GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — A second law enforcement officer testified Wednesday that two Bayou Vista police officers bragged about shooting off parts of a stray Lhasa apso before killing the dog last April. Tiki Island Deputy Marshal Tony Reid said after he learned of the incident, he went to a re mote road and saw the animal’s carcass. “The dog was all shot up. Blood was still fresh and the dog was dead,” Reid said. He testified in the third day of the trial of officers Greg Trantham and John Overstreet on animal cruelty charges. “I was so shocked that the in cident had taken place, I could n’t believe what I was seeing," said Reid, the former Bayou Vista police chief. “I was very upset that night. It literally tore my stomach up.” Defense attorneys say Reid came forward because he has a personal ax to grind. Trantham, 27, and Over- street, 32, did pick up the dog, but they did not kill it, defense attorneys contend.

Voelkel said that along with being a fourth gener ation Aggie, these goals are the reasons he chose to attend A&M and become a member of the Corps. “After I started looking into the program,” he said, “I realized the Corps has one of the largest and best training programs in the nation.” Voelkel said his love for the Corps and his in volvement with many Corps activities are why he pursued the position of Corps Commander. “I didn’t aspire to be Corps Commander because of the position or the rank,” Voelkel said. “My job as Corps Commander is to make sure the Corps is achieving goals on a Corpswide level, while instill ing leadership and esprit de corps.” Voelkel said that one of his main interests is bringing the Corps back to the basics of education, leadership and camaraderie. “One of the things we tell freshmen during the freshman orientation week is that the cadets you are with are inevitably the best friends you’ll ever have,” he said. “They will be the groomsmen at your wed ding and the pall bearers at your funeral.” Voelkel said the future for A&M and the Corps is positive. “In the past, the Corps was all that you could do at one time,” he said. “Now there are allowances for people to get involved in other activities and pursue their desires and dreams, as well as being a good cadet.” Voelkel said the Corps of Cadets and the gener al student body are becoming more involved with each another. “A good example is Bonfire last year. After it fell, the student body and the Corps of Cadets had to join together to get a common goal accom plished,” he said. “If we continue doing that, our University can only succeed in the future.” Voelkel’s own future will be pursuing an Army contract after graduation. He is still undecided whether to make the military a career. “I may go into some type of special forces activi ty,” he said, “but my goal, since I was a child, is to fly so aviation is a possibility.” Referendum: Bill proposes to consolidate health center fees Vol. K II ' R □ If ider wot age By W< The B/ The posed day in vate P The yond t of Res The percer year a es eac Th< A Continued from Page 1 health care fee survey , the center has the sec ond lowest health care fee among Southwest Conference schools. “The University of Houston’s fee was the low est, with $20 per student going toward health care,” he said. “But Houston is also a commuter school, making its health care needs possibly lower than A&M’s.” Dirks said a fee increase would be returned to the students through more services and programs. The health center already provides specialty programs ranging from medical specialists who see students on certain days of the week to health education covering sex education issues and personal fitness. It is not known at this time if the passage o! this student referendum would mean a $15 de crease in the student service fee. However, deci sions regarding this issue will be discussed fur ther, Dirks said. The state legislature is working on a similar bill to increase the health care ceiling at Texas A&M If the bill passes, it would go hand in hand with the student referendum, he said. to ea □ Tl ben Kob By c The 1 Te I will 1 urdaj Japai by an Th sured desti buildi M< natoi will t being Must eery Japai Tl used victii “V help Yx of th' cert by a Dali Hous dent stud- Ji the c sent pan: Loose Diamonds Round Diamond Marquise Cut Carat .48 .49 .51 .52 .58 .54 .67 .70 .70 .70 .71 .72 ' .72 .95 1.02 1.06 1.11 1.16 1.64 1.76 Color J H I Purple H H I I G I H I G I I/J K F J J H Clarity II SI1 Sil SI1 11 11 SI1 12 SI1 SI1 SI1 511 SI1/SI2 II II II 512 Sil Sil 513 Price $700” 1,215” 1,265“ 2,500“ 775“ 725“ 1,660“ 850” 1,975” 2,100“ 2,200“ 2,160“ 2,300“ 2,275” 2,450“ 2,050“ 3,950“ 3,950“ 6,600” 6,900“ Carat .31 .31 .49 .49 .54 .57 .63 .67 .68 .69 .75 .76 .83 .84 .94 1.02 1.04 1.12 1.21 1.86 Color I H J I H K G H J K G F H K/L K D F H K J/K Clarity 511 VS2 512 VS2 SI Sil Sil VS2 VS2 VVS2 VS1/VVS2 513 Sil Sil Sil 511 512 Sil SIS 513 Price $475” 675” 1,050“ 1,176“ 1,550“ 1,150“ 2,050” 1,950“ 1,900“ 1,750“ 3,500“ 2,250“ 3,150“ 2,150“ 2,650“ 5,450“ 3,850” 3,250“ 3,750“ 4,350“ 1.77 J 11 3,950“ 1.79 1.89 H K S13 SI3 6,900” 4,350“ Pear Shape 2.59 O SI2 5,500“ Carat Color Clarity Price Oval .47 F Sil $1,300“ .49 H Sil 1,253“ .50 F S12 1,100“ Carat Color Clarity Price .61 I VS1 1,220“ .40 J VS1 $675“ .79 K Sil 1,675“ .50 I Si2 1,383“ .92 K VS2 2,300“ .53 G Si2 980“ 1.02 J Sil 3,250“ .65 F Si2 1,865” 1.05 J/K 11 2,300“ 1.00 G 11 2,700” 2.01 K SI3 4,675“ 1.53 I/J Sil 5,800“ Princess Emerald Cut Carat Color Clarity Price Carat Color Clarity Price .49 K Sil $875“ .43 L WS2 $750“ .53 K VS1 975“ .71 H SI2 1,675” .72 I Si2 1,475” .74 H SI3 1,575“ .72 H 11 1,475“ .75 H SIS 1,275” .70 H SI1/VS2 1,980“ .83 H SI3 1,575” .80 J 11 1,375“ .88 G SI2 1,750“ .80 H 11 1,475” .93 G SI3 1,950“ 1.00 H SI3 2,325” 1.28 I VS2 4,650“ MON. - FRI.
