Mike Sinders, one of the attorneys for the de
fendants, declined to comment. Chapa is now in
law school at St. Mary’s University in San Anto
nio and Boyd is attending college in Michigan.
Neither Chapa nor Boyd were available for
comment.
Brazos County Attorney James Kuboviak said
it could be difficult to pursue the case nearly four
years after the alleged hazing. Sinders contacted
Kuboviak on Wednesday, but no further decisions
will be made until the two attorneys talk again next
week.
“I’ve got to see if I can get all my witnesses to
gether to see if we can pursue this,” Kuboviak said.

rently have a fourth-grader who is working on algebra with a
school volunteer.”
McFarland said this allows the students who are ahead to
remain challenged while the teacher can work with the class.
Each week, more than 1,800 students volunteer for the Bryan
Helping One Student at a Time (HOST) program. The HOST
program began in the 1992-’93 school year on two campuses
and has since spread to nine. Two of the campuses now use
bilingual volunteers to work with Spanish-speaking students.
Williams said that, since her son has received tutoring, he
has excelled both academically and emotionally. She said she
hopes that all students who need tutoring can receive it and that
she appreciates all the time and effort A&M students devote to
helping area schoolchildren.
