T h ro u g h o u t A m erican history, each g e n era ­ tio n has p assed on lead ersh ip to the next. T hat tim e has com e again, the tim e for a new genera­ tio n of le a d e r s h ip fo r th e U n ite d S ta te s of A m erica," said Gore. In choosing the tw o-term Tennessee sen ator, C linton w en t against the old m axim of balancing the ticket and the new m axim that Congress is a bad place to shop for national leadership. In a joint appearance, th e tw o m en said they sto o d for stro n g fam ilies, a clean e n v iro n m en t and a grow ing econom y w ith benefits for all — a likely preview of issues to arise in the three-w ay race w ith G eorge Bush and Ross Perot. C linton said he and G ore share the values they learned in their hom e tow ns of H ope, Ark., and C a rth a g e , Ie n n . — " in d iv id u a l re sp o n sib ility , h a rd w o rk , faith an d fam ily, an d th e idea th at p e o p le w h o w o rk h a rd and p la y by th e ru le s should be rew ard ed w ith the A m erican dream ." Clinton, 45, and Gore, 44, both have struggled w ith the political issues of the tim e in w hich they cam e of age. Both have a d m itte d trying m arijuana in their stu d en t days, an d both struggled over w h eth er to serv e in V ietnam . W hile C lin ton n e v e r served, G ore joined the A rm y. They d id n 't m e n tio n th a t p a st on T h u rsd a y , instead em phasizing the future in the w ords and style of their announcem ent. C linton's nom ination as the D em ocratic presi­ d en tial c a n d id a te at next w eek 's conv en tio n in N ew York has been a sure thing for weeks, w hich left his choice of a running m ate as the only tan­ talizing unknow n. The m en first em erg ed alone in to the b rig h t sunshine outside the A rkansas governor's m a n ­ sion, and th en w ere joined by th eir w ives and school-age children. C linton said he v/anted in a ru n n in g m ate "a father who, like m e, loves his children and shares m y h u n g e r to tu r n th is e c o n o m y a ro u n d , to change our country and to do it so that w e d o n 't raise the first generation of children to do w orse than their p arents." Gore, w hose wife, Tipper, conducted a success­ fu l c a m p a ig n to g e t m u s ic c o m p a n ie s to p u t w arnin g labels on recordings w ith sexual lyrics, challenged the Republicans on the issue of fam ily values.

THURSDAY'S DOW JONES: 3.324 08 UP 30.80 VOLUME: 208.151.300 \ Unspent aid tagged for domestic use House OKs bill despite Bush veto threat Associated Press W A SH IN G TO N — The H ouse a D e m o c ratic p la n a d o p te d Thursday shifting hundreds of mil­ lions of foreign aid dollars to job- c re a tin g tra n s p o rta tio n projects, ig n o rin g a v e to from President Bush. th re a t By 213-190, the H ouse chose to use unspent foreign aid and domes­ tic fu n d s for ro a d -b u ild in g an d o th er projects. The goal: creating w hat sponsors said w ould be p er­ haps 125,000 jobs in the teeth of an election-year recession. "T his econom y has co llap sed ," said Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., the m e a s u r e 's ch ief s p o n so r. " T h is country n e e d s ... jobs." Bush ad m in istratio n aid es said they w ould urge the p re sid e n t to veto the en tire $35 b illion tra n s ­ portation spending bill containing th e s h ifte d s p e n d in g , sa y in g it would be better to use the unused dollars to reduce the budget deficit. The vote came a week afte r the n a tio n a l u n e m p lo y m e n t ra te jum ped to an eight-year high of 7.8 p e rc e n t, a so b erin g s ta tistic th a t m ade the prospects of job creation an enticing one for lawmakers. "W ouldn't it make more sense to invest in jobs for America" than in foreign aid, asked Rep. Robert Roe, D-N.J. Earlier, the House voted 268-143 fo r an a m e n d m e n t by H o u se M inority Leader Robert Michel, R- 111., th a t w o u ld h av e re q u ire d unspent dollars to be used on deficit red u ctio n . But th at m easu re w as d is c a rd e d w h e n th e H o u se approved the Obey measure. O bey's p roposal p ro v id es $400 million for spending next year and au th o rity to spend an ad d itio n a l $2.2 billion over the next several years. Congress would later have to vote that additional money. The AFL-CIO endorsed the pro­ posal, saying it is critical to reliev­ ing unemployment. But on th e floor of the H o u se, R e p u b lic a n s sa id it w o u ld te a r dow n the "firew alls" the two par­ ties built in a formal agreem ent in 1990 to com partm entalize govern­ ment spending and use any savings to reduce the budget deficit. " I t's the reason people are d is­ gusted w ith this place," said Rep. R o b ert W alk er, R -Pa., of th e D em ocrats and their plan. "T hey can't stand up for honor, and they can't stand up for law. The budget ag reem en t is being b ro k en rig h t here in this chamber." It is a flagrant violation of our ow n self-im posed firew alls," said Rep. Lawrence Coughlin, R-Pa. "If we are ever going to get any kind of grip on the deficit, we can't simply ignore the rules we impose on our­ selves ju st because they begin to pinch a little." But Obey said the spending shift is e s s e n tia l to c re a te job s an d breathe some life into an economy struggling to recover from a stub­ born recession. "It's about time to recognize that the economy has changed, require­ m ents have changed and it's time we changed w ith it," O bey said. We ca n 't p u t on a b o okk eeper's eyeshade and blindly adhere to an agreem ent that is two years out of date." Democrats lost a similar fight in March w hen they proposed shifting billions of dollars from defense to d o m e stic p ro g ra m s an d w ere d e fe a te d b y c o a litio n of a R e p u b lic a n s an d c o n se rv a tiv e Democrats. The bill includes: ■ $17.1 billion for federal h igh­ way aid for the states. ■ $9 b illio n fo r th e F ed eral Aviation Adm inistration, including m oney for air traffic control and in s p e c tio n s , n ew fa c ilitie s an d equipment. ■ $405 m illio n in g ra n ts to Amtrak. ■ $3.8 b illio n fo r th e F ed eral Transit A dm inistration, including financing to help local transit sys­ tems pay for new buses and other improvements.

