He also argued that legisla

on foreign policy because they
feel they do not have a voice.
Then, the same legislators
quickly criticize when they feel

everything he can to make sure
it would not be killed.
Dave Brown, a Northside sen
ator and junior political science
major, opposed the resolution and
supported the referral, denying
that opponents would try to kill
the measure in committee.
“(Sending the resolution to
committee) was not intended to
kill it,” Brown said. “All we
wanted was a chance to poll
those we represent.”
In other business, the Senate:
• Confirmed nine appoint
ments for Student Body Presi
dent Carl Baggett’s administra
tion, including two newly creat

to express concerns to the stu
dent body president.

the fourth time, a large, gasp
of relief came from the section
where members of the Menen-

In the wake of acquittals in
the murder trials of O.J. Simp
son and rapper Snoop Doggy
Dogg, prosecutors claimed a
much-needed success despite
the jury’s rejection of their call
for the death penalty.
District Attorney Gil
Garcetti, who faces one of his
deputies in a tough November
election, said the important
thing was to remember the
conviction and sentence mean

rest of their lives in prison.”
“We believe that most peo

even in this country — now be

this case,” Garcetti said.

“The mentality is ‘Since I
don’t control decisions, I’m
not going to control the dis
cussion.’”
Although Mitchell said
Clinton’s foreign policy has
been successful, Quayle said
the United States needs to
concentrate more on relations
with Russia and China.
“We have had times of eu
phoria,” Quayle said.
“Now it is a time of cold re
ality.”

Baseball Game
Continued from Page 1
“Many people think the Corps and fraternities
have strong rivalries,” Nisbet said. “I don’t be
lieve that’s true. They have a lot more in com
mon than people think.”
All proceeds from the game will be divided
among the organizations represented by the two
teams. The Corps will use the money for its
scholarship fund, and the IFC will donate its
share to a Bryan-College Station family in need.
Trey Schroeder, IFC external vice president
and senior business analysis major, said the fra
ternity team’s six untimely defensive errors con
tributed to its demise.
Schroeder said the game was “pretty stan
dard” because of average pitching and rusty
play by the participants, most of whom have
probably not played in a baseball game dur
ing the last year.
“It’s hard to come back into (baseball) and be
in the swing of things,” Schroeder said.
Players on both teams were selected after
week-long tryouts. Seventeen players comprised
the Fraternity team and 20 the Corps team.
Marc Mulkey, a Corps player and senior indus
trial distribution major, said the game promotes
A&M spirit, and despite the bashing the rival teams
might display, the game is played in good fun.
