To The Citizens of Brazos County:
I promise to return the Sheriffs Office back to the moral and
ethical standards that the citizens of Brazos County deserve.
My opponent is stating I don't want Aggies to vote. This is not true. I have children who
attended A&M in the 70's and my son is now a senior at A&M.

War leaves racing camels fat
JANADRIYA, Saudi Arabia
(AP) — The Gulf War left behind
a lot of fat camels, and those one
time ships of the desert now are
either working out at the race
track, or ending up on the barbe
cue.
The racetracks were closed
during the war, and noble
dromedaries turned into desert
dumplings. Nearly a year later,
some are still sand-dune potatoes.
"They got fat, happy and lazy.
Some can't even race anymore,"
said jockey Breig Mubarak, 25.
A good racing hump should be
about as wide as a man's hand is
long. By war's end, some camels
had humps as broad as a man's
forearm is long.
The day the war ended, the
races resumed. And through the
hot summer months the camel
owners came up with a solution
for getting rid of the flab — work
outs at midnight, when the desert
temperatures are cool.
Jockeys and owners say the
camel elite were up to par for the
recent three days of races that
open the annual Janadriya Cultur
al Festival, organized by the coun
try's National Guard.
But they notice a lot more
galumphing toward the end of the
12 1/2-mile races — they are run
ning 50 minutes instead of the ide
al 30.
Camels that get out of shape
risk more than losing some races.
They can wind up on a barb«
spit if they do not prove useful.
But a young camel that wins
races three years in a row can
fetch up to $530,000 at auction.
The races attract notables from
Saudi Arabia's royal family,
which includes about 3/
princes. King Fahd was on hand
for the season's first race.
Some princes are content to
watch from deep couches in
stands.
Others clamber aboard buses
fitted with padded armchairs to
chase around the track keeping
pace with the runners so they can
watch their prize beasts.
World Briefs
Pope returns to
Africa
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John
Paul II is returning to Africa
this week for the eighth time in his pa
pacy, seeking to encourage
cooperation with Islam in visits to
three largely Muslim countries.
The week-long trip, starting Wednes
day, will take the pope to the West
African countries of Senegal, Gambia
and Guinea, all with tiny Roman
Catholic minorities.
He will meet with Muslim leaders and
representatives of traditional African
religions.
Christianity and Islam are ancient ri
vals in Africa, and the Polish-born
pope is expected to call for coopera
tion and brotherhood, as he has on
past trips.
Low voter turnout
in Hungary
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — A parlia
mentary district in northwest Hungary
failed for the sixth time to turn out the
vote needed to elect a deputy.
Only 9.86 percent of the 44,868 voters
cast ballots in Sunday’s by-election,
state radio reported Monday.
Although there was only one candidate
running, the turn-out was well below
the mandatory 25 percent.
Opinion polls reflect broad voter disen
chantment with politics since the first
free elections in more than 40 years
were held in 1990.
Voters had expected a quick rise in the
higher standard of living after four
decades of communism. But the
switchover from a centrally planned
economy with the highest per capita
foreign debt in the former Communist
bloc to a market economy has brought
a great deal of hardship.
