Study Abroad Program Office, 161 Bizzcli Hall West, 845-0544 The Battalion EWS Thursday • January25 Texas A&M graduate student arreste By Amanda Smith Staff writer A Texas A&M University gradu ate student was released from the Limestone County Sheriff’s De partment on $25,000 bond Jan. 27 after being arrested for charges of sexual assault of a fifteen-year-old girl, University Police Department Detective Sgt. Jim Lindholm said. Obed Matus, a Ph.D. student and mathematics graduate as sistant, was arrested Jan. 26 by the Limestone County Sheriff’s Department. Limestone County notified the UPD that they had a warrant for the arrest of Matus on charges of sexual assault of a child. The UPD assisted with the exe cution of the arrest and the trans portation of Matus to Limestone County, Lindholm said. “Matus and the girl came to gether through e-mail and that led to a meeting,” lindholm said. “The Limestone County Sheriff’s De partment’s case (against Matus) is very strong.” The UPD may assist the lime stone County Sheriff’s Department with farther investigation, particu larly regarding the execution of search warrants, Lindholm said. Lane Stephenson, deputy di rector of University Relati the Student Affairs dep; will handle the case cor.: Matus at the UniversityIc: “By virtue of himbei; ; dent, there is soir; process,” Stephensonsa:; told that facts are bek: ered and that actionwi tated by the fact finding Lindholm said notria! Matus has been set. Expansion Continued from Page 1 “Outside amenities will include chair- backseats, overhead cover, television mon itors and cupholders.” Scruggs said the project is being funded by proceeds from seat sales. “The project is being financed via private donations through the 12th Man Foundation and suite revenues through the athletic de partment.” He said the tickets will be sold through the athletic department and to donors of the 12th Man Foundation. Scruggs said the construction will reduce the capacity for the ‘98 football season. “Capacity will be reduced to between 58,000 and 60,000 seats for the ‘98 football season,” he said. “This is due to the fact that the current north end zone seating will be removed and the process of rebuilding for the ‘99 season will have begun.” The expansion will increase the capacity when completed from 70,000 to 80,000. The University expects the project to be completed for the first football game in ‘99.
