The Calendar is constantly updated from sources around campus, and includes events of interest to students, staff, and faculty. You can even add your group’s or department’s events to it! Searching the Calendar for events The Texas A&M University Calendar menu in the Texas A&M Gopher is organized so that you can easily see-what..eyents take place today, this week, or this month. Some of the more popular types of events, such as sports and entertainment, are also listed here.

Page 6 • T11e Battalion Cologne Continued from Page 1 sell.” The colognes were approved for sale throughout the country in J.C. Penney stores, Makows- ki said. Now, each manager of a J.C. Penney store has the op tion to order the cologne. Person said she was not sure why other stores in the district were not carrying the liliiiii cologne. However, she said that a store’s choosing to sell the cologne depends on the store’s size and if it has the money to carry the item. Makowski said each school has a different fragrance for its cologne. The fragrance is either chosen by the company itself, or the company will send samples to the university and the uni versity will choose its fra grance. However, he said the final fragrance must always be approved by the university. m Monday • December 5, 1994 mamm■ Makowski said the colognes have been selling very well. “From a customers’ sense, this is a great Christmas, grad uation or Father’s Day gift,” Makowski said. “This is good even if the person is not a cologne-wearer. We have had people request the bottle only because they are proud to have gone to their school.” Makowski said there are cur rently plans to introduce a se lective women’s line of colle giate fragrances in 1995. Bus Routes continued from Page 1 “We are trying to make it easier to get from li brary to library,” he said. Weaver said developing the new routes was a negotiation process between the bus operations management and the parking, traffic and transit management. “They came to a group of trainers at bus opera tions,” he said. “We are students so we have con tact with other students.” Weaver said the trainers were asked to come up with new routes that are feasible, practical and ef ficient, and they came up with five routes that both managements could agree upon. To inform students of the bus route changes, Weaver and some other bus operations employees have been delivering a presentation to student or ganizations. “We have given our presentation to about 20 or ganizations around campus,” he said, “and to some dorms.” Weaver said the purpose of the presentations is to inform as many people as they can about the changes so people will have some foundation to fall back upon. “We don’t want people to get on a bus without knowing the new route,” he said. Nicole Simpsons father denies claim that she wrote letter before death TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Nicole Brown Simpson’s father disputed a magazine report Sunday that his slain daughter had written a letter predicting her death at the hands of O.J. Simpson. Star magazine reports in its Dec. 12 issue, out Monday, that Ms. Simpson wrote in May that “If I am killed, my husband, O.J. Simpson, did it.” “Nope, I’m afraid not,” Ms. Simpson’s father, Louis Brown, said from his home in Dana Point, Calif. "I have an advance copy of the Star maga zine you're talking about. There’s no truth to that.” According to the Star, Ms. Simpson addressed the three-page handwritten letter “To my family ... to be opened in the event of my death.” “I’m in fear of my life. That’s why I am writing this letter, because I don’t want him to get away with it. Please take my letter and use it in court,” Ms. Simpson wrote, the Tarrytown-based tabloid said. Simpson is charged in the June 12 slayings of Ms. Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles. Selection for alternate jurors in the trial was to resume Monday. Trish Whitehead, a spokeswoman for the Star, would not say how the magazine got the letter nor whether the information was paid for. “We stand by our story,” Whitehead said. Robert Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran Jr., two of Simpson’s lawyers, did not immediately return calls Sunday seeking comment. The letter was handed over to a lawyer along with a will about five weeks before the slayings, the magazine reported. The magazine said the letter was given to Ms. Simpson’s parents about six weeks after her death, but they waited until late September to pass the document on to the Los Angeles district attorney’s office. Family members were afraid of Simpson and thought he might fight them for custody of the Simpsons’ two children if they revealed the letter earlier, the Star said. The letter also describes years of spousal abuse Ms. Simpson suffered and says Simpson is “not the O.J. everyone knows and loves,” the Star said. MOW EXPLODE! TONIGHT!
