Twenty-one machines were opened on University Drive, Texas Avenue, South College Av enue, Church Street and George Bush Drive.

Bush Continued fromPif PARADE Continued from Page l said they could hear large numbers of Texans cheering them on. “I saw lots of Aggies, and heard ‘Gig ’em’ from all over,” Baird said. Jhe Aggie Band is known for its pfeyision, which requires a great deal of concentration. The concen tration was somewhat broken as the band passed the presidential re viewing stand in front of grinning President Bush and former Presi dent Bush. “Powerful band,” the former pres ident said to his son. As the former and current presi dents watched the band pass by, many band members stole a glance back. “When we got to the stand, pretty much everybody looked,” Fritzler said. He added that he gave a “Gig ’em” sign to the president, which the Bushes returned. Baird, who was playing tenor sax ophone on the outside of the line, said the highlight of the trip was being in the parade — 10 feet from President Bush and former President Bush. As the band marched away from the reviewing stand, it continued to play the “Aggie War Hymn.” Al though half-empty because of the cold downpour, the bleachers of the reviewing stand began to sway as the Aggies sawed varsity’s horns off. Cabinet members are in place. In a 15-minute inaugural add Bush thanked Gore for“acoi conducted with spirit and ended grace.” Pledging to work forrea ciliation. Bush said, “Sometime; differences run so deep it seem- share a continent but notacoun: “We do not accept this am not allow' it,” Bush declared, unity, our union, is the serious of leaders and citizens in even ;! eration. And this is my sole pledge: I will work to buildm nation of justice and opportumti His promise brought a burst of plause from spectators. Mond; c: < Protest Cotitinued from Pa- Ball Continued from Page 1 acts included ZZ Top, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker and the Beach Boys. In the eyes of many, however, A&M’s Ross Volunteers, decked out in their white dress uni forms, caused just as much of a stir by serving as offi cial greeters. Joe Muller, Class of ‘48, and his wife, Patty, voiced the sentiments of many guests, saying the Ross Volun teers represented Texas “in a grand fashion.” “We’re really proud of the Ross Volunteers,” Muller said. Kyle Easley, a Ross Volunteer and a senior biomed ical science major, noted the attention that he and his fel low Volunteers received from many ladies. He laughed, saying, “It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.” “It’s an opportunity of a lifetime.... We’re hanging out with people we shouldn’t,” Basely said. Jonathan Hulls, a junior journalism major, said the ball was “absolutely amazing.” “I’ve seen more varieties of people than I’ve seen in my whole life,” he said. A&M football coach R.C. Slocum stopped in Wash ington to attend the ball before heading to New York City for a Nike-sponsored coaches clinic. He said he was hap py to see A&M’s presence. “It’s a special day for Texas,” Slocum said. “I’m very proud of Texas A&M, our band and the Ross Volunteers.” Looking over the the assembled crowd outside the main ballroom as President Bush spoke, Slocum said, “It looks like a pretty good A&M event.” Florida.
