The Circle of Peace Sculpture Gar dens will be incorporated into part of the adjoining Sandy Creek Park. Several designs will be submitted to the residents of Jasper on Nov. 19.

The answer for students who feel the same is Bartschmid’s petition, he said. The current figures for the number of signatures come from the signed petitions that Bartschmid has collect ed. The petition is also circulating through residence halls on campus and is in the hands of supportive alumni, she said, making the total amount of signatures as yet unknown. This week, tables have been set up in the breezeway outside the Memori al Student Center (MSC) and in the lob bies of the Wehner and Zachry build ings. When Bartschmid and her sible and will help them determine what they will get out of it,” Mur phy said. Naderi said the Circle of Peace project will help Jasper residents re member the good things about the town. The students submitting designs for the Circle of Peace gardens said they all share positive hopes for the community, regardless of what de sign is chosen. “I want [the Circle of Peace] to bring back community togetherness and economic vitality,” said Allison Walkoviak, a senior landscape archi tecture major. Her design, as well as several oth ers, focuses on educating and in volving children in the community. “The focus is on the children,” said Brad Jennings, a senior land scape architecture major. “Change occurs within, not from the outside. We hope to accomplish that with this focus.” Murphy said the Circle of Peace Sculpture Gardens will be construct ed in two phases. If the sculpture gar dens do well after construction, the proposed amphitheater will be con structed on adjoining land. The private organization running the project has raised about $250,000 in capital, materials and available la bor. Murphy said that, during the de sign phase, the organization con tracted with A&M to pay fori materials and other project-related expenses incurred by the students. “This will be an opportunity to re focus the community and create a new, positive community relation ship and help them get out of this long nightmare,” Murphy said.

What’s the tradition in that?” Bartschmid plans to present the pe tition to University administration in the spring. Train ! Paid Advertisement Thinking people believe in God The ancient Greeks believed in the mythical gods, but their greatest thinkers, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle believed in One God. Consider how re markable that is ! They believed in One God because it is so reasonable. Are you interested in getting to know God? He loves all persons. He loves you and me. Almost 2000 years ago, he sent his son Jesus Christ into the world to die on the cross for our wrongdoings and sins and re turn to life through the miracle of the resurrection. God’s plan for each of us is that we turn away from our sins and believe in Christ. When we do this, God forgives us and gives us fellowship and eternal life with himself. You can be come a Christian right now wherever you are. Tell God that you are sorry for your sins and that you here and now accept Christ as your Savior and Lord. As soon as you have received Christ, you may be sure that he has forgiven you of every sin and has given you eternal life. You may be sure that God will lead you by his spirit in the way that is good and right. Make friends with other Christians. Meet with them for worship, prayer, and Bible study. Make a habit of reading the Bible. Start with the gospel of John. And may God bless you!

It has also provided UPD with a company two- way radio so UPD will have direct communication with Union Pacific if a train does stop for an emergency. Union Pacific is considering hav ing a “repeater” signal installed for northbound train traffic so the trains can stop before they get to the southernmost crossing at George Bush Drive, if Union Pacific knows it will be necessary to stop beforehand. A&M will seek funding to build a 6-foot, 8-inch chain-link fence on A&M property along Wellborn Road to prevent trespassing and will work to develop a comprehensive plan for crossing and trespass safety educa tion, which would include an annual crossing-safety week on campus.
