were delivered from both ends,
even admitting that he often
used Kennedy to fire up
Republican crowds, causing
Kennedy to laughingly pretend
to walk offstage.
“If I know tonight’s honoree,
Monday morning he will be
back in Washington fighting
with every ounce of passionate
conviction for his longstanding
beliefs,” Bush said.
While on stage. Bush and
Kennedy were jokingly poking
fun at each other and accepting
their mutual differences, though
a few audience members were
not. Upon beginning his speech,
Kennedy was interrupted by the
shouts of an audience member
who was promptly removed.
The A&M Young Conservatives
of Texas also protested the
award, standing outside of
Rudder Tower with anti-
Kennedy posters and T-shirts.
Kennedy’s comments
regarding President George W.
Bush’s dealings with the war in
Iraq were the source of this
unrest.
“A few of my friends told me
it might be a little awkward to be
here right now, in light of my
strong disagreement with
President George W. Bush over
Iraq,” Kennedy said. “But they
told me not to worry. If any
demonstrators stand up and
walk out, just pretend they’re all
leaving early to go up to
Oklahoma to cheer on the
Aggies against the Sooners in
tomorrow’s (Saturday’s) game.”
Kennedy emphasized the
importance of debating issues
such as the war in Iraq and
added that, despite the disagree
ments between the two families,
they shared a common commit
ment to upholding the nation's
founding ideals and ensuring
that America lives up to its high
est principles.
“We are a stronger nation
when ideas are debated,”
Kennedy said. “In truth, the
greatest respect we can give to
an idea is not to blindly embrace
it or instantly oppose it. but to
think about it, study it and yes,
test it and debate it.”
Bush said Kennedy’s com
ments towards the current presi
dent did upset him hut that he
respected Kennedy’s courage in
expressing his opinion, despite
the offering of the Bush Award.
“Be nice to my son. will
you?” Bush said.
Israel’s Cabinet bard]
approves prisoner swap
By Peter Enav
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel’s
Cabinet narrowly approved a
prisoner swap with Hezbollah
after eight hours of anguished
debate Sunday, overriding
warnings that the deal could
signal weakness and encourage
more kidnappings of Israelis.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
lobbied hard for the swap,
which excludes Israel’s most
famous missing serviceman.
Air Force navigator Ron Arad,
who was shot down over
Lebanon 17 years ago. The vote
was one of Sharon’s toughest
leadership tests in three years.
The deal for the swap could still
collapse — and the Lebanese guer
rilla group threatened Sunday to
kidnap more Israelis if that happens.
Under the deal, about 4(X)
Palestinians and several dozen
prisoners from Lebanon, Syria,
Morocco, Sudan and Libya will
be released in exchange for
^olUHK
Israeli businessman
Tannenbaum and the bo&
three Israeli soldiers.

areas such as the underground passageway at Wellborn Road.
“We want the bicyclists to have access to the passageway in order,
to avoid the dangers involved in crossing the tracks and the inter
section at Joe Routt and Wellborn,” Weis said. "But we also want to
try and ensure that we don't have a bicycle-pedestrian accident that
kills or severely injures one of our community members.”
On campus, TS regulates parked bicycles while UPD regulates
moving bicycles.
University Police Sgt. Allan Baron said there were eight bicycle
accidents reported from January to October of 2003. Three involved
an automobile, two involved a pedestrian and three involved anoth
er bicycle. All eight accidents involved minor injuries.
Most bicycle accidents that do occur stem from a lack of knowl
edge of state laws, Baron said.
State laws require bicycles operating on public streets to follow
all the rules and regulations that someone in a vehicle is required to
follow.
Baron said the two biggest bicycle problems he sees on campus
are failing to stop at stop signs and failing to have headlights on at
night. If a person is caught doing either one, he will be issued a tick
et by UPD through the justice of the peace, which could result in a
tine of up to $500.
According to the TS Web site, state laws require a bicycle#
ing at night to have a white lamp in front and a red reflectoronii
lamp in the rear.
Mosley said she is aware that bicyclists must follow the si
rules as automobiles, but that she does not always follow (tier
Although she rides her bicycle on campus at night andhasreffe
tors, she does not have headlights. She said she stops at stops®
if traffic is heavy.
“If I’m going and there are no cars, I’m not goingtostoj
she said.
Weis said another big problem on campus is vehicles parked
bike lanes.
“Parking in bike lanes presents a huge risk to bicyclists inti
they have to move out of the path and into the traffic, greai
increasing the risk to them and to motorists whose attention mayk
focused on the vehicle that is partially blocking the lane of tifi
and may not see the bicyclist,” Weis sad.
Baron said if a bicyclist is not paying attention and a vehicle's
door opens, the bicycle may run into it.
Mosley said she often sees vehicles parked in bike lanes,bin#
she doesn’t consider it a major problem.
“You just go around them ” she said. “It's better than having
fight people walking on the sidewalks.”
