Emily Bacon, spokeswoman for the Emergency Care Team that is responsible for first aid at home football games, said more than 350 Aggie fans suffered heat- related problems at the Texas A&M game against Louisiana State University. "The main problems deal with people who do not take care of themselves the day of the game and even the day before, ,v she said. Bacon made several sugges tions to help protect students at tending tomorrow's game from any problems brought on by the heat. "First and foremost, people need to drink lots of water before and during the game," said Ba con. Bacon stressed the importance of eating breakfast the morning of the game, wearing light-colored. loose-fitting clothing and avoid ing alcoholic beverages. "Basically, people should just use common sense," she said. In the event that someone does start feeling faint during the game. Bacon said it is important to get out of the sun, sit down and drink lots of water. Members of the Emergency Care Team will be available to provide care at the five first aid stations located at Kyle Field. The stations can be found at the north end zone entrance, on the second and third decks of the student section, and the second and third decks of the alumni sec tion. The stations are equipped with ice, water and Gatorade, and will be operated by five to six care team members. A doctor and nurse will also be on hand at the north end zone first aid station. In case of major emergencies, two ambulances will also be available. Bacon said the team expects fewer problems this weekend than were experienced at the LSU game.

"Most Christians today are living in a form of defeat, discouragement and disillusionment because they are trying to live a life they don't have and cannot live," George said at a meet ing of the A&M Christian Fellowship (AMCF). George said much of his message is aimed at giving new meaning to the Christian faith for those that have lost their enthusiasm. He said most of the problems with Chris tianity today are the result of subdivisions within the faith. "I'm not a Baptist, I'm not a Presbyterian, I'm not a Charismatic — I'm a child of the liv ing God," George said. Rodger Lewis, faculty adviser for AMCF, said it was rather amazing that the group could get such a prominent speaker to come to the meeting. "Several students and graduate students studied his books and expressed an interest in having him come speak," Lewis said. "We wanted to make it (his message) available to other students." George said he doesn't often speak to col lege audiences, but his message on identity is especially important to young people. Cindy McCallum, president of AMCF, said George is the first high-profile person the orga nization has had speak to it. "We wanted to use him as a resource, and because of his books and such we thought, 'Well, let's try it," she said. George said his ministry and books are a byproduct of what God has worked in his life. "When you've become filled with the word of Christ, about all you can do is spill it out to others," George said. George founded his "People to People" ministry in 1976, and uses radio as well as sem inars, Bible studies and books to get his mes sage across to a nationwide audience. He has written two books, "Classic Chris tianity" and "Growing in Grace" and is cur rently working on student study guides. r< B Aftt last Sal ers, th< will tr Univer The in tra what t histori is goo the Ag In t agains A&M feet 3-i cludinj tory 1 The A only p: Misso beatin 12-0 ir souri h non-lc game s The HIECTED FOR THE DIRECTOR'S FORTNIGHT 1993 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL ‘ABSORBING AND RELENTLESS...