Associated Press Democrats seek further Iraq investigatio Associated Press WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Democrats on Thursday asked for appointm ent of an inde­ pendent counsel to investigate possible criminal m isconduct by senior Bush adm inistration offi­ cials concerning U.S. prew ar policy toward Iraq. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jack Brooks, D- Texas, announced the move after a caucus of the p an el's Democrats generated 20 signatures for the request to Attorney General William Barr. Brooks and his colleagues asked that the coun­ sel investigate: ■ W hether law s w ere violated in p roviding U.S. assistance to Iraq prior to Saddam Hussein's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait. ■ Whether the administration illegally falsified documents given to congressional panels looking into the policy, and withheld other inform ation from congressional investigators. ■ W hether the White House interfered in the federal investigation of more than $4 billion in loans to Iraq by the Atlanta branch of an Italian bank, some of them taxpayer-subsidized com ­ m odity loans. Such a probe could be loaded w ith election- year significance, focusing attention on President Bush's efforts to use U.S. loan guarantees and other rew ards to m oderate Baghdad's behavior — a policy the administration now admits was a failu re. T here is g ro w in g ev id en ce th a t U.S. favors for Iraq, far from encouraging moderation, h e lp e d S ad d am b u ild u p h is m ilita ry an d advance his missile and nuclear, chemical and biological w eapons program s — and that top officials in the administration knew it. Justice D epartm ent spokeswom an Mary Kate Grant acknowledged receipt of the committee's letter and said it w ould be handled norm ally under procedures set out in the law. T h at law re q u ire s the a tto rn e y g eneral to advise the committee within 30 days whether he has begun, will begin or refuses to begin a p re ­ liminary inquiry into the allegations — and why. If he begins a preliminary inquiry, the depart­ m ent would have until early October to decide w h e th e r th e re is e n o u g h ev id e n c e to seek appointm ent of an independent counsel. Even then, Barr still could ask the three-judge panel that would appoint the counsel for an addi­ tional 60-day extension — which would delav the decision until after the Nov. 3 elections. The inde­ pendent counsel law itself is to expire on Dec. 15. Columbia paves way to space station with marathon mission Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — C olum bia touched dow n T hursday a day late and a continent aw ay from its plan n ed landing site to end the longest-ever shuttle flight.

The shuttle sw ooped across a clear sky an d la n d e d on th e c o n c re te ru n w a y at Kennedy Space C enter an ho ur after su n ­ rise.

Kennedy Director Robert Crippen, a for­ m er astronaut, greeted the crew and said shuttle com m ander Richard Richards told him "they could have stayed up there for m any more days." C olum bia's seven-m em ber crew had to spend an extra day in orbit because rain also fell W ednesday at Edwards. They traveled 5,758,000 miles and circled the w orld 221 times.

" I t's a significant m ilestone," C rippen said. "I was proud of the way it (Columbia) performed and I think that the science that was accomplished on board was also a pre­ cursor of the kinds of things that we can do in orbit by staying up longer." Crippen said both Columbia and its crew looked fine. The astronauts were hustled off for medical tests and later were to head to Houston, hom e of NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Violence returns to N.Y. neighborhood; 14 arrested NEW YORK — P rotesters skirm ished with police Thursday night in a neighbor­ h o o d sh a k e n by v io len ce sin ce police killed a m an last week. Fourteen dem on­ strators, most of whom police described as outside agitators, were arrested and five officers were injured. Less than an hour earlier, two other offi­ cers were injured when a large firecracker exploded near their car, police spokesman Andrew Mclnnis said. H undreds of helmeted police continued to p atro l the streets of the W ashington H eights section of n o rth ern M anhattan after w id esp read violence M onday and Tuesday nights prom pted by the killing of the neighborhood man. The arrests Thursday night were on dis­ orderly conduct charges and five officers s u ffe re d m in o r in ju rie s in th e clash, Mclnnis said. He said most of those arrest­ ed were "outside agitators," not from the W ashington Heights area. The calm W e d n e sd a y a n d e a rly Thursday was in sharp contrast to the two p re v io u s n ig h ts, w h en d e m o n s tra to rs burned cars and buildings and police were attacked w ith bullets, firebom bs, rocks and bottles. Before Thursday, police made 139 arrests in disturbances. The unrest was prom pted by the police killing of Jose Garcia, 23, on July 3. Police said Garcia w as a suspected drug dealer carrying an illegal handgun, but neighbors said he w as a law -abid ing m an w hose killing was unprovoked.

Brazil negotiates debt crisis Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Brazil and foreign bankers said Thursday they had low­ ered the curtain on one of Latin Am erica's longest-running shows: the debt crisis. P re s id e n t F e rn a n d o C o llo r d e M ello announced T hursday a "good agreem ent" w ith fo re ig n b a n k s — m o st of th em American — that eases repayment terms for $44 billion owed by Brazil, the developing w orld's biggest debtor. T he d ea l still faces fin a l a p p ro v a l by Brazil's senate and hundreds of banks. But C itic o rp , th e lead bank n e g o tia tin g the accord, said in a statem ent that the agree­ m ent signals "the final close-out of the debt crisis am ong the m ajor economies of Latin America." E cono m y M in iste r M arcilio M arq u es Moreira said the accord closed "a long chap­ ter of problem s and opened another filled with opportunities." Said Moreira: "W e've turned a page that has been weighing heavily on our shoulders since 1982," w hen Mexico began m issing payments to foreign bankers. But some analysts were not yet ready to predict an end to the debt crisis. "It's not the end, but a truce," economist Ruben Dario Almonacid of the University of Sao Paulo said in a telephone interview. "I d o n 't know if you can neatly provide crises w ith b e g in n in g s and e n d s ," said Guillermo Estebanez, an analyst at Moody's Investors Service in New York. "Brazil is not very different today than it was yesterday. Brazil is the sam e country w ith the sam e problems and the same inflation. The debt is slightly lower and that's it." Brazil was the last and largest holdout on a continent that owes well over $400 billion ab ro ad . B raz il's $115 b illio n d e b t is the biggest in the Third World.

