More bicycles will be
made available later this se

maintenance problems will
be reported to a phone num
ber located on the decal, and
representatives will locate
the bicycle to repair it.
Pichakron said theft is a
concern for TAMC.
“According to the UPD,
these bikes are University
property and would be
treated as a University of
fense if someone was found
trying to steal one,"
Pichakron said. “The bikes
are supposed to stay on
campus.”
Neugart said earlier last
semester a small number of
yellow bicycles were acci
dentally released and van
dalized, but they were not a
part of the current Borrow-
A-Bike program.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) —
Attesting to Hollywood's fascina
tion with World War II, three
movies set against the war — Sav
ing Private Ryan, The Thin Red
Line and Life Is Beautiful — were
nominated Tuesday for best-pic
ture Oscars and will go up against
two Elizabethan-era tales, Shake
speare in Love and Elizabeth.
“I think this is a tribute to the
veterans,” Steven Spielberg said of
the 11 nominations for his brutally
realistic Private Ryan. “It’s impor
tant that before this century is out
ample recognition is paid to the
veterans who saved the world.”
At least eight movies dealing
with the war have won the Acade
my Award lot best picture, includ
ing Spielberg's own Schindler’s
List in 1993.
Shakespeare in Love, a rollick
ing romance about the Bard seek
ing his muse, emerged with a lead
ing 13 nominations, one shy of the
record 14 for Titanic last year and
All About Eve in 1950. Elizabeth,
about the intrigues behind the
throne, tied with The Thin Red
Line and Life Is Beautiful with sev
en nominations.
The most wins for a movie is 11,
