Campus-to-campus shuttle starts toda
The Reveille bus route will no longer service the Blinn campuL
By Marissa Alanis
The Battalion
Starting today, the new Texas A&M shuttle to
Blinn will provide transportation service for stu
dents enrolled in both schools.
Prior to the new service, the off-campus
Reveille bus route serviced the Blinn campus,
making it the third to last stop. The entire route
to and from A&M was allotted 36 minutes.
Michael Hutney, assistant manager for Shut
tle Bus Operations, said the Blinn portion of the
Reveille route is being discontinued. The Blinn
campus will be serviced by its own shuttle.
“We’re providing better service for Reveille pa
trons and still providing service to Blinn patrons
as well,” Hutney said.
The Blinn shuttle route will run Monday
through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The bus stop
at Blinn will be located in front of the campus.
Because of Blinn’s abbreviated class schedule
on Fridays, the bus route’s Friday hours will be
shortened from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The new bus stop is directly across from the
on-campus Reveille bus stop on Hogg Street.
The Reveille bus will run in an eastbound di
rection while the Blinn shuttle will go in a west
bound direction. The Centerpole bus route,
“We’re providing better
service for Reveille patrons
and still providing service
to Blinn patrons as well.”

which has an on-campus stop on Asbury Street
at the corner of the Northside parking garage,
will take over the Blinn route and run from 6:30
p.m. to 10 p.m.
Reveille will resume serving the East 29th
Street and Briarcrest Drive area in Bryan.
Jeremy Drager, a bus driver and senioii
cultural economics major, said many™
passengers complained the route tooktoo|
with the addition of the Blinn stop.
“It took an extra six minutes on thealreal

He said it can be hard to decide wheilj

Rick Powell, coordinator for Stu
dent Legal Services, said a bar
tender charged with selling to a mi
nor can face jail time or a fine.
Bartenders are required to have
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commis
sion certification through a course
on alcoholic beverages.
In the class, bartenders learn
about the effects of alcohol and
when to stop serving someone.
A business can lose its liquor li
cense or face sanctions such as
fines, if found liable for misconduct
of serving alcohol.
If Hurricane Harry’s is found li
able, it will lose its liquor license and
may have to close down.
Kendall Bonds, a senior agrono
my major, said he visits Hurricane
Harry’s often.
“I would hate to see Harry’s shut
down,” Bonds said. "But action needs
to be taken to prevent any incidents
such as this from happening again.”
Hurricane Harry’s owner Gary
Seaback was unavailable for
comment.

James Flora, vice president of the
Aggie Wranglers and a senior
wildlife major, said the dance squad
has an extensive resume. In addi
tion to repeated appearances on
TNN, the group performed at the
1994 World Cup soccer cofnpetition
and the 1996 NBA All-Star game.
Flora said the Wranglers also per
form every year at the MSC Variety
Show, the Muster Barbecue, the
Bevo Burn and at the State Fair of
Texas during Texas-OU Weekend.
Flora said the group’s recent
trip to Nashville was a memorable
experience.
“We had a really good time,”
he said.
Senate
Continued from Page 1
The fifth proposal, altering the
size of the Senate, will be decided by
the Senate.
The consensus of the Sunday
night group was to decrease the size
of the Senate, without eliminating
residency seats.
Suggestions included decreasing
the number of off-campus senators
from the current 18 seats to nine or
four senators and adding at-large
Senate members.
The bill will be drafted this week
before the Senate’s Wednesday
night meeting when it will be pre
sented for first reading.
At the Feb. 6 meeting, students
and members of Student Govern
ment discussed different ways to
improve the Senate.
The Senate’s internal affairs team
compiled the results of the Feb. 6
meeting and drew up the proposal
presented at the forum Sunday.
Childers said the meeting al
lowed people attending to openly
discuss ideas and suggestions with
out feeling threatened.
"I think it (Feb. 6 meeting) was
probably the most productive
meeting Senate has had all year,”
Childers said.
Those who attended were divid
ed into small discussion groups
each led by a Senate officer.
Each group discussed three is
sues concerning the Senate. The
first issue focused on different ways
to make Senators accountable to
their constituents.
The next issue concentrated on
what requirements Senators should
have before election and during
their term in the Senate.
The final issue addressed the
best process for filling vacant seats
in the Senate.
Each Senate officer turned in a
written report of their group's sug
gestions and ideas after the meeting.
