Penalties for individuals charged with causing in
jury to a pregnant woman could become tougher if
the Texas House of Representatives passes a bill al
ready approved by the Senate (SB-188).
The Criminal Jurisprudence Committee in the
House is considering passing the bill that would
make causing bodily injury to a pregnant woman a
third-degree felony offense and would increase the
penalty to a second-degree felony if the injury re
sults in miscarriage or stillbirth.
Sen. Steve Ogden, who authored the bill, said the
reform is needed to target the large number of
women who are battered in Texas.
“The percentage of women who;
while they are pregnant is alarming,"ft
a press release. “Still Texas is among

The Program Advisory Com
mittee is responsible for choosing
performances and is a mixture of
students, faculty, staff and mem
bers of the community.
“The Program Advisory Com
mittee takes people from all as
pects of the community and is
about 20 individuals total,” Ori-
abure said.
“Students from the OPAS stu
dent committee, student execu
tives, faculty and various mem
bers of the community work
together and manage to come up
with what the Brazos Valley
would like and what would not
only entertain, but what would
educate about cultures and events
from around the world."
Each spring, OPAS will sponsor
Duck Race, an annual fund-raiser
to raise money for the upcoming
season. This year’s race will be
April 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
Rudder Fountain. According to in
formation provided by OPAS, the
race is the organization’s largest
fund-raiser and accumulated
$3,000 last year.
Tickets are available at the

compare the faculties’ salaries,"
he said.
Krumm attributes A&M facul
ty members' lower salaries to a
combination of factors including
a low level of state funding and
the fact that tuition and fees are
lower than most other public uni
versities’ rates.
In a press release, a represen
tative from the Texas Faculty As
sociation said public universities
in Texas are experiencing diffi
culty recruiting their top candi
dates for faculty positions be
cause the salaries they offer are
often not competitive, especially
in high-demand areas such as
engineering and science.
