Rome, Athens, Budapest—and College Station?
Vote today at Freebirds World Burrito for the C.S. Bikeway Master Plan
By KEVIN COCHRAN
Paid Advertisement
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. While College
Station is years away from even
considering banning the operation
of motor vehicles, unfortunately
we are headed down that road
with nearly every other city in the
country.
Thirteen-trillion cubic yards of
motor vehicle exhaust is annually
thrust into the air we breathe,
ultimately poisoning our crops,
destroying our forests, and harm
ing uf> humans. For every gallon
of gasoline our automobiles burn,
twenty pounds of carbon dioxide
is spewed into the air, in addition
to nitrogen oxide, carbon monox
ide, hydrocarbons and others. In
fact, driving motor vehicles creates
more air pollution than any other
human activity.
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.
We must look beyond the
entrenched modes of trans
portation and endorse alternative
transport systems, like bikeways,
that provide for 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 must
overcome the problem of a
nonexistant bikeway master plan.
Now you can change that.
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 supp
ort bikeways in C.S. Our goal is
twofold: to provide the City
Council with at least 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 dollars 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. Wolf Pen Creek ampitheater
complex, and local schools.
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
speak for themselves. Once
bicycle travel is made safer and
more efficient with the develop
ment of planned bikeways, we can
all breathe a little easier. So vote
today at Freebirds World Burrito
for the C.S. Bikeway Master Plan.

Blue Jays take AL
Championship in
6-3 win over Sox
Lady Aggies
Continued from Page 5
The Associated Press
TORONTO - The cold, the
Chicago batters, the pressure of a
big game. None of it bothered
Dave Stewart.
Stewart, simply the best play
off pitcher ever, won the fourth
clincher of his career Tuesday
night by leading Toronto past the
White Sox 6-3 in Game 6.
Pat Borders, MVP of last year's
World Series, drove in his first
three runs of this series. His RBI
grounder put the Blue Jays ahead
3-2 in the fourth inning against
Alex Fernandez.
Devon White homered in the
ninth and Paul Molitor, the Blue
Jays' other offseason free agent
signing, hit a two-run triple in the
ninth, and that proved to be
enough.
The victory was Stewart's sec
ond in the series and made him a
perfect 8-0 with a 2.03 ERA in the
playoffs.
Toronto will play Game 1 Sat
urday night at SkyDome against
either Philadelphia or Atlanta.
With the win, the Phillies' and
Braves' NL playoff schedule was
changed; now. Game 6 in
Philadelphia will start at 7:12 p.m.
CDT, rather than 2:07.
holes and use our strengths be
cause we are a good hitting
team."
Wente countered:
"I'm just putting it up in the
air, and they're putting it away.
You just have to be deceptive and
try to give our hitters the best op
portunities to take the hardest and
the best swing every time.
"That's what I need to do."
Morgan may be out for the
Houston game because of a
sprained ankle suffered in A&M's
last game - a three-game sweep of
South Carolina.
Morgan said that Houston,
which boasts a 10-game winning
streak against A&M, is just like
everybody else who plays the
Lady Aggies: Hungry to beat
A&M.
"Every time we've played
Houston, they've been tough,"
Morgan said. " They're a good
team, a quick team, and they're
going to be running a fast of
fense."
Corbelli said the team has been
playing tough enough to beat
ranked opponents, but has come
up short with a 1-3 record against
those teams. A&M beat a 21st-
ranked Florida State team, but has
fallen to Texas, then-15th-ranked
Florida, and this past weekend to
15th-ranked Georgia.
The Georgia game snapped
A&M's eight-game winning
streak, and Corbelli said it was
major disappointment.
"I really thought the team was
ready to compete against a ranked
opponent because we had been
playing so well - and it didn't
happen," Corbelli said. “We just
know that we've still got a lot
work to do in the mental area
Getting ourselves ready and
being beat before we even start to
play.
"We've tried to identify some
ways to help the team to get over
being psyched-out and that type
of thing.' r
As for psyching other teams
out, Corbelli said that women 1
volleyball is moving toward being
less restrictive regarding courtbe-
havior and vocal expression.
"It can get really ugly andusu
ally volleyball players aren't used
to that, because it's supposed
be a real little, neat sport I
girls," Corbelli said wryly.
"I'm fine with it, 1 think they
need to let us be competitive, be
mean and really compete because
1 can't really ever imagine a refer
ee asking a male player to not say
(anything) ter an opponent."
And for the record on compcti
tion in women's athletics, Morgan
added:
"Just because we're females,
we're not any less competitive
than the football team is," Morgan
said smiling. "We have a lotof
heart and a lot erf fight. Believe"
me."

