Picture I.D.’s for all
By CAROLYN BLOSSER
Battalion Sports Staff
A new intramural policy which
goes into effect Oct. 15 will require
Texas A&M University faculty, staff,
student spouses, and faculty or staff
spouses to show a pictured recrea
tion I.D. card before using intra
mural facilities.
J
e
Recreation I.D.’s can be pur
chased for $1 each between 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m. in the Intramural Office
Monday through Friday. They are
valid for one year.
The facilities and services in
cluded under the new policy are the
handball/racquetball courts in De-
Ware Fieldhouse, G. Rollie White
Coliseum, the tennis courts, all
sports equipment and all intramural
activities.
Under the new policy students
are still required to present a cur
rent student I.D.. Guest passes are
$1 per day and must be purchased
by the sponsor in the Intramural Of
fice or the DeWare check-out room.
Texas A&M alumni may use
facilities by purchasing a pass for $1
per day. Alumni must show proof of
graduation (Aggie ring, diploma,
etc.), accompanied by a driver’s li-
sence. A pictured I.D. and the rec
reation pass must be shown when
entering the facility.
Individuals who are not affiliated
with Texas A&M but who are mem
bers of recognized clubs and student
organizations must purchase a rec
reation I.D. card for $6 per semes
ter. They have access to the in
tramural facilities only when their
club is scheduled.
The recreation I.D.’s and passes
should help lessen the overcrowded
facilties, says Dennis Corrington,
director of the Intramural Office.
“The intramural facilities are here
for the use of people related to the
University,” he said. “We have a
problem in keeping the right people
in and the wrong people out. The
only way to do it is with a pictured
ID.”

policy, call 845-7826 or go by the
Intramural Office in DeWare Fiel

Drugs, alcohol kill player

United Press International
DURANGO, Colo. — A 23-
year-old football player died from
the combined effects of alcohol, a
pain killer and cocaine, La Plata
County District Attorney Craig
Westburg said Tuesday.
Jim Schick, a running back on last
year’s Fort Lewis College football
team, died Sept. 23 after returning
home from a party. Police said he
died in his sleep. Schick was taking
medication for a knee injury.
“The tragic death of a fine young
man should serve as notice to intelli
gent persons that cocaine is not as
harmless as some people believe,”
Westburg said in releasing the
coroner’s report on the death.
Westburg said the coroner found
the alcohol, pain killer and cocaine
combined in Schick’s blood to form
a lethal combination.

Texas A&M head coach Tom Wil
son opened his weekly press confer
ence Tuesday saying, with tongue-
in-cheek, he “didn’t want to talk
about Kyle Field, fumbles or
offsides calls.”
The Kyle Field situation has been
a sore spot for Wilson all season. The
problems with the growing stadium
are about to come to a head as the
scheduled home opener against the
University of Houston is just 10 days
away and the stadium’s third decks
are still nonexistent.
A statement issued by the office of
the president Tuesday annoymeed
that 7,000 fewer seats will be availa
ble for the Houston game due to
construction setbacks, lowering the
total number of seats for the game to
57,000. Although the stadium is
shrinking, the Houston game is still
scheduled to be played in Kyle next
week.
And just as the expansion comple
tion date continues to roll farther
away, the Aggies continue rolling
the football away on offense. In four
games this season, the Aggies have
fumbled the football 18 times, losing
14.
“Anything I say isn’t meant to be
critical of our offense, ” Wilson said,
“but I have to be fair. We re just
having a hard time holding on to the
football.
“Our consistency on offense is
being hurt by our fumbling. I feel
our fumbles are being caused by the

lack of practice time our people
have been able to get. Mike Mosley
has been sick off and on and Curtis
Dickey hasn’t had a whole lot of con
tact practice this year.
“And on the players’ behalf, some
of those fumbles against Memphis
State were just good contact fum
bles.”
One position that seems to be the
Bermuda Triangle for the Aggies
where players disappear as quickly
as they are moved there, is the of
fensive quick guard spot.
Four players have shared time at
the position this season and all four
are out for this week’s game against
Texas Tech.
Paul Huge Ely v Kyle Colson, Flint
Risien and last week’s starter, John
Osborn, are injured and will not see
action this week. Sophomore Bryan
Dausin is moving into the danger
zone against Tech.
“We haven’t been able to build
continuity in the line with new
people in there every week,” Wil
son said. “Our illegal procedure
penalties are being caused by the
lack of experience in the offensive
linemen were having to play. We
need to get people in there and keep
them healthy.”
Wilson admitted that the Aggies
offensive production has disap
pointed him so far this season. He
said would like to see the team go to
the air more often.
“I don’t think we’ve thrown the
ball enough,” Wilson said,
to get more production outi
passing game.
“Mosley has hit on 58,
his passes (on 41 attempt!
we’ve called more than he
Most of our passes are spi
that give him the option
pass he’s rim with the ball
I’d like him to have.”
One area that does have
smiling is the play of the Aj
fense. Wilson pointed out

other. Doug Carr leads the
with 49 stops. Mike Little
with 44.
“Everyone is carrying
and doing his share, ’ Wilson
“All of the starters are |
playing consistent foot!
improving every time they si
to the field.”
Wilson had but one thing
about the victory over
State Saturday night.
“It wasn’t an artistic gamCi
was a win for us. And I i
that.”
