NEW YORK — Two San Diego
Padres players were arrested Tues
day for allegedly propositioning
undercover policewomen on a
Manhattan street corner often fre
quented by prostitutes.
Pitcher Scott Sanders and out
fielder Derek Bell were arrested
around 2 a.m. EDT on a misde
meanor charge of patronizing a
prostitute. The arrests came 18
hours before they were due at Shea
Stadium to play the New York
Mets.
Sanders and Bell appeared
“shocked and bewildered, ’ Capt.
Michael O’Neill of the Public
Morals Unit said.
“They told me they were base
ball players and I told them they
were under arrest,” O’Neill said.
The men pleaded innocent
Tuesday evening to soliciting a
prostitute. They turned down a
deal in which they would have had
to plead guilty to a reduced charge
of disorderly conduct, do one day
of community service, spend a day
in a health seminar and pay $45 in
fees and fines.
They were released on their
own recognizance and are due
back in court June 1 7.
They had no comment as they
left the court. Their lawyer, Arthur
Nealon, said, “There was no sex,
no money exchanged hands,
there’s only allegations.”
The players were expected in
uniform at Tuesday night’s game,
said Padres spokesman Jim Fergu
son. Sanders had been listed as the
probable starting pitcher, but the
team had decided before the arrest
to start Wally Whitehurst instead.
“The ballclub is investigating
the situation to see what all is in
volved,” Ferguson said.
Padres manager Jim Riggleman
said he learned about the arrests
when he was called in middle of
night by O’Neill.

eighth inning Tuesday night
and led the Pittsburgh Pirates to
a 7-4 victory over the Houston
Astros.
Jeff King led off the eighth

Merced’s single. After a walk to
Don Slaught loaded the bases,
he scored on Al Martin’s sacri

After a runner was thrown
out at home on a grounder,
Mitch Williams relieved.
Slaught then scored on Scott
Servais’ second passed ball of
the inning before Hunter, a
pinch-hitter, and Garcia hit RBI
doubles.

didn’t work out that way.”
Senior Matt Sherwood took
the loss to drop to 2-1 on the
season. Sherwood was one of
five Aggie relief pitchers who
struggled to pitch the last three
innings.
Johnson said using several
pitchers is always a touch-and-
go situation, and that the Aggies
were burned by it Tuesday night.
“We got ourselves in a bind,
but you always have to roll the
dice in some of these games
where you just have to get
pitching in and keep them
fresh.”
The loss to the Bearkats was
A&M’s last non-conference game
of the season.
Friday, the Aggies will begin
hosting a three-game series
against Texas Christian Universi
ty, the current leader in South
west Conference play.

the amount that A&M will lose as a result of
the sanctions.
Just for kicks, let’s say that 30,000 students
buy season football tickets. With the price in
crease, that adds up to $300,000 in additional
revenue. That’s not quite two million. If the
purpose of the price increase was to make up
for anticipated losses, then the cost should
have been raised even more (God forbid.)
Whether it is intended or not, the message
being sent by the school is that the cost of this
probation is being passed along to Joe and
Jane Student, none of whom got Texas A&M
on probation. That was the result of an
overzealous booster paying a few players who
didn’t work at their summer jobs. Once
again, we have a case of the many who pay for
the misdeeds of a few.
Now to the question of appropriateness.
Was the increase necessary? The cost of at
tending a football game was already steep
enough to begin with and most students
would probably agree that this increase is an
other strain on their already tight budgets.
I speak from experience when I say that the
cost of attending sporting events here is much
too high. I graduated from Auburn University
(another ag school on probation) in 1991. In
the four years that I attended, the cost of a
football season ticket was $20. There were no
all sports passes, but the equivalent cost would
have been $30. This cost aid not change once
during those four years.
Why the wide disparity in price? Was the
football team lousy? Hardly. Auburn won
three SEC championships in my four years
there and compiled a 3 7-8-3 record in the
process. The athletic department had to pay
for stadium expansion, a new swimming fa
cility and a six million dollar football com
plex. For four bucks a game, I was getting a
pretty good deal.
The point of this was not to slam Texas
A&M, but to show that a large athletic depart-
ae
ment can function without making students
pick up the tab. I thoroughly enjoy going to
school here, hut it is frustrating to see tick
prices go up from year to year. It s goinglo
be hard enough to sell out Kyle Field tnispn
considering this year’s home games, teing
ticket prices to make up for anticipatedlosi
revenue is akin to cutting off your head k-
cause your nose itches.
In a perfect world, the students would
up in protest and boycott the football gama
Will this happen? Of course not. Aggies®
addicted to the football drug. The administk
tion recognizes a cash cow (or about 40,Ml
of them) when it sees one and is perfect!
willing to milk it until it’s dry.
Some would say “hey, it’s only ten bucks,"
hut it is the principle more than the motif
The athletic department has GOT to be tun
ing a profit . If it isn’t, something isdespci-
ately wrong. There have to be other sources
of money besides captive students. If raisiii|
ticket prices was the only option available,
then the school should have just done noil-
ing. For once, it would have been the rigll
decision.
