Persons with disabilities please call

needs. We request information three (3)
working days prior to the event to enable
us to assist you to the best of our abilities.
Cody Burke, president of the
Class of ’95, said he urges junior
class members to recognize what
01’ Army Elephant Walks were
like.
“It’s a time when the seniors
used to walk around and remem
ber the times they spent at
A&M,” Burke said. “They cele
brated the past times. It’s time
we get back to the real tradition.
“We ask that the junior class
to respect the senior tradition
and celebrate their class’ activi
ties. They will be in our shoes in
a year."
Representatives from various
A&M organizations, such as Bus
Operations, the University Po
lice Department and Parking,
Transit and Traffic Services, are
working with the senior council
to organize street activity during
Elephant Walk.
Doug Williams, manager of
Bus Operations, said several bus
routes will probably be changed
to account for the large number
of students crossing the streets
between 2 and 4 p.m. He said
some buses will need to drop off
their students at different
points.
“We’re probably not cutting
the routes entirely,” Williams
said, “but students may be in
convenienced.”
UPD will have officers sta
tioned at several points along
the Walk to handle traffic.
Some parking lots and streets
may be temporarily closed due to
the build-up of traffic as stu
dents cross the streets. The en
trance to campus from Wellborn
Road will most likely be closed
entirely during the hours of Ele
phant Walk.
Burke said the success of Ele
phant Walk will not depend on
the route, but rather the atti
tude along the route.
“That’s what we’ve put all our
efforts into,” Burke said, “atti
tude and publicity. Changing
the attitude is what’s impor
tant.”
Steakhouse list a fraud, Fertel says
Cc
rix
DALLAS (AP) — It all start
ed when the Ruth’s Chris
steakhouse chain was bumped
off the list of America’s Top 10
Steakhouses.
That’s when Ruth Fertel be
gan her crusade to expose the
annual list as a fraud, and
that’s when it became a feder
al case.
Fertel, who has 42 steak-
houses nationwide, contends the
list is bought and paid forbj
her nemesis, Dale Wamstad,
owner of Del Frisco’s Double Ea
gle Steak House in Dallas-
No. 3 on the current list.
“Ruth’s Chris will call it bo
gus and fraudulent, but I call
it brilliant marketing,” said
Wamstad, whose business
boomed when he began adver
tising his ranking in airlins
magazines.

Trial
Continued from Page 1
Department of , Food Services,
and Mary Miller, assistant vice
president for finance and admin
istration, testified on behalf of
Smith as character witnesses.
All of the character witnesses
said Smith was a truthful, law-
abiding citizen who had a repu
tation of being tough but fair.
Dick DeGuerin, Smith’s de
fense attorney, recalled Jane
Schneider, a senior manage
ment analyst for A&M who tes
tified Monday about the differ
ences between two proposals
that were submitted to A&M by
two private companies to take
over the campus bookstore. The
two companies were Barnes and
Noble and Follett College Stores.
The trial will continue to
day at 9 a.m. in the 361st Dis
trict Court.
Butch Kemper, the project di
rector, said out of the four connect
ed halls, about 60 students are us
ing the Ethernet connections in
their rooms.
Kemper said that more stu
dents are hooking up every week.
The Ethernet Task Force will
make a proposal to the Depart
ment of Student Affairs in late No
vember as to whether the Ether
net connections should be expand
ed to the rest of the residence halls
or not.
Barry McKinney, graduate in
tern in the facilities and opera
tions office, said the task force is
soliciting responses from students
about if they want Ethernet con
nections or not.
“Students can call me at 862-
3150 with their input,” he said.
“Students can also E-mail the task
force at ‘dorm-net@tamu.edu’ for
more information about Ethernet.
A survey will be forwarded to
them.”
Aaron Bawcom, a member ol
the task force, said they have re
ceived about 15 responses to the
E-mail surveys.
“Every person is full throttle in
favor of the Ethernet connections,’
he said.
Students responding to a Resi
dence Hall Association survey,
however, were not so supportive,
McKinney said.
“It’s about 50-50,” he said
“Half of the people said they want
it and would pay for it. The other
half said they would take it, but
wouldn’t want to pay for it.”
The students would have to pay
a maximum of $2.50 per month for
the connections in their halls.
The cost would most likely te
added to the room rent, McKinney
said.
The task force said they are try
ing to educate students about the
benefits of Ethernet.
Bawcom compared Ethernet to
the telephone.
“Ethernet is just about as use
ful, if not more useful, than th
telephone,” Bawcom said. “It just
has to catch on like the telephone
did.”
