This way everyone will get a little better feel of how PTTS is run.” Hogg said that though students will be working with PTTS, they will not be able to erase tickets. "When [the students] fill in, [theyl will actually be running everything,” Hogg said. "They will know the ser vices that go on and everything that occurs in PTTS such as permit issues, garage allocation and how PTTS jus tifies everything they do.” This is the first year senators have worked in the PTTS offices.

Students are given a weekly re port of damages charged to their deposit. The College Station Fire Depart ment is currently not penalizing the University or individual dorms for false alarms.

Both sides acknowledged that talking peace was becoming unten able with a full-scale war being waged in the streets. In an urgent bid to restore calm, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright announced she would meet Wednesday in Paris with Israeli Prime Minister Fluid Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The two sides "must find a way... to end the current psychology of con frontation and begin to restore the psychology of peacemaking,” Al bright said hi a statement Tuesday. Even as pleas for restraint poured in from around the world, the climb ing casualty count fueled Palestinian fury and spurred revenge attacks against Israeli civilians, particularly Jewish settlers. On the road to the Jewish settle ment of Ariel in the West Bank, a 24- year-old Israeli was shot and killed — reportedly when he stopped to change a tire. A school bus on its way to the Jewish settlement of Shiloh came un der fire, but no one was injured. Fighting also boiled over into Arab towns in Israel proper, rattling the nerves of Israelis who have long feared an intefadeh. or uprising, by Arab citizens of the Jewish state. Eight Israeli Arabs were killed in Monday's clashes alone. Police and Arab rioters fought a three-hour battle in the alleyways of the Israeli town of Akko.
