DALLAS (AP) — Fewer people are
expected to travel over Thanksgiving this year,
and those who do are more likely to drive, as
Americans worry about airplane security and
give thanks for lower gasoline prices.
Air travel is expected to fall at least 15 per
cent from a year ago as airlines struggle with a
weak economy and fear after the Sept. 11 ter
rorist attacks and a fatal jetliner crash last week.
Some travelers admitted to being scared,
but decided to fly anyway. Fourteen-year-old
Katie Blakeney went ahead with a trip from
Dallas to visit family in Tulsa, Okla.
“She said she wasn't going to let terror
ists ruin her life,” said her mother, Tracy,
seeing Katie off at Love Field on Monday.
“She was going to keep traveling. We are
not stopping our lives.”
The American Automobile Association
(AAA) estimated that 34.6 million Americans
will travel at least 50 miles from home, a 6
percent decline from last year. A record 87
percent will drive, and the number taking air
planes, trains and buses will drop 27 percent
due to a decline in air travel, AAA said.
Rose Rougeau, a spokeswoman for the AAA
of Texas, said the rush to the highways will be a
combination of air fright and low gasoline prices
— under $1 per gallon in some places.
Greyhound Bus Lines reports a 20 per
cent surge in advance-purchase tickets and
an increase in trips longer than 1,000 miles.
“This makes us think we're pick;
travelers from the airlines,” said
woman Kristin Parsley. ,

if they occur, Clarke said.
The focus will be on livestock, crops,
food processing and transport.
“We will research every opportunity
for the introduction of harmful materials
to the food supply,” Clarke said.
Naturally occurring biological out
breaks, such as foot-and-mouth disease,
are as relevant as intentional attacks like
those in Japanese subways, Clarke said.
Congressional funds are being sought
for the institute, as well as federal intelli
gence information that may help with
research efforts.
“It is possible for a university to get
classified intelligence information, but it
is not too common,” Clarke said. “Long
term, we hope to develop whole new
ways of thinking of how things could be
introduced and detected.”
Plans include development of DNA
monitoring and diagnosis tools, biotech
nology, vaccines, satellite imagery and
ground-based monitoring systems in
areas of concentrated agriculture.
Clarke emphasized that the technology
must be affordable for the agricultural
community.
A&M has already been involved with
researching countermeasures against bio
logical weapons and the protection of
soldiers against chemical attacks.
Research to create animal resistance to
naturally occurring diseases is granted
SIO million per year at A&M.Cm

research to bioterrorism.

The Aggies came out of the
gates with confidence, jumping
out to a 20-9 lead with 13:43 left

Leatherman and sophomore
guard Bradley Jackson.
The Colonials managed to cut
the lead to six at 28-22 on a bas
ket by Chris Monroe with 6:32
left in the half. It was as close as
they would get to A&M as the
Aggies pulled aw'ay, raising their
lead to 14 points before going
into halftime wi th a 43-32 lead.
A&M came out with the same
intensity in the second half,
pushing its lead to 17 points at
56-39 on a three-point play by
junior guard Brian Brookhart,
who led the team with nine re
bounds, with 14:35 left to play.
George Washington attempt
ed to get back into the game, go
ing on a 9-1 run to pull within
nine points at 57-48 on a bucket
by Albert Roma wfith 1 1:35 left
in the game.
Instead of turning to King to
stop the run. the Aggies were put
on their shoulders oy someone
else: .Anderson.
Anderson, who also pulled
down five rebounds, scored the
next seven points for the Aggies
on a 3-pointer and four free
throws to push the lead to 64-
48 with 10:03 remaining, effec
tively ending George YVashing-
ton’s chances.
“I got a little mad at myself,”
Anderson said. “I was fouling too
much so I wanted to get every re
bound and try and do something.”

Aggies last season weretq
