charter must be voted on by
College Station citizens, said
Kelly Cole, director of public
communications for the city.
Hooks said a decision has not
been made on this issue, but she
encourages people to vote on the
age requirement during the
November elections.
The council will survey other
Texas cities that are the same
size as College Station and get
information on their age restric
tions, she said.
Jennifer Johnston, a senior
biomedical engineering major,
said she was against raising the
age requirement.
“Students are a large percent
age of the population of this
city,” she said. “If they are
afraid that students are not
aware of the running proce
dures, there are better ways of
informing them than raising the
age requirement.”
Kyle Whatley, a member of
Aggies for Democracy and a
senior political science major,'
said he does not agree with the
change because it would
exclude a large portion of the
population.
He said the council has legit
imate reasons to believe there is
apathy among students, but the
change will only decrease stu
dents’ interest in government
involvement.
“(The city council) is trying
to cut our legs off from under us
before we get our footing,”
Whatley said.
Nick Welp, a senior philoso
phy major, said the council is
reasonable in requesting the
change in requirements.
“These kids are concerned
with their own resumes and look
at the city as a temp job,” he said.
Welp said 18- and 19-year-
olds don’t know enough about
city management or services
such as sewer, power, police and
fire.
“(Students) are nothing for the
city of College Station,” he said,
“and are looking out for their own
ambitions and agendas.”
The November vote affects
the May 2004 elections for city

Trial
Continued from page 1A
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said
Wednesday the conviction “stands as a stark
reminder that we are united in our efforts to hunt
down al-Qaida terrorists and bring them to justice.
Together, the United States and all freedom-loving
nations will defeat international terrorism.”
While suspects in the plot detained in the
United States face possible death sentences if con
victed, el Motassadeq’s 15-year sentence is the
maximum allowed under German law. However,
he becomes eligible for parole after the minimum
of 10 years with 15 months off for time served.
Even defendants in Germany sentenced to life in
prison generally serve at most 15 years.
El Motassadeq, a slight, bearded man who
admitted receiving al-Qaida training in
Afghanistan, denied the charges during his 3 1/2-
month trial. The defense, which had argued the
evidence was circumstantial, said it would appeal.
In addition to 3,066 counts of accessory to
murder, el Motassadeq was convicted of five
counts of being an accessory to attempted murder
and an accessory to bodily injury — charges intro
duced so five wounded survivors of the attacks,
including a Navy officer at the Pentagon, could
join the trial as co-plaintiffs.
Mentz said it was hard to give a man with two
small children the maximum sentence, but that he
had to consider the enonnity of the crime and el
Motassadeq’s lack of contrition even after American
co-plaintiffs told the court of their suffering.
Witnesses illustrated el Motassadeq’s enthusi
asm for the plot, the judge said.
“Al-Shehhi said, ’There will be thousands of
dead’, and the defendant said, ’We will dance on
their graves,”’ Mentz said.
