or 10-week summer registrations will
be dropped from enrollment as of 5

to pay fees will not be permitted to re

mer session. Registration and fee pay
ment can be completed in the Pavilion.
Gov. Bush signs 'get

from students carrying shotguns in their gun
racks or placing semiautomatic handguns under
their car seats,” she said.
Toby Boenig, student body president, does not
think that the new bill will harm students’ safe
ty on campus.
“We need to publicize the fact that it will still
be illegal to carry weapons on campus, even after
the first of the year,” Boenig said.
Boenig is also concerned with improving the
general safety of the campus.
“We always want to ensure student aware
ness, lighting and the presence of the University
Police on campus,” he said.
Wendy Smonko, a senior education major,
said she opposed the new handgun bill and be
lieves concealed weapons could make campus'
more dangerous. "-flj
“I feel safer knowing people don’t have
guns,’’she said.
Nick Carpino, a junior accounting major, e
he believes everyone should have the right to
carry a gun.
“With the two rapes we’ve had on campus,’:.
Carpino said, “it might help deter rapists who
suspect the woman could be carrying a gun.”

ARLINGTON (AP) — Fulfilling a
campaign pledge to get tough on violent
youths. Gov. George W. Bush Wednes
day signed into law an overhaul of the
juvenile justice system that will keep
teen criminals locked up longer.
"We listened to Texas and we de
livered ... tough love," Bush said af
ter signing the bill during a ceremony
at the Arlington YMCA.
Bush said the new law will help re
store public confidence in the criminal
justice system by combating the rising
number of teens committing crimes.

BOWEN: A&M faces ‘bright future"

UH system in 'disarray'
HOUSTON (AP) — An outside au
dit recommends University of Hous
ton regents delay any plan to merge
two top jobs because of the system's
current disarray.
The report, commissioned by the
Board of Regents, says the University
of Houston System isn't ready to
combine the jobs of chancellor and
main campus president into a single
chief executive officer. A three-mem
ber outside panel led by former Penn
State University President Bryce Jor
dan wrote the report, which was dis
tributed to faculty members Tuesday.

Toby Boenig, student body
president, said Bowen’s willing
ness to interact with students is
one of his strengths.
“He has opened his office,”
Boenig said. “I think Dr. Bowen
wants to be the type of presi

his students.”
Suzanne Lyons,
Residence Hall As
sociation president,
said that Bowen
has been an excep

“A&M is a place

said. “I think it’s

“Our faculty has all kinds of
national and international recog

ways receiving awards,” Bowen
said. “There’s so many of these in
any one day that you get numbed
by the great success.”
Boenig pointed to Bowen’s re
cent role in the state legislative
session as an example of the
president’s success.

HUNTSVILLE (AP) - After hearing
witnesses describe Fletcher Thomas
Mann, jurors took less than two hours to
send the Kentucky man to Texas death
row. More than 13 years later, Mann
was set to die early today for a 1980
murder spree in Dallas.
Attorneys for Mann, 34, appealed
that his 1 3 years on death row already
amounted to cruel and unusual pun
ishment and that his case deserved a
special review by the courts. The U.S.
Supreme Court Tuesday rejected the
arguments and lawyers said there
would be no other appeals.
sometimes
settled here if
you’re not used to it.”
But while he has had good
times with his job, Bowen is
serious when speaking about
the recent cutbacks in admis
sions that have caused the
University to turn away nearly
6,000 applicants.
“The worst part of this job is
telling people they can’t enroll,”
he said. “A byproduct of our suc
cess is that we have to limit our
enrollment. That’s very difficult.”
The former A&M graduate
and engineering professor is
modest when rating his perfor
mance over the last year, but is
quick to point out the successes
of the teachers and the students.
up in Austin for things he wasn’t
involved in,” Boenig said. “But he
took them and then assured the
Legislature that it wouldn’t hap
pen again. I think that shows his
dedication to the University.”
Bowen said that he thinks
A&M has emerged from its year
of controversy with little nega
tive impact. He said many of the
problems have risen from a small
part of the University.
“The criticism we received has
always been associated with a
very narrow set of activities
which are largely managed in fi
nance and administration. When
you look at the part of the Uni
versity we’re talking about, it’s a
very small piece. And I think if
you were to go to that division.
you’d see that those problems
have been corrected.”
Bowen pointed to several
signs that the University hase|
bright future.
“Our funded research is up,’
he said. "Our applicant pool for
admissions is up. So I think the
public understands that academ
ically, this is a very solid place.’
Lyons said that she sees a
bright future for Bowen.
“I think that hes
seen A&M and what
being an administra
tor here is like,’
Lyons said. “I thins
now that he is set

even better.”
Bowen said he see
long-range plannk
as the key to A&M:
He said that

A&M’s future.
“We have to look at where*;

said. “Clearly, we want to contiii

we are now. I think we needv
