By Patrick Badgley Daily Texan Staff Relying on his message of unity within government, Gov. George W. Bush on Sunday sent a group of 28 GOP governors on a two-week campaign to pitch Bush's accomplishments and proposals to Americans. The governors will travel to 48 cities in 25 states which have a combined 319 electoral votes. President Bill Clinton won 23 of the 25 states in 1996. Bush complimented the governors who were there to campaign for him Sunday, calling them hard-working and honest. Bush said they have taken important steps to make reforms similar to those he has made in Texas and proposes to make as president.

When Alejandro Junco de la Vega graduated from the University with a journalism degree in 1969, he envisioned introducing Mexico to the integrity and independence of American journalism. Thirty-one years later, Junco has achieved his dream, becoming the owner of Mexico's most prominent newspaper, and also playing a role in returning democracy to Mexico through sometimes controversial articles critical of the country's ruling politicians. On Friday, UT's Ex-Student's Association honored Junco and five others with the coveted Distinguished Alumnus Award, given annually to alumni that have displayed outstanding achievement. Thank you sincerely for this honor.
