to disarm through inspections. In
Davos, Switzerland on Sunday,
Secretary of State Colin Powell
said he believed the inspections
had run their course, though he
did not explicitly call for their
end. He said that as a result of
Iraq’s lack of cooperation, he had
lost faith in the ability of inspec
tors to fulfill their mission.
But most of the Security
Council believes that’s a deter
mination they must jointly make
based on the inspectors’ assess
ments.
While there is general agree
ment that Iraq hasn’t been fully
honest in its declaration and that
it could be cooperating better
with weapons inspectors, the
absence of a smoking gun or
cries for help from Blix and
ElBaradei have led powerful
council members such as
France, Germany and Russia to
argue against military interven
tion and in favor of more time
for peaceful disarmament.
While Blix and ElBaradei
have made some sharp criti
cisms of Iraq over the past 60
days, they have also praised the
access inspectors were given at
hundreds of sites.
is designed to hold storm water
for a 24-hour period allowing the
water to properly drain into the
drainage system without over
flowing and causing flooding, he
said. The regraded area will not
need to hold water for more than
a 24-hour period.
This plan still allows for five
intramural fields in the area,
Godbey said.
Heavy landscaping is being
used to cover up the berm along
New Main Drive and trees have
been planted along New Main
Drive, Godbey said.
“Once it starts greening up, it
will be quite beautiful,” he said.
There was also a need to
improve the quality of New Main
Drive and Bizzell Loop and the
University was able to complete
the three projects at once.
Swick said.
“It was less disruptive to the
University community if these
improvements were accom
plished simultaneously,” he said.
The section of Ross Street
from Bizzell to Ireland Street
was also in the plans for recon
struction, but it was impossible
to destruct all three streets at
once, Godbey said. The con
struction of Ross Street is
expected to be completed by the
end of 2004.
Construction of a Bonfire
Memorial is scheduled to begin in
September 2003. The memorial
will be to the north side of the
Storm Water Management
System, Godbey said. The project
consists of 12 pillar-like struc
tures designed in a circular form.
The pillars will be placed on the
directional points of a compass to
the hometowns of the 12 Aggies
who died in the 1999 Aggie
Bonfire Collapse, Godbey said.
The Bryan Police Departnr
(BPD) was called to an Ewe
gas station Sunday morning u
Greens Prairie Road after a rep?
of an unsuccessful attempt t
steal an ATM machine.
Officers arrived to find they
pects had driven a blue Subuik
into the front of the store, tiec
chain around the ATM v
attempted to drive off with it
During the search forthes*
pects, a Bryan Police offii
spotted a suspicious vehide,
Ford truck, leaving Cur
Plumbing on Old Rock Prai
Road in College Station.
While attempting to stop tfi
truck on Earl Rudder FreewayaK
Old Reliant Road, an occupant!
the car fired a shot at the office
Neither the officer nor the patr:
car was struck by the bullet
Soon after, the truck struo
another vehicle that was trave
ing on Old Reliance Road,
one was injured.
Lt. Rodney Sigler of tie
College Station Pole
Department (CSPD) said tie
"really want to get a handlec
the suspects."
A combined effort by BPDais
CSPD failed to locate the®
pects, despite the aid of a
ing dog.
Sigler said, if convicted, the®
pects would be charged will
first-degree felony and wouldfae
from five to 99 years in prison.
Anyone with information
asked to call the CSPD at (91

“There are students who have succeeded at A&M, and students who
have failed here, and MEDALS addresses both issues,” Milton said.
Johnson said student concerns that MEDALS is “discriminatory”
are unwarranted.
“MEDALS is not about all that,” Johnson said, “If we don't reach
out and help those who are less fortunate, then who will?”
