Three ways to
beat the high
cost of college.
1. The Montgomery Gl Bill
2. Student loan repayment
3. Part-time Income
The Army Reserve Alternate
Training Program is a smart way to
pay for college.
First, if you qualify, the Mont
gomery GI Bill can provide you with
up to $7,124 for current college ex
penses or approved vo/tech training.
Second, if you have—or obtain—a
qualified student loan not in default,
you may get it paid off at the rate of
15% per year or $500, whichever is
greater, up to a maximum of $10,000.
Selected military skills can double that
maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time
money in college, and here’s how it
works: One summer you take Basic
Training, and the next summer you
receive skill training at an Army
school. You’ll earn over $1,500 for
Basic and even more for skill training.
Then you’ll attend monthly meetings
at an Army Reserve unit near your
college, usually one weekend a month
plus two weeks a year. You’ll be paid
over $107 a weekend to start. It’s
worth thinking about. Give us a call:

Boenig said the overwhelm
ing support of family and
friends makes the traumatic ex
perience more bearable. He said
the concern and care he receives
is indicative of what the A&M
community stands for.
Boenig said that although he
is frustrated by his inability to
move, he knows his therapy
will be successful and he will
fully recover.
“There’s no doubt in my
mind that I’m going to be walk

LOS ANGELES (AP) — De
spite Ross Perot’s expressed in
difference towards another pres
idential run, rank-and-file mem
bers of his new Reform Party
said Sunday the Dallas billion
aire remains their first choice.
But many of those attending
the party’s first statewide con
vention also expressed skepti
cism over his ability to win.
“We are looking to this party
as a real chance for a vehicle for
a presidential candidacy and to
really build a strong party. Obvi
ously that goes beyond one
man,” said state Reform Party
chairman Michael Ferris.
And party leaders said at the
conclusion of the two-day Cali
fornia conference that getting
the party on the ballot nation
wide — rather than just the
name of Perot as an individual
— is proving a more daunting
task than they had realized.
Despite months of intense
work, Perot’s party in one
form or another is currently
only on the ballot in 12 states:
California, Ohio, Arkansas,
North Dakota, Utah, South
Carolina, Maine, Montana,
Minnesota, Virginia, Ten
nessee and South Dakota .
But in two — Tennessee and
South Dakota — he is listed as
a “stand-in” because the party
was unable to get itself on the
ballot under its own banner.
Overassignment

students, they should let all the best in [to the res
idence halls].
Not everyone feels this would be the best way to
fill the residence halls, including Steven Van
Dysk, who was accepted as a student and given a
permanent housing assignment for Fall 1996
through the regular program.
“You can’t give up all the housing spots based
on SAT scores,” Van Dysk said. “You have to di
vide them up somehow.”
Rydl said the reasoning for breaking up the
housing spots in each admissions category is to
give all incoming freshman an equal opportunity.
Gary Englegau, executive director of Admis
sions Counseling, said both sides have a point in

revitalization of Northgate. It
deals with parking, traffic, land
use, redevelopment guidelines
and what funding is available.”
Misconceptions about the re
vitalization efforts have arisen
over the past few months.
Pavlinski said he wants the stu
dents to be informed as to what
is really occurring.
“The biggest concern I’ve
heard from students is that
Northgate is going to be turned
into a family area and all bars
are going to be taken out,”
Pavlinski said. “Basically that
they’re going to lose Northgate
and it’s not going to be what
the early admissions argument, but noted the ap
peal of off-campus housing.
“We need to make freshmen realize how easy it is
to live off campus just like it is on campus with things
like the shuttle bussing system,” Englegau said.
“Sure, freshmen would like to live on campus, but we
need to alleviate that fear [of living off campus].
You’re not going to get to know everyone in your
apartment, but you’re not going to get to know
everyone in your dorm either.”
Another frequent suggestion is to build more
residence halls, a solution Rydl said is more com
plex than it seems.
She said the Residence Life and Housing Depart
ment is currently completing a long-range study in
order to determine future housing needs, and that
many residence halls are also in need of repair.
“Do we fix them first or build new buildings
first?” Rydl said. “Either way, the students end up
paying the price.”
dents by preserving the district
as a place that can be visited
years after graduation.”
One of the goals of the board
is to establish an area where
students and the community will
feel comfortable spending time.
Tom Williams, PTTS director
and a member of the board, said
he hopes the changes will in
crease the number of people vis
iting Northgate.
“In years past, Northgate was
College Station,” Williams said.
“The first city hall was there. It
was the city center until the city
developed into shopping center
mode. I think it serves a very
valuable purpose. If housing can
be developed that will generate
foot and bicycle traffic, then it
will be a really neat stopping off
area from campus to home.”
they know as Northgate. That’s
not what’s going to happen.”
Pavlinski said repairs are
necessary in order to preserve
Northgate. He said the infra
structure is deteriorating and
must be restored.
Cheryl and Don Anz opened
the Dixie Chicken on Northgate
in 1974 with Don Canter. Cheryl
Anz is also a member of the Re
vitalization Board and said stu
dents along with the community
will benefit from the changes.
“I would like to assure the
students that the efforts in revi
talizing Northgate will improve
accessibility in parking,” Anz
said. “That’s something that’s a
problem now. The face-lift that’s
proposed won’t affect the overall
feel of a predominately student
area. It would benefit the stu-