Scientists discover gene influencing learning Associated Press WASHINGTON — Researchers have dis­ covered a specific gene that influences learn­ ing. Lab mice lacking the gene — which also is present in hum ans — can't figure out a w ater-filled m aze as well as their norm al kin. Researchers confirmed the influence of the learning gene by studies using "knock-out m ice," an engineered m u tan t that lacks a specific p art of the genetic p attern in the brain. Losing the gene is like "closing the gate to one type of learning," said Charles Stevens, a H ow ard H ughes Institute neurobiologist at the Salk Institute. In most other ways, the m utant mice are normal, he said. Tw o stu d ies, in volv ing th ree d ifferen t research groups, are to be published Friday in the journal Science. Jeanne Wehner, a University of Colorado researcher who tested the effects of the miss­ ing gene, said the m u tan t m ice ap p ear to lack m uch of the norm al ability to relate their location within a maze to objects visi­ ble outside. This type of m em ory is called spatial learning. The m utants, she said, "seem to be very m uch im p aired " in rem em bering how to return to a specific spot in the maze. Mice that w ere related to the m utants but h ad normal genes had little trouble in returning to a target location, time after time, and were adept at using outside cues. In other forms of learning, said Wehner, th e m u ta n t m ice a p p e a r to be n o rm a l, though testing continues. The mutants, how ­ ev er, a re m o re fid g e ty an d c o n tin u e to exhibit a "startle effect” that norm al m ice o v erco m e. Both of th e se re a c tio n s a re thought to be related to the missing gene. The m utants are missing a gene that caus­ es th e fo rm a tio n of a specific chem ical. C alled a -c a lc iu m -c alm o d u lin -d e p en d en t kinase II, or CaMKII, the chemical is abun­ dant in parts of the brain. Earlier studies, in both hum ans and animals, had shown that dam age or disease in these brain parts could cause a loss of spatial learning ability or of mem ory and that experimental drugs block­ ing CaMKII had a similar effect. Based on this, Alcino Silva and Susumu T o n eg a w a, H o w a rd H u g h e s M edical In s titu te re s e a rc h e rs a t M a ssa c h u se tts In s titu te of T ec h n o lo g y , re m o v e d th e CaMKII gene from a line of laboratory mice and then b red several generations of the m utated rodents. Once the breed was established, Stevens and Yanyan Wang, another H oward Hughes investigator at the Salk Institute, tested the b ra in s of th e m ice for the p h y sio lo g ic al effects of the missing gene. Stevens said that except for the missing CaMKII, the mice ap p ear to have norm al brain formation. Electrical signals seemed to speed normally through the nerve structures of the brain, he said.

The ju d ge also recognized this route was m ore prudent, because his decision, he said, probably would be autom atically appealed to Though the plaintiffs argue a court m aster w ould p rov id e the only e ffectiv e m eans to am eliorate the fun d ing problem s, M cC ow n would have contributed to the erosion of leg­ islative responsibility. No longer are legislators willing to take the necessary steps to make the tough decisions affecting us all. All too often disputes get kicked up to higher courts and agencies when state and local representatives fail to resolve them . W hether th ey 're fights over redistricting, spring flows in the Edwards Aquifer or equalized education funding, local officials have given up and told the courts, "Here, you take it." But McCown's ruling does not provide them that option. Moreover, his actions — if there are no appeals — will force the legislators to act in order to keep the schools open and may provide the precedent needed to reverse this trend of legislative helplessness. T he ju d g e 's r u lin g , h o w e v e r, d o e s n ot promise an absolute way out from further judi­ cial in terv en tio n . As d efen se atto rn ey Earl Luna said, "If the Legislature d oesn't act by June 1, 1993, this court is going to have to take som e action, but we think the action at this time is prem ature." But it still provides enough incentive for legislators to hammer out a deal suitable to all. No official would like to go back to his dis­ trict and say he let the schools state-wide shut down. ■ ■■ Bill Clinton crossed the Rubicon Thursday when he selected Albert Gore as his running mate. Arkansas' governor is rolling the dice by choosing the senator from Tennessee. Gore is an electable D em ocratic m oderate — unlike M ichael Dukakis, Walter M óndale and G eral­ dine Ferraro. hut Clinton may have erred by relying too much on this Southern Strategy. The party has failed to capture the South and thus the White House in years past, but banking so much on these tw o can d id ates is a crap sh oo t fo r the Democrats. Perhaps it's an indictm ent of the party that they could n ot find a D em ocratic lead er as d y n am ic as G ore in a n o th e r s ta te , sim p ly because one does not exist. And one would have thought that decades of gerrym andering would have produced at least one more. Education system must be privatized Public education is the most Jeff Hutchison TEXAN COLUMNIST sacrosanct of all the mediocre sacred cow s of liberalism . A lth ou gh ed u catio n has n ot always been provided by the state, public education is regarded as distinctly "A m erican " instead of being recognized as another form of socialism . This explains why attem pts to privatize education, such as Christopher Whittle's Edi­ son Project, are met with polite skepticism if not outright opposi­ tion. But, contrary to the rantings of illiterate fat bosses of education unions, free-m arket educational ventures represent the future of quality education in America. During the early years o H h e rep u b lic, p aren ts p riv a tely financed schools through fees, and some supplementary finance was available to parents who could n o t ' pay. As nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman has noted, while not free or com pulsory, private education was available to most. But the same irrational, warm and fuzzy impulse that today inspires the call for socialized m edicine also m otivated H orace M an n 's 19th century crusade for socialized ed u cation . Su p p o rt for M an n 's cam p aign w as m ain ly derived from the narrow self-interest of teachers and administrators who benefitted through the increased job security of public education. One of the worst results was the d epersonalization of education. Since a common schooling system based on re g ressiv e taxation replaced the consum er-oriented fee method, parents began to lose incentive to be involved in their children's education. Centraliza­ tion exacerbated this problem as the au tonom y of lo cal sch ool boards was compromised by state committees run by autocrats like Ross Perot. Public schools had no incentive to im prove since their custom ers w ere hand-delivered them by the state — only the rich were left with educational choices. As a result, costs have skyrocketed as quality has plummeted. Whittle plans to spend $60 mil­ lion of his company's own money and raise $2.3 b illion to build a 200-cam pus nationw ide private school network by 1996. Whittle envisions 1,000 preschool through high school campuses educating two million students by 2010. He has hired Benno C. Schmidt, a for­ mer Yale president with a spectac­ ular fund-raising record, to head the project. The tuition cost will be $5,500 per pupil, slightly below the average cost per student in a pub- lie school. Twenty percent of stu­ dents will receive scholarships. All of this will be made possible by a series of innovative cost-reducing measures. The Edison Project will extensively utilize volunteers and cut back on adm inistrators, psy­ chologists, guidance counselors, food se rv ices, tra n sp o rta tio n , librarians and other assorted items that drag down the public system. Because of W h ittle's Channel One sponsorships, many assume the Edison Project is a commercial gimm ick. This is not true since, according to Schmidt, there will be no selling of space above black­ boards or billboards in the hall­ ways as some suggested. The pro­ ject is not a m arketing gimmick but, as Whittle admits, an effort to profit by stream lining education w hile boosting quality. Parents who send their children to Edison Project schools will do so because they consider them superior to public schools. And despite educa­ tion bureaucrats' mealy-mouthed rh etoric o f com p assion for stu ­ d en ts, they cou ld not care less abou t w h eth er p ro fiteers are exploiting our children. What trou­ bles the establishment is the possi­ bility that the Edison Project will expose the inferiority and obsoles­ cence of the present system. Thus, educational "p rofessio n als" fear they m ay actu a lly have to do something they h aven't done in decades — teach. Although W h ittle's proposed curriculum m ay place excessive emphasis on technology and voca­ tional training, his basic concept is sound because by providing par­ en ts w ith a ch o ice W h ittle's schools will increase the general level of quality. If the school is inundated with drugs, if it incul­ cates values that are at odds with those of parents, or if it fails to pro­ vide a challenging and relevant curriculum , parents may simply transfer children to another school. Ultimately, improvement of our educational system w ill require more than tinkering with the bloat­ ed leviathan that is public educa­ tion. The educational establish ­ m ent defiantly resists efforts at reform . W hittle realizes that to combat them, parents must be pro­ vided with the ultimate education­ al weapon — free-market choice.

