Jasper jury still
deliberating
After 12 hours of deliber
ation, jurors have yet to come
to a decision on the punish
ment of Lawrence Russell
Brewer, who was found
guilty of the June 1998 drag
ging death of James Byrd Jr.
The jury found Brewer
guilty after four hours of de
liberation Monday. Brewer is
the second of three men to go
to trial accused in the capital
murder case. Shawn Berry
has yet to be tried.
William King, the first
man to be tried and found
guilty in the case, was sen
tenced to death by legal in
jection after three hours of
deliberation.

Eateries patronized by Texas Aggies are
becoming more technologically advanced
as they take to the web to offer a new,
more efficient service to their customers.
Two local restaurants — Jason’s Deli
and Papa John’s Pizza — are now offering
online ordering, allowing customers ac
cess and customize menus to order food
for carry-out or delivery.
Jason Hollen, district marketing man
ager for Jason’s Deli, said computer-based
service began on Sept. 6 in College Station,
following implementation in the Austin
stores in January.
“As technology grows, it becomes a
customer service issue for us,” Hollen
said.
Jason’s Deli will be rolling out the on
line menus to the Dallas and Houston mar
ket areas soon.
Hollen said residents in the Bryan-Col-
lege Station area receive free delivery with
a $10 minimum purchase and Aggie Bucks
will soon be used as a method of payment
for deliveries, but the process is taking
time because they are trying to eliminate
any potential security concerns.
Jim Pappenfus, a manager at Papa
John’s Pizza and a sophomore business
management major, said Papa John’s re
ceives online orders daily.
“But the telephone is still pi
lar,” Pappenfus said.
The Jason’s Deli Websiteani
system is comprehensive,

Their entire menu is availat;;

One of the world’s fore
most earth scientists will host
a lecture on his research of
the earth’s atmosphere today
at 4 p.m. in 101 Halbouty
Building.
Dr. Fred Mackenzie, pro
fessor of geology, geophysics
and oceanography at the
University of Hawaii-
Manoa’s school of Oceanog
raphy and Earth science and
Technology, is the first hold
er of the $1 million Michel T.
Halbouty Visiting Chair in
Geology and Geophysics.
“[The lecture will be] con
cerned with the carbon diox
ide content in the atmos
phere over the last 300
years,” Mackenzie said.
Michel T7 Halbouty, Class
of ’30, said he is visiting to
support Mackenzie.
“This is the only visiting
chair tour at A&M, ” Halbouty
said.
“I understand that other
colleges in the University are
interested in what we are do
ing at the College of Geo
science, and want to set up
their own visiting chairs.”
Dr. Andrew Hajash, head
of the Department of Geolo
gy and Geophysics, said
Mackenzie is author and/or
co-author of more than 150
scholarly publications on
topics such as oceanography,
-earth sciences and bio-geo
chemistry.
He said the endowment
gives the University a chance
to learn more about different
disciplines.
“This endowment gives
our department a chance
every year to bring in a new
world renowned scientist,”
Hajash said.

originally said the utilities,
including electricity and gas,
had been shut off at the time
of the fire, but Hilliard said
the utilities were turned on
when the fire occurred.
Some suspicion had been
raised surrounding the
cause of the fire when it was
thought the utilities had
been turned off.
He said the fire came at a
difficult time for the frater
nity.
“It was such a freak acci
dent and a tragedy,” he said.
“The house had six years
of memories and sentimen
tal value, it was a difficult
time for the fraternity be
cause it happened during re
cruitment time.”

McHam said Warden was a spiri
tual person who would not have
changed his passion for skydiving,
even if he had known it would take
his life.
“He had such strong ties with peo
ple that he has friends from Boston
and California coming in for his ser
vice on one day’s notice,” he said.
Warden, Class of ’97, was em
ployed by Dura, a pharmaceutical
company, and is survived by his wife
and two dogs.
