Page 6 * Friday, September 11,1998 c ampus MSC to unveil final woodcarving addition NEWS IN BRIEF ttalion Administrators set to get soaked for the SECC today BY MELISSA JORDAN The Battalion The seventh in a series of walnut panels displayed in the MSC will be unveiled tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. This weekend the Class of ’93 will celebrate their five year reunion and will unveil the carved walnut panel they commissioned as a class gift to the University. The carved panels depict A&M’s history and traditions, and the orig inal six were designed to commem orate the University’s centennial an niversary. Rodney Hill, associate dean of the Department of Architecture, and his wife, Susan, created the original six panels. The original six panels were de signed by Hill in 1973. The Class of ’93 wanted the seventh panel to commemorate the years between 1973 and 1993 with a special em phasis on student life and the "oth er education.” Hill said he thought the panels should depict all sides of student life at Texas A&M. “It was a real thrill to do one that included the ‘other education,’ he said. Hill incorporated symbols from organizations on campus and phys ical changes that have been made to the A&M campus since 1973. The construction of residence halls and Albritton Tower, and the expansion of Kyle Field are among the pieces of A&M history tied into Hill’s carving. Hill said he believes plans for an eighth panel will soon follow. The panel will commemorate A&M's 125th anniversary. The eighth panel might portray the year following the centennial mark of A&M history and may in clude buildings such as the George Bush Library. Kyle Continued from Page 1 Kotch said the officials taking tickets at each gate will be checking the tickets, and students must enter through the correct gates. He said of ficials will also be strictly enforcing that students present their student identification cards along with their tickets upon entering the stadium. Billy Pickard, associate athletic director for facilities, said the hope is by September 1999 all seating for the north end zone section will be replaced. Pickard said that during past Kyle Field renovation projects he has found movement around the restricted areas to be fairly orderly. “We have found, when we added the second and third decks, everyone seems to accommodate the restrictions better than when the stadium is done,” Pickard said. “Our experience is the students are wonderful, and they realize it's just going to take a little longer to get in and out of the stadium.’’ Kotch said he suggests students pay attention to which gate they are assigned to enter and arrive early to avoid confusion and longer delays. “It’s going to be a tight bottle neck at all four entrances because a lot of people will be trying to go in the same places,’’ Kotch said. Railroad Co n tinned fro m Page 1 Of the date rape cases reported to the Rape Crisis Center in 1997, 13 of the 15 victims identified were between the age of 14 andO 25. “Women do not want to believe it could happen to them,” Nichols said. “You cannot tell by looking at someone whether or not they are a rapist. Rape is not a sexual thing but a power and control thing.” The protocol encourages victims' to report sexual assault as soon as possible to aid further investigation. Included in the protocol is a list of survivor rights which allow the victim to: • submit a victim impact state ment, • have a counselor accompany the victim during a hearing, • request immediate on-campus housing relocation based on space, • be informed of the hearing’s out come upon request, • make a record of the hearing at personal expense. The Rape Crisis Center has ap proximately 25 students currently volunteering. Additional information on the Rape Crisis Center can be found at http://rapecrisis.txcyber.com.

Nickel Continued from Page l A State of the University address, to be given twice a semester in the Memorial Student Center Flagroom. is in the planning stages. “We want to bring everyone to the forefront, so they can ask ques tions about specific things. We want to tiring different student leaders also. We want them to be a part of it,” she said. Nickel feels strongly about work ing to dispel stereotypes of student organizations. “It is something that is very' close to my heart. It is sad — we are alien ating Aggies for being interested in something and serving something," she said. Nickel is also addressing parking during her campaign. Over the sum mer, visitor parking rates increased to $1 per hour, while the fine for parking in the wrong lot rose from $10 to $25. “We’re continually challenged by student input in decisions parking and transit is making. Some decisions were made where the student voice was not sought after,” she said. The proposal of a $50 fee to he paid each semester by all students in order to overhaul the bus system is something Nickel has consulted Gary Jackson, director of Bus Oper ations about. The extension of the add/drop period originally proposed does not look promising. However, a reformed Q-drop pol icy and the installation of a forgive ness rule appear to be possibilities. “We want a 60/60/60 Q-drop pol icy, where in the first 60 hours, a stu dent gets two Q-drops, and in the second 60 hours, the student gets two Q-drops. We are also working on the parameters of the Q-drop — increasing the days a student is able to drop by extending the Q-drop date Carol Cantre chancellor for fe tration in 6011116?
