One of the ways plans to change the yeartxxi regior to improve photo quality. “We’ll be having photow shops all summer for oui tographers,” Brenner said. All three nominees mus approved by the Univer provost, who will decide next couple of weeks. SBP Women Continued from page 1 The top 10 occupations for men and women have a huge salary gap, Bethman said. “The problem with the earning gap is women aren’t always as good at negotiating,” Bethman said. “Also, when you look at women having children, the gap grows.” At some point, many women have children and exit the labor force, making the statistics favor men in earnings, Rettenmaier said. “Children take time away from labor force,” Saving said. More women also work only part-time, and there is a small percentage of stay-at-home dads, Bethman said. Bethman said that as far as women's atten dance at universities goes, the gap between white men and women is not too large, with only slightly more women than men attending. Fewer black and Hispanic men attend college, with gaps approximately 60-40 in favor of Hispanic women over Hispanic men and 65-35 in favor of black women over black men, Bethman said. “In the 1990s, men were more likely to be able to get decent paying jobs without going to college than women were,” Bethman said. “Bill Gates never finished college." Bethman noted that A&M is an interesting case because the enrollment between men and women is close to 50-50. with only the last few incoming classes having more women Continued from page Di “0 md H wd h ironu VI TOITK infom sages “T, Micht compl mdivi Foi parine VIPzi tocoi progn promt "0 infom Co receiv es the “V allow i Cunni father busint Ov many divers “Fi Cunni Re than men. Chilifest Continued from page 1 club Waldo Sebesta, a BARF member from Snook. Although the powered chutes can attain an altitude of 8,000 feet, most of the club members’ flying will be at around 500 feet, Sebesta said. People attending Chilifest are urged to exercise caution while driving, as well as patience, Gaas said. “Parking has always been an issue, and we really want to stress to people that they can use the park and ride,” said Brandon Wallace of Chilifest Inc. “This year’s location for the park and ride is the old Wal- Mart in Bryan by Gold’s Gym. We are offering a $5 coupon that people can use toward the price of the ticket or merchan dise there at Chilifest if they use the park and ride.” Wallace said that there will be nine buses running from the old Wal-Mart to Chilifest from 9 a.m. until everyone has left the concert. “I think the park and ride is a very good idea,” said Kerah Eldredge, a junior animal sci ence major from Lubbock. “The bigger the crowd, the more fun we have.” After Chilifest is over, Gaas said independent contractors are hired to clean up the trash. “One year there was a con tractor who did not fulfill their duties to clean the area, and there were some problems there,” Gaas said. Josh Isenhour, a second-year grad student from Lampasas, said he thinks the size of Chilifest has become a problem. “The first year I went. 1 saw Charlie Daniels, and we all had a good time; there weren’t that many people there,” Isenhour said. “The next year I went, the line of traffic was several miles long, so we just turned around and went back home.” Despite the crowds, Chilifest is still expecting to draw a large number of people. Tickets for the event can be purchased at locations listed on its Web site: www.chilifest.org. “It’s not the music or the chili. It’s getting that many Aggies together in one place that makes Chilifest so much fun,” Eldredge said. can do this through commi tion with the students the help of student organ tions,” McAdams said. Hildebrand said one of biggest problems at A&M its struggle to remain distn and a special place. “It is the jobs of the lea of organizations to get oult and to get everyone invol whether it be getting involvi that organization or goii« events in support of the A traditions,” Hildebrand said I Carter said she believer m and s the University needs to toil arc Oi on strengthening studentbo| unity as a both a universityi a community by leamingal# one another and by accept: differences. “Unity is a tradition to Carter said. “We need to bn: it back in a big way, thraij service to each other, 1 University and cor because unity builds bondst can never be broken.” McCaig said he is most w cerned about the skyrocketi costs to attend A&M andv® the University and organizations to be held if accountable for what they® student money for. “Some people will notbeib to afford to attend Texas Ml the rate of fee and tuition in® es continue on the path than!: are on,” McCaig said. ‘Tltt rampant financial waste,! n want to end that waste.”, cY Pub & Gr-ill T ejc-A/Lac T u-esd^ys w/A.a.t~on Holt This week's special guest Chris Knight * I 50 Shiner Pints $ 2 25 Mexican Bottles Have you received a MIP or Public Intoxication: REBEKAH L.
