Thursday is the 200th anniver sary of the signing of the United States Constitution and a nation wide tribute has been planned to celebrate this significant event in IjJ.S. history. I The national commission on the bicentennial of the United States Constitution has invited Te xas A&M — along with every American and every institution — to participate in “Bells Across America — A Ringing Tribute to the Constitution.” ■ A&M’s political science honor SO' iety, Pi Sigma Omega, has or ganized A&M’s part in the event, said Dr. Bonnie Browne, PSO ad viser. ■ Exa York of A&M’s Educatio nal Information Services said a ringing tribute from the Albrit ton Tower will start Thursday at 3 p.m., the time of the signing of the Constitution. Bells will be ringing simultaneously across the nation for 200 seconds, York said. H EIS is responsible for prepar ing the tower’s electronic bell sys tem to play patriotic music before .pealing the bells. Twc^umdi^t^^d^whitt^an^ blue helium-filled balloons will be released by students, one per sec ond, York said.

The procession will pass by Rudder Fountain on the way to the Westgate Memorial on the corner of the drill field, York said, and students may join the celebration at any time. Browne said her participation in this project is aimed at getting students interested in the bicen tennial year. Browne said she’s hoping the tribute v\'ill spur re flection on the blessings of liberty and ideals of justice made possi ble by the Constitution. “The Constitution is really im portant,” Browne said. “Ho wever, it is of no value if it does not live in people’s hearts and minds.” The document was formed when, on Sept. 17, 1787, 39 men signed their names to it, establish ing the world’s first government of the people, by the people and for the people. People with questions about Bells Across America should con tact Browne at 845-2121 or York at 845-4600. Litter slogan helps keep roads clean AUSTIN (AP) — Texas’ tough- talking advertising program to stop littering along its roadways is paying off, the state highway department said Tuesday. The $2 million-a-year “Don’t mess with Texas” campaign began two years ago and the department re leased results of a survey Tuesday that showed visible litter in Texas has decreased by 54 percent since 1985. “I don’t know if it was Stevie Ray Vaughan’s growl, Randy White’s menacing threat, Mike Scott’s explo sive pitching or volunteer efforts by thousands of Texans, but Texas is no longer losing the war against trash on our roadsides,” said Don Clark, director of the highway de partment’s travel and information division. The survey by the Institute for Applied Research in Sacramento, Calif, also showed soft drink- and beer-container littering had declined by 66 percent during the past two years. Clark said state cleanup efforts cost nearly $50 million in 1985-86 but the annual cost increase has de clined from 15-20 percent a year to 6.5 percent. Besides the “Don’t mess with Texas” slogan, the department be gan the “Adopt-a-Highway” pro gram in which volunteers remove trash from two-mile sections of road ways. In July, 4,700 miles, or 6 per cent of state-maintained roads, were being cleaned by volunteers. Litter ing is decreased by more than 64 percent in areas with volunteers cleaning the roadsides. “In Texas we are making litter an unacceptable behavior with a tough message that, while it has had its mo ments of controversy, is now a popu lar battle cry that rivals ‘Remember the Alamo,’ ” Clark said.
