on March 17, but student support from the Student
Senate is needed if a GPR modification plan is
implemented, Patterson said.
The resolution will most likely be reconsidered
in the Senate later this year, Patterson said.
In other business the Senate approved a bill
establishing a council to recommend a memorial for
Matthew Gaines, the 19th century state senator who
led the push for the appropriation of land grant
money to establish A&M.
The approval was unanimous, with no senators
offering opposing speeches or concerns.
“Everyone knows who E. King Gill is. The only
reason we don’t have a statue for Matthew Gaines
is: a) he was a Republican and b) he was an African
American,” Capps said.
Six other resolutions were approved by the
Senate, including two emergency resolutions that
expressed opposition to aspects of tuition deregula
tion resolutions being considered in the State
Legislature.
The first emergency resolution opposes differ
ential tuition, which could charge different
tuition for different classes, and the second
opposes the Texas Compact Plan, which offers
extra support to students whose parents are
below the median state income.

G1ES received several com
plaints from Aggies, some of
them heterosexual, expressing
concern about Thursday’s rally,
she said.
Binzer said Gay Awareness
Week’s mission is to inform
homosexual students that
resources exist on campus for
those who want to come out or
need support.
Binzer said 10 percent of all
U.S. college students identify
themselves as homosexual, but
less than one percent at A&M
do so.
“We think it’s kind of a low
estimate of who’s really here,”
she said.
Binzer said she believes gay
students at A&M are reluctant
to come out because they face a
more politically and religiously
conservative student body.
Freeman also said the large
number of religious students at
A&M contributes to negative
attitudes toward gays.
Freeman, who is the only
openly gay Corps member, said
other gay members exist but
they are afraid of what other
cadets will think.
Sarah Davis, a member of
Young Conservatives of Texas
and a junior international studies
major, said she doesn’t agree with
Gay Awareness Week as a recog
nized University event.
“Although I think the
University is a place where
ideas should be freely
exchanged, 1 don’t think the
University should be setting
policy or involved in such a
controversial issue,” she said.
Davis said homosexual
behavior damages the family,
which in turn has a negative
effect on the entire nation.
Jones said the long-term goals
of the gay student community at
A&M are finding more support
and acceptance and being able to
support more people.
“If we educate one person,
then we’ve done our job,” she
said.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Key witness in terror
trial pleads guilty
A key government witness in
the case of an alleged "sleeper"
terrorist cell pleaded guilty
Thursday to 10 federal charges of
fraud and misuse of a visa, clear
ing the way for him to testify.
Youssef Hmimssa, 32, could
testify next week in the trial
that began late last month
against four North African men
accused of conspiring to pro
vide material support or
resources to terrorists.
The government claims the
four defendants attempted to
recruit Hmimssa and wanted
him to make false documents
to get people into the country
illegally. Defense lawyers in the
terrorism case say Hmimssa is
a liar who is trying save himself.
Charges against Hmimssa and
the others stem from a raid on
a Detroit apartment six days
after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Prosecutors say the raid turned
up a day planner that detailed
planned attacks on an American
air base in Turkey and a hospital
in Jordan, as well as a videotape
of U.S. landmarks including
Disneyland and Las Vegas' MGM
Grand Hotel and Casino.
Authorities also found fake IDs
and documents, including some
with Hmimssa's photo.