One Frid ay a ftern o o n in 1988 I w as at a friend's apartment when a pollster called with questions about the upcom ing election . My friend, whose politics are similar to my own, answered "horrible" and "the w orst" to ques­ tions about Republican policies. Later, he told me, "Answer polls whenever you can. It's like being able to vote 10,000 times." Well, I only vote once, on Election Day, after polls have already ordained who the front-run­ ner is. And by exit polling, the media presume to announce winners before balloting is even over. Judging by news coverage, polls are what this election is really about. Democrats proudly describe Bill C linton's campaign as "poll-driven," one that refines its message based on the previous night's survey results. George Bush polls Lubbock, he says, to test America's pulse. Recent polls, interestingly, show Ross Perot leading in Lubbock. Polling is indeed an ingenious device for elite politicos to find out what the masses think with­ out ever having to go out and actually meet any of them. Poll resu lts d om in ated new s co v erag e throughout the primaries, to the virtual exclu­ sion of candidates' policy proposals. They are so important, according to Christopher Hitchens, reporting from New H am pshire in the April issue of Harper's, that the media herd gather around candidates' pollsters rather than the can­ didates themselves. Polls may have a place as a supplement to real reporting and news analysis. Instead, they have become the news, influencing political coverage and how Americans vote based on perceptions form ed by the m ed ia. P o llin g , H itch en s explained, "has replaced, for politicians, can­ vassing and, for journalists, basic reporting." The very process of opinion polling limits dis­ cussion. Q uestions are framed so a predeter­ mined range of responses can be logged and quantified. The process is weighted against the asking of in -d ep th q u e stio n s and the record in g of thoughtful answers. If your opinion is not on the menu of preselected responses, it will either be lumped into the pay-no-attention category of other or distorted to fit into the square pegs. Let s use a hypothetical case to illuminate the d isto rtio n of o p in io n by p o llin g u sin g the "issue" of Clinton's admission to smoking pot 20 years ago. A typical poll question might be something like "H as C linton's answer to the marijuana issue affected your perception of his character for better or w o rse?" An either-or response would be required. Now, given an actual discussion of the issue, I could explain that Clinton's answer has indeed caused me to assess his character for the worse I can't respect anyone who would give such a lame excuse. But in the yes-no, either-or uni­ verse of poll responses, my statement that his answer affected my perception of him for the worse could be interpreted incorrectly to mean that I dislike candidates who experimented with marijuana. In polling's limited range of discourse, ques­ tions are greatly influenced by that great tool of analytical thinking, TV7 news. Yet TV news relies on polls to determine what is news, as you've probably noticed during the primaries. Media coverage, campaign contributions, candidates' positions and daily campaign plans follow the polls. (For an example of the effect of polls on the latter, note that Clinton canceled an appear­ ance in Austin when polls showed Jerry Brown pulling too close for com fort in New York.) Because of this cyclical process, candidates shape their views to tit the most recent polls and thus become newsworthy. Pollster Lou Harris assessed his role in the democratic process in 1988 when he boasted "1 elected one president, one prime minister, about 28 governors and maybe close to 60 U.S sena­ tors." Polls are undemocratic, considering the small number of responses needed to be considered "scientifically valid." As few as 500 "likely vot­ ers" will suffice for a poll to become the lead news story reporting to us what an entire state thinks. National polls are reported as legitimate news with 1,200 respondents. Exit polls subvert democracy when the media use them to forecast winners before balloting is over, som ething which has happened in the past. Local candidates and referenda can be adversely affected when people decide not to vote because of TV news projections. Pat Cad- dell, a former pollster for the Democrats, regis­ tered his disgust by describing polls as "a n instrument for deception whereby the truth is obscured and the public will be excluded or ignored." The attention given to polls this year is hardly su rp risin g , since seriou s issu es tend to be ignored for the horse race aspect of the election and whatever dirt candidates fling at each other. Post-election analysts always wring their hands about it and say they'll cover the issues next time, but come the next election cycle they never do. Unfortunately, because of polling's scientific veneer, it will be here to stay in campaign cover­ age. Klos is a graduate student in history. SOS initiative would protect environment, save money The editorial of June 15 ("SO S initia­ William Bunch GUEST COLUMNIST_____ constitutions do not require landowners be paid not to pollute. tive costs would imperil the city's solvency," The Daily Texan) repeats several developers' arguments which do not hold water. The mistaken message is that SOS will result in expensive lawsuits by developers claiming their property is "taken" by the ordinance. Last week both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court reiterated long-standing legal principles that land use regulations protecting public health and welfare are not "takings" of land, absent a total deprivation of economic uses of the land. The SOS ordinance does not even come close to being a taking. If passed, the citi­ zen-initiated ordinance would specifically allow reasonable, non-polluting develop­ ment to occur, while prohibiting the kind of overdevelopment that has ruined every other creek in A ustin. To illu strate the "The fact is, the passage of SOS will save taxpay- ers millions of dollars.” point, consider that development in the most sensitiv e areas of the Lake Tahoe Basin has been restricted for many years to no m ore than 1 p ercent of im p erviou s cover (parking areas, driveways, rooftops, etc.) with no "takings" problems. By con­ trast, the proposed SOS citizens' ordinance sets limits of 15 to 25 percent impervious cover. This does not am ount to a total deprivation of economic uses. In short, the "takings" clauses of the state and federal The SOS ordinance is a reasonable and legal water quality ordinance designed to assure private real estate developers do not take public rights to clean water in Bar­ ton Creek and Barton Springs. The fact is, the passage of SOS will save, not cost, taxpayers tens of millions of dol­ lars. City staff has estimated it will cost more than $130 million to clean up after existing development in the Barton Springs Zone. This does not include the cost of cleaning up after tens of thousands of acres of developm en t approved , but not yet built, u nder exem ptions and varian ces from the current ordinance. By forcing developers to prevent pollu­ tion at the outset, SOS will assure that tax­ payers do not get stuck with massive costs for cleanup that is only marginally effec­ tive. Hurling charges of "taxpayer doom and gloom" at SOS is a particularly rank exam­ ple of the pot calling the kettle black. For exam ple, developer Gary Bradley stuck taxpayers with over $110 million in bad savings and loan debts on his C ircle C Ranch project. Austin rate payers are pay­ ing 85 to 90 percent of the cost of providing utilities to Circle C and the City Council directed $350,000 to build a bicycle race track at Circle C. Another leading SOS critic, Barry Alli­ son, vice president for Jim Bob Moffett's 4,000-acre Barton Creek development, was formerly the project manager for Charles K eatings' "T h e U plands" development. That failed project cost taxpayers $70 mil­ lion. By eliminating the opportunity for spec­ u la tio n on h ig h -d en sity d ev elo p m en t u p stream of Barton Sp rin g s, SO S w ill assure that more and savin gs and loan deposits are not squandered on projects which will ulti­ m ately ru in Barton C reek and B arton Springs. , Finally, your editorial argues thdt the city charter requirement that citizen-initiat­ ed ordinances cannot be amended for two years is a major weakness. The opposite is true. The citizens initiative was made nec­ essary by City Council candidates always promising to protect Barton Springs during election season, but then trading water quality exemptions, variances and loop­ holes for campaign contributions. The beauty of the SOS ordinance is that it is binding on council and thereby ends the long practice of insider-money politics sub­ verting the clear will of the citizenry that Barton Springs be protected.

