happy to be there. He’s just beside himself now.”
The source declined to comment on the charges
against Bice.
According to police records, the Lambda Chi
Alpha president found the videotape and notified
the president of the woman's sorority. The woman
later contacted Bice and asked if he had shown the
videotape to anyone.
“This crime is a state jail felony and you can
receive up to two years in a state jail,” Sigler said.
“(Bice's punishment) is up to the court, but people
always get probation unless that is violated.”
Bice was released from the Brazos County
Jail on Thursday after posting a $28,000 bond,
Dicky said.
Incidents similar to this one. involving secretly
videotaping others, were not illegal until this year.
Sigler said. In several cases, people installed cameras
while tenants were gone and then videotaped them.
“What those people did wasn’t burglary or tres
passing, so the legislature had to pass a new law
making this type of activity illegal,” Sigler said.
Bice could not be reached for comment.

Carroll Scherer, incoming
director of the MBA program,
said rankings are often used by
prospective students to choose a
business school to attend.
"Since the Business Week
results indicate that the Mays
Business School is of great
value, this will attract the top
students to the MBA program,”
Scherer said.
Kristin Aubel, a sophomore
undergraduate in the business
school, said the rankings make
her want to stay at A&M for
graduate school.
“It peaks my interest and
raises the possibility of my
attending A&M’s MBA pro
gram,” Aubel said.

economy, undergraduate busi
ness majors and MBA students
alike can expect a 66.2 percent
salary increase and a median
starting salary of $71,200 upon
graduation, according to a com
prehensive survey of recent
Mays MBA graduates.
A recent improvement to the
business school’s format may
relieve doubt among students.
The new modular format imple
mented this year includes week-
long intersession breaks that
allow students to different com
panies and corporations.
Corporate involvement in the
MBA program has risen in
recent years and gives students
hands-on experience with differ
ent businesses, Scherer said.
“With a strong commitment
toward preparing students to
face the challenges of today's
globally-oriented businesses, the
program focuses on producing
students who are experienced,
hardworking and committed,
accomplished communicators,
ethical, globally aware, team
oriented and technologically
competent," Scherer said.
Northwestern University’s
Kellogg Business School was
ranked number one overall by
Business Week. The only other
Texas school to make any of the
rankings was the McCombs
Business School at the University
of Texas, which wasn’t ranked
for return on investment.
Ranked number four in
steepest decline, UT’s school
fell from an overall rank of 17
last year to 21 this year and was
ranked number one in need of
improvement. The Mays
Business School did not appear
in any other Business Week
rankings.
