O 2000 TIAA-CREF 1/00. How Does a $7 fee increase benefit TAMU students? Students will be voting Mar. 29 & 30 on whether to increase the Recreational Sports Fee. The Department of Recreational Sports and Student Government leaders have recommended a net $7 increase. The increase will preserve what Aggies have now. Specifically, the Rec Center and Department of Recreational Sports programs will be maintained and operated in the same high quality and accessible manner that they are today. The Department will be able to replace old equipment and keep it in good working order. The Rec Center will con tinue to be open from early morning to late evening, and will be able to continue to offer the programs and services students have come to expect and enjoy. A vote of "yes" will ensure that future Aggies have the same opportunity to recreate, socialize and be exposed to a healthy lifestyle in well-maintained and beautiful surroundings.

In this version the two brothers, Perry and Patrick, along with their sister, Portia, acquire an inheri tance from their mother, Penelope. With their $1,500 dollars each, the three pigs are to find good, safe homes for themselves.
