The election to decide if voters
approve the sale of bonds to raise
money for the low-track project will
be in July, August or September.
Ringer said he is not sure how the
citizens of College Station feel about
selling bonds for the low-track pro
ject.
“The voters must decide what’s
important to them,” Ringer said.
“There are a lot of other issues to
consider.”
He said if the low-track project is
not supported by enough citizens,
the bond election process must start
over and win approval before con-
low-trac

Ringer said the project would in
crease the traffic capacity of Well
born Road and help the city provide
emergency service to property west
of the railroad tracks.
Zeigler said if the project is ap
proved by A&M and College Station
voters, construction will begin in two
years or more.
The proposed budget for the pro
ject is $35 million. The City of Col
lege Station would pay $2 million,
the City of Bryan would pay $2.9
million, Texas A&M would pay $6.6
million and the State Department of
Public Highways and Transporta
tion would pay $23.5 million.
Money owed by the highway de
partment includes funds from state
revenue sources, the Federal High
way Administration and railroad
companies.
Zeigler said railroad companies
usually contribute 5 percent of con
struction costs of similar projects.
Because Wellborn Road is part of
the state highway system (FM Road
2154), lowering the road is the state’s
financial responsibility, Zeigler said.
“The State Highway Commission
decided the separation of rail traffic,
highway traffic and cross-street traf
fic also is a state responsibility,” he
said.
Local governments are responsi
ble for providing all right-of-way for
the project and clearing all utility
lines, such as water, sewer and elec
tric lines.
A&M is responsible for adjusting
all underground on-campus utility
lines.
Zeigler said A&M wants to land
scape the walkways built across the
lowered tracks and road if the pro
ject is approved.

•This product has no connection whatever with the American National Red Croat
concerning racism, but they cannot
say they understand racism,” he
said. “You have to be in a person’s
shoes to understand what they are
going through.”
Martin and the person who re
ceived the letter said they both be
lieve tension at A&M is running high
concerning racial issues.
Things aren’t as bad at A&M as
they are at other universities that
have had violent incidents, Martin
said. But, he said, A&M has a prob
lem with students not being inter
ested in issues that don’t concern
A&M.
“If it doesn’t concern A&M stu
dents, then they are not interested,”
Martin said. “They talk about A&M
traditions and other (A&M) things
being important, but no one wants to
talk about racism.”
Koldus said the only way to deal
with racism and situations like the
letter is by educating people.
“Education is, has been and al
ways will be the key,” Koldus said.
“You have to get people really think
ing through what they are saying
and how it applies to every human
being.”
Director of Security and Univer
sity Police Bob Wiatt said the student
who received the racist letter cannot
file harassment charges because she
was not directly threatened with
bodily harm or injury.
He said that as unfortunate and
derogatory as the letter might be, it
expresses an opinion and is not in vi
olation of federal postal regulations.
Wiatt has not seen a copy of the let
ter and the student did not report
the incident to the University Police
Department.

with a strep throat rash.”
Juarez said that in certain cases
the disease can be fatal.
“It depends mainly on complica
tions that stem from the disease,”
she said. “The condition of your
body at the time you contract the dis
ease also plays a major role. Things
like eating right and getting enough
sleep all contribute to the severity of
the disease.”
Twelve people have died from
measles in Texas since October
1988, a Texas Department of Health
official in Austin said.
“The average is to have two or
three deaths per 3,000 cases of mea
sles,” Wes Hodgson, from the health
department, said.
Hodgson said that 35 to 40 conn
ties across Texas have confirmed re
ports of measles.
“The endemic areas are El Paso,
Laredo, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston
and Denton,” Hodgson said.
He said the first reported out
break of measles occurred in Hous
ton in October 1988.
Health department officials be
lieve the disease filtered up from
Mexico.
“There were 17,000 cases and 300
deaths in Mexico in 1989,” Hodgson
said.
Last year there were 3,500 cases
reported in Texas, he said.
Hodgson also said the increased
outbreak of measles has not been
limited to Texas.
“It’s nationwide, all over us,” he
said. “Cases have been reported in
Florida, California and Illinois.”
