AGGIES HAZE:
"Aggies do not lie, cheat, or steal, nor do
they tolerate those who do.”
-Aggie Code of Honor
SO WHY DO AGGIES
TOLERATE HAZING?
Being an AGGIE is about more than living by a code of
honor, it is about developing honor amongst each other.
There is no educational or human value in hazing.
Use all the resources available to you to let AGGIES
know what hazing is and why it will not be tolerated.
In the fall of 1998, Texas A&M’s Student Conflict
Resolution Services issued 50 individual charges of
alleged hazing.
HAZING COSTS US OUR HONOR
To report hazing, contact one of the following offices:

NBA earns strong TV ratings despite delayeifj
NEW YORK (AP) — Not even
the loss of Michael Jordan or the
impact of the lockout kept viewers
away from their TV sets on the
NBA’s opening weekend.
Surprisingly, NBC’s Sunday af
ternoon doubleheader averaged a
5.8 overnight rating — up 2 percent
from 1998.
The network’s opener last sea
son, a doubleheader on Christmas
Day, posted a 5.7 overnight rating.
Each ratings point represents
994,000 homes.
“It’s a good start, but everybody
here and in the NBA knows that it’s
just that — a start,” NBC
spokesperson Ed Markey said. “We
know we still have a lot of work to
do to regain the fans and keep the
interest.”
NBC’s first game was a regional
telecast in which 41 of the 44
overnight markets saw the Miami-
New York game. It posted a 4.6 rat
ing while the Indiana-Detroit game
recorded a 9.5 mark. The reason

“I think she’s a great swimmer
and a good person. She’s wonder
ful for the team.”
The team seems to be a major
reason for Clara’s decision to attend
the University. “I love my team
mates,” she said. “I don’t think I
would get the support anywhere
else that I get here. After I came here
I didn’t want to go anywhere else.”
Ho said she is excited about
swimming against the best in the Big
12, which includes eighth-ranked
Nebraska and llth-ranked Texas.
Wagner thinks she will be a force
in the Big 12.
“While I can’t predict what she’ll
finish, I can say she will definitely be
a factor in the 100 and 200 butterfly,”
he said. "She’s going to do great.”
So what about a second shot at
the Olympics? Considering her high
finish three years ago, it would not be
a stretch to say she has a good chance
at making it in 2000. After all, the last
time she tried she was a sophomore
in high school and only missed it by
seven spots. “I’m looking forward to
the 2000 trials which will be August
of my sophomore year,” she said. “I
think that I have a real good shot at
making it.”
why the Pacers game was so high
is primarily because it was only
watched in the two host cities and
Chicago.
The rating for the second game
of Sunday’s telecast that matched
Shaquille O’Neal’s Lakers against
Karl Malone’s Jazz was a 6.5.
“There were probably a lot of
factors that contributed to our
strong ratings,” Markey added.
“Fans were itching to see the NBA,
they had a curiosity to see different
players on new teams, and there
are more teams whose fans feel
they have a legitimate shot at a
championship."
Timer Sports had similar suc
cess with its two games Friday
night on TNT.
The first game, New York at Or
lando, posted a 2.5 rating while the
Rockets-Lakers matchup received a
3.1 for an overall mark of 2.8.
That was a 65 percent jump
from Timer’s average last season.

MCGWIRE
NEW YORK (AP) — The man
who spent more than $3 million to
buy Mark McGwire’s 70th home
run ball finally
identified him
self Monday and
quickly admitted
he was a “psycho
fan” and a
“sports geek.”
Todd McFar-
lane, the creator
of Spawn comic
books, held an
offbeat news conference, saying his
purchase “was a mixture of busi
ness, charity and self-indulgence to
the Nth degree. ”
The 37-year-old Canadian,
who lives in Tempe, Ariz., is a mi
nority investor in the NHL’s Ed
monton Oilers. He has a compa
ny that makes action figures and
said the timing of his announce
ment was tied to the yearly Toy
Fair in New York.
McFarlane, who paid $3,005,000
for No. 70, had not seen the ball un-
