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 u£ 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. FREEBIRDS ^501] BURRITO 319 UNIVERSITY DRIVE, NORTHGATE PAID ADVERTISEMENT Page 8 The Battalion Monday, October 18,1- Phillies beat Blue Jays, 6-4 The Associated Press off.

A&M women's volleyball wins t\v By Nick Georgandis The Battalion The Texas A&M Lady Aggie volleyball team extended its win ning streak to four straight match es by knocking off both Northern Illinois and Northeastern Louisiana this past weekend at G. Rollie White Coliseum. But Saturday night's win against the UNL Lady Indians was a bittersweet one for the Lady Aggies. In the third set of the 15- 6, 15-7, 15-9 victory, senior setter and outside hitter Genny Wood suffered an ankle injury when one of the Lady Indians landed on her foot. Wood had to be helped from the court and her status is listed as questionable for A&M's Wednes day match against Texas Tech. A&M head coach Laurie Cor- belli said she was very disap pointed with the injury. "I was afraid that something was going to happen to a starter , Corbelli said. "It's going to hin der Genny some and she's such an important part of our team." The Aggies moved to 20-4 on the season with the win. A&M's victory Friday night Monday, Oc JULI PHILLIP DAVE THOA BELINDA BL MACK HARR was a different story.

A&M capped off the 10 play, 67-yard drive when Pullig hit a wide open Clif Groce in the end zone for a four-yard touchdown pass to give the Aggies a 27- 17 lead. Groce said that he was pleased with the offense's performance against the Bears. "I feel real good about how we played on offense today," the junior running back said. "We came down here and we said it was going to be a physical game and we moved the ball real well today." Mitchell, who caught four passes for 74 ya;; said that he was happy to contribute to the win and that he was fortunate to have the! thrown his way several times on Saturday. "It was a big win for us on the road," said. "I feel like anybody we have at the (receiti position could have done the same thing."

That's my yell," he said. ,, As A&M's ability to stop the Bears in the second quarter dwin dled, so did the Baylor fan's insults increase. "Hey, you guys are weak," he shouted. "If you guys are so good, how come you ain't beating us, huh?" For the Aggie faith ful, the halftime score of 10-10 was disheartening enough. But the con stant jeers from the op position of one in the stands started to wear on their nerves. "I'd like to punch that guy's lights out," said one frustrated Ag gie. Some others ex pressed a similar senti ment, but they could not be quoted in a fami ly newspaper like this one. They were saved, however, by the perfor mance of A&M quarter back Corey Pullig. Pul lig had arguably his best aerial results of the year, completing 21 passes in 28 attempts for 230 yards. He was consistently moving the Aggie offense down the field in the second half and even threw the game-icing touchdown to running back Clif Groce early in the fourth quarter. But give the Baylor fan credit. He wouldn't give up. Even though his team was down, 27- 17, the ranting and rav ing didn't quit. In fact, the comments started getting personal. "That's all right. We're gonna come back and whip y'all," the man uttered. After one Aggie fan kept remind ing him to look at the scoreboard, the Baylor fan told him, "You're so ugly, your mama won't even look at you." Soon, it became obvi ous that he was grasp ing for things to say. After the referee made an offsides call against A&M, he said, "It's about time. Did the Ag gies pay you refs off?"
