Rome, Athens, Budapest—and College Station?
Vote today at Freebirds World Burrito for the C.S. Bikeway Master Plan
By KEVIN COCHRAN

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.

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.

yard pass to junior wide receiver Brian Mitchell, who
caught the ball over two Baylor defenders.
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."
After junior free safety Michael Hendricks and
nior inside linebacker Jason Atkinson tripped
Bears senior quarterback JJ. Joe on a critical foi

Aggies. 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?"
Leeland McElroy's
nine-yard touchdown
run sealed the Aggies'
