Corbelli said the team will have to be careful in the rest of its road matches because of the differ ence in crowds at away games. “At Iowa State, there will be no one in the stands,” she said. “We have to learn how to create our own energy.” Nationally, the Aggies rank sec ond in the nation in assist average (16.90), third in kill average (18.72) and seventh in dig average (19.66). The Aggies are 1-4 against ranked teams this season. Last year, the Aggies went 9-4 against ranked opponents.

Early Calls Continued from Page 1 of the First Amendment,” Tauzin told reporters. “The intent is to find out what went wrong in this system.” Tauzin said a depressed voter turnout in the West may have had an impact on the House races in Cali fornia that Republicans lost arid on the national popular presidential vote that went for Gore. Under a 1985 agreement, the networks have usually held off us ing voter exit polls to call elections until most polls are closed in a giv en state. Tauzin said the investiga tion may determine that “a new agreement” on use of this data is necessary, but he said there would be no effort to restrict its use with federal legislation. Football Continued from Page 1 Baylor Bears last week, a game they easily won, 56-7. They got a chance to rest their first string, par ticularly their Heisman hopeful, Josh Heupel, throughout the entire second half. Even with the missed half, He upel racked up 313 passing yards, 21 of 29 attempts and three touch downs. He set an OU record in the process and became the Sooners’- all-time leader in pass attempts with 773 attempts. With the performance, Heupel is now leading the nation’s highest scoring offense, putting an average of 45.9 points per game on the scoreboard. OU also brings in the nation’s sixth best team offense and the sec ond best passing offense in the country. Defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz said the Oklahoma of fense should pose the biggest chal lenge the Aggies have faced so far this season. “It’s unrealistic to think you’re going to stop every pass [OU] throw, but at some point, you’ve got to play to get them stopped,” Han kwitz said. “This is a challenge to “We should not try to pass laws about how people report elections,” he said. While officials at the TV net works said they had not received the letter, several said they were already looking into how the Florida pro jections went awry. “We are conducting a top-to- bottom review of our election night projections to establish exactly what happened,” said ABC News spokesman Jeff Schneider. “We will take whatever steps necessary to ensure this doesn’t happen again.” NBC News spokeswoman Bar bara Levin said the network is “very concerned about the VNS data and believe the Florida call warrants a careful examination. We will work to get to the bottom of it.” Friday, Novembei mr' Pri stop a team like this, but that you play for.

Society. ’ ,y. || Mere turns tar queue, t To> He Guarded The Aggie Ring Like It Was His Own While serving as Marine lieutenant in Vii never wore my Aggie Ring out on patrol. I couldn't stand the thought of my Ring becoming a trophy for an enemy soldier. Everyone in our unit knew how much my Aggie Ring meant to me. When I was wounded, I saw quickly and clear ly just how much my fellow Marines respected the Aggie Spirit. As soon as word came over the com pany radio that I had been hit, my gunnery ser geant, Sgt. Ulch, went straight to my hooch, found my Aggie Ring and slipped it on his finger. He knew how important it was to me, and felt that by wearing my Ring, it would somehow will me to live. Whether or not that act of faith had anything to do with my recovery is anybody's guess. As it turned out, my wounds were not life threatening. I remember thinking how powerful the Aggie Spirit is, that someone like Sgt. Ulch, who wasn't even an Aggie, could understand it.
