The federal and state case filed by the family of John Comstock, one of the 27 Aggies injured in the collapse, was also dismissed under the same order. In addition to the six federal claims, there are five wrongful death lawsuits in state court. The suits were ordered to be transferred to Brazos County. A Bexar County probate judge ordered the lawsuit filed by the family of Bryan McClain, who was injured in the collapse, be moved to Brazos County as well. Probate court judges have made similar decisions in law suits filed in Tarrant County by the families of Jerry Don Self and Chad Powell, as well as the Harris County case filed by the family of Christopher Heard. Darrell Keith, an attorney representing several of the vic tims’ families, said he expects the cases will be consolidated into one district court. So far, two of the suits have not yet Johnson Continued from page 1 been transferred. Keith said he and the other attorneys are hoping for a fair trial. “Hopefully the [Aggie] com munity will not be unbiased toward [the defendants] or over ly sympathetic to A&M and the defendants,” Keith said. “If we get a fair trial, we will win.” University administrators are being hypocritical in refus ing to accept responsibility for negligence, Keith said. “A&M is spending more money investigating Bonfire than they did to make it safe,” Keith said. “They are spending mil lions on a memorial but refuse to give one cent [to the victims fam ilies] in compensation.” and Board of Regem expressed the need lorn. liberal arts priLram.

It is something faced by the whole University that we expect to address together in order to offer the most quality education available.” Although national prominence and glob alization are issues, Johnson maintains that the core responsibility of the college is to provide an excellent education at the under graduate level. “We see every student at Texas A&M,” he said. “While we pursue a national reputation, we cannot ignore the fundamentals of a qual ity undergraduate education.” There are challenges in the college as it grows, and Johnson said he has experienced this in his first year. “One of the hardest things that we have had to do is sit down and make some tough choices for some of our departments like jour nalism, speech communications, andps) ogy,” he said. “But these were good lenges, as we have had to think cres about how to improve some of our ments to better satisfy student needs, And as for Johnson’s calendar, it tinue to remain booked as the 0 responds to the new challenges growth and improvement. “I used to be able to go out andcoiy late staff when their work had beenpubN he said, grinning. “Now I send a note. their upcoi Progran with mock Iso introd md Studer Accordi iajor and < Noel c memb The Beverage Oasis grand opening Kyoto” Sushi NOW OPEN • I pc Sushi 99?!
