the creation of a sculpture garden and
amphitheater for community events.
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 residents will then select the fi

Bonfire are not enough. 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.

Even freshmen, who have realized
that the tradition that has helped shape
many upperclassmen, feel there needs
to be a change in Bowen’s recommen
dations before the next time any stu
dents see Bonfire burn.
“The petition speaks well for us,”
said Brett Campbell, a freshman busi
ness major who signed the petition
outside the MSC Thursday. “It’s not
going to be the same looking up and
seeing a teepee Bonfire that was not
built by Aggies. What’s the tradition
in that?”
Bartschmid plans to present the pe
tition to University administration in
the spring.

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!

them, as it is to us, because it is such a safety hazard,” she said. “Num
ber one, it is trespassing, and number two, it is dangerous because when
a train starts up, it jerks about a car length and you could easily be rolled
over.”
According to the agreement, Union Pacific will not allow trains to
block the three crossings on campus unless there is an emergency re
quiring the train to stop. 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.
