The recent appearance of a mascot
fct Texas A&M games has caused con
fusion among tradition-oriented Aggie
fans.
"By no means is it a representation ,
of the University or the Athletic De
partment," said Rob Stewart, admin
istrative assistant of promotions and
operations.
The character is part of a sponsor
ship agreement between the Athletic
Department and Hershe/s Chocolate.
The character, Hershey's High Five,
can be best described as a Sesame
Street-like character.
"You know it's something, but you
aren't quite sure what that is," said
Stewart, adding that High Five is sup
posed to allow for more interaction
with fans.
"It is a game character used by Her
shey's as a promotional tool."
Stewart said the character has been
well received, especially by younger
Aggie fans. High Five hands out
chocolate before and during games
and leads contests during halftime. The
character appears at soccer and volley
ball games and will also appear at bas-
Battauon ketball, baseball and softball events.

Long said that although the College Republicans
will travel to Arkansas and Louisiana to campaign,
they will do little campaigning on the A&M campus.
Tommy Hoar, president of Aggies for Gore,
said that the organization had become virtually in
active. He said the Texas Aggie Democrats,*'
have been working in conjunction with Aggies: ji
Gore, have also decided to limit their campaiejff
ing activities due to the unlikelihood of Gorei
feating Bush in Texas.
“We really aren’t doing anything because!

Halloween
Continued from Page 1
Blinn College is offering free X-
rays of candy from 6 to 9 p.m. at 301
Post Office Street.
“We X-ray for foreign metallic
bodies,” said Elia Flores, program di
rector of Blinn. “In the 10 years that
we have done this, we have yet to
find anything more than staples from
candy wrappers, but it is definitely a
good precautionary measure to take.”
Sgt. Dan Jones, public relations
officer for the College Station Po
lice Department, said that he ex
pects the night to be calm and with
out worries.
“The big nights around here are
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
night. We are not really planning on
anything really being bad,” he said.
“The celebration and excitement
this weekend was because of the
Kansas State game and was not be
cause of Halloween. In the past, in
crease [in violations] occurred if
Halloween fell on a weekend. Now
that there are many alternatives for
Halloween, such as haunted houses
and parties, we are not expecting
anything out of the ordinary.”
