Down to earth
now that Air
Jordan is gone
I made a vow
when I be
gan writing
for the sports
page to never
write a column
about Michael
Jordan.
Every half-
baked sports-
writer has ex
pounded on the
abilities of the
Chicago Bulls'
star knowing
full well that
anyone who
sees Jordan
play will draw
the same conclusions in about - oh -
30 seconds.
I always figured anyone who
knew anything about sports didn't
need me to tell them what was bla
tantly obvious, that we have wit
nessed in our lifetime the greatest
show on earth.
With the possible exception of
Babe Ruth, there has never been an
individual that has made such an im
pact on his or her chosen sport than
Jordan has. And with no exception
has there ever been a greater athlete.
But now the show's over. With Jor
dan's retirement from basketball, the
sports world has been deprived of its
main event. His retirement also
forced my hand. I feel obligated, and
honored, to review the career of the
man they call Air.
Coming out of North Carolina in
1984, Jordan didn't appear to be so
special. Most people were drawn to
his teammates, James Worthy and
Sam Perkins. Worthy was already in
the pros making headlines alongside
Magic Johnson with the Lakers in '84,
while Perkins was the young buck on

Harrison reaches for A&M reception record
Kyle Bumett/THB Battalion
Texas A&M senior wide receiver Tony Harrison (3) readies himself to make a move on Houston freshman
cornerback Delmonico Montgomery (14) in the Aggies' 34-10 victory over the Cougars at Kyle Field.
By Michael Plumer
The Battalion
Quietly, he is closing in on the record. Fanfare has
not surrounded his pursuit, but that has been his style
during his four years at Texas A&M.
In the A&M offense, where the run comes before the
pass, A&M senior wide receiver Tony Harrison has
made the most of his pass-catching opportunities.
Now, a spot in the record book is being cleared for his
receiving skills.
Harrison needs only 155 yards to break former A&M
wideout Shea Walker's school record for receiving
yards. Currently, Harrison has 1,256 yards.
In typical fashion, Harrison downplayed his efforts
in obtaining the record.
"At the beginning of the season, I thought about it,"
Harrison said. "But I have not thought about it lately
because if I do, it could take its toll.
"The record will be great when it comes, but my
main goal is to help us win football games."
A&M wide receivers coach David Culley said that
when Harrison breaks the record, it will not only be a
compliment to Harrison but the A&M program as a
whole.
"There is no question the record will happen,
whether it be this Saturday or another Saturday during
the season," Culley said. "Tony has been an outstand
ing player for us, and it will be a great tribute."
Harrison's development as a top-notch player has
followed a natural progression. As a freshman, he
only caught five passes but made a big jump the next
year when he hauled in 33 balls as a sophomore.
Now in his final season, A&M foes have taken to
double-teaming him, which has opened up the passing
game this season for other receivers.
"So far, Tony has done well but he really has not had
a lot of opportunities because our first few opponents
have double-teamed him," Culley said. "That has cut
down on the number of passes thrown to him because
we have to change the plays due to the defense they are
in.
"But, he does things in games we don't talk about in
practice like making route adjustments on the fly and
he is a great run blocker.
"Right now, I am telling Tony to be patient because
the catches will come.
Harrison said playing wide receiver for A&M can be
a frustrating experience because of the Aggies' depen
dence on the running game. But he said he expected
that when he decided to come to A&M over such pass
ing schools as Houston and Colorado.
Harrison had a desire to play as a true freshman and
only A&M offered the chance. Now, the Houston For
est Brook product has become the elder statesman of
the receiving corps.
"My main job is to keep my segment of the team in
tact and to keep them from getting frustrated," Harri
son said. "At times, we were not getting enough balls.
Everybody's human and I try to hold the frustration
down."
Culley said Harrison is able to be an effective leader
because of the experience he has gained and the inexpe
rience of the other wide receivers.
"Tony has been through all that and he knows the
most important thing is to win," Culley said. "At
A&M, you have to do more blocking and when the
catches come, you have to be ready."
Culley also said Harrison is like having another
coach on the field.
"On Thursday afternoons, I have to leave to go on
recruiting trips, and Tony gets the guys together and
keeps them in line," he said. "Tony makes them under
stand that they should be happy to win on Saturday,
which is the bottom line."
But winning does not cure all ills. Harrison said
there have been times when he has approached Culley
about attempting to diversify the offense.
"The coaches have done a great job of getting me
more involved in the offense," Harrison said. "We
have been running inside screens where I get the ball
but there is room for improvement. We need to be
come more balanced.
"I think that is why we have struggled the past two
years in the Cotton Bowl because we were not able to
pass. But this is a new year and I hope if we do make it
back to the Cotton Bowl, things will hopefully be differ
ent."

