official said. Assistant Registrar Mike Wash­ ington said this week that after reg­ istration — which begins Monday — deans are informed of the de­ mand for various courses. They can then make adjustments in the num­ ber o f classes.

Monti said until registration offi­ cials collect data, he cannot specu­ late on how the projected increase in this spring will affect whether new classes are scheduled. re-registering students About 39,000 students re-regis­ tered last spring, Washington said. Speer said about 76 percent of fall enrollees will re-register. S o m e rea­ sons for not re-registenng are grad­ uation and uncertainty about future plans, he said. Washington said he expects no change in the registration process because of this fall's overenroll­ ment. More than 50,000 students enrolled this semester. "If you can handle 48 [thousand!, you can handle 50 [thousand]," Washington said. He also mentioned that one prob­ lem for the Office of the Registrar is a predictable rush Friday afternoon to turn in registration forms. "We would like to encourage stu­ dents to try to submit their forms as early as possible," Washington said. Washington said some colleges that are expecting a "big crunch" in advising are offering more hours. Students can register next week until 5 p.m. Friday. T he Daily Texan Sta te & L ocal Wednesday, October 26,1988 Page 7 Moderates prevail at Baptist convention By RON LUBKE Daily Texan Staff As expected, moderates re­ tained control of the Baptist G en ­ eral Convention of Texas on Tu es­ d ay, f u n d a m e n t a li s t attempts to win the two vice-presi- dency spots. d e s p ite Moderate candidates Phil Line- berger and James Hatley were elected first and second vice presi­ dent, respectively, and Pastor Joel Gregory of Fort Worth's Travis Avenue Baptist Church was elect­ ed by acclamation to the presiden­ cy. Lineberger, pastor of Richard­ son Heights Baptist Church in Richardson, and Hatley, director of missions of the Austin Baptist Association, defeated fundamen­ talist candidates Gordon Graham, pastor of the First Baptist Church of New Braunfels, and Uldine Bisagino, wife of Pastor John Bisa- gino of the First Baptist Church in Houston. Baylor officials said they were pleased with the defeat of the fun ­ damentalist candidates because of the recent fundamentalist attempt to take over the "crow n jew el" of Texas Baptist life — Baylor Univer­ sity. " W e have three strong people fair-minded who will nominate men to be elected to the [Baylor] board of trustees," said Randall Field, a director of the Laity for the Baptist Faith and Message. Field said the election of Grego­ ry, Lineberger, and Hatley during the 103rd annual session, held at Palmer Auditorium, will help de­ fend Baylor from the "h y p er-fu n ­ damentalists." Gregory said he considers him­ self neither a moderate nor a fun­ damentalist. At a press conference, Baylor President Herbert Reynolds re­ s p o n d e d f u n d a m e n t a l i s t charges that Baylor is straying from its mission of training ministers. to Reynolds said the fundamental­ ists' claims that Baylor has become "liberal" are unfounded rumors. "I am a conservative — almost all the people 1 know are conserva­ tive individuals — but we are not militant fundamental­ ists," he said. political Reynolds also said the funda­ mentalists, led by Houston Judge Paul Pressler and Paige Patterson, president of Criswell Bible College in Dallas, wanted to take over the Baptist church. Patterson denied all charges that fundamentalists have been plan­ ning a takeover for the past nine years, after fundamentalist Adrian Rogers became national president of the 1979 Baptist Convention. "T h e y [Baylor] need to make up their mind whether they're going to support a Bible with error or without erro r," Patterson said. "A s far as I'm concerned the Bible has no error. Reynolds allows for the I want changes." status quo and During W ednesday's session, the 2,519 messengers, or dele­ gates, will elect or re-elect one- third of the 48-member Baylor Board of Trustees. said that possibly eight to 10 members of the current board of trustees would like to see the fundamentalists take over.
