The records of a constable office that is declared dormant will be transferred to the county clerk. If the office is declared donnant, the previous office holder does not continue to hold the office. The office may not be filled by election or appointment unless the commissioners court votes to reinstate the office or a majority of votes cast in an election held on the issue favor reinstatement. The reinstatement election may be held if the commissioners court on its own motion orders such an elec tion, or the reinstatement election must be held if the commissioners court receives a petition signed by 10% of the registered voters of the constable precinct. The proposition will appear on the ballot as follows: "The constitutional amendment authorizing the commissioners court of a county to declare the office of constable in a precinct to be dormant if the office has not been filled by election or appointment for a lengthy period and providing a procedure for the reinstatement of the office.

We can empathize with them at this level and 1 hope that people would get that out of their experience with the planned events.” The Texas A&M community will have the opportunity to participate in several events throughout the day. At 10:30 a.m. the Corps of Cadets will hold a “Celebration of Freedom and Service” ceremony where Lt. General John A. Van Alystyne, former director of the Pentagon Family Assistance Center and incoming Corps Commandant, will speak. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. the Memorial Student Center (MSC) Town Hall will hold an “Open Mic” program for students who wish to express their feelings about Sept. 11 through written music, poetry and more. “We knew that there was going to be a campus response to Sept. 1 I,” said Barry Hammond, MSC Council President and sen ior finance major said. “The MSC w ill help to host all the events, everything is being done in a co-operative effort.” At 5:30 p.m.. University and community members will gather at the Academic Plaza for the traditional Hag lowering ceremony conducted by Company A-2 of the Corps of Cadets. “The Hag lowering ceremony is our time to come together as an Aggie family and as a community” Coventry said. “It is my hope that this would be a time for us to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11 and remember all those men and women who lent a helping hand in the rescue efforts." After a special flag ceremony, partici pants will hear from student leaders and fac ulty, there will be students may take which starts at 6:3 up old main drivt and end at Simps* “We're really p Hammond said, *' dent response to support in the wall Participants wd ers and administn will perform. moment of silence.fe part in a Unity Mr p.m. The march »i8j around Albritton tc- Drill Field, diing tlx* l nitv Mr 's the most visible * how campus unity b of Sept. 11." hear from campus lei us and tlx* Amk Ba F oikm ■mg i the Uni t\ March, the ctw niVy can ] parti Clp.l itc i n an Interfatfh fcf Sen.' tee 'here se\ era 1 members of tlif* pus I minis teria 1 all iaru .e. representing*® eiy c if reli gion S.
