BEYOND THE HEDGES/by Scheleen Johnson
A&M cadet guilty
of tearing up facts
Gabriel Cuadra, a tormer I exas
A&M cadet, was found guilty on
January 31 of tampering with
evidence in connection with the
August 30 death of Bruce Dean
Goodrich.
According to a story in the
A&M Battalion, the six-woman
jury's verdict left Cuadra with a
$500 fine and a jail term to be
decided by the court at a later date.
Cadet Goodrich died after three
junior members of his outfit.
Company F-l, woke him early in
the morning and conducted
Goodrich and another sophomore
cadet in a rigorous exercise
session.
Cuadra admitted to tearing up a
roster that listed the exercises
performed at the session. Claiming
that the list "contained corps terms
that would be misunderstood by
people not in the corps," he tore it
up in order to protect the outfit
from any future "abuse by the
media."
"My intent was to keep those
words out of the newspapers," he
said. "1 in no way wanted to hide
the list from the police. It never
entered my mind."
After the verdict was handed
down, both the defending and
prosecuting attorneys, Henry
Paine and Jim Kuboviak, asked
that probation be recommended.
"Any punishment you decide on
will not outweigh what Gabe has
already gone through," Paine said.
The Batallion reported that
Cuadra still faces a charge of
ha/ing in connection with the
death along with the three junior
cadets involved, Anthony
D'Acessandro, Jason Miles, and
Louis Fancher III. The latter three
also face charges of criminally
negligent homicide.
Audience drowns
protest with hymn
The defrocked Jesuit priest and
longtime anti-war and anti-nuclear
protester Daniel Berrigan was
disrupted while reading his poetry
at the University of Pittsburgh
earlier this month.
Dario Dzognick, a member of
Lyndon l.arouche's National
Democratic Policy Committee
(NDPC). got up from his seat after
Berrigan had finished reading a
poem about a prisoner at
Auschwitz and began talking to
the poet.
"We've heard enough. Mr.
Berrigan." said Dzognick as he
walked down the aisle. "This
proves that you support anti-
Semitism. . . You arc supporting
Soviet fascism," he said.
Another member of the
audience proceeded to stand and
sing the hymn "Peace Is Flowing
Like a River." The rest of the
audience sang along and Dzognick
was quickly drowned out. Finally
several men escorted the agitator
from the theater.
Berrigan remained quiet
throughout the ordeal. After
Dzognick had left and the
audience finished singing the
hymn, Berrigan simply smiled.
"Lovely," he said, and resumed his
reading.
Outside the theater, other
members of the NDPC passed out
pamphlets.
"We're trying to stop them (the
Merton Center which was
sponsoring Berrigan) from
establishing a branch of the Green
Party in Pittsburgh." one
pamphleteer told The Pitt News.
J hey were passing out brochures
supporting the Strategic Defense
Initiative.
UTA to study Star
Wars weaponry
The University of Texas at
Arlington is one of five universities
being awarded research contracts
by the Department of Defense for
the proposed "Star Wars" military
space defense system, according to
IJT-Austin's Daily Texan.
The program's objectives will be
the research and development of
power sources for the proposed
space stations. Members of the
Space Defense Initiative Office
will oversee the project.
Other schools involved include
the State University of New York
at Buffalo. Brooklyn Polytech-
nical Institute, and Auburn
University.
Jim Thompson, chairman of
U T - A r 1 i n g t o n ' s electrical
engineering department, said that
the research contract, which has
not yet been signed, will last four
years with a total of $5 million.
Thompson told the Texan that
the program is in no way geared
toward offensive weaponry. It
most likely will employ neutron
particle beams and high velocity
projections to destroy other
projectiles in space.
Duke students go
against escalation
Members of the Central
America Solidarity Committee
(CASC) presented a petition to
Duke University President Terry
Sanford asking him to cancel
classes for a day if the U.S.
increases its military involvement
in Central America, to be replaced
by a day of "teach-ins," reported
the Duke Chronicle.
The petition was circulated
throughout the university's classes
and dormitories by 30 people for
approximately two weeks in
response to the United States'
accusations of Soviet warplanes
being sent to Nicaragua.
According to Dori Drachman, a
member of CASC. the group felt
that the United States might
counter this with military action.
More than 680 names of faculty
and students appeared on the
petition.
Sanford accepted the petition,
but, according to the Chronicle.
"Sanford said cancelling a day's
classes would infringe on the rights

"I'm pleased that you're
demonstrating your concern on
something like this. The University
is a forum for freedom of
expression and protects your
rights, but for the same reasons,
you can't force your opinions on
other people," Sanford stated.
Sanford did agree to join in a
panel discussion at a teach-in if the
escalation occurs. Sanford told the
Chronicle that this was the first
political request submitted to him
by students since the Vietnam
War.

Youth International Party (YIP)
of the 1960s, debated to an
audience of 1.500 at Texas A&M
on I hursday, January 31. reported
the A&M Battalion.
Rubin abandoned the radical
politics associated with YIP in
1982 to join the "establishment."
Said Rubin, "I have evolved; I am
an entrepreneur."
Rubin stressed the growing role
of Yuppies (Young Urban
Professionals) in politics, stating
that they "will elect the president of
the United States in 1988."
Hoffman responded. "Not all of
