Michael Crain, election commis sioner, said the problem arose be cause members of Alpha Phi Omega were unable to work at the library polling site. “The whole thing has to do with miscommunication,” Crain said. “This has changed from a case of the polls not being open to a case of inconvenience.” Crain said he received a call in forming him the library site was closed at about 1 p.m. and he im mediately sent people out to work the station. Burke said he and Kennedy felt they won in a fair election process. ‘There was enough time for everyone to get their vote in,” Burke said. "This was equally unfair to each candidate. It’s not like we gained some advantage in this. Who can tell how many votes were lost? If they really wanted to vote, they could have easily walked to Blocker or Zachary.” Kennedy said a revote in this case would not be in the best interests of the Class of ‘95. "It would be virtually impossible to mobilize our constituency to vote again,” she said. "We’ve already asked them to come out and in twice.” Kennedy also said it woukb: be right to ask the student bod) pay for another election, wfit Crain said would cost about $508 Crain said Hastings andTieh proved nothing in their argumer; "People are tired," Crains* "This ha s gone on for a mon! The voters don’t care anymore I election commission is tiredt Texas A&M University is tired." Commander Continued from Page 1 “I wish everybody could have the experience tnat I have had,” he said. Segrest said the skills he has learned in the Corps go beyond the military aspects, and die leadership abilities cadets gain will be there all of their lives. Segrest’s grandfather and older brother were in the Corps, but Segrest is the first in his family to serve as Corps commander. Although his father was not an A&M student, Segrest said he was the most influential person in his life because of his diligence and de termination. When tough times came, his fa ther just suclced it up and never quit, Segrest said. Robert Davis, a junior aerospace engineering major, will serve as his second-in-command as deputy Corps commander. ‘ Bobby is a great guy to work with,” said Segrest. “If I ask him to do something I know that it is go- ing to get done.” Segrest will officially new duties at Final Review in M: Haraway said he will miss sen ing as Corps commander but confident in the skills he has* quired. “I am going to be sad tote the Corps, but I will always be debled to the University for gbi me the opportunity to.serve as tbt Corps commander, ’ he said O 5y Jam 'he Bat Text Ion W ipeak leers. Mai Juveniles Continued from Page 1 cause no problems at Bowling and Games. However, a few bad apples do appear on the scene once in life, awhile, Schnettler said. In January, an incident occurred at Bowling and Games in which a juvenile threatened to start a fight after being accidentally hit in the Teg with a cue ball. Although UPD es corted him out of the building that night, he returned the following Friday. On that evening, UPD responded to an anonymous call concerning the juvenile. They confiscated a knife from the young man at this time and arrested him, Schnettler said. Other problems arose when tru ants from local schools were com ing to Bowling and Games during the week. But regardless of the time of day or night, the management’s hands are tied. “We can’t say ‘You’re a high school student. You can’t come in here,’” Schnettler said. Juveniles also have been causing a problem on the sidewalks of A&M. Recently, UPD received complaints about groups of juveniles riding their skateboards on the sidewalks and bumping into people. “They zig-zag around people and create a safety hazard,” Kretzschmar said. “We have to tell them to stay off the sidewalks. Most comply with the request.” Many juveniles have been re sponsible for some of the stolen bikes reported to UPD recently. “We have a lot of cases where bike thefts were done by juveniles,” Kretzschmar said. ‘‘What we’re talking about is people who come on campus for the purpose of steal- ing.” Many thefts are the result of thieves looking for the right oppor tunities to steal. Opportunities in clude unattended bicycles, purses and backpacks. Thieves often wan der the hallways looking for empty offices. “The best thing people can do when they see suspicious activity, such as a group of juveniles looking lost or trying doorknobs, is call the UPD immediately,” Kretzschmar said. "We might watch them or question them. People need to keep their eyes and ears open.” Depending on the situation, UPD may escort the juveniles off campus or call their parents to come get them. In the case of theft or vandal ism, the suspects are either released to their parents or taken to Juvenile Services. While gang problems in the sur rounding community are not a problem on campus, the emergency phone in Hensel Park has become a favorite target for vandalism by two Bryan gangs, Kretzschmar said. A gang calling themselvest:| OCP (Organized Crime Posse) us* to come to campus fre<juen' Wi A&M was their turf, Kretischm said. “Their activity has died down, he said. “They kind of broke u| now. We don t hear much aboil them anymore.” During the summer months,ik number of juveniles on campus in creases because many local hiji school students are looking something to do. The high nun of juveniles on campus during summer is also the result of many youth camps held at the I versity. Kretzschmar said the problems caused by a small number of juff niles. “Not all juveniles are he said. “We’re strictly about juveniles who come one® pus looking for problems' FREE Fresh Air, Food, & Comedy Schuljmacher Hall is proud to present.. “Freudian Slip” (as seen in A&M's Evening at the Improv) In The Grove Thursday, April 14th at 7:00 p.m. (Call Matthew at 847-7270 for more info.)
