Continued from Page 1
"We fund locally and govern
centrally. That's not right. We
must fund centrally and we
must govern locally."
Bush expressed concern about
whether the state is spending
less money per pupil and pass
ing the bill on to local property
taxpayers.
He said state government
should make education the top
priority by figuring out the cost
of providing a basic core, no- •
nonsense quality education
that's fair for everyone , and
jetting the courts out of it then
unding it.
"I say the state must define
what education's basic mission
is," Bush said.
"What are its goals? They are
literacy in basic courses and
good citizenship, not condom
distribution or social engineer
ing.
"Astroturf football fields and
air-conditioned tennis courts are
not basic education. Literacy,
science, math — these are basic
education."
Bush also called for the aboli
tion of the regulatory powers of
the Texas Education Agency in
order to stop the red tape, paper
work, regulation and top-down
direction that's stifling the
schools.
'Astroturf football
fields and air-condi
tioned tennis courts
are not basic educa
tion. Literacy, science,
math — these are ba
sic education."
- George W. Bush
New teaching methods, new
curriculum and new educational
entrepreneurship must be devel
oped by governing locally, he
said.
"I believe most teachers, prin
cipals and administrators are
good, caring, decent people,"
Bush said.
"It is the system that needs to
be changed, not the people."
Bush also discussed crime
and called for reforms in the
criminal justice system.
These reforms would include
no parole for rapists, child mo
lesters and other sex offenders.
"I am hard-nosed on adult
criminals, because I believe most
of them are beyond rehabilita
tion," Bush said.
"I say, put them away and
make them stay there. But let's
talk about our kids. If society
can't save our kids, we are not
functioning as a society."
Bush's reforms in the juvenile
justice code would include
tougher laws for youths caught
with guns and "zero tolerance"
for discipline problems in the
classroom.
Bush proposed a system of
Tough Love Academies staffed
by retired Marine and Army
sergeants. The next step would
be boot camps.
As a last resort. Bush said he
would set aside 1,000 brand new
hard-time jail beds in facilities
devoted to juveniles.
"I'll fight for this," Bush said.
"I care for our kids. My genera
tion must accept responsibility
of saving the generation coming
up, before it's too late. I believe
we are ready to accept that re
sponsibility."
As far as the state budget is
concerned. Bush said the trend
of increasing budgets will stop
when he becomes governor.
Bush said he is running for
governor because he cares about
Texas and is worried that the
state is changing, and not for the
better.
"I see Texas becoming like the
rest of the nation," Bush said.
"And that's not good enough. I
want Texas to be a beacon state.
I want to protect the way of life
that makes Texas unique."
Carson Campbell, of Jewett,
Texas, drove over 60 miles to
hear Bush speak.
"I think he has pinpointed the
basic problems," Campbell said.
"He will bring government back
to the people and that govern
ment will be based on the good,
common values we grew up
with."
Ann Horton, a resident of
College Station, said she is glad
Bush is running for governor.
"He speaks my language,"
she said.
"I think it's criminal what is
happening to our school system.
I think we have a heck of a better
shot than what we have now."

holidays, we are keeping the of
fice open late," he said. "Mi
nors can offer a plea, or make
their court appearance that
night."
Boyette said one reason for
this is because most tickets is
sued at Bonfire are written be
tween 5-7p,m.
"After all of the publicity
Bonfire gets, I would think peo
ple would get the message
about not drinking, there have
been plenty of warnings," he
said. "So I can say that 1 will
not be lenient."
UPD Director Bob Wiatt said
"After all of the publicity Bonfire gets, I
would think people would get the message
about not drinking, there have been plenty of
warnings."
- George Boyette, justice of the peace
the patrolling of Bonfire will be
similar to last year.
They will have a command
center at the outskirts of Bonfire
and officers around campus
looking for staggering people.
"We will be very pro-active,
using around 100 officers, and
will utilize vans to transport
people to jail if needed," he
said.
"We will be emphasizing al
cohol is a no-no. If you are over
21, we will ask you to pour it
out, and if you are under 21,
you will be cited.
"All alcohol laws will ap
ply/' he said.
The Brazos Valley Traffick
ing Task Force will have six of
ficers on horseback to monitor
the crowd and TABC will work
all of the bars, looking for in
toxicated individuals. Also,
CSPD will patrol Texas Avenue
and University Drive.

back that states the individual
has three class days to contact
the conflict resolution center. If
the person does not contact the
center they may face additional
disciplinary charges.
Zdziarski said the student can
either accept the punishment or
contest it.'c^d defend themselves
in a disciplinary hearing. The
severity of the punishment de
pends on the student's prior be
havior.
"The student disciplinary ac
tion can range from a letter of
reprimand, which officially goes
on file, to placing the student on
conduct probation, in which the
student is not in good standing
with the University and may
possibly lose scholarships," he
said.
The center anticipates the rate
of alcohol consumption to de
crease from past years.
A&M students have heeded
the warnings about alcohol con
sumption on campus during
Bonfire, Zdziarski said.
"There has been a significant
change in the student behavior
in association with Bonfire," he
said. "I hope we can keep the
numbers even lower than last
year."
THE TEXAS
RENAISSANCE
FESTIVAL
It’s a time of knights, wenches, dragons,
nymphs, sorcerers, funny accents and men
in tights.
While men in tights aren't the usual sight and
women may not always appreciate being called
wenches, things get a little crazy around Texas
Renaissance Festival time.
Our "improved" history repeats itself every
weekend in October and the first two in
November, fifty miles northwest of Houston in
Plantersville, Texas.
