MSC to unveil final
woodcarving addition
NEWS IN BRIEF
ttalion
Administrators set
to get soaked for
the SECC today
BY MELISSA JORDAN
The Battalion
The seventh in a series of walnut
panels displayed in the MSC will be
unveiled tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.
This weekend the Class of ’93
will celebrate their five year reunion
and will unveil the carved walnut
panel they commissioned as a class
gift to the University.
The carved panels depict A&M’s
history and traditions, and the orig
inal six were designed to commem
orate the University’s centennial an
niversary.
Rodney Hill, associate dean of the
Department of Architecture, and his
wife, Susan, created the original six
panels.
The original six panels were de
signed by Hill in 1973. The Class of
’93 wanted the seventh panel to
commemorate the years between
1973 and 1993 with a special em
phasis on student life and the "oth
er education.”
Hill said he thought the panels
should depict all sides of student life
at Texas A&M.
“It was a real thrill to do one that
included the ‘other education,’ he
said.
Hill incorporated symbols from
organizations on campus and phys
ical changes that have been made to
the A&M campus since 1973.
The construction of residence
halls and Albritton Tower, and the
expansion of Kyle Field are among
the pieces of A&M history tied into
Hill’s carving.
Hill said he believes plans for an
eighth panel will soon follow. The
panel will commemorate A&M's
125th anniversary.
The eighth panel might portray
the year following the centennial
mark of A&M history and may in
clude buildings such as the George
Bush Library.

Kotch said the officials taking
tickets at each gate will be checking
the tickets, and students must enter
through the correct gates. He said of
ficials will also be strictly enforcing
that students present their student
identification cards along with their
tickets upon entering the stadium.
Billy Pickard, associate athletic
director for facilities, said the hope
is by September 1999 all seating for
the north end zone section will be
replaced.
Pickard said that during past
Kyle Field renovation projects he
has found movement around the
restricted areas to be fairly orderly.
“We have found, when we
added the second and third decks,
everyone seems to accommodate
the restrictions better than when
the stadium is done,” Pickard said.
“Our experience is the students
are wonderful, and they realize it's
just going to take a little longer to
get in and out of the stadium.’’
Kotch said he suggests students
pay attention to which gate they are
assigned to enter and arrive early to
avoid confusion and longer delays.
“It’s going to be a tight bottle
neck at all four entrances because
a lot of people will be trying to go
in the same places,’’ Kotch said.

Of the date rape cases reported
to the Rape Crisis Center in 1997,
13 of the 15 victims identified were
between the age of 14 andO 25.
“Women do not want to believe
it could happen to them,” Nichols
said. “You cannot tell by looking at
someone whether or not they are a
rapist. Rape is not a sexual thing
but a power and control thing.”
The protocol encourages victims'
to report sexual assault as soon as
possible to aid further investigation.
Included in the protocol is a list
of survivor rights which allow the
victim to:
• submit a victim impact state
ment,
• have a counselor accompany the
victim during a hearing,
• request immediate on-campus
housing relocation based on space,
• be informed of the hearing’s out
come upon request,
• make a record of the hearing at
personal expense.
The Rape Crisis Center has ap
proximately 25 students currently
volunteering.

is in the planning stages.
“We want to bring everyone to
the forefront, so they can ask ques
tions about specific things. We want
to tiring different student leaders
also. We want them to be a part of
it,” she said.
Nickel feels strongly about work
ing to dispel stereotypes of student
organizations.
“It is something that is very' close
to my heart. It is sad — we are alien
ating Aggies for being interested in
something and serving something,"
she said.
Nickel is also addressing parking
during her campaign. Over the sum
mer, visitor parking rates increased
to $1 per hour, while the fine for
parking in the wrong lot rose from
$10 to $25.
“We’re continually challenged
by student input in decisions
parking and transit is making.
Some decisions were made where
the student voice was not sought
after,” she said.
The proposal of a $50 fee to he
paid each semester by all students in
order to overhaul the bus system is
something Nickel has consulted
Gary Jackson, director of Bus Oper
ations about.
The extension of the add/drop
period originally proposed does not
look promising.
However, a reformed Q-drop pol
icy and the installation of a forgive
ness rule appear to be possibilities.
“We want a 60/60/60 Q-drop pol
icy, where in the first 60 hours, a stu
dent gets two Q-drops, and in the
second 60 hours, the student gets
two Q-drops. We are also working
on the parameters of the Q-drop —
increasing the days a student is able
to drop by extending the Q-drop date
