Aaron Kinsey, a junior
accounting major and head of
public relations for the Corps,
said that along with dinner,
evening formation was canceled
and the most cadets were given
the evening off.
“People were just hanging
out, playing basketball and soft-
ball. I saw some 42 (dominoes)

Courtney Davis, collecting automatic
weapons at a checkpoint, said he’d heard
from his superiors that there were still pock
ets of resistance.
With fighting on the wane, U.S. defense
officials said Monday they soon would
recall two of five aircraft carrier battle-
groups stationed in the Persian Gulf.
“I would anticipate that the major com
bat engagements are over,” Maj. Gen.
Stanley McChrystal said at the Pentagon. “I
think we will move into a phase where it is
smaller, albeit sharp fights.”
Meanwhile, President George W. Bush
told a Rose Garden rally on Tuesday: “Our
victory in Iraq is certain but it is not com
plete ... Today the world is safer. The terror
ists have lost an ally. The Iraqi people are
regaining control of their own destiny.”
Secretary of State Colin Powell hinted at
economic or diplomatic sanctions against
Syria, saying the government is developing
a weapons of mass destruction program and
harboring remnants of the Iraqi regime.
Syrian officials denied the charges.
In London, British Prime Minister Tony
Blair said Syrian President Bashar Assad had
personally assured him that his government
“would interdict anybody” crossing the bor
der from Iraq. “And I believe they are doing
that.” Blair told the House of Comma

school courses. Now, students will have to
pay that much more to see a football game,
when money could be put back into classes
— the reason we are here in the first place.”
Senior agricultural systems major Ron
Flippin said that he has no problem with the
increase if it means a more successful foot
ball program.
“It doesn’t bother me. I mean, we are
paying to go to 10 or 12 games,” he said.
“We haven’t won the Big 12 since 1998, we
didn’t go to a bowl game this last year, and
now, we have a new head coach. If this helps
pay his salary, it sounds all right to me.”
The Aggies have taken strides to close
the gap between themselves and the other
marquee programs in the Big 12. A&M
responded to a disappointing 2002 football
season by firing legendary Head Coach
R.C. Slocum and handing over the reins to
Dennis Franchione. Now, construction on
the new south end zone training and aca
demic complex is nearing completion,
keeping A&M ahead of the curve for col
legiate facilities.
