Creswell waiting for cable installment
By NORBERTA JORDAN
Contributing Writer
Even though Creswell Hall residents were
told cable would be installed by the end of fall
quarter, it may be another month before they
receive the signals in their rooms.
“I would hope that within the month, if ev
erything meshes perfectly, we will have signals
on the cable,” said John Stephens, director of
Instructional Resources Center.
Stephens said weather has slowed the pro
ject.
The Physical Plant still has to set up the sa
tellite down links and build towers to hold the
satellite dishes.
Workers dug two holes for the towers but
haven’t been able to pour the cement because of
constant rain, he said. In addition, they have
two more holes to dig and fill.
Linda Hudson, Creswell resident life coordi
nator, said residents will be notified of the
start up date once the Physical Plant completes
its work.
“It's beginning to be a joke,” said Chad Kem-
merlin, sophomore environmental health sci
ence major.
Mandy Kaisand, sophomore business major,
said “If they were going to do it, it should’ve
been ready at the beginning of this school year
or they should’ve waited to tell us and not
gotten our hopes up."
Stephens said they are in the process of nego
tiating with Telecommunications International
Cablevision of Georgia, Inc., and individual
program suppliers to get the best-priced cable
package possible.
The package probably will have TCI’s basic
package, he said, plus some educational chan
nels it doesn’t offer such as foreign language
programs and C-SPAN — the channel that
covers U.S. Congress.
Gene Luna, assistant housing director, said
the price of the cable package will be reflected
in room rental rates.
“I don’t watch TV,” said Karen Braden, soph
omore chemistry major, “and I don’t partic
ularly care for my rent to go up for something
that’s not even going to benefit me.”
“I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this
way.”
Residents with cable-ready televisions will
need to buy a cable to connect the wall outlet to
the television.
Residents whose televisions aren’t cable-
ready will have to buy a cable-ready converter
and a converter box to receive all the channels.
Luna said the University plans to have cable
installed in the individual rooms of all Univer
sity residence halls in the next two to three
years.
President cool on ‘greenhouse’ effect
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President
Bush called Monday for balancing
economic and environmental con
cerns when dealing with global
warming, prompting environmen
talists to accuse him of siding with
industry and avoiding a pressing
world problem.
Bush, speaking to an interna
tional conference on the threat of a
world “greenhouse" effect, said
“our policies must be consistent
with economic growth.” And he
suggested that in some areas of the
debate “politics and opinion have
outpaced the science.”
Environmentalists at the confer
ence suggested the problem was
not scientific but a lack of U.S.
leadership in dealing with the
issue. One participant called
Bush’s comments “a gross disap
pointment.”
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Albert
Gore Jr., D-Tenn., a frequent critic
of Bush’s stand on global warming,
said the president was “moving as
slow as molasses” on the issue
when many scientists already are
convinced decisive action is
needed.
But the president, addressing
the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, said nations must
strike a bargain between curbing
pollution that is causing a
warming of the earth and main
taining economic growth.
Arguing that key scientific ques
tions have yet to be answered,
Bush suggested it was too early to
unleash an action plan aimed at
specific pollution reductions as
many environmentalists — and

some European countries — have
said is required.
Later at the White House, presi
dential spokesman Marlin Fitz-
water said Bush does not believe it
is “time for a call to arms" on the
global warming issue, but “time for
a call to research and to find out
more about it."
“Our goal continues to be
matching policy commitments to
emerging scientific knowledge —
and a reconciling of environmental
protection to the continued bene
fits of economic development,” said
Bush.
The remarks brought a subdued
reaction from many of the partici
pants at the international confer
ence. The conference was
sponsored by the United Nations
and attended by representatives
and delegates from some 60 na
tions.
Delegates from some European
countries, including Norway, Den
mark and Sweden, have argued
that enough scientific knowledge
has been accumulated to warrant a
committment from industrial na
tions to at least stabilize carbon di
oxide pollution at current levels
over the next decade.
Scientists are concerned that the
accumulation of manmade pollut
ants, largely carbon dioxide from
the burning of fossil fuels, is cre
ating a serious global problem.

Alabama search ends
The Associated Press
ENTERPRISE, Ala. - Federal
mail-bomb investigators have
concluded their large-scale
searches of property in Enter
prise but are still hunting for a
typewriter that could be a crucial
piece of evidence, FBI officials
said Monday.
The investigation also is “a
long way” from reaching the
stage at which a grand jury
would be formed to review pos
sible indictments, according to an
FBI official who spoke on condi
tion of anonymity.
During the last two weeks,
scores of FBI agents scoured
southeast Alabama in hopes of
turning up the typewriter used to
write letters allegedly linked to
the December mail bomb killings
of 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals Judge Robert Vance of
Mountain Brook and Robert Rob
inson, an NAACP lawyer in Sa
vannah, Ga.
Tom Moore, an FBI spokesman
in Birmingham, said the January
searches in the Enterprise area
required large numbers of agents
because of the amount of confis
cated material. Ten search war
rants were executed on
businesses and homes.
The FBI affidavits that ex
plained why the searches needed
to be undertaken remain sealed.
U.S. Magistrate John Carroll of
Montgomery said Monday they
would remain under court seal
until the investigation is over.
There have been no arrests,
but Moore said, “It ain’t over
until it’s over.”
On Monday, Dean Powers,
manager of a piano store in En
terprise, said agents came into
the store looking for typewriters
purchased at an auction at the
nearby Fort Rucker Army base.
Powers said they examined one
electric and two manual type
writers but did not remove them
from the premises.
