Swanzy said any student or for
mer student who has completed all
the course requirements as of Sum
mer ’99, must visit the Aggie Ring
Office to complete a ring audit no lat
er than Dec. 8 for March delivery.
“The distribution date for the
rings is a tentative schedule which
has not been confirmed,” she said.
“We are still trying to decide where
in the building the rings will be passed out,
we guarantee that the rings will be available
either on April 6 or [April] 8, which is the
plan now.”
Swanzy said students still have time to or
der their rings. She said the change in the dis
tribution date should not affect.

able foods, no more than three quarts of drink
ing water, a flashlight and prescription drugs.
“Having the kit can be helpful in any sit
uation,” Moss said. “If it is not used, stu
dents can keep it in their home or car.”
She said people should not withdraw
more money than normal for the holidays,
because of a potential risk of theft.
Misty Duncan, a junior environmental
design major, said her biggest fear about
Y2K is panic from other people.
“1 believe the companies and business
es are ready for Y2K because it would be
in their best interest with all the time and
money they invest,” she said. “It is other
people who will panic and possibly ruin
the celebration for everyone else.”
