Aggie Cinema information hotline—847-8478. Voters. Continued from page 1 cant difference in the race.” Winn said he is required by law to make a list of these people and the counties. He sent this list to voting sites to deter those who never regis tered in Brazos County from signing affidavits to vote here. “I offered the list to them to help because every year they have to call me and ask who is on the list,” he said. “This really slows the voting process down tremendously.” Lewis disagrees with the list. “The election code is clear on what printed material may be in the polling place,” he said. “This is clearly a ploy to intimidate these vot ers and keep them from voting beca- sue Aggies historically vote Republi can. If the voter wanted to vote in their home county, they would not have addressed the registration card to Brazos County.” Winn, however, said he does not want to prohibit anyone from vot- ing. “There’s no one who has worked harder to get these people to vote,” Winn said. “I’m not in some plot against the students.” He said he discussed the issue with representatives in the Texas secretary of state’s office and de cided to run an ad in The Battalion explaining the law. The ad, how ever, never was submitted, and Winn said he does not know why it did not run. “I wanted to inform anyone that may be confused about the registra tion form so that they would not show up at the polls and demand to vote by affidavit and then later have to answer that vote with criminal charges,” Winn said. He maintained his office did ev erything within its power to inform students that local addresses must be submitted if they wanted to vote in Brazos County. “We even had new applications printed that were different from what the secretary of state’s office furnishes us,” Winn said. “(The new Parking Continued from page 1 cember until school began in Jan uary, and we didn’t enforce red and blue lots; but we are not doing that anymore,” Mathis says. She says this created more confu sion for students than it did good. “We decided a complete enforce ment of all areas would dispel a lot of the confusion that creates com plaints toward parking,” she says. “Because PTTS is enforcing park ing (regulations) during holidays, students, faculty and staff utilizing the shuttle bus service will be given free temporary parking permits to red or blue parking areas during the time the shuttle bus system is not of fering off-campus service,” Mathis says. “We realize it is not the fault of the student who rides the bus that the bus does not run during holi days, and they should not be penali zed.” Temporary permits will be issued for the Thanksgiving holiday. The parking department spent a lot of money and time this year to educate students and faculty about parking rules and regulations, she says. Mathis says the new rules and reg ulations pamphlet was redesigned so it could be understood with ease and convenience. “I bet you there were over 100 parking rules that we had last year that we don’t have this year,” Mathis says. “I think by ridding ourselves of these unrealistic expectations we have an informative booklet.” Mathis believes the best advice she can give to people parking on cam pus is to read the rules and regula tions manual. The A&M administrator says she is looking to the future for campus parking problems to be eliminated. “Once the University Center Ga rage opens we will be over the hump,” Mathis says. “The new ad ministration realizes there is a park- Clean Air. Continued from page 1 crease the greenhouse effect.” Dr. Jim Scoggins, professor of meteorology at Texas A&M, says the act is good, but some cities, including Los Angeles, already have strict reg ulations. “Whatever they are doing to im prove air quality, it’s high time the United States got better standards nationwide,” Scoggins says. Texas Air Control Board worker Tom Larkin says passage of the clean air act gives states the authority to protect more effectively the atmo sphere from the addition of air pol lutants. The board is the agency that mon itors air quality and sets air standards for the state. “Industry now has available to it better-controlled technology that re duces pollutants emitted into the at mosphere,” Larkin says. “As industry comes to state regu latory agencies for permits, they will be introduced to implementing the new technologies on their process operations to clean up the air,” he says. Larkin says the act will be an im- applications had) instructions at the top that (students) had to give a local address if they wanted to vote in Brazos County.” Whether voters listed Brazos County as their permanent resi dence, they still can vote in the local area, Lewis said. “If a resident of Brazos County has dutifully filled the registration card out a month before the election date, he or she has the right to vote here,” he said. “They just have to vote by affidavit, which is a form swearing that they did register in time. The only problem will be in finding the right voting site.” He said attempts are being made to contact these 1,705 on the list, in cluding more than 400 people who made an error on their cards. “We are urging people who be lieve they might be one of the people on the list to go to the polls and see if they are on it.” Voters with problems can call the Texas Secretary of State Hotline, 1- 800-252-VOTE. ing problem, and they are willing to address it. I have never worked in an organization that is so service- oriented, and that is important to get things done.” Mathis is gearing the next few years toward customer service and has recommended a plan to provide parking department customer-serv ice representatives to be available to parking violators immediately after a citation is given. “The person can talk about the ticket, handle it right away and not have to wait four to six weeks for the appeal decision,” she says. “This will provide an immediate solution, and it will also be offering students and faculty education,” she says. “Eventually, if we can educate enough people, and they realize they are getting ready service, then I think we will almost eliminate the parking problem at A&M.” provement for air resources from Texas and other states. “I believe it is important to finally begin to take better care of the atmo sphere to insure a healthy supply of air to breathe,” Larkin says. The board works with businesses to provide better air and to ensure new technologies are implemented by all industries. The president is expected to sign the act, supported by U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, and U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bensten, D-Texas. Restaurant Report Restaurants listed below were inspected by the Brazos County Health Department from Oct. 22 through Oct. 26.
