but Bowie Hogg, the executive direc
tor of programming for the Student
Senate and a senior marketing major,
said the Student Senate hopes this in
sight will allow the student leaders to
improve communications between
the two.
“The idea came up in executive
council that it would be a good idea if
executive council and some student
senators took over PTTS so we could
see exactly what PTTS did and how
that office was run,” he said. “So that,
when we are representing the student
body, we can show why they made
this decision or that decision. 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.

progress in keeping the number of
alarms down in the last couple of
years.” Humphreys said. “We’ve
had years of close to 400 and 500
alarms.”
When an alarm goes off, a su
pervisor from the Physical Plant
goes to the residence hall to assess
the damages or any cleaning that
might be needed.
“Damages to dorms are divided
among residents on individual floors,
and charges come from a fixed
charge list,” Mizer said.
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.
Residence halls have fire evac
uation drills once a semester after
the Nov. 2, 1999, fire at Dorm 9,
which was closed until the follow
ing semester.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP)
— Israeli troops rolled out tanks in
a show of force and sent helicopter
gunships aloft Monday to battle
Palestinians wielding rocks and au
tomatic rifles, as riots raged through
the West Bank and Gaza Strip, leav
ing scarcely a Palestinian town or
village untouched.
* The spiraling violence, now in its
fifth day, has killed at least 51 people
and injured more than 1,000, nearly
all the casualties Palestinian, and left
hopes for a Mideast peace accord in
tatters. 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. Rioters
