responsibilities to the job of

the legislation, the student
body president or his or her

Along with the A&M commencement exercis

Detainees’ hunger
strike continues
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL
BASE, Cuba (AP) — Twenty-one
detainees refused lunch at this
remote U.S. base Thursday,
the ninth day of a hunger strike
that is on the wane.
Twenty-three captives declined
breakfast and 21 refused lunch
— down from a high of 194 who
refused food a week before, said
Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Jeff
Carter, a spokesperson.
Brig. Gen. Mike Lehnert,
the camp commander, has
called it a “rolling hunger
strike," saying detainees take
turns not eating. Three men
have not eaten since at least
Friday, when the military
began keeping count.
The military has administered
intravenous drips to 20 at the
camp to treat them for dehy
dration or undernourishment.
The hunger strike began on
Feb. 27 after guards stripped an
inmate of his turban, but partici
pants have told their captors
their primary concern is what will
happen to them.
increase each year with employee raises, utility
costs and other miscellaneous expenses. The
expected operating expense for 2002 is $2 mil
lion, up from $1.7 million in 2001.
Hodge said the expenses spent for operating
Reed Arena are very common for A&M’s market
size. Big shows like “Disney on Ice" bring in
revenue, but until the deficit is lowered. Reed is
still in trouble.
“A deficit for an arena the size of Reed is to be
expected," Hodge said. "The goal is not to neces
sarily make money, but rather break even.”
“The arena business is cyclical and spotty, but
this is no surprise," Hodge said.
