Organization drives to aid Phoebe’s Honki
Available through national competition from the National Security Educational
Program to US citizens who wish to pursue international studies in areas out
side of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
□ Those attending the football
game this weekend can bring
clothes and food to Rudder
Fountain to benefit needy kids
and battered women.
By Heather Pace
Thk Battalion
The Angel Flight pledge class is request
ing donations of clothes, non-perishable food
and toys for Phoebe’s Home Oct. 14 at Rud
der Fountain.
Angel Flight is a student organization
that focuses on community service work.
The drive is the project of the Angel
Flight’s 16-member pledge class.
Jeff Freels, pledge class commander and a
sophomore political science major, said the
pledges are busy putting up posters around
campus and town and are trying to get pub
licity from television and radio stations.
“A lot of people have been cooperating
with us,” Freels said. “Basically, we kind of
did this on short notice, but are trying to get
out as much paper as possible.”
Kim Mynar, Phoebe’s Home volunteer co
ordinator, described the home as a tempo
rary shelter for women and children who
have been victims of domestic violence.
“We help the women get their own homes
or jobs and provide legal help such as child
custody,” Mynar said. “We try to provide
everything here so they can be successful.”
Angel Flight has organized the drive in
less than a week because Phoebe’s Home is
in dire need of donations. Later in the year,
there will be stands set up at Target and
other area stores for donations.
Julianne Baie, vice-commander of Angel
Flights pledge class and a sophomore agri
cultural engineering major, said this Satur
day is a “clothing, food, money and anything-
you-can-find drive because the home is run-
ct<
ning low in a lot of stuff.”

people can come with anything they ati
ing to donate, even pocket change.
Angel Flight members go to
Home at least twice a month toreal]
play with the children and hostspecial
lions, such as an upcoming Halloween;
Freels said volunteering atPla
Home is a challenging experience.
“You feel bad for the kids becanst
come from rough situations,” Freds
“One of the little girls said shewi:
could come with us.”
Angel Flight is also working on
sion to take the children on outings.
“I'm really gung-ho about Phoebe'sII

these things,” Riker said. "The last

Higher turnout sought for amendment electio
□ Secretary of State
Antonio Garza said the
amendments in the
Nov. 7 election may
have a direct effect on
students.
By Sterling Hayman
The Battalion
In an attempt to increase
awareness aboul the upcoming
constitutional amendment elec
tion, Texas Secretary of State An
tonio Garza held a press confer
ence at Texas A&M Thursday.
Texans will decide on 14
amendments to the state consti
tution Nov. 7. The proposed
amendments deal with lopics
ranging from veterans housing
to student loans.
Garza said students should
make every effort to participate
in the election because some of
the proposed amendments may
have a direct effect on them.
“There’s one proposition that
would authorize the issuance of
$300,000 in general obligation
bonds to finance the educational
loans of students, which obvious
ly have afforded many students
the opportunity to further their
higher education,” he said.
“That’s one that should be very
relevant to students.
“Higher education is very im
portant in the state of Texas. And
the ability to have affordable capi
tal for sludents is important to
building to our infrastructure,
which is an educated citizenry.”
Despite the fact that many
A&M students are not registered
to vote in College Station, he
said, absentee ballots are readily
accessible. Students may vote by
absentee ballot from Oct. 18-31.
Garza said, however, that it
troubles him that an increasing
feeling of political apathy and in
difference may cause students to
not participate in the election.
“It surprises me and it does
concern me that there is that cyn
icism in a generation that really
is going to be called on to lead
very quickly,” he said.
The Texas Constitu
tion, which was draft
ed and adopted in the
late 1870s, has been
amended 353 times.
Although constitu
tional amendment
elections statistically
turn out fewer voters,
Garza said he remains
optimistic about this
election.
To provide addition
al motivation for stu
dents to vote, Garza
said A&M students
should look at election
participation as
healthy competition. Sterling Hay,™,Tw

Mexico hit with yet another storm as Roxanne rains c orrect i ol
□ This latest tropical storm
adds to the flooding and
destruction left in the
wake of Opal.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Down
graded from a hurricane, Tropical
Storm Roxanne punished Mexico’s
southern Gulf coast with torren
tial rains and surging tides Thurs
day, flooding small towns and
wrecking crops.
Roxanne was the 10th hurricane
j of the busy Atlantic storm season
when it roared over the Yucatan
Peninsula this week with 110-mph
winds. But even as it lost its punch,
the threat of flash floods and mud
slides rose.
At its strongest, Roxanne batted
down palm trees, shattered hotel
windows in Cancun and left the Yu
catan resort isle of Cozumel incom
municado for two days, stranding
hundreds of tourists. Cozumel fer
ries began running again Thursday.
Many residents still struggling
to recover from the ravages of Hur
ricane Opal last week face flash
floods and mudslides. Battering
waves and tide levels 4 to 6 feet
above normal were expected to
pound the Gulf coastline of Tabasco
and Campeche states.
A flood watch was issued for por
tions of the Texas coast.
High winds knocked down trees
and power lines on the Yucatan
Peninsula on Wednesday night. Peo
ple waded through waist-high water
in Campeche, and two rivers in
neighboring Tabasco state flooded.
Damage was heavier in dozens
of small Mayan Indian towns in
the Yucatan jungle after the storm
wandered across the peninsula,
stripping corn from fields and
grass-thatched roofs from humble
homes.
“The corn harvest is completely
lost for the year,” said Victoria San
tos, who spent the day carrying
buckets of waters from homes in
Quintana Roo state in the center of
the Yucatan Peninsula.
