Friday • May 8
Class of ’99 to become senior
By Rachel Dawley
StoffWriter
The Corps of Cadets will have its
annual Final Review on Saturday,
May 16, at the O. R. Simpson Drill
Field. The review will be followed by
Boot Dance, a celebration for the en
tire junior class as it moves into se
nior status.
The tradition of Final Review be
gan more than 100 years ago. It is the
last activity of the Corps before it is
dismissed for the summer.
Danny Feather, 1997-98 corps
commander and a senior economics
major, said Final Review is a special
time for all members of the Corps.
“Final Review is the most cher
ished tradition in the Corps,” Feath
er said. “For seniors, it is sad, but it is
also rewarding.”
At two o’clock, the Corps will de
part the Quadrangle in formation, led
by the senior class. Cadets make their
way around campus, ending at
Simpson Drill Field. Each outfit pass
es in review for inspection by review
ing officers.
Following the review, freshman,
sophomore and junior cadets run
back to the Quad and change into
their new uniforms.
The cadets reassemble under the
new leadership and again make their
way through campus to Simpson
Drill Field. This is the only time the
Corps is assembled without fresh
men. The current seniors form a line
facing the Corps and the second pass
is made in their honor.
After the review, the new class of
cadets join their classmates at Boot
Dance. The tradition of Boot
Dance centers around the Corps’ se
nior boots. The first senior boots at
Texas A&M were worn
the Corps changed ftomWi
style uniforms to the natioi
uniform.

Congress decides how much is too mil
WASHINGTON (AP) — The sun
was shining, beers were selling for $ 1
and Tequila Grill was having a “Cin-
co de Mayo” party as Dave Carlisle
met his friends for an after-work
drink.Before taking his first sip,
Carlisle let loose against efforts to
enact tougher drunken driving stan
dards nationwide.
“I appreciate responsible drink
ing, but I think it’s going a little over
board,” Carlisle, 36, said as he un
buttoned his double-breasted
blazer. “I don’t think the social
drinker should be stigmatized be
cause somebody’s mother got killed
by a drunk driver.”
Sixteen states already have tight
ened their standards for drunken
driving from a blood alcohol con
centration level of 0.10 percent to
0.08 percent. Now Congress is de
bating whether to push states na
tionwide to make the change, one
of the most divisive issues as House
and Senate negotiators try to com
plete work on a $200 billion-plus
highway bill.
Both sides cite numbers from the

Critics point out that a 120-pound
woman having two glasses of wine
over two hours could be branded a
drunken driver. Supporters say a
170-pound man wouldn’t reach the
limit unless he downed four beers
in an hour.
“Four drinks in one hour on an
empty stomach for a 170-pound
male is not social drinking,” said
