"We need statistics to show
criminal activity will not go up in
the community once a prison is es
tablished," Kaplan said.
Another resident. Chuck An
derson, said he agrees that the
state needs more prisons, but he
doesn't think Brazos County is a
good choice.
"Two prisons in the communi
ty is not positive," he said, refer
ring to the state prison for women
that already operates in Bryan.
Alan Fish, executive vice presi
dent of the B-CS Chamber of
Commerce said, however, he has
not received any calls in opposi
tion of the proposed prison.
"I think that's fairly representa
tive of what the people in the com
munity think," Fish said.
Robert Worley, president of the
B-CS Economic Development Cor
poration, said the corporation is
the official sponsor of the propos
al, but it received help from sever
al local organizations and busi
nesses.
"The reason the corporation
got involved in the location of the
state prison is because we believe
it would have a very positive im
pact on the economy," Worley
said. "We hope to get one."

THE SEARCH FOR RANDOMNESS
I will examine our primitive images of random phenomena: tossing a coin, throwing a dart at the wall, and
shuffling cards. In each case, analysis shows that in practice we’re lazy and things aren't terribly random. I
will try to connect these examples with recent philosophical thought about randomness.
The Discipline and Profession of Statistics
The Department of Statistics at Texas A&M is in the College of Science but impacts all colleges; it
provides significant support to the university's goal of increasing multidisciplinary research. The faculty
members in Statistics balance the department's multiple missions: research at the frontiers of theoretical,
applied, and computational statistics; collaboration in multi disciplinary research; education of broadly
trained statisticians, and students with other majors; service; consulting. The Department of Statistics
currently has approximately 25 faculty and 75 graduate students. For information about undergraduate or
graduate programs in Statistics consult Professor Fred Dahm (845-3152).
