A&M leads pack,

ADVICE FROM
AN OLD
SOLDIER
They say I was the most brilliant general
in history.
l
Before my thirtieth birthday, I conquered
virtually all the ancient world. I led one
hundred battalions into battle, and the
loyalty of my troops was legendary.
But if I were alive today, the U.S. Army I
wouldn’t even let me enlist, just because /
was gay.
Before they lose more good soldiers,
someone should tell them they're fighting
the wrong war.
Stop Anti-Gay Discrimination in
the Military.

After years of being an also-
ran, the Texas A&M cycling team
seems to have broken away from
the pack.
Last weekend in Waco, the Ag
gie cyclists solidified their lead in
the South Central Collegiate Cy
cling Conference with a command
performance at the Tour del Oso.
The South Central conference
is made up of teams from Texas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana and
Arkansas.
The Aggies were 200 points
ahead of the Texas Longhorns in
overall conference standings be
fore the weekend stagerace and
will probably extend that lead
when the results become official.
A&M cycling team president
John Pommier said the Aggies
dominated all aspects of the race.
"We were the aggressors,"
Pommier said. "The other teams
were fighting to just keep up with
us. We had seven guys in the lead
all the time and just controlled the
race. We were just wearing them
out."
The riders were divided into
A, B and C categories, with A be
ing the most difficult and C the
easiest. Each rider was required
to compete in three separate
events: a 2.2 mile time trial, a road
race and a criterium.

In category C, Aggie cyclist Jeff

"It hasn't been 'Look what
I've" done this year," Pommier
said. "(The riders) don't look at
themselves after a race. They
want to help the team do well."
Julie Barter, who finished fifth
in the women's division, said the
Aggies controlled the race.
"We placed in every category
and just completely ran off with

Barter said.

NEW YORK (AP) - Michael
Jordan won't be punished by the
NBA following an investigation of
published reports about gambling
by the Chicago Bulls star.
NBA commissioner David
Stern said Tuesday that the league
found no cause for disciplinary ac
tion against Jordan, who reported
ly gambled on golf and cards with
a convicted cocaine dealer and an
other North Carolina man who

robbery.
The NBA concluded its probe