Convention Center opens with Texas flair f hey b u ilt form er M ayor Lee Cooke's $70 m illion dream in an u rban field at F irst and T rin ity streets. And this week, after almost three years of construction and spec­ ulation, they threw open the doors to the Austin Convention Center and waited for people to come. Exalted as "on time and on budget" (if a $6 m illion parking garage and some $4 million in "side costs" are lost in the lights of the massive exhibit hall), the cen­ ter — expected to bring 90,000 visitors to town this year — has the potential to help rally down­ town Austin's economy out of its bottom-of-the- '80s slump. Cooke, who chaired the Grand Opening Com­ mittee that spent about $185,000 for five days of festiv ities, said about 25,000 people passed through the center to tour the exhibit hall and grand ballroom and eat from tables of free food. After Mayor Bruce Todd, City Councilmem- bers Max Nofziger and Charles Urdy and Cooke w ere h o isted to the ceilin g Sa tu rd ay on a hydraulic lift to cut a 12-foot yellow ribbon, music blared from the center's sound system and Austinites were given their first look at their cen­ ter.

On M onday and Tuesday, things got more down to business. Taxi and bus drivers were given a free breakfast and UT football coach John Mackovic spoke to a group of m ore than 500 dvic clubs. Tuesday, meeting planners were given tours and event-booking details in hopes of adding to 72 conventions and meetings currently booked through the year 2001. Dan R ath er and Tom Landry show ed up Wednesday for a non-publicized unveiling of more than 50 new nam es to be added to the Texas W alk of Stars — a cement directory of who's who and who's from Texas that rings the center and continues on Sixth Street. "It's nice to be memorialized in stone and still be alive to see it," Rather said. Gov. Ann Richards kicked off the center's final night of Austin music and food from over 30 local restaurants. Groups booking the center can choose from local menus and chefs instead of using the standard in-house catering service. The final "G ala" event didn't sell as many tickets as organizers had hoped, but spokeswoman Tricia Fraga said the grand opening was an "o v e r­ whelming success."

July 10. 1992 UNIVERSITY Social work dean list narrows Final 3 candidates selected by student-faculty search committee Arthur Santana Daily Texan Staff A search committee has chosen three candi­ dates to m eet w ith P resid en t W illiam Cunningham to vie for the dean of social work position. A meeting will be held Friday with the search comm ittee so Cunningham can ask questions about the candidates and further probe their qualifications, said committee member Michael Lauderdale. The 12 members of the committee, chaired by David Austin, the acting dean of social work, submitted the names to Cunningham to choose the new dean. The candidates' names have not been announced. We serve in an advisory role" to the presi­ d en t, L au d erd ale said . All ca n d id a tes are employed at other universitites and have shown "evidence of administrative experience," he said. Austin said some of the most important quali­ fications the committee members were looking for were evidence of academic leadership, the ability to work well with faculty and students and a vision of the contributions that the school of social work could make for the community." Lauderdale added that the committee sought evidence of sound scholarship and the ability to assist school and faculty for research." The new dean's duties include maintaining the strength and quality of the social work program. Ronald Bounous, professor for the UT School of Social Work, said he would like to see "a more direct connection with classroom quality teach­ ing" in the new dean. On the committee, three are UT students. One is a graduate student, five are faculty from the School of Social Work and two are UT faculty not from the School of Social Work. Austin said interviews by Cunningham with the three candidates should be completed by Aug 10, and an announcement of the new dean should be made shortly thereafter.

Hodgkins is a former treasurer of A ustin C om m m unity T elev ision and producer of the popular Austin Access show Ask Lyvia Live. The "Students are some of the prima­ ry watchers of access programming and I was interested in seeing some­ one appointed that would be inter­ ested in the viewing needs of the stu d e n ts," said C ouncilm em ber Louise Ep stein , who nom inated Hodgkins for the position. Hodgkins said he plans to accom­ plish more than just being a voice for students. He said he supports any student endeavors to create original pro­ gramming but his main goal as a com m ission m em ber w ill be to work against what he believes is an increasing level of com mercializa­ tion in the community access chan­ nels. I feel that ACTV is designed to let people speak that wouldn't nor­ mally have a voice," Hodgkins said. The fact that people are making money bothers me. It demeans the whole exercise if it's not a complete­ ly volunteer organization. "What we're trying to do is allow people that feel disenfranchised to have a voice. It [ACTV] should be an organization where people use the equipm ent not for their own self-in terest but to express their political, social and even entertain­ ment ideas to the community. "A ll these people involved in access aren 't w orking so hard so some producer can make money. We're doing it so people who nor­ mally don't have a right to speak will have a chance." Hodgkins praised the proposed Austin Music Channel, which has been in the planning stage for four years. Since the ch an n el w ould give high-profile exposure to A ustin's music industry by spotlighting local acts, it should have high production values, he said. "W e have to make sure quality comes before quantity," he said. David Bluestein, director of out­ reach at Texas Student Television, said the appointment could help his group in their efforts to get their own ch ann el on A u stin C able- Vision. Epstein was one of the four coun- cilmembers who voted against the stu d en t tele v isio n ch ann el last February.

