Why should you have to trade an arm and a leg for her hand? We know how important price is when buying jewelry, and we offer some of the most competitive prices available. Many jewelers inflate prices, so they can have sales and offer discounts frequently. Others imply wholesale or importer prices. But at David Gardners, you’ll never find a sale, because our prices are so competitive all the time. As a customer, you can trust us to work at any price level to suit your needs and help you get the most for your money. cJavicI qarcJner's Jewelers ♦ Gemologists 522 University Drive E • Between the Suit Club and Audio Video • 764-8786 • 764-8657 Students from Texas A&M went to court in Austin last weekend to engage in a mock trial. These stu dents were representing the TAMU LEGALS, a group associated with the prelaw society. Adam Wagner, a senior electrical engineering major, said LEGALS encompasses a wide range of law- bound students. “Everybody has intentions of going to law school,” he said. “Ages range from first semester freshmen to people graduating in December, like me.” LEGALS participates in two forms of competition during the school year — mock trial and moot court. Mock trial simulates a civil law suit trial with six- to seven-member teams acting as witnesses and attorneys. The competition is GUF Continued from Page 1 Baggett said the blame for the situation lies with the Legislature not increasing tuition for salaries, and allowing individual universi-. ties to increase the GUF. “Don’t get mad at President Bowen,” he said. “Get mad at your state representatives and sena tors. The blame lies with the Legislature.” Baggett said Student Government will be asking the Legislature for additional scholar ships to compensate for the increased cost of education. "As fees increase, we need to push the Legislature to have com pensatory levels of scholarships,” he said. Letter Continued from Page 1 Blackwood said the success of the Rice and A&M bands is more of an indication of the students’ move into the computer age than a reflec tion of the bands’ talent. “What it speaks to more than anything is that Rice University and Texas A&M are both hard-wired into the Internet and moving into the future, where you can influence things by a click of the mouse,” Blackwood said.

Moot court simulates an appel late court where a two-person team represents the petitioner and another team represents the appel lant before the “Supreme Court." This past semester, the mock trial team of freshmen and sophomores placed second in the preliminaries. In moot court, out of the seven teams from A&M that attended, five members received oralist awards and two of the teams advanced to the quarterfinals with one of them placing first. Abigail Mathews, LEGALS’ pres ident and a senior history and anthropology major, is Wagner’s partner in moot court. She coaches LEGALS by review ing rules with them and drilling them in cross-examination. LEGALS is a good introduction to law school, Mathews said. "It’s an outstandingwai grasp on what people dc school,” she said. “This isap ; ^ip^i get hands on experience fiEMU law school to see if this is want to do.” LEGALS has received hi the Office of Professional Advising and various atn the area.
