impractical suggestions that
were too expensive or already
planned by other organiza
tions, the committee selected
the best ideas.
Researching the remaining
ideas, the committee narrowed
down its decision to the six sug
gestions placed on March elec
tion ballots.
Ideas placed on the ballot and
voted on by the Class of ’96 in
cluded donating the first build
ing for a proposed Student L/jad-
ership Retreat Center, funding
an excellence-in-teaching endow
ment and moving the Liberty
Bell from inside the Academic
Building to an outdoor gazebo.
The committee’s goal was to
find a gift that would improve
life for everyone on campus.
The ability to donate a sub
stantial gift has grown through,
the years as money raised hy
classes has increased dramati
cally. The Class of ’^1 raised
$10,000, and the Class of ’89
raised $25,000. This year’s class
representatives said they hope
to reach $96,000.
Past gifts have ranged from
the Twelfth Man Statue, given
by the Cla. ao oT 80, totheClss
of ’78’® donation of the tile®
saio set in the Academic I
ing’s floor.
A sculpture of Bonfire, t
ed by the Class of ’87, hasyett 1

Schroeder said the sculpt®

Quiet Hours

unless there are complaints.
“It’s usually pretty quiet around here,”
Lopez said. “If you have a problem with
someone being loud, you can tell them to
quiet down.”
Lopez said she does not have difficulty
studying in her room because her neighbors
are considerate.
In Aston Hall, however, many residents
said they find it difficult to study because of
thinly insulated walls and poorly enforced
quiet hours.
John Apgar, Aston president and a fresh
man journalism major, said quiet hours are
not strictly enforced in Aston, with the ex
ception of major disruptions.
Some residents said the noise has be
come unbearable.
Albert Correa, an Aston resident and
freshman chemical engineering major, said
he is looking forward to moving off campus
next fall after having lived two semesters in
the hall.
“The walls aren’t insulated,” Correa
said. “You can hear a conversation or I
even someone going to the bathroom [
through them.”
Correa said finding quiet time to study is I
virtually impossible.
“It’s pretty impossible for me to study
(here),” Correa said. “I have a neighbor
who sings opera all day long on one side,
rock ‘n’ roll coming from one room, ant
rap from the other as loud as can be, Ant
then the other neighbors have a guitar
with an amp.”
Correa said he and his roommate have
asked their fellow residents to be quiet to
no avail.
Gramm won’t
discuss Dole
WASHINGTON (AP) — A hot topic in Re
publican circles these days is whether Republi
can presidential nominee Bob Dole should sur
render his role as Senate majority leader and
concentrate on his White House bid.
Don’t expect Texas Re
publican Phil Gramm, Dole’s
one-time rival for the nomi
nation, to engage in public
speculation, however.
The often outspoken sena
tor, who quit the presidential
race last February after a
lackluster showing, declined
to be drawn into the debate
when asked his opinion by re
porters Monday.
“I’ve tried not to be one of
these guys who loses and
then goes around and tells
the winner how he ought to do it,” Gramm said.
“I’m trying my best not to give Sen. Dole advice
about how to run his campaign because obvious
ly if I knew how to do it I would have won.
“Secondly, if I were going to give him ad
vice I would give it to him personally rather
than through the media.”
The Texan, who is seeking re-election to a
third Senate term, then pronounced himself
“out of politics” to the guffaws of the assem
bled reporters. “I wanted to be involved in
politics,” he sighed. “I gave people a chance.
They said no.”

REFORM PARTY CLEARED
“(An Ohio) criminal prosecution is not warranted at this time.”
— Franklin County Prosecutor Michael Milk
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A county
prosecutor has cleared Ross Perot ’s Re
form Party of wrongdoing in collecting sig
natures to qualify for the Nov. 5 ballot.
Ohio law requires circulators to attest
that they witnessed every signature on the
form they circulate.
“Given the breadth of the term ‘witness’
and the fact that a criminal case must be
proven beyond a reasonable doubt, it is my
conclusion that a criminal prosecution is
not warranted at this time,” Franklin
County Prosecutor Michael Miller said in a
letter to Secretary of State Bob Taft.
Taft had referred allegations of fake sig
natures and improper signing procedures
to prosecutors in Franklin and Mont
gomery counties.
“It’s not out of personal generosity, fc
because there is no reason to pursue an;
charges against anyone,” Russel Verne;
Reform Party national coordinator, said' I
Thursday’s decision.
“I always knew I never did anyttaj I
wrong,” said Sandra Reckseit of the sute [
of Worthington, field coordinator fori'j
Reform Party in Ohio and Indiana. I
glad they investigated and didtheirjob. j
Former Perot supporter Anne Saucifl I
whose hundreds of calls to petition signed I
brought about the investigation, said sb
had expected Miller’s decision.
The investigation continued Monday*

Gingrich predicts GOP to take Texas
Gingrich
DALLAS (AP) — The Republicans expect*
gain up to half the 10 Texas congresaioP
seats up for grabs this fall, enough to take tr
lead in the state’s delegation, Newt Gingrid
said Monday.
Gingrich predicted the party will not only sta';
off Democratic advances but fortify its gains
1994 with another 15 to 25 seats nationally.
“We think we’re going to get three to five 1 ' |
those seats right here in Texas alone,” Gingn*
told more than a thousand people who paid '