The job descriptions are very specific on what their official title through O PSER is and w hat they w ere called before." The OPSER structure defined the work being done and found people were doing the sam e w ork for cheaper pay, Parker added. "The higher-paying job makes us more com petitive in the industry.

H epatitis B is a n increasingly c o m m o n sexually transm itted disease. The U.S. C en ters for D isease C ontrol (CDC) warns that having tw o or m ore sex partners within six m onths in creases the risk of contracting HB.

HB is a virus spread by contact with infected blood and sem en like HIV, but unlike HIV, HB may be spread by con tact with other body fluids such as saliva.

Bob Larson called on v o ters to defeat SOS and give m odifications m ad e to A u s tin 's ex istin g w ater q u a lity law s in 1991 a chance to work. "SOS is risky. We say we have to s u p p re ss d e v e lo p m e n t a n d take land-ow ners' rights. That takes us back to the pioneer davs," Larson said. Larson said although he opposed SOS, he w a s c o n c e rn e d a b o u t u nregulated developm ent around Barton Springs and outside of the city's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction, the w a te rs h e d a re a o v er w hich Austin has jurisdiction. "There are subdivisions just out­ side of the ETJ w here you have to drive through the creek to get to the h o u s in g ," L arso n said . H e said existing laws should be expanded into a regional water-quality plan. Larson and N ofziger's exchange became m ore heated w hen Larson brought up a potential "explosion of lawsuits" by landowners against the city should SOS pass. Nofziger said the threat of suits shows the strength of SOS. "Y ou're only going to have law ­ suits if the ordinance is effective. If you've got a strong ordinance, peo­ ple are going to sue," Nofziger said. Nofziger and Larson agreed that cleaning up run-off and other pollu­ tion from earlier projects, such as the Lost Creek and Barton H ills sub­ divisions, showed the importance of water-quality controls today. L arson said the SOS in itia tiv e w o u ld slo w d o w n th e c le a n u p because it prohibited constructing filtra tio n fa c ilitie s n e a r B arton Creek, where they are needed. N e ar the en d of th e fo ru m , a caller asked how much water from Barton Creek was used in Austin's drinking water. Nofziger said in the w in te r u p to 80 p e rc e n t of the creek's w ater m ight enter the city drinking water system. Larson read from a letter claiming less than two percent was treated for drinking. "W e d o n 't rely on Barton Creek for drinking w ater — we swim in it," Larson said. Nofziger cautioned that if springs feeding into Town Lake dry up, the Edwards Aquifer and Barton Creek would play a larger role for drink­ ing water. "If you look to the fu tu re , an d b e y o n d th e tip of y o u r no se — w hich is g ro w in g all the tim e — y o u 'll see this is a w ater su p p ly issue," Nofziger told Larson.

The State o f Native A m erica is a politically radical, proudly m ulti­ cultural overview of current issues affecting American Indians today. As a trenchant blend of activism and scholarship, this compilation of essays, mostly by American Indian scholars, surveys current struggles over land and w ater rights, reli­ gious freedom, ethnic identifica­ tion, self-determination and isola­ tionism. Shawnee political scientist Glenn T. Morris defines self-determination as a peoples' right to decide their own political, economic and cultur­ al forms and their relation to other p eo p les, so m eth in g A m erican Indians sorely lack today. Siou x ed u cato r R ebecca L. Robbins, C reek-C herokee w riter Ward Churchill and Morris outline the erosion of American Indian self- determination. They point out that E n g lish c o lo n iz ers of N orth America recognized the sovereign­ ty of Indian nations, including their right to the land they occupied. The United States, in its early years, continued to recognize this national sovereignty. This tradition was turned on its head by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who estab­ lish ed the le g a l p rin cip le that In d ian s are n ot so v ereig n but domestic dependent nations." This doctrine has inform ed all subse­ quent federal policies and court decisions, as the government grad­ ually exercised com plete pow er over Indians without their consent. C ourt d ecision s reduced Ind ian sovereignty, once recognized as a status of nationhood, to the level of states, then eventually down to the level of a county government. W ard C h u rch ill pro vid es the backbone of the book in a series of essays about tribal land rights, fish- ^ 8 rights and toxic waste dumping on reserv atio n s. U sing detailed cases of illegal land usurpation by the gov ern m en t a ffectin g the Iroquois, the Lakota (or Sioux) and W estern Sh o sh on e, C h u rch ill explains that the return of illegally taken land is a first priority, not just for Indians, but for all progressive political struggles. He successfully argu es th at retu rn of land to Indians will not harm private prop­ erty rig hts, because m ost of the land in question is controlled by states or the federal government. Churchill's analysis of disputes in the states of W ashington and W isconsin betw een Indians with fishing rights and the commercial and recreational fishing industries reminds readers of a nearly forgot­ ten legal concept articulated b\ the Suprem e C ourt in 1905: treaties were never a granting of rights to Indians but a gran tin g of rights from them to the United States, and Indians retain any rights not explic­ itly surrendered in treaties. The discussion of women's issues am ong In d ia n s by M. A n n ette Jaimes and Theresa Halsey gives an historical overview of the role of women in traditional native soci­ eties. Cultural feminists and gay and lesbian radicals also come under fire for m isap p rop riatin g native female rituals or distorting the tra­ dition of respect for differences of sexual orientation. Such well-mean­ ing activists "seek to deploy their ow n v ersio n of 'n o b le sa v a g e' mythology for political purposes," say Jaimes and Halsey. Among other topics covered, the sh o rt ch ap ter on the case of Leonard P eltier — an A m erican Indian M ovem ent leader fraudu­ lently convicted of the murder of tw o FBI ag en ts — is p erh ap s a decent introduction to this travesty of justice, but that's all. A few problem s mar the book. The chapter on Indian water rights An A IM member takes a stand in the docum entary Incident at Oglala. by A pach e activ ist M ariann a Guerrero anticipates a Malthusian result regarding the overpopulation of arid Western states. Also, several w rite rs sta te as su re fact that In d ian s did not scalp u n til the English taught them, an assertion that sch o la rs disproved in the 1970s. Some readers may feel queasy when an essay compares America's westward expansion to Hitler's pol­ icy of eastward expansion, but the author makes the point thoughtful­ ly. Both "Manifest Destiny" and the German policy of Lebensraum were fueled by a combination of an ideol­ ogy o f racial superiority and the belief that the "racially superior" group could put the land to better use than the natives, who stood in the way of progress. "The differ­ ence is that, unlike Germany, the United States won its war of con- quest Churchill explains. and e x te rm in a tio n ," A h u n d red y ears ago, in our country the prevailing idea about Indians was that they were a van­ ishing race, doomed to eventual extinction. As The State o f N ative America demonstrates, they are still here and still angry, and this book illuminates many questions worth thinking about. THE STATE O F NATIVE A M ER IC A : GENOCIDE, COLONIZATION, AND R E SIST A N C E Editor: M. Annette Jaimes Publisher: South End Press Price: $16 Old-timer just whistliiT Dixie Veteran author Garrett's ramblings leave reader in the dark Jose Alaniz Daily Texan Staff AIM highlighted in documentary in cid en t' studies Sioux uprising Alvaro Rodriguez Daily Texan Staff In 1975, tw o sp ecial agents of the Fed eral Bureau of In v e s tig a tio n drove th eir expensive cars onto the P ine Ridge R eser­ vation in South Dakota in pursuit of a theft sus­ pect. The accused, Jimmy Eagle, had purportedly taken a pair of cowboy boots. As the agents neared the stronghold of a m ilitant N ative American group, bullets whistled in the air. The b rief flu rry of am m unition left the two agents and one Indian dead. Although four members of the Oglala Sioux tribe were initially charged with the murders of the two agents, only one was found guilty. Director Michael Apted's excel­ lent documentary Incident at Oglala focuses on the events that tran­ spired that strange, hazy dav, and how they would change the lives of an entire people. A pted gives his au d ien ce a m u ch -n eed ed h isto ry lesson in Incident at Oglala, using the testi­ mony of the men and women of the Sio u x . The P ine Ridge Reservation was one of the poorest communities in the United States at the time; its inhabitants lived under Third W orld conditions. A clear line marked the division between Indians who wanted to preserve the "old ways" of the tribe, the tra­ ditionalists, and the group who were more accepting of the shift to a governm ent-sponsored leader­ ship. Federal monies that were to brin g re lie f to the poor w ere instead channeled to a group of ersatz deputies known as "Goon" squads, who kept the traditional­ ists under a cloak of intimidation and fear. The traditionalists found support in an alliance called the American Indian Movement (AIM), led in the early '70s by a c tiv ist/p o e t John Trudell. The intense civil war had escalated to such a degree that when the special agents came rid­ ing in to the reservation that day, the m em bers of AIM were p re­ pared. Leonard Peltier, the only man convicted in the slayings, remains in prison. Apted lets his camera act as the textbook we never read in high school. Through interview s with in d iv id u a ls on all sid es of the action (ex-members of the so-called "Goon" squads, members of AIM, attorneys for the prosecution and the d efen se, oth er F B I special agents), Incident captures the spirit of a people who would not be sup­ pressed any further. From the p an oram ic opening shots of the open stretches of land interspersed with bits of a most com plex story, A pted begins to w eave the events into a telling, cohesive whole. P erh ap s the m ost in terestin g thing about Incident is why it was made at all. Apted had recently directed a feature film , Thunder- heart, a fictional story loosely based on the Peltier case and other cases involving the Sioux tribe. The opportunity to see both films as a kind of double featu re (Thunderheart is enjoying a run at dollar theaters) allows the audience to see the story from both factual and fictio n a l an gles, m uch like Apted m ust have seen it. While each film is excellent and stands on its own, they act as bookends to an entire history of the strength of a nation that existed before we were ever known as the United States of America.

