other locations.
Aerolink says that during peak
periods, such as Christmas and
Spring Break, the majority of their
passengers are students. That num
ber decreases to around 30 percent
at other times. Reservations should
lie made one day in advance.
Although the number of airlines
in the area is limited, there are daily

For those students who want to
travel by car, the MSC Travel Com

the center. Students who need rides

checks

Associated Press
HOUSTON — The intensive ve
hicle searches that have snarled traf
fic crossing the border and strained
U.S.-Mexico relations are being
eased, a U.S. Customs spokesman
said Sunday.
Charles Conroy, public affairs di
rector for the customs region that in
cludes Texas, New Mexico and Ari
zona, said operations along the
entire 1,760-mile U.S.-Mexico bor
der should return to normal by
Monday night.
The time-consuming searches be
gan on Feb. 15. U.S. officials said
they were looking for clues about the
Feb. 7 abduction in Guadalajara,
Mexico, of Enrique Camarena Sala
zar, an agent of the U.S. Drug En
forcement Administration.
“The U.S. Customs Service will
begin returning to gradually a more
normal operation today beginning at
8 a.m. today,” Conroy said Sunday.
“We will still be keeping an alert for
information on the missing DEA
agent.”
Conroy said orders to relax the
searches came from customs head
quarters in Washington early Sun
day morning.
Mexican officials have com
plained that the huge traffic jams
created by the searches cut the num
ber of tourists visiting the Mexican
border towns and caused businesses
to sustain heavy financial losses.

Sheri Ryman, Miss Texas A&M
1981, acted as the Mistress of Cere
monies for the pageant.
Ryman said the Miss Texas A&M
University Pageant is not a beauty
pagaent but a scholarship pageant.
It is a division of the Miss Texas/Miss
America Program — the largest pri
vate scholarship program for
women in America.
As Miss Texas A&M 1985, Fritz
will receive a $1,000 scholastic schol
arship, a $1,000 wardrobe allowance
for the Miss Texas Pageant, a di
amond pendant from Zales, a one-
year membership to Shape Way and
a 1985 Cadillac courtesy of Allen
Olds-Cadillac-Honda (for official
use only).
Runners-up also receive schol
arships, jewlery from Zales and Miss
Texas A&M trophies. Individual
winners receive trophies.
The pageant theme was “A Night
In The South” and the 20 pageant
finalists performed two .prpduction
numbers accompanied by the Sing
ing Cadets and the Aggieland Or
chestra.
Kim Walters, Miss Texas A&M
1984, and Robert Walker, vice presi
dent of development, presented the
crown to Fritz. The crown was do
nated by Ryman’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Darwin Ryman.
Fritz said she plans to graduate in
1987 and is looking forward to the
next year as Miss Texas A&M. After
graduation Fritz would like to be
come involved with equine medicine.

Many Ciudad Juarez residents
have been boycotting businesses in
El Paso, Texas, where thousands of
Mexicans work and shop daily.
In Tijuana, across from San
Diego, Calif., a radio and newspaper
advertising campaign is urging Mex
ican residents not to visit the United
States.
Mexico’s ambassador to the
United States, Jorge Espinosa de los
Reyes, last week delivered a note to
U.S. officials expressing “deep con
cern” by the Mexican government
over the inspections.
Despite the deployment of hun
dreds of federal police on the Cama
rena case and a $50,000 reward of
fered by the United States, there has
been no hint of the agent’s fate.
