this election to be fair,” Hastings
said.
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*

“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.”

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.

“Their activity has died down,

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.
