AGGIE OWNED AND OPERATED
AUSTIN (AP) — Pink, swollen
scars are still visible above the little
boy’s brow. His little sister’s scars
stretch like a spider’s legs across her
face. His father’s voice still trembles
when he talks of how his wife died
on the way to church.
When the traffic light turned red
at a Richardson intersection last
year, the world turned black for 10-
year-old Matthew Southern and his
family. A crash caused by someone
running a red light took the life of
Evelyn Southern, mother of four.
The Southern family spent Mon
day at the Capitol, telling lawmakers
its story and promoting a bill allow
ing cities to install cameras to record
the license plate numbers of those
who run red lights.
“I ask you to please put cameras
to stop drivers who pass red lights,”
the boy told the House Public Safety
Committee, which approved the bill
in a 7-2 vote. It now heads to the full
House for consideration.
“This bill would put the conse
quences in the back of people’s
minds,” said Joe Southern, the boy’s
father. “They would think twice
about trying to beat that red light.”
Under the bill by Rep. Joe Driver,
R-Garland, cameras could only snap
images of vehicles, not drivers. The
vehicle owner would be sent a civil
citation, much like a parking ticket,
which could not exceed $75 for the
first or second offense or $200 for
third and subsequent offenses in a 12-
month period.
The bill passed committee but
ran into a buzz saw on the House
floor last session, where critics ar
gued that cameras would invade
drivers’ privacy.
“We could have a very, very safe
place to live,” said Rep. Carl Isett,
R-Lubbock, who voted against the
bill. “But it would be a place with no
liberty.”
Driver disagreed, saying that
cameras would only photograph
motorists who cross intersections il
legally.
Prosecutors said rdij

the theory down,” he said.
In some instances, a lack of university support causes
students’ interest in filmmaking to look elsewhere for that
support. Filmmaking requires not only emotional in
volvement and creativity, but also financial investment.
Typically, a feature-length film on 16mm costs a min
imum of $50,000. To shave production costs, many
young filmmakers enroll at universities that have equip
ment available to them.
Sarah Minter, a senior philosophy and radio television
film major at the University of Texas, said, “Well, it was a
big decision, but in the end, I couldn't pass up transferring
from A&M to UT. The program for filmmakers here at UT
is far superior to A&M in the area of production. UT has
the facilities and equipment that A&M doesn’t have.
“Hopefully, someday A&M will have a production de
partment as advanced as UT. Don’t you all have a place
for that in that Vision 2020 thing?”
Regardless of whether A&M’s facilities are top of
the line, aspiring filmmakers are still trying to make
films here.
“The thing is man, if you love it, nothing can stop you,
not money, facilities,” Sully said. “Nothing can stop you
if you love it enough.”

characters gang up on the other. Each
person gets his time in the hot seat.
“Each character has his own opin
ions of what constitutes ‘good art,’
and the painting is the catalyst for
pent-up feelings between the men to
come out,” Santos said.
Neagle said, “This show is about
relationships, and how this painting
reflects what makes each man
‘tick.’ ”
The painting, and the play itself,
echoes modernist views on decon
struction and minimalism — shed
ding excess fluff down to the bare es
sentials of expression. The relation
ships between the men are examined,
but through this process, the charac
ters see the true characters of their
friends and are able to put aside their
differences.

although the college of liberal arts requires three hours of
international cultures.
In order for liberal arts majors to be more successful
abroad, a larger focus on the global community may be
necessary, Hannigan said.
“Without a doubt, we need more international studies
[at A&M],” he said.
Hannigan said that, for graduates, with ambitions to
the reach the top of the corporate ladder, international ex
perience is a must.
“If you want to do more business or technical work in
the world, you need international experience,” he said.
“The top executives of major U.S. corporations have in
ternational experience. It’s something that boards of di
rectors look at.”
