are all workable plans.
“We need to show students that
cars should be seen as weapons,”
Clarke said, “especially when the
driver has been abusing drugs or al
cohol.”
Clarke said crime-prevention
plans, like the Corps of Cadets escort
service and the on-campus emer
gency phones, are working to an ex
tent. He said the emergency phones
need to be more accessible to stu
dents.
Clarke said racial hate crimes, like
the Northgate incidents last semes
ter, can be avoided by educating Ag
gies about different cultures repre
sented on campus.
Brandon Neff said education is
the best tool for preventing alcohol
abuse on campus, and said he
would like to implement alcohol-
awareness courses.
“Many students come out of high
school without having even one al
cohol-awareness course,” he said.
“Through various committees and
educational sessions, we can almost
completely eradicate the problem.”
Neff suggested for the University
to work through the community and
with the Bryan and College Station
Police Departments to help decrease
the number of traffic-related acci
dents.
Neff said the problem with the
hazing issues is many times, it is not
clear what the actual definition of
hazing is, so they tend to do things
in a gray area.
He said one of the solutions to ad
dressing hazing is to expand upon
the hazing identification programs
Dr. Southerland invented and to
make people knowledgeable.
“The advertisements in The Bat
talion are effective because people
read that,” he said. “People are
made aware of what hazing is, how
it can affect your life and how it
stands to affect the life of the entire
campus.”
Neff said by educating Aggies
about hazing, a new generation of
Aggies who will not tolerate hazing
at any level will be created.
Will Hurd said passing a city or
dinance forcing Northgate bars to
sell food is the latest idea being dis
cussed among A&M administrators.
“The Northgate alcohol and food
proposal is a potential solution,” he
said. “However, 1 do question limit
ing the bar owners’ right to free en
terprise.”
Hurd said West Campus, espe
cially, has been neglected in regards
to being equipped with crime deter
rents. He said more lighting is need
ed, bus operation hours during the
night should be extended and more
emergency phones need to be in
stalled.
“Tve seen maybe three emer
gency phones, and the Corps es
cort service is not able to efficient
ly help those on West Campus,”
Hurd said. “Therefore, we need to
propose new ideas, like a bus shut
tle to West Campus for those who
use the library during the night
hours.”
Kendall Kelly said she does not
think A&M has a large drug prob
lem, but not enough time is spent
trying to deter students from abus
ing.
Kelly said campus emergency
phones are not in accessible areas,
the lighting on West Campus great
ly needs improvement, and the
Corps escort service needs to be
publicized more.
Kelly said all the time upper
classmen devote to haa;;
Corps and fraternities sk
spent teaching the unda
useful social skills one doe
ceive in the classroom.
“The Corps is hooked
lion, but when traditionstr
ate problems, it need;

Welch said the incident could fall
under the category of hazing be
cause Hinze was demeaned.
“Amy was visibly upset,” he said.
“No one should be verbally assault
ed.”
Welch said students who wit
nessed the incident should have
come to Hinze’s aid.
“I’m very disappointed that she
was treated in that manner and that
there was not more of an effort to
come to her defense,” he said.
Appleton said most members of
A&M Christian Fellowship did not
see Hinze get shoved and did not
think she was in harm’s way.
“There were enough of her own
friends surrounding her that we did
n’t feel one of us needed to step in,”
she said.
Wiatt said officers were in the
area monitoring, but none were sta
tioned around Short.
“These ministers have been com
ing to campus for years,” he said.
“We don’t station officers around a

together for only a week.
“It is to get people excited to car

Spofford said Resurrection Week

people to incorporate Christianity

“[Resurrection] Week is for peo

said. “It’s about the Christian
