Band members, both active and former, will meet today and Saturday at the College Station Ramada Inn, the E.V. Adams Band Hall, Duncan Dining Hall and the game at Kyle Field. Maj. Jay Brewer, associate director of the Aggie Band and Class of ’81, will be directing the reunion band in the Kyle Field stands at Saturday’s A&M-Tulsa football game. Because last year was the band’s 100th year, the reunion band marched on the field during the half-time performance. However, the band will not march this year. Brewer said. “We don’t want to wear it out,” he said. “It was a special occasion, and now it is time to let the new Aggie Band members have Kyle Field.” Brewer also said the decision not to march is not related to the collapse of a for mer band member during a half-time perfor mance last year. “That would be the very reason we would march again, because the Aggie Band never gives up,” he said. Dr. Donald Powell, president of the Aggie Band Association and Class of ’56, said the re union gives the former band members the chance to meet new members and celebrate the beginning of the band’s second 100 years. “This reunion is a gathering to step off into a new century,” Powell said. “It is also a time to come back and welcome the fish into the association.” The reunion allows for many father and son teams to play in the band together, Pow ell said, and this year will be the the first time in the band’s history that a father and daughter team will play together. Dr. Larry Lippke, president-elect of the Ag gie Band Association and Class of ’69, said a video of the Aggie Band’s first 100 years will be shown Friday, and the Aggieland Orches tra will play during a social gathering. After Saturday’s game, the band will be having a hamburger party in Duncan Din ing Hall, followed by a business meeting to elect officers. Cadet Maj. Jonathan Luikens, Aggie Band head drum major and a senior geogra phy major, said he would probably attend some of the reunion activities this weekend. “It’s good to meet all the old Ags, because MV, Battalion fill Former band members at the 1994 reuni they have great stories to tell,” Luikenssi Luikens said he is looking forward! ing some Class of ’95 recent graduates. “They are considered part of the fort members, and I would like to see too,” he said. Task force tries to solve traffic problem for football fan "The sa t □ Additional shuttle buses and cross walks will be implemented for Saturday's game to save time and aggravation for spectators. By Courtney Walker The Battalion Traffic Management Task Force officials will change the shuttle bus system to de crease traffic congestion before and after Saturday’s football game at Kyle Field. The task force created the shuttle bus sys tem and devised alternate exits from the sta dium to remedy traffic problems that fre quently occur during home football games. The shuttle buses and exits were used at the Sept. 2 football game for the first time. Denise Fischer, public information officer for the Texas Department of Transportation, said there was improvement in the traffic at the first home football game, but additional changes could be made. Beginning with this Saturday’s game, four additional shuttle buses from the Bra zos Transit system will be available for foot ball spectators to use. Margie Lucas, Brazos Valley Transit asso ciate administrator for marketing, said this will bring the total number of shuttle buses to 10 or 12. Buses will run two hours before and after the game. Bus stops include six local hotels and two park and ride stations at Bryan and A&M Consolidated high schools. Along with the shortage of buses, task force members also found that buses had trouble returning to Kyle field to pick up ad ditionai passengers. “It was like a salmon swimming up stream,” Fischer said. “The buses were try ing to get back while everyone else was try ing to leave.” Barricades will be set up on Joe Routt Blvd. while shuttle buses are loading and unloading passengers. Elmer Schneider, University Police De partment associate director, said the barri cades will provide patrons with easier access to the buses because there will not be the hindrance of motor vehicles on the streets while passengers are trying to load or un load the bus. will have buses taking more people at time and less outside traffic to fij through,” Lucas said ms "We will have buses taking people at one time and less out side traffic to fight through." — Margie Lm Brazos Valley Transit associate admimtm for market^ nd i 'lass wind TO KYLE FIELD The alternate route for people who normal ly leave from Joe Routt is Olsen Road. Barri cades will be removed after the buses dear. “The movement should be faster since we An additional pedestrian crosswalk be created between Wellborn Road Parking Area 62 (Lot A). Schneider said this strategy should save people time because they will not have to form long lines to cross the street. "With the volume of pedestrians coming out of the stadium at the last game, we thought this would work best,” he said. Task force members are also tryinjto contact railroad officials to reschedule Iran traffic through West Campus so they do wt run immediately following football game. After the first game, a train came through around 7 p.m., Fischer said, and that held up traffic. Traffic signals at George Bush Drive and FM 2818, Agronomy Road and University Dri ve, and University Drive and Texas Avenue will be reset to allow drivers heading away from Kyle Field more time between red lights. Fischer said the task force will continue meeting after each home football game to as sess the traffic management plan and im prove the system for future home games. mthropc ATTENTION!
