shoot,” she said.
Scores of teen-agers attended last night’s
weekly service because of the annual ‘‘See
You At The Pole” ceremony.
The annual gathering, where students af
firm their faith and concern for the problems
of society by holding prayer time around
their school’s flagpole, began in 1990 as an
emphasis of the Texas Baptist Convention.
It takes place on the third Wednesday of
September.
Dax Hughes, the church’s college minis
ter, said at least 150 young people were in
side the sanctuary when the disheveled,
mustached gunman arrived.
“He hits the door real hard to make his
presence known, and he just immediately
started firing,” Hughes said.
When the gunfire was over, Hughes said,
the man “sat in the back pew and put a gun
[to his head] and shot himself and fell over.”
Chris Applegate, 12, said he was in choir
practice when the gunman burst into the
room.
“We were singing a song and then in the
middle of the song, this guy opened the door
and fired one shot,” he said. “He just kept
telling us to stay still.
“We all just jumped under the benches and
he fired about 10 more shots. Somebody said,
‘Run, run,’ and we all started running.”
The man reloaded his large-caliber hand
gun several times during the rampage,
which some first thought was a skit or
prank.
“I was wondering whether it was real or
not,” Chris said.
Gov. George W. Bush said in a statement
from Detroit: "This is a terrible tragej
made worse by the fact that it took place I
a house of hope and love. My thoughtsal
prayers are with the victims, their familil
and the congregation.”

“This is sort of pro-active be
cause we will be talking about
things that are happening and
what can be done about them,”
TVavers said.
Tonight’s skit will be the sec
ond of two presentations of the
program.
The first was held last night in
the A-l lounge and had approxi
mately 25 students and staff in at
tendance.
Logan Youree, a junior speech
communication major, plays the
role of a boyfriend who goes into a
jealous rage and ends up raping a
girl.
He said he also participated in
the similar skits at the New Stu
dent Conferences for the incoming
freshman and transfer students.
Youree said he wanted to be a
part of “He Said/She Said” to raise
awareness about these issues on
campus and to hopefully have
those who have been a victim of
rape or sexual assault come for
ward.
“I know people who this has hap
pened to, and it is very sad and scary
that someone has to deal with it,”
he said.
Youree said he was glad that
there was an even ratio of females
to males in the audience, and he
hopes to have even more patrons
tonight.
Rebecca Gardnr, a Resident Ad
visor of FHK complex and a junior
construction science major, said
date rape is a problem on campus
and people do not realize it be
cause this is such a conservative
campus.
“Too many times, discussions
take place after the fact and not a
lot of preventative discussion takes
place,” she said.
Gardnr said last night’s perfor
mance also helped to inform
more students about the re
sources they have on campus in
cluding Beutel Health Center, the
Women’s Clinic and Gender Is
sues and Education services.
Free pizza and soft drinks will
be available tonight and all stu
dents are invited to attend.

feels strong camaraderie with oth

“I felt like it was every Aggies
responsibility to apply for [CAR-

“If any school was going to do
this, it would be this school be