Thirteen-trillion cubic yards of
motor vehicle exhaust is annually
thrust into the air we breathe,
ultimately poisoning our crops,
destroying our forests, and
harming us humans. For every
gallon of gasoline our auto
mobiles burn, twenty pounds of
carbon dioxide is spewed into the
air, in addition to nitrogen oxide,
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and others. In fact, driving motor
vehicles creates more air pollution
than any other human activity.
Motor vehicle pollution is so
catastrophic in cities such as
Rome, Athens, Mexico City, Sao
Paulo, Budapest and others, that
bans on operating motor vehicles
are commonplace. Also, when
two-thirds of the land area of Los
Angeles is dedicated to road
ways and parking, you know
something is wrong.
Here in Texas, we have our own
problems: the highest emissions of
nitrogen oxides in-the country at
over two times the California
levels (the next highest state).
Further, Houston, Dallas/Fort
Worth, Beaumont/Port Arthur,
and El Paso have seriously
harmful motor vehicle ozone
emission levels, and San Antonio,
Austin and Corpus Christi are in
danger of being added to the list.
In ten years could College Station
be next?
We must look beyond the
entrenched modes of trans
portation and endorse alternative
transport systems, like bikeways,
that provide easy and safe
mobility, while not harming our
environment or sapping our
economy. City engineers have to
design for shared roadways, and
motorists have to learn to share
them. Bicyclists then must learn
to ride responsibly. But first we
need to overcome the problem of a
nonexistant bikeway plan. Now
you can change that.
Dennis Tram escaped with minor injuries following a bicycle accident
near the Reed McDonald Building. Four months ago a man was killed
while biking on Wellborn Road.
October 28 the College Station
City Council will vote on the
Bikeway Master Plan immediately
following a public hearing at City
Hall Council Chambers beginning
at 7 p.m. Freebirds World Burrito
and the Texas Bicycle Coalition
will make statements and present
lists of names of those who
support bikeways in C.S. Our
goal is twofold: to provide the
City Council with 2,000 or more
signatures and to have at least 50
supporters attend the hearing.
By adopting the Bikeway Master
Plan designed by city transpor
tation officials. College Station
will be entitled to apply for
more than $1 million in federal
funding for bikeways. Upon
funding the city will develop a
continuous loop of bike lanes,
routes, and paths linking the
university with residential,
commercial, and entertainment areas.

Why is Freebirds taking such an
active stance on this particular
issue? In addition to the need for
business environmental and social
resposibility, and the chance to
enhance life for A&M students,
the two-restaurant chain was
founded in Isla Vista, California
(adjacent to U.C. Santa Barbara),
where 80% of students use
bicycles as their primary means of
transportation. In fact, a bike-thru
window will be introduced soon
at Freebirds in California.
Besides the positive environ
mental effects of bicycle riding,
Freebirds is concerned about
safety. Each year in this country
approximately one-half million
people are admitted to a hospital
emergency room and over 1,000
people die due to bicycle-related
accidents. In Texas, there are at
least 50 bicycle fatalities per year.
The health and fitness benefits
of bicycling speak for themselves.
Once bicycle travel is made safer
and more efficient with the
development of planned bike
ways, we can all breathe a little
easier. So vote today at Freebirds
rM World Burrito for the C.S.
Bikeway Master Plan.
