Students pressed concern that allowing only American lags to be flown would create an exclusionary lyjronment and nullify campus claims of versity. Other RHA members countered with argu- icnts that the American flag takes precedent er others within U.S. borders and that those other nationalities could seek permission to mg their flags on an individual basis. Chris Bernard, a presenter of the resolution, lid that the proposal did not infringe upon the st Amendment. Though the original vote was tied, with arrera casting a deciding vote in favor, the issue was revisited at the end of the meeting. The officers ruled that in the first vote, proxies — votes filed by a member on behalf of an absent delegate — were miscounted. The asso ciation took two additional votes to decide the matter. Delegates were instructed to vote as they had before so that a recount could be taken. Both votes were 30 in favor and 33 against, with two abstentions. It was decided by RHA executives that the original vote had been miscounted and the second and third ones were the actual deci sion of the council. In other business, RHA approved a resolu tion to recommend that the Department of Residence Life allow T.O. Walton Hall 24-hour visitation on a trial period, with a final decision on the implementation expected at the end of the semester. iPN Continued from Page 1A the shows after they are all impleted. “ESPN decided that it was portant to go ahead and ow these as they were ped."

Hi Is. including ft ^d in Floridi Cast members were selected rough auditions in July. Eric Bethea, a junior nance major, was featured in ie first A&M “Sidelines” pisode last Thursday. The 'nil show centered on Mea's work with the Red, 4nd Blue Out organ ised for the Sept. 22 A&M- Oklahoma State University game to honor victims of the Sept. I l terrorist attacks. “It wasn’t too invasive,” Bethea said. “At the beginning, it was really weird to have cameras all around. But l was surprised at how quick it became second nature to have them following us.” Bethea said he has already heard feedback from students concerning the first show. “A lot of people are saying that they don’t think the char acters in the first show were really like the majority of A&M students,” Bethea said. “When all 12 of us are intro duced today, then I think viewers will see that we all are pretty representative of the university.” Sidelines producers called Emma Bosnyak, a freshman animal science major, a week before her Fish Camp session this summer, and asked if they could follow her around with cameras. “They wanted freshmen in it, but obviously none tried out during the summer,” Bosnyak said.” They were fol lowing four other girls and myself around at Fish Camp. They told us later it was just kind of like a rehearsal for the real thing. Then they asked me if l wanted to be on the show.” On ESPN’s Website, www.espn.com, Bosnyak’s biography mentions a boyfriend that attends the University of Texas. Before filming began, she broke up with her boyfriend and has had to face dating someone new — on camera. “At first, I didn’t want to talk about it or have in on the camera,” Bosnyak said. “Now I’m dating someone else, and it’s a little weird. We met with cameras there, and the majority of our dates have been with cameras around.” Bosnyak said she has not changed her behavior or the activities she takes part in since the filming began. “I called by mom and told her not to worry when she saw me at parties and things,” Bosnyak said. “I haven’t changed anything for the cam eras. It’s all real relaxed.” The second episode of “Sidelines” will air tonight at l l p.m. on ESPN. UK IN NUT « * !'! ■ ‘ X ON SALE NOW :00 A.M.!