But his essays on the C ivil War and his family, while rife with good infor­ mation, just don't engage the reader as well as they could. At his w orst, G arrett descends into rambling, know-it-all speeches on "how good it used to be" back in his ch ild h oo d d ays duri ng the Depression, often lapsing into senti­ mentality. Garrett autopilots through page after page of some very long, dry pieces of family history, throwing in names and places nobody knows or cares about (except Garrett). Then he'll catch himself, realize his "been there, done th at" tripe has worn thin, and get back to som ething interesting. Garrett is definitely a writer look­ ing backward, someone who finds the answers to everything as well as the best of everything in the golden, irreproachable past. And. On the tech n ica l. Front. Those short. Choppy. Sentence con­ structions do. Get kind of old. Garrett is that species of writer — just this side of m ediocre — who imparts enough insight so that you can't dismiss him, but doesn't con­ sistently wield the language well enough to be taken completely seri­ ously, either. He's ju st not as im aginative as John Irving, or as compelling histor­ ically as Shelby Foote. He doesn't paint the South as d elicately as William Faulkner — but tellingly, Garrett occasionally m entions all in his w ork. these p eo p le H is wri t i ng reads like som e w atered -d ow n gum bo of those other guys, with not quite enough flavor to make you want seconds.

And he does, whether you want him to or not. And you'd best sit up straight and listen, young man or lady — you just might learn some­ thing, and b esid es, G arrett isn 't going to hush up till he's finished anyway. Whistling in the Dark: True Stories and Other Fables is just that: a lot of anecdotes, fragments, stories and personal observations from a some­ what venerable, very self-important man who could just be making it all up for the hell of it. In his down- home, Southern-fried style, Garrett hashes out family history, football strategy, his Army days, contempo­ rary politics and even the Civil War. At his best, Garrett communicates funny and moving tidbits of person­ al history with a tender touch. The most finely written piece is the first, Whistling in the Dark. In this short story about Garrett's days as a mili­ tary policem an in A ustria in the '50s, he skillfully com bines good n a rra tiv e d etail w ith the m ore abstract beauty of poetry. Sergeant Garrett, winding up in a G asthaus that H itler used to fre­ quent as a child, suspends the read­ er amid the ineffability of the past and the tense, Cold War uncertainty of his present. The rest of the book is a mixed bag. It seems the simpler the subject Garrett tackles, the better he comes off. His numerous anecdotes about life as an English professor in sever­ al universities contain many funny m om ents, w ell-captured in light prose. His discussions of stories he may or may not write someday and the relation between athletics and writing cast some interesting light s O U N D B E S k* Page 10 Friday. July 10,1992 T H E D a i I .

Nothing new, nothing offensive and nothing that won’t get played to death on V H -1. But this is a refre shin g change from the kill-a-cop music getting attention lately. J o h n 's m u sic h a s becom e a recipe — thick, rich music like old chocolate pudding mixed with a p e rsiste n t drum m achine that makes all these new songs sound like S a d Son gs (Say S o Much). The O n e in clu d e s R u n a w a y Train from Lethal Weapon 3, which John performs with Eric Clapton. The album is worth having for that song alone. Clapton’s soulful guitar sound adds a dimension the other songs lack. The rest of the album has the unintended them e of “T o d a y Sucks." Bernie Taupin, John’s lyric writer and soul mate, has a bad case of nostalgia. Considering the great music Taupin and John put out in the past, who could blame him? Simple Life starts the longing and Sw eat It Out b a sh e s every­ thing from the fall of the Soviet Union to Batman.

