registered voter in Ogden’s
district. In his publication, a
clear definition of each
amendment is listed, as well
as a positive and negative
argument for each.
“We sent a voter’s guide to
every registered voter in
District Five, and if you didn’t
receive one, we’ve got plenty
here,” Ogden said.
The senator estimates that
approximately 275,000 guides
were sent out by his office. He
added that his voter’s guide, as
well as the Texas Women’s
Voter’s Guide, can be taken
with into any voting booth to
help voters remember which
amendments they want to vote
for in the election.
Early voting will be today
and Friday from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m. Regular voting will be
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on
Tuesday, Nov. 6. There are 44
voting locations in the Brazos
Valley, with 16 sites in College
Station. There will be one vot
ing location on the A&M cam
pus in room 147 of the
Memorial Student Center. To
be able to vote, you must be a
registered voter in Brazos
County and you must bring
your voter card or valid Texas
driver’s license.
Steve Miller, assistant sports
information director, said an
organization that applies for a
media pass is granted one
depending on space availability.
Publications that “cover A&M
first” are given higher priority.
Miller said.
Aggie Review representatives
have also attended several
media luncheons at Cain Hall in
which media representatives
can eat for free on Tuesdays and
talk with players and coaches.
“Our sports editor applied
for a pass like everyone else,”
Samuelson said. “We have a
sports page because we have
people who are interested in
writing about sports and we are
lucky to have a sports editor
who is motivated and has polit
ical beliefs and is actually
doing his job.”
Media passes for events on
campus are given out on a case
by case basis, said University
Relations Deputy Director Lane
Stephenson.
“It really is as long as they
are a bona fide media represen
tative by a recognized media
organization,” Stephenson said.
In February, three Aggie
Review members attended a
lecture on the Gulf War by for
mer President George Bush, sit
ting in the reserved media sec
tion, even though a story was
never published. Tickets for the
event were free to students, but
the Memorial Student Center
Box Office quickly ran out of
tickets for the event.

“They have not come back to us with con

there are any problems, they have not gotten

In an altered time frame that hinges on when
the safety firm joins the Bonfire planning team.
Cole said the Bonfire steering committee may
decide to wait to present the plans to students until
the first two weeks of the Spring 2002 semester.
“It depends on how fast they can do their work,
once they get on board,” Cole said. “But were not

Offices, roughly 30 of the 230
employees wear gloves and
masks, Kimbrough said.
“The masks and gloves are
not mandatory,” Kimbrough
said. “But they are strongly rec
ommended.”
If there is a suspected case of
anthrax in College Station, the
College Station police and fire
departments are the first to
respond.
Lt. Dan Jones, CSPD
spokesman, said there are sever
al things done when the depart
ment receives a call about a pos
sible anthrax case.
“We first send a police offi
cer and a fire department HAZ-
MAT (hazardous material) tech
out to each incident to evaluate
the situation before making a
command decision," Jones said.
“They then evaluate the item as
‘open and exposed’ or ‘un-open
and sealed.’ ”
Jones said that if the team
finds an item, such as a letter or
package, opened or unopened
with possible contamination, the
HAZ-MAT tech would place the
item in a secure sealed bag.
They would transport that
item to a secure holding area
within the College Station Police
Department for retrieval from a
postal inspector in Houston
within 48 hours for further test
ing if the package is unopened.
“If the package is opened and
has possible contamination, the
HAZ-MAT tech is to secure
enough material for testing and
to sterilize the area with a solu
tion of water and bleach,” Jones
said. “The material collected is
