along that he had special qualities.”
Despite the deep pass plays that burned
the Sooner secondary, it was the rushing
efforts of McNeai and senior Joe Weber that
broke down the OU defense. The Oklahoma
defense had to drop back into coverage in
response to McNeal’s scrambling ability.
This allowed Weber running room up the
middle behind a highly effective offensive
line led by senior Taylor Whitley.
Weber complemented McNeal’s scram
bling with 83 yards on 18 carries.
“It opened up to where they weren’t lin
ing up against the running backs,” Weber
said. “They had to worry about Reggie
keeping the ball and getting out of the pock
et, and that definitely makes things wide
open for us as running backs.”
Oklahoma began the scoring by marching
down the field 55 yards on eight plays in its
second drive of the game. Senior running
back Quentin Griffin set the score up when he
ran the ball 34 yards to the Aggie 10-yard line.
Griffin caught a six-yard pass three plays
later to put the Sooners up 7-0.
Griffin rushed for 141 yards on 23 carries
in the game. The Aggie defense has now
given up 100 yards to a rusher in each of
their last three games.
The Aggies got on the board with
McNeal’s second drive with 8:25 left in
the second quarter. McNeai hit Murphy
along the right sideline. Murphy scam
pered the rest of the 61 yards unscathed for
the touchdown.
A&M closed out the half when McNeai
threw a 40-yard touchdown pass off his back
foot while being hit. The pass connected
with senior tight end Greg Porter w ith seven
seconds left in the first half.
“I said I wanted to go after it (at the
end of the first half),” Slocum saii
were trying to be very aggressiveii
situation.”
The Aggies opened the second half
like they finished the first by going71 y
on six plays. The drive ended when)lc'
hit a wide-open Bethel Johnson initie
zone on a 17-yard fade route to pm
Aggies ahead 20-13.

WASHINGTON (AP)
World War II veterans learned
Sunday they are about a year
and a half away from seeing
completion of their war memo
rial on the National Mall.
The American Battle
Monuments Commission
announced Sunday the memori
al will be dedicated on Saturday,
May 29, 2004.
“We really want to create
what we call World War II week
in Washington, D.C.,” said Mike
Conley, spokesman for the com
mission. “This could be one of
the last great gatherings of World
War II veterans in this country.”
The commission says that of
the 16 million citizens who
served in uniform in World War
II, fewer than 4 million are
expected to be alive when the
memorial is dedicated, noting
that veterans from that era are
dying at a rate of 1,100 a day.
A lengthy court battle was
waged over the memorial’s loca
tion and design, with opponents
maintaining its large-scale
design and location would spoil
the character of the Mall and
interfere with grand vistas long
enjoyed by visitors.
The 7.4-acre site is between
the Lincoln Memorial and the
Washington Monument. The
white stone memorial will fea
ture 56 17-foot-high pillars, two
four-story arches and a sunken
plaza with a pool. On the floor
of the arches will be the World
War II Victory Medal surround
ed by the words “Victory on
Land, Victory at Sea, Victory in
the Air.” A registry will contain
the names of veterans and others
who helped in the war effort.
Construction began in
September 2001 and is expected
to end in March 2004. Conley
said the commission chose the
May date for the dedication
because of the Memorial Day
weekend and the prospect of
nicer weather than in March.
The commission hopes to
organize several days of events
honoring World War II veterans
surrounding the dedication date,
including a Smithsonian exhibi
tion on the National Mall and a
memorial service at the
Washington National !

Victim advocates, reformers pressure
bishops on eve of meeting on sex abuse
WASHINGTON (AP) — The day before
America’s Roman Catholic bishops meet to
finalize their policy on sexually abusive
priests, victim advocates and lay reformers
gathered to pressure church leaders one last
time before the debate begins.
About 40 advocates — some weeping,
others holding pictures of victims — stood
across the street Sunday from the hotel
where the bishops will assemble demanding
the prelates take a more aggressive
approach to ridding offenders from the
priesthood.
“We are undaunted,’’ said Mark Serrano,
a national board member of the Survivors
Network of Those Abused by Priests. “We
will work every day and every night this
week to speak to individual bishops.”
The plan adopted this week will stand for
at least two years if it wins Vatican approval
and many prelates expect the completion of
the policy will ease pressure for reform after
a year of scandal.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops had first approved a disciplinary
plan when they last met five months ago in
Dallas. The policy before them now is a
revision they negotiated with the Vatican
that is meant to address concerns about
priests’ rights and other issues.
Bishops insist the new version maintains
their commitment to removing all abusers
from church work, but advocates argued the
process will be too cumbersome and secretive.
Their chance to win changes in the plan
may be waning.
Victims and lay people had ^ #
access to church leaders at the - «
ing in June, holding private t alKS
nals and addressing the full m( f .JL sctiei
ops. No such discussions have
uled this week even though
