The fee is designed to cover costs and also keep people inter ested in playing, Meyer said. “It is really frustrating in free leagues when half the people in your league start losing and just give up,” Meyer said. “If we require that people pay some thing, it gives them a reason to keep following their team.” Fantasy football is scored using the previous weekends’ NFL statistics. For the Rec Sports intramural, each fantasy player picks 14 NFL players to make up his team during an in- person “draft" run by a Rec Sports representative. Each week before any NFL games are played, the fantasy player chooses eight players, two run ning backs, three receivers, a quarterback, a kicker and an NFL team’s defense to play that week verses another fantasy player within his or her league. Points are awarded for various statistics which NFL players accomplished during their games. The 40 intramural partici pants are divided randomly into four leagues of 10. Tim Flynn, a senior political science major and fantasy football enthusiast with 10 teams, said the competition and trash talking drew him to fantasy football. “My roommate got me start ed in his league three years ago and l really liked how competi tive it was,” Rynn said. Fantasy Football is offered as a Rec Sports Intramural even though it is not a physical game because it is sports related and it is a good place to organize intramurals. Meyer said. Meyer said golf and NASCAR could be in the future. “I would argue tk the public interest to o with it (private dor.

Funds Continued from page 1 for homeland security research. Instead, Gramm said the federal government will dole out funds to various research institutions to focus on their area of expertise. For example, schools with established expertise on animal diseases, such as A&M, Colorado State University and the University of California at Davis, would have a natural advantage in securing bio-ter rorism research funds. But other schools may be more qualified to handle electronic security and other aspects of homeland defense. “Merit, not politicians, will decide who gets research money,” Gramm said. A&M System Deputy Chancellor Jerry Gaston, who accompanied Gramm on the tour, said the University’s goal is to secure more funding for its research, and not necessarily to be designated a national research center for homeland security. “A&M is involved in a variety of research enter prises that have practical applications, and that will make us extremely competitive [for homeland secu rity research funds],’’ Gaston said. Gramm discussed proposed military action in Iraq, saying he would support a congressional reso lution authorizing President Bush to use force it necessary to topple Saddam Hussein. Some Senate Democrats want a resolution that will support military action only under the auspices of the U.N., but Gramm was confident the effort would be defeated. Iraq’s development of weapons of mass destruction constitutes a clear threat to national security, Gramm said, and America does not need U.N. permission to protect itself. “In the end, we can and will go it alone if we have to,” Gramm said. “I know the president well, and it will happen.” The homeland security hill is still bogged down in Congress, Gramm said, because labor unions refuse to budge on civil service protections for employees in the new department of homeland security. The current bureaucracy is unworkable. Gramm said, because it is too difficult to remove incompetent federal employees. In organizing this new department, the president has got to have the power to put the right person in the right place at the right time, Gramm said.