pounds per person, they will continue to rely on
their stable of running backs.
Jackson, a sophomore from Brenham, averages
82.5 yards per game, and other Baylor running
backs John Henry and Bradford Lewis av
erage 73.8 and 49.5 yards, respectively.
/V We're going to run the ball; we do that
every week," Jackson said. "We're going
to take whatever A&M gives us. Their de
fense is very pliysical and their defensive
line is one or the best in the country."
Jackson said Baylor approaches every
game as important, but Saturday's game is
crucial to the Bears.
"We go into every game thinking it's a
championship game," Jackson said. "We
have to play every game like it is for the
national championship."
Reedy also said that Saturday's game is an im
portant game for the Bears.
"This game is much bigger for us," Reedy said.
"Each conference game is a must-win for us if we
want to have a chanyj^ at going to the Cotton Bowl.
"We already have a conference loss and they
(A&M) don't, so they are in the driver's seat."
Reedy said that Baylor's defense, not their of
fense, will be the main focus for Saturday's contest.
"Defensively, we have to stop the run first/’
Reedy said. "We also must make sure that we!
don't give up the long pass."
Reedy said that A&M running backs Rodney
Thomas, Greg Hill and Leeland McElroy will be
hard to contain, but that his team is capa
ble of the task.
"All three of those guys could start any
where," Reedy said. "You can't really con ,
tain them.
Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum
said that Baylor's offense is very capable of
giving defenses a tough assignment.
"We've not faced this style of offense
this year," Slocum said. "It will be a great
challenge for our defense. Baylor has an
experienced quarterback and great run-
J y oing backs."
Slocum said that the Aggies will get the
bulk of their defensive worries from Baylor's quar
terback, who makes the Bears' big plays.
"He (Joe) keeps their offense rolling, rolling,
rolling and then he strikes/" Slocum said. "He's
dangerous, no doubt about i(."^ (

"The Weather Is Here, Wish You
Were Beautiful."
Huh? I'm just as big a Jimmy
Buffett fan as the next guy, but 1
don't think Jim meant that song
to be a little ditty about lost
yardage. I guess it was better
than him saying "On that sack
Aubrey Beavers told Shea
Morenz, "Whoomp! Here 1 am!"
So to help my broadcast
brothers, here are some songs to
use while still being ultra-hip.
Baseball.
Bob (using announcer's
voice): The pitch to Thompson.
Ball four, he walked him.
Tom (using announcer's
voice): That pitch was pretty
close but first base coach Tim
Samuleson gets to tell Thompson
to "Walk This Way". He gets to
"Walk down to Electric Avenue"
for the 86th time this season.
Bob: Next up is pitcher Sal
Johnson wlio will no doubt be
sacrificing. The pitch - lie puts
down a beauty down tlie line.
Third baseman Harrison grabs it,
throws it and nails Johnson af
first base.
Tom (being ultra-cool): Man
ager Robinson asked his pitcher
to sacrifice and he got the job
done. Last time he was swing
ing for the fences, but this time
he wanted him to "Lay Down
Sally." A great job!
Bob: That brings up Patterson
with Thompson on second. The
pitch - it's a long fly ball to left
field; Simpson goes back but
he'll never catch it. This ball is
gone, the 44th homerun for
Simpson this season.
Tom (being extremely cool):
Patterson got the pitch he want
ed and sent it on a "Stairway to
Heaven." Pitcher Hal Timpson
must be "Dazed and Confused"
after throwing what looked like
a perfect pitch.
Football
Dick (using announcer's
voice): Sanders fades back but
Lender is there and sacks him in
the end zone. Two points for the
Rhinos!
Jim (being almost as cool as
Tom): You know Dick, Lender
can do his "Safety Dance" now.
Lender and Sanders love each
other like brothers off the field,
but we know that football is a
battlefield - proving once and
for all that "Love is a Battle
field".
Dick (big frown): The
Bombers will now have to kick
to the Rhinos. Punter Ron Luper
booms one, and it's taken on the
13 yard line by Schroeder.
Schroeder gets past the 22 before
he is tackled.
Jim (dying of coolness): Good
run by Schroeder you know he
"Do, Run-Run-Run, A Do, Run-
Run."
Dick (slapping Jim to the
ground): Oxenberger hands oft
to Jaeger wlio's hit at the line
breaks out of the tackle. He's at
the 30, he's at 40, he's at 50,
Jaeger has to change direction
again, the man is gone. Touch
down Rhinos!
Jim (cool squared): You know
Dick, Jaeger had to take "The
Long and Winding Road" to gel
to that end zone.
Dick (taking his gun ou
