On Thursday, Friday and Satur
day nights, officers of the task
force patrol the perimeter of cam
pus and concentrate on Northgate,
where students are moments away
from countless opportunities for
trouble.
“This past weekend, we handed
out about 210 citations for minors
in possession (MIP) and public in
toxication (PI),” said Bob Wiatt, di
rector of security and University
police.
“We’re going to do this for the
next six home football games.
These are serious offenses, (result
ing in) fines up to $500 and parent
notification.”
Students presented with citations
for alcohol violations are required
to sign an agreement to appear be
fore a judge and must comply with
officers’ requests for identification.
Citations for providing minors
with alcohol, however, are far more
entirely out of the question, just
something new to introduce to the
Aggie community,” Thompson said.
Forrest Lane, student body pres
ident and a senior political science
major, said A&M yells are a vital
asset for every football game.
“Over the years, yells have come
and gone,” he said. “But through
out, yells continue to serve the same
purpose they always have ... sup
porting the 12th Man and athletic
events at A&M, and, overall, adding
school spirit to football games.
“I see the new change to 'Old
Army* as improving a yell and
making it of use to the student
body,” he said.
Both Wood and Thompson said
whether or not the yell will be used for
Saturday's game is still in question.

“Anyone supplying minors with
alcohol is immediately arrested,”
Wiatt said.
“Even if it is just a senior buying
a drink for his 20-year-old friend, he
is held responsible.”
Aggie Moms’ Clubs,” Boettcher
said. “1 sell a tremendous number
of books to them and 1 donate a por

Moms for scholarships. In the last
four years I’ve given $40,000
through the sale of my books.”

Boettcher’s fourth children’s book.

Cray said the spirit of giving can
also be seen in the many works of
art donated by alumni to the art gal
leries housed in the MSC.
Jane Bailey, assistailt to the di
rector for MSC student programs
said each committee picked i

“Programs can be anything ua

The SEC said the Web page,
www.houstontexans-nfl.com,
failed to disclose that its owner,
Edgar A. Guilbeau, and his com
pany, Houston Texans NFL Foot
ball Team Holding Co., are not af
filiated with the NFL or the new
Houston franchise, the Houston
Chronicle reported Thursday's.
The SEC said Guilbeau’s site
also did not disclose that the stock
offering is not registered with the
SEC and created the illusion that
Guilbeau’s company was prosper
ous by listing a prosperous Hous
ton address.
On Wednesday the FBI issued
a search warrant for Guilbeau’s
Houston residence. FBI
spokesman Bob Doguim told the
Chronicle that details of the
search were not released because
it was a sealed affidavit.
Guilbeau. who registered the
company name with the Texas Sec
retary of State's office last spring,
and filed twice for Chapter 7 bank
ruptcy in the 1990s, could not be
reached for comment early Thursday
