include sheriff, county tax assessor-
collector, county attorney and county
commissioner. Two people are run
ning for sheriff, three for county tax
assessor-collector, one for county at
torney and two for county commis
sioner. Other official positions to be
filled within Brazos County are listed
on the ballot. Only the citizens from
the precincts affected by the outcome
are allowed to vote for the candidates.
The outcome of all of these positions
will be decided Tuesday when polling
offices close at 7 p.m.
Three propositions will also be on
the ballot. The first, a special bond
election, proposes a $18.5 million
bond to build a new coliseum for
Brazos County.
Susan Gandry, assistant to the
county judge, said that this type of fa
cility is needed in Brazos County be
cause the communities have out
grown the current convention centers.
“Reed Arena is property of Texas
A&M and is often too expensive to
rent out or is unavailable when need
ed because its first priority is to the
University,” Gandry said.
The idea to build such a facility
has been studied in the Brazos Valley
three times.
“Now we just have to see if the
citizens of Brazos County are willing
to pay for the facility, despite the fact
that they promoted such an idea each
time it was mentioned,” said Gandry.
The facility would be used to host
a variety of public events, such as
rodeos, home and garden shows, an
tique shows, and animal shows, just
to name a few. Gandry said the coun
ty has also been contacted concerning
whether the new coliseum could fa
cilitate an ice hockey team or league.
“It is unknown at this point if such
an endeavor to host an ice hockey fa
cility will be undertaken. It is too ear
ly to say and we have not considered
this possibility wholeheartedly yet,”
Gandry said.

Elections
Continued from Page 1
Another Senate race gaining attention is in Missouri,
where the popular Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan leads
polls by as much as 5 points over incumbent Sen. John
Ashton. The problem — Carnahan died in a plane crash
two weeks ago. Because it is too late for him to be re
placed by another candidate, the late governor remains
on the ballot. His wife, Jean Carnahan, said she will fill
his seat if he is elected.
Two key states that could keep Republicans in control
of the Senate are Nevada and Virginia. Democrats hold
the seats, but Republican candidates lead polls there. Cur
rently, Republicans hold 54 seats out of 100 and are de
fending 19 out of the 34 up for grabs.
“There is a possibility that the Democrats could cap
ture the house,” said political science professor Dr. Kim
Hill. “There is a possit

After driving 56 yards on 10
plays, the ’Pokes were ready for
the upset. With first-and-10 on
the Aggie 15, OSU went for the
end zone through the air three
straight plays.
On fourth-and-10, OSU tried
for 6 once more but came up
short on a controversial out-of-
bounds call with 37 seconds left.
Slocum said later that, while
he expected a tough game from
the Cowboys, he did not expect
it to be as tough as it was.
“We were very fortunate to
win this game,” Slocum said. “1