It’s about the com­ mon subject of trying to show affec­ tion toward a father; it’s an appeal­ ing stop on a familiar road. Overall, John’s voice and piano playing are strong and pleasant, regardless of what the songs have to say. — Ron Allman The LeRoi Brothers Crown Royale Royale Rounder Properly Properly produced, this latest offering from Austin’s The LeRoi Brothers could have been a minor monster.

If you turn it up loud enough, though, you probably won’t notice. The songs hum and chug along at an invigorating pace, balancing gui­ tar, b a ss and accordion on one hand, and wisdom, wit and attitude on the other. To their credit, the L e R o i Brothers juggle styles just enough to keep the record from becoming a bar-band cliche. Not many groups can sound convincingly like Diddley in one song (Fool in Paradise) and Disney in the next (The Wishing Well). And even though the latter is a delicate tune that doesn’t really fit in this rollicking collection, The Wishing Well is so disarmingly pret­ ty that only the hardest heart could hold it against the band. With the weaker-sounding tracks produced by otherwise high-flying reflects their dark, haunting sound. Arc Angel Charlie Sexton, Crown R o y a le calls to mind what this record could have been and is som e w h a t frustrating in that respect. H ow ever, the L e R o i Brothers could probably have their albums pressed on Play-Doh and still not lose their elementary sense of spirited fun. — Chris Barton Balloon Gravity BMG "M ay you rot in hell Alexander Bell,” intones Ian Bickerton, vocalist for Balloon, on Frighten to death.

In company with the all-new Oldsmobile Achieva a n d n e w ly p e n n e d B u ic k S kylark, the new -for-'92 Grand Am is the most youthful design of the bunch. a nd A v a ila b le in b oth tw o - and fo u r-d o o r body style s and the choice of base SE or sportier GT trim , P o n tia c has b o th p a re d d o w n (it d ro p p e d th e fo rm e r b a s e m o d e l) fu r th e r d istin gu ish ed (d istin ct tw o-and four-door designs) the Grand Am lin e u p for 1992. H a v in g d riv e n * s e v e ra l d iffe re n t G rand Am m odels at the cars' launch late last year, it's o b v io u s P on tia c has a lot rid in g on this near e n try -le v e l sedan. If early sales figures are any indication, Pontiac may have hit the nail squarely on the head. T h ro u g h A p ril o f 1 992, domestic sales of the Grand Am were up more than 13,000 units to n ea rly 72,500 cars. On the o th e r hand, its stablem ate, the Skylark saw a sharp decline of m o re th a n 1 0,0 00 u n its o v e r 1991. I h ad M o s t re c e n tly , the o p p o rtu n ity to spend a week, and more than 400 miles, behind the w heel of P ontiac's sp ortier G rand Am GT. E qu ip p ed w ith GM's optional 3.3-liter V6 mated to a th re e -s p e e d a u to m a tic tra n sm issio n (u n fo rtu n a te ly no five-speed is available with the V6) the GT model proved a spry little performer. O v e rs ig h ts the u n a v a ila b ility o f a m a n u a l gearbox on the sport model are lik e o ffs e t by g o o d ie s s u c h as standard anti-lock brakes, better- than-average fuel economy and a darn good price. Base priced at only $13,699, the Grand AM GT is a bargain. Even with options like the V6, power windows, air conditioning, pow er m irrors, pow er d rive r's s e a t t ilt s te e rin g and a s ix - speaker AM/FM stereo cassette, the price climbs to only $16,930. E ve n w ith my le a d fo o t I a v e ra g e a ro u n d 25 m ile s per gallon in combined highway and in-town driving. The EPA rates the ca r at 19 mpg city and 29 m pg on th e h ig h w a y . If the engine w eren't so torquey and e a sy to re v, my g a s m ile a g e figures would have been better. On the road, the G rand AM GT feels more like a sports car fa m ily h a u le r. T he th a n a standard sport suspension with u p g ra d e d P 2 0 5 /5 5 R 1 6 lo w - profile tires on five-spoke alloy w h e e ls c o u p le d w ith a m ore ta u g h t u n d e rp inn in g give s the car an aggressive, road-hugging stance with very little body roll. The trade off is a stiffer overall ride with more detectable road noise and a bit more road feel. For those who like the sportier look of Pontiac's Grand AM GT, but need the fle x ib ility th a t a four-door car offers, the GT can be o rd e re d in a n u m b e r of combinations. Available with two a d d itio n a l d oo rs and a to ta lly different roofline, the four-door GT model is head and shoulders a b o v e it re p lace s. M ost n o tice a b le are th e b ig g e r re a r d o o rs and sloping back glass, which add a s m o o th n e s s not fo u n d in the previously, notchy design. th e 1991 s e d a n B o th G T m o d e ls c o m e s ta n d a rd w ith a h ig h o u tp u t (H .O .) 2 .3 - lite r fo u r- c y lin d e r DOHC 16-valve engine rated at 180 horsepower. If you desire a manual gearbox you're forced to s tick w ith the fo u r b a n g e r. In a d d itio n to the a u to m a tic-o n ly V6, a fo u r-c y lin d e r/a u to m a tic transm ission com bo is offered. The engine in this package is the less gutsy 2 .3 -lite r p ow erp la n t found in the base SE model. Of a ll th e m o st perform ance oriented platform remains the V6. th e o ffe rin g s , In addition to the all-new look and p u m p e d -u p p e rfo rm a n c e u n d e r the h o o d , P o n tia c has done its homework in the design department too. Engineers have made the 1992 G rand AM less complicated to work on and have m oved key m e c h a n ic a l ite m s such as the starter m otor and the oil filte r to the fro nt of the engine. W ith s e r v ic e a b ility a key factor under the hood, Pontiac has a ls o s im p lifie d th e new G ra n d AM by re d u c in g th e number of parts needed to build the car. Examples include one- p ie c e w in d o w and d o o r lo ck a s s e m b lie s w h ic h s n a p in to place for easier installation and service. In the front bumper and forward lighting area alone, the 1992 G rand AM has two fewer p arts and 55 few er fa ste n e rs. T h ro ug h ou t the entire car, the to ta l p a rts c o u n t is d o w n 11 percent from 1991, elim inating 266 parts. In a ll, the n e w -fo r-'9 2 is a m u ch b e tte r c a r. N o t ju s t in looks, but in the engine bay, at th e g a s p um p and in c re a s e d quality throughout.
