CLAY Sportswriter L et's give t h e Philadel phia Phillies a round of ap plause. De spite an appar ent lack of ath letic ability, the boys from the town of brotherly love managed to win their divi sion, the Na tional League pennant and then lose in the sixth game of the World Series to a great Toronto Blue Jays team. However, many baseball fans have asked how in the world a bunch of to bacco-chewing, large-waisted, long haired hooligans ever got that far m the first place. Major League Baseball is supposed to be evolving into a game of refine ment where the players are re spectable athletes - clean and intellec tual. Right? Well, along came the Phillies who shocked the faint-hearted with gar gantuan wads of tobacco, ripped pants, unshaven jowls and unceasing, inane humor. It appeared that they had set baseball back about two decades. The '93 version of the Phillies could have been called a lot of things; however, model athletes is not among the descriptions that come to mind. Before the game, they sat in the dugout for hours smoking cigarettes See Clay/Page 6 ■P* 1 l ^ jk ^ ■ ^ ’J&iSLm h iipM *: illlllllllllli mi ■.A -» « - < Ir >' -■ :is < 4 < * * * v-■& ! Kyle Bumctt/The Battalion A&M freshman midfielder Jamie Csizmadia wards off a Hilltoppers' defender as they race for the ball. The Aggies are now 11 -3- 1 in the season. A&M will face New Mexico in their first game of the Aggieland Invitational 3:30 this Friday at Old Tiger Field. Csizmadia, Koop take Aggies to 4-1 win over Hilltoppers By Jose de Jesus Ortiz The Battalion Texas A&M Lady Aggie soccer team dominated the St. Edwards Hilltoppers for the second time this season, scoring 4- 1 Monday at Old Tiger Stadium and im proving their record to 11-3-1. A&M's Jamie Csizmadia and Kristen Koop lead the attack on the Hilltoppers (6-8) as they delivered two goals each. But head coach Gerald Guerrieri said he was pleased with the overall team effort. "The girls are trying hard to develop quality goals," he said, "and all of our goals were quality goals." Csizmadia scored the first goal 27 min utes into the game, drilling a free kick past the outstretched arms of the Hilltop pers goalkeeper Monica Egelhof and making the Hilltoppers pay for fouling her. Csizmadia, who recently had a six- game scoring streak snapped at SMU and leads A&M in scoring with 25 points, said that future opponents might be better served if they do not upset the freshman forward. "I was getting hacked off because.the girl defending me kept pulling my shirt," Csizmadia said. "So I said, I think I'll score this one." Shortly after entering the game, Koop broke loose from her defender and blast ed the ball in the net for the Lady Aggies' second goal. "Coming off the bench, I want to play with high intensity and be aggressive," Koop said. "I probably don't shoot as much as I should, but-I just want to give 100 percent." For the second game in a row, junior defender Kristi Dillinger drew the Lady Aggies' opponent's best offensive player.

Final hearing tonight for $1 million C.S. bikeways Vote today at Freebirds World Burrito for the C.S. Bikeway Master Plan By Kevin Cochran itute eness :t the 5-8770.1 On 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, 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 responsibility, 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. The experience of working in a bike town has helped Freebirds people understand the positive effects of using bicycles in place of automobiles. In fact, a bike-thru window will be introduced soon at Freebirds in California. Driving motor vehicles creates more air pollution than any other human activity. 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 Hundreds of bikes are parked next to a dorm in Isla Vista, California, the student town of U.C. Santa Barbara. Over I 1,000 residents use bicycles as their primary means of transportation in the town of 14,000. gasoline our automobiles burn, twenty pounds of carbon dioxide is spewed into the air, along with nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and others. Motor vehicle pollution is so catastrophic in cities such as Rome, Athens, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, and Budapest, that bans on operating motor vehicles are commonplace. Clearly something is wrong when two-thirds of the land area of Los Angeles is dedicated to roadways and parking. 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 harmful motor vehicle ozone emission levels, and San Antonio, Austin and Corpus FREEBIRDS EEI5BI1 BURRITO 319 UNIVERSITY DRIVE, NORTHGATE PAID ADVERTISEMENT Christi are in danger of being added to the list. Could College Station be next? 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 both motorists and bicyclists must learn to respect each other. Another reason to endorse bikeways is the concern for safety. Every 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. Considering the health and fitness benefits of bicycling, 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 w today at Freebirds World Burrito for the C.S. Bikeway Master Plan. KORA 98.3 BREAKFAST WITH TONY BARONE Saturday, October 30, 8 a.m. The First Day of Basketball Practice G.
