WHY ARE YOU STUDYING FOR
FINALS WHEN YOU COULD BE
MAKING YOUR FORTUNE?
Hey, Bill Gates did it.
So did John Fanning when he created NAPSTER! Do you really believe the job
offers will come flying in after graduation?
What did they do right? They incorporated in Delaware and spent more time on their
life’s work than their homework. They followed their dream when other people
thought they were crazy and it paid off.
“When / looked around to incorporate Napster. Harvard Business Services was the clear
choice. They did an excellent job at a lower cost. / would highly recommend them."
— John Fanning - Founding Chairman & CEO, Napster. Inc.

ICN. Wareing retrieved his $640,0(X) investment
just before ICN declared bankruptcy.
Wareing said he was a limited partner in the
business, and did not know about UT’s invest
ment. Wareing said he lost money when ICN
went bankrupt and said the facts in the Dallas
Morning News article are incorrect.
A UT investment analyst recommended
against the deal, the Dallas Morning News
reported, and state auditors later described the
investment as an “apparent conflict of interest.”
“His own River Oaks country club pals didn't
elect him to Congress, and there’s a reason for
that,” Johnson said. “Contrary to what he’s been
saying, the record shows that he’s not a conser
vative and he’s not a successful businessman, and
voters don’t appreciate dishonesty.”
Wareing’s history of contributing to
Democrats became a contentious issue in the
heated Republican primary contest for District 7
in 2000. The Houston Chronicle reported that
Wareing had contributed to Jackson Lee and
Richard Fisher, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s
1994 Democratic opponent. The Chronicle also
reported Wareing voted for Ann Richards in the
1990 Democratic primary.
Wareing said he has donated far more money to
Republican candidates, and in 199K was chosen by
party officials to spearhead the party's 1998 fund
raising efforts in Harris County.
“My Republican credentials speak tor them
selves,” Wareing said.
Wareing spent $4 million, much of it his own
money, in his losing congressional bid two years
ago. Wareing rented an apartment in Bryan to run
for the open District 31 seat and said he will buy
a home there if he is selected.
Barton, a businessman from the Dallas area,
also moved to College Station to run for
Congress. A 1993 A&M graduate. Barton mailed
a campaign brochure to students touting his
Aggie credentials and taunting Wareing, a LIT
graduate, as a “t-sip.”
Wareing campaign manager Kris Reyes said
recent polls placing Barton in third place
prompted the negative attacks.
“It’s sad that he has resorted to this last minute
mudslinging,” Reyes said.
The other Republican candidates in the
District 31 contest are Flynn Adcock, John
Carter, Patrick Meece. Roy Streckfuss and Eric
Whitfield. If no candidate gets a majority in
the March 12 balloting, the top two finishers
will advance to a runoff. Because the district is
overwhelmingly Republican and conservative,
political observers expect the Republican nom
inee to win easily in November.

“[Chris] would have gotten
his wings in January,”
Edwards said, sighing.
Wednesday, she added
John’s Bryan intensive care
unit room to her beaten path.
Edwards balances thoughts
of Chris’ three skin grafts and
the three inches of shattered
bone from his spine with
thoughts of the condition of
her younger son — already a
survivor of more than most
people bear in their lives.
Give her a body part, and
Edwards said, laughing, she
can give you a doctor who will
know how to fix it.
“I just want to get these
boys home,” she said.
Comstock’s mother saw
him for the first time since his
admittance Wednesday after
noon. Doctors had not told her
much, and her son — glad to
see her, but sleepy — was not
much more help, she said.
‘We’re alarmed,” she said.
“He’s not in a life-threatening
place, but I don’t want to go
through that again.”
Comstock is taking medica
tion to prevent seizures,
Edwards said.
Kristin Harper, interim dean
of student life, met Edwards at
the hospital Wednesday. She
said Wednesday afternoon that
the University was “just hopeful
he’ll be home with his family
for spring break.”
