Undergraduate Student Requirements:
You must be a degree seeking student and have completed all of the following require
ments to order an Aggie ring:
1. 25. cumulative undergraduate credit hours reflected on the Texas A&M

2. 60 undergraduate credit hours must have been completed in residence at Texas
A&M University if your first semester at Texas A&M University was January 1994
or thereafter, or if you attended prior to 1994 and do not qualify under the suc

hour requirement will be waived if your degree is conferred with less than 60
A&M credit hours. The waiver will not be granted until after your degree is post
ed to screens #123 & #136 of the Student Information Management System.
30 undergraduate credit hours must have been completed in residence at Texas A&M

Toy Story 2
Starring the voices of Tom Hanks
and Tim Allen
Directed by John Lasseter
Toy Story 2 originally was going to be re
leased exclusively on video, as most of Disney’s
sequels are. However, as production drew to a
close, Disney realized it had a winner and de
cided to release the film in theaters — one of
Disney’s best decisions.
Toy Story 2 is breaking box-office records and
is one of the few sequels that actually surpasses
the original.
After rescuing another toy from a garage sale.
Woody (Hanks) is stolen by a slimy toy-store
owner. Buzz Lightyear (Allen) and the rest of
the toys are forced to pull out all the stops to
make their way across town and rescue Woody
before he can be packed up and shipped to a
toy museum in Japan.
Buzz gets to meet a new and improved ver
sion of himself, complete with a utility belt, and
Woody is introduced to a side of himself he nev
er knew existed and makes some new friends.
Despite these entertaining asides, the movie ul
timately is a story of loyalty and the power of
friendship, giving the movie a winning feeling.
Filled with many jokes only adults will ap
preciate, the movie also treats children to plenty
of slapstick and entertaining eye candy.
Director John Lasseter, who helmed the
past two Disney/Pixar collaborations (Toy Sto
ry, A Bug’s Life) continues to raise the bar for
computer animation. The movie’s animation is
simply amazing.
Toy Story 2 is a genuine crowd-pleaser for
people of all ages. More ambitious than its pre
decessor, this touching and hilarious movie is
an instant classic in the truest sense of the
word. (Grade: A)

End of Days
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger
and Gabriel Byrne
Directed by Peter Hyams
Schwarzenegger vs. Satan in New York
City at the end of the millennium, fighting for
the fate of the world. Does it get any bigger
than this?
Despite Arnold’s claim to the contrary. End
of Days is a rocking, wildly entertaining action
movie, complete with M-16s and an awesome
subway wreck.
What separates this film from
Schwarzenegger past movies is the depth of
his character. Jericho Crane (Schwarzenegger)
an alcoholic ex-cop contemplating suicide un
til a series of strange events leads him to
Christine York (Robin TUnney), who has been
marked by Satan worshippers to bear the An
tichrist. When the devil arrives on Earth in hu
man form as “The Man” (Byrne) and attempts
to claim his prize, Crane is theonlyn
can save Christine.
Director Hyams (Timecop, TheM:
a great job of using shadows anddait
to give this grim thriller the appropriS
ty quality.
Schwarzenegger turns in one of his::
memorable performances. Playing ai
sioned hero with a quirky sense of huitj

delivering wicked lines with a charmirii
ner. Byrne is the perfect devil — evilyeti
charming, persuasive yet commanding
TUnney is great as a woman pursue;]
Satan, and Kevin Pollack is at his wise

End of Days intelligently tackles relij
issues and in doing so, raises someintf

is a devilishly good movie. (Grade: B)
