The city will use the money for five to 10 years for different road and safety improvements. One such project would he to change the atmosphere between A&M and Northgate, Bellomy said. Officials want to keep the same number of lanes on University Drive, but add a cen ter median that would encour age parking on both sides of the street, he said. The city would also lower the speed limit on University to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Other plans include adding on to Church and 1st Streets and adding lights and sidewalks to several streets in the area. Improving the parking and driving conditions around Northgate will hopefully attract new businesses and restaurants to the area, Bellomy said. “We are probably a little unrealistic to say that we can create another 6th Street.” Wood said. “However, we are trying to push the live music and enter tainment aspect.” Bellomy said live music could be a great theme for Northgate ata- and could serve as a great lyst to attract businesses. He said the city is trying to get rid of the dumpsters and recycling center next to the paid parking behind Northgate. In its place, developers are working to create a pavilion that will include a stage for live music. They want to encourage live music and little restaurants to operate behind Northgate every night, he said. “Northgate has a diverse, international population with an urban feel,” Bellomy said. “It should appeal to all markets, including church members, stu dents, faculty and city residents.” (Continued from 0 |enn of -m Ml,.. heart Problem dun,.?I J : ,M ate' playinYkl Aggies against Tulsa ln May 2000, dela*- lorry Nichols was kiln, auto accident in El Paso Instead 0 f m Monday, Slocum meu^ football team for 45 m®, discuss what happened to console players. “It never gets anyeasij mutter how many time-. through it,” said A&Mdej line coach Buddy Wyatt i really teel for the parents a;] aM guys he playedtj I hey’ve all worked hardt* er and gone throughtheiA down.

ADEP did not visit any classes to administer the survey on Fridays or before 9 a.m. “We wanted to visit an average class time, which is between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.” Ford said. The survey reached more than 1,200 students: 95 percent were between the ages 18 and 24 and less than one percent were grad students. The survey is drafted by the Core Institute located at Southern Illinois University. The survey began in 1988 and is used by a majority of col leges and universities to track alcohol and drug use on campuses. Sarah Johnson, a senior civil engineering major, said student programs such as Caring Aggies are Protecting Over Our Lives (CAR- POOL) has positively affected campus during her four years at A&M. “I’ve used CARPOOL and I think it has defi nitely made a great contribution to Aggies by less ening drunk driving accidents in College Station,” Johnson said. “The ‘21st Birthday Card Program’ is great, too. It makes students think twice about binge drinking when they get a card from univer sity administrators warning them about its dan gers. It goes to show that A&M cares about the safety of students.” During its first fall semester at A&M in 1999. CARPOOL gave 2,396 rides to students. That number rose to 5,295 in fall of 2001.

Moderates work on peace agreement -t C-7 . , „ DaUtiniJ JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli and Palestin ian moderates are close to a draft peace treaty, both sides said Monday, but at least one potential deal-breaker remains unresolved: the fate of Palestinian refugees. Even if completed, the 40-page document would have largely sym bolic value since those negotiating it are not in positions of real power. However, it could serve as a guideline in future formal negotiations. In the West Bank. Israeli troops shot and killed an 8-year-old boy on Monday as Palestinian youths pelted tanks with rocks and bottles, defying an Israeli curfew order. Seven Palestinians were wounded. In Gaza, Israeli tanks and troops moved toward the Dir al-Balah refugee camp early Tuesday, witnesses said. Israel has been conduct ing nightly search operations in Gaza, looking for suspected militants. The emerging Israeli-Palestinian document is a result of behind- the-scenes meetings during much of the 26 months of violence. The key figure on the Israeli side is former Justice Minister Yossi Beilin, one of the architects of interim peace accords and a member of the moderate Labor Party. Beilin, who did not represent Labor in the talks, told Israel TV on Monday that difficult issues were for the first time being discussed in detail. On the Palestinian side, the team was led by Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo, who said he was initially only representing him self. but on Sunday was given a more formal role by th Authority. Abed Rabbo said the draft is based on previous negotiations IF are trying now to reach a detailed agreement ^ of refuge But at least one sticking point remains the Palestinians demand that there be a Palestinian g Israel, there will be no agreement."
