Volunteers will be repairing the first
fleet of bicycles in the MSC basement
on Feb. 22 at 1 p.m.
Burton said all students are wel
come to come and help repair the
bicycles. The success of the program
depends on student involvement in
the program, he said.
Students interested in helping
with the program can call the Student
Government office at 845-3051.
The first fleet of thirty-five to fifty
bicycles will be available around
March 16.
Burton said he hopes the pro
gram brings convenient transporta
tion to the students.
“I want it (Borrow-a-Bike) to be a
success,” he said. “I want to help the
students out.”
The bill passed unanimously.

Loomis said to offset the 7,000 to 8,000 trees cut for the 1995 Bonfire,
Replant participants planted nearly double that number last spring.
He said the number of trees planted is not necessarily the num
ber of trees that will ultimately replace those cut down.
“Not every tree survives that is potted,” Loomis said. “(Since
1990], the total survival rate has been 40 percent.”
Because of a drought last summer, 1,500 potted seedlings re
mained from an original 10,000. Therefore, 1,000 fewer students
were needed to participate this year because there were fewer trees
to plant, Loomis said.
The Replant organization has tried to remedy the low survival
rate. Loomis said these efforts include using larger pots, allowing
the potted plants to grow for 2 or 3 years rather than just one, plac
ing bark mulch around the seedlings and adding root stimulator to
the potted plant.
Replant this year will be near Lake Somerville at an old Clayton
Williams oil well that exploded in 1985, killing the surrounding vege
tation. Trees planted Saturday will include saw-toothed oak, live oak,
bald cypress and green ash among others, Loomis said.
“ [ We want to] revegetate the area and help the forest reclaim the
land,” Loomis said.

Nickel said many of the students
think A&M is only made up of foot-y
ball players and sports figures.—
“We want to encourage acade
mics and make them see the whole
picture,” she said. “That is the rea
son we scheduled the tour.”
Nickel said she worried at first
that the children might not un
derstand the student govern
ment processes she and Dewald
were teaching. But her worries
were put to rest soon after she
began working with the children.
“The children are amazing,”
she said. “They are so much more
mature than I was at that age. This
student council has become their
life. They actually look forward to
their Friday meetings.”
Scott Musser,- the vice presi
dent and a fourth-grader at Peb
ble Creek, said the student coun
cil held a canned food and toy
drive for charity.
“Those were really fun,” he
said. “Plus we had a Realtor’s Day,
where we served cake and took
people on tours of the school, so
the realtors could tell people
moving into the area about Peb
ble Creek.”
Dewald said all the children
wanted to get involved in giving
great
are al-
nev-
back to the community.
“These kids have
hearts,” she said. "They
ways looking outward: th
er look inward.
“When all these kids got up and
presented their speeches during
elections, they talked about helping
other students. They talked about
making Pebble Creek a better
school,” Dewald said. “These kids
actually understand that being a
good leader means being willing to
help others.”
Musser said he wanted to make
things better for his classmates.
“I wanted to be on student coun
cil so I can help make Pebble Creek
the best it could be," he said.
