Several Bryan-College Station
Eagle newspaper racks were
broken into between 10 p.m,
Thursday and 3 a.m. Friday,Col
lege Station Police Departmen:
(CSPD) officers said.
Twenty-one machines were
opened on University Drive,
Texas Avenue, South College Av
enue, Church Street and George
Bush Drive. Lorenzo Vigilante
circulation director for The Eagle
said an estimated $500 to
$700 was taken. Vigilante sal
the thief did not damage theme
chines and “obviously has ate
[to the stands] because the
have specialized locks."
Vigilante said The Eagle use;
an independent contractor to de
liver papers to more than-Kl
newsstands in the area where
the machines were burglarize:
Vigilante said a person couldc-
tain a key through var'ae
means, including taking am}
chine’s lock to a locksmith.
CSPD Sgt. Greg Leeth said
is uncommon for that manycc
operated machines to be t»
glarized at once. Leeth said
dividual car-wash and so;:
machines are often robbed,
“to have that many machine
broken into in one night is rare
Police have no suspects a-;
the incident is still under invee

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.

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.”
