$27 extra for a three hour class
isn’t too much to ask,” he said.
Tanya Harvey, a senior agri
cultural journalism major, said
she knows the University will
use the money for student pro
grams and better faculty.
‘‘I don’t see a problem with
the increase,” she said. ‘‘We go
to a high quality university and
we need to expect to pay for
what we get.”
Also on the agenda will be a
proposal to authorize Gates to
sign an agreement to transfer the
A&M athletic ticket office oper
ation over to the 12th Man
Foundation, Wright said. By
moving all athletic ticket office
operations to the 12th Man
Foundation, the University
hopes to save money and con
solidate other operations.
Wright said the board will
not address issues regarding the
recommendation to close the
Department of Journalism dur
ing this meeting.
He said it would likely be
addressed in September or
November.

no longer cast a shadow of hate on Iraq,” it said in a statement.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said, “The Iraqi people are safer
today. We will pursue the other members of his murderous regime
wherever they might be hiding.”
Sanchez said he thought the security situation now would improve.
“I believe very firmly this will have an effect. This will prove to the
Iraqi people that these two members of the Iraqi regime will never
come to power again,” the general said.
Ahmad Chalabi, a delegate from Iraq’s new Governing Council,
agreed. “This will contribute significantly to reducing attacks on coali
tion soldiers,” he said, speaking at the United Nations.
After the firefight in Mosul, about 1,000 people gathered outside
the smoldering villa, some expressing delight, others cursing the
Americans.
“How can they do this?” shouted a man in the crowd, apparently
more concerned with the property damage than the death of two of the
crudest men in Saddam’s regime. “What are the Americans doing
destroying a house like this?”
Hours later, gunfire erupted throughout Baghdad. The shooting was
believed to be celebratory as news spread of the sons’ deaths.
But a unit of the Florida Army National Guard, believing that it was
coming under fire from 30 yards away, shot a man twice in the chest
and a girl who looked to be between 6 and 8 once in the head. As the
unit retreated under orders, a medic treated the girl, who was taken to
a hospital in a passing car.
People in the predominantly Shiite Muslim city of Diwaniyah in
the south also opened fire in celebration, shooting thousands of rounds
into the air.
A bullet hit a U.S. Marine guarding a base in the city, a military offi
cial said. The official said the Marine was hit in the back and under
went surgery.
Iraqi Shiites, who are the majority in the country, were oppressed
by Saddam during his 23-year rule.
The gunfight in Mosul broke out after soldiers from the 101st
Airborne Division surrounded the stone, columned villa.
When soldiers approached the building, gunmen inside opened fire
with small arms. The “suspects barricaded themselves in the house”
and “resisted fiercely,” Sanchez said. “They died in a fierce gunbattle,”
he added.
Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division were working on a tip
from an Iraqi informant Monday night that the sons were in the house,
he said.
Asked if the United States would pay the $15 million rewards,
Sanchez said: “I would expect that it probably will happen.”
According to witnesses, a small force of American soldiers went to
the house about 9 a.m. and asked permission to search it. The occu
pants refused, and the patrol withdrew until about 10 a.m., when 100
more soldiers arrived in 25 vehicles.
The Americans opened fire and took fierce return fire from inside
the home, the witnesses said.
. The defense official said that when U.S. troops entered the home’s
ground floor, they almost immediately came under fire from four peo
ple holed up in the second floor.