music, and all of a sudden it’s gone.”
Local bands are now waiting for another live
venue to take Northgate Cafe’s place.
Moaty said people should not worry because he
is certain something else will open.
“What I’m expecting is that someone is going to
open Northgate soon,” Moaty said. “You have to
have live music. Everyone knows live music gets
the crowds. I support the local live music as much
as I can. I never tried to get anyone from out of
town. If you ask any of the bands, all of them
started at Northgate.”
Tohlen said even if someone does reopen the
building, it will never be the same.
“I’m sure someone will open it up, but it won’t
be what it used to be,” Tohlen said. “Northgate
was special because Ahmed didn’t care. He let
bands just starting out play there. It was kind of
like Austin’s Hole in the Wall. A new band could
come there and get its start.”
Willie Bennett, partner and general manager of
3rd Floor Cantina and the Dixie Theater, said he
was disappointed to hear about the fate of North-
gate Cafe. He does not know if he will be able to
book the overflow of local bands.
“I really hate seeing it closed,” Bennett said.
“Right now, I’ve got all I can handle. I have a file
cabinet with four drawers full of bands. There are
so many bands out there that I don’t have time for
them all. I’m doing the best that I can. I am going

Koeck was told by friends who had seen pic
tures of the accident that the cars looked as if they
had been through a trash compactor.

together. Koeck said he has fond memories of the
times he shared with Ibanez.
to try to book some local bands.”
When the Cow Hop closed at its South College
Avenue location in April, Moaty saw an opportuni
ty to bring an Aggie tradition back to Northgate.
“After I took over the lease of the King of the
Roadhouse, I was looking for a name for the place,”
Moaty said. “It happened that Jim and Judy
McGuire were closing down the Cow Hop. I read in
The Battalion how that closing was the closing of an
Aggie tradition. Everyone knows the Cow Hop.”
Moaty said moving the Cow Hop back to its
original location at Northgate will mean better
business for the restaurant.
“I think it will do better because this is the best
location,” Moaty said. “It attracted families in the
South College location but here it will attract
school staff and students. It’s now across from
campus and it’s a much shorter walk.”
Moaty said moving the location from Northgate
to South College took away from the tradition.
“There is this mentality in town,” Moaty said.
“People think even though they were doing well in
the new location that it was a mistake to leave. It’s
tradition. I have customers who left town for a few
years, came back and couldn’t find the Cow Hop”
For those who will miss Northgate Cafe’s food,
Moaty has decided to feature Northgate’s subma
rine-type sandwiches along with the Cow Hop’s
hamburgers and french fries.
Moaty said there will also be some live music at
the restaurant. Sneaky Pete will perform on
Thursdays and Fridays will be blues night.
“We are going to get Sneaky Pete at the Cow
Hop,” Moaty said. “He’s an Aggie tradition. He used
to play at Northgate and we moved him with us.”

Autumn Leveridge, a junior bioengineering
major, was in the woodwind section of the Aggie
Band with Ibanez. She said she considered him
as a mentor.
“He was a really outgoing person and an out
standing cadet,” Leveridge said. “His death was a
shock to me.”
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, May
15 in Roma, Tx. Koeck, the majority of their outfit
and other Aggies were present at the ceremony.
“The number of friends that visited this border
town to honor Ibanez was impressive,” Koeck said.
