A&M to graduate youngest female eve
19-year-old earns degree in three years
By Heather Winch
The Battalion
N ext week, Texas A&M will
graduate the youngest
woman student ever.
"People are really dumb
founded when they find out how
old I am," senior management
major Nicole Flournoy said.
Flournoy, of Lufkin, will re
ceive her management degree at
the age of 19 during this year's
fall commencement ceremonies.
Flournoy took part in a home
school program for six years be
fore she started her college edu
cation at the age of 15 in a Lufkin
community college.
At the age of 16, Flournoy en
tered Taylor Christian College in
Indiana and stayed for a semester
before transferring to A&M in the
fall of 1991.
Flournoy said she chose
A&M because even though she
wanted to go to a private Christ
ian school, she was responsible
for paying for her education.
She knew a state school would
be cheaper, and A&M had a
good business college and a
good reputation.
In the three years Flournoy
has been at A&M, she has been a
member of the A&M Tennis
Team and a member in the man
agement society and the manage
ment honors fraternity.
Though Flournoy will not
stay at A&M to work on a mas
ter's degree, she and her fiancee

Galveston beer merchants criticize alcohol ban as illeg
The Associated Press
GALVESTON — Restrictions on the use of
alcohol on Galveston beaches are under attack
by a group that includes store owners and beer
distributors.
Organizers of an effort to repeal the ban call
it illegal and bad for business.
A.R. Lucas, who owns three convenience
stores on the island, said constraints cost him
$5,000 in beer sales and $10,000 in other sales in
June alone, when the restrictions went into effect.
■"It is blatantly against the law/' he said
Wednesday at a meeting of about a dozen peo
ple held at the offices of a beer distributor.
City officials have credited the ban for re
ducing rowdiness and crime on beaches and
"I feel the ban of alcohol is illegal
and the city fathers should not have
the authority to break the law."
-Ron Yandell, local sales manager
AGGIE ^
insist they'll enforce it on the island's 32 miles
of beachfront.
"What we've seen is that the alcohol ban
has worked," Mayor Barbara Crews told the
Houston Chronicle.
"It's reduced weekend problems almost 100
percent on the west end of Galveston Island,"
Police Chief Dale Rogers said. "It has really
eliminated accidents, gunshots being fired,
fights and the traffic tie-ups caused by young
people who went to the west end of theis
to drink on the beach."
Rogers noted that drinking is still all
on certain beaches, including a stretch ol
beach extending for more than four miles
Organizers of Wednesday's meeting sal:
may take the ban to court and will ask the
Alcoholic Beverage Commission and other
agencies to press the city council to snap it
"I feel the ban of alcohol is illegalaa;
city fathers should not have the authon:
break the law," Ron Yandell, sales m
for Del Papa Distributing Co. Inc. said.
