Burkhart of Lubbock recently
donated $500,000 to the fund.
Burkhart played for A&M
from 1953-1955. He said he
has made contributions to
many areas of the University,
including the Department of
Petroleum Engineering and
the Corps of Cadets.
“Of course I have a special
interest in athletics, but I want
A&M to be a well-rounded
school in all phases and
endeavors,” Burkhart said.
“You have to have top-flight
facilities to have top-flight
programs.”
The campaign, which has
been planned for two years and
in effect for 18 months, is one
of 1 1 athletic capital campaigns
of the Big 12 schools. Marks
said $33 million has already
been promised to the campaign.

There, Aggies live together and take classes together.
Safety is an important issue for students,
and especially parents, when thinking about
studying abroad.
Schutt said safety is an important issue for
A&M as well. The faculty are in constant contact
with the Critical Incident Team, she said. Safety is
also covered in orientation classes.

I With an increase in visibil
ity, the expectations of the
program are even higher this
year. Risa Bierman, coordina
tor of OCSS, describes some
of the new initiatives of the
program:
I “The first thing we are
doing is the door-to-door
campaign out in the duplexes
in fhe Welsh/Wellborn area to
let^people know some tips on
how to be a good neighbor
and to give them information
on some common city fines,”
Bierman said. “We are going
to be with some police offi
cers whose beats cover that
area so that they will have the
chance to meet some of the
people who live out in that
area.”
1 The residences visited on
Sept. 13 included houses and
duplexes on Antelope Lane
and Trace Meadows. A simi
lar door-to-door visit will be
held again Oct. 1 1 in the
same area.
“We have door hangers to
put on the doors of students
who are not there, and for
those who are there, we have a
little welcome bag with pens,
a magnet, candy and a flyer —
just something that says ‘It’s
nice to meet you’ and ‘Thanks
for being a good neighbor.’ ”
But residents’ reactions to
the program are mixed.
“Honestly and truthfully,
maybe it will scare someone
and maybe it will work, but I
don’t think it will - there’s too
many partiers,” said Misty
Hayes, a sophomore computer
science major. “It’s a nice ges
ture, but most people will just
blow it off because a lot of
people around here have
money and they don’t care if
you get the citations.”
But others feel that the pro
gram can do sopie good in
their community.
“I think it’s pretty cool,”
said Rob Layton, a junior
recreation, parks and tourism
sciences major. “The police
officer that came was nice and
gave us some good informa
tion. It’s a good program. I
don’t think it’s going to stop
people from having parties
and being loud, but at least
they can’t say ignorance is
their excuse now.”
Some of the information
given includes disorderly con
duct and noise violation Fines,
the first offense of which is
$300, as well as information
on alcohol offenses. The most
important change in that area
is that anyone who makes alco
hol available to minors will be
charged with a class A misde
meanor, which is just below a
felony.
Monique Youm, a junior
biomedical science major and
mother of two children, said it
is important this information
be brought to the attention of
the residents.
“‘Bee A Good Neighbor’ is
a great program,” she said.
“I’m buying this house and
it’s really important because
we have to live together with
families and students, and I
am both. I have to pay a pret
ty hefty mortgage on this
house and so I don’t appreci
ate having to wake up at 3:37
in the morning on a Thursday
night because of the noise.”
The goal of the program
will be put in action through
out the semester, with another
door-to-door campaign and a
block party Oct. 18 at
Eastgate, in Thomas Park. The
party, an effort to build the
relationship between the city,
the University and residents
of the area, will have food,
music and recreation and
allow residents to meet the
police officers and fire depart
ment officials from their area.
