for Muster 2004 and a senior marketing major.
“You can walk through and look at the pic
tures and the items that have been submitted
and realize that these people were Aggies, and
they had loved ones and lives and goals and
dreams,” Vogt said. “When you hear their name
on the roll call that evening, hopefully you’ll
remember something you saw about them.”
Ivison said she was glad she could share
parts of her daughter’s life at Reflections.
“1 think it’s a very great idea to let other peo
ple know what a wonderful person she was and
what a dedicated Aggie she was,” Ivison said.
Ivison said her daughter’s legacy was her
dedication to God.
“She wanted God to have all the glory,”
Ivison said, “Her last written words were
‘God’s grace is sufficient for me.’ Her last ver
bal words were. Remember, I’ve laid it at the

and we hope it arrives at a
process of justice
happy ending.”
The comments struck a more conciliatory note than
statements Friday, w hen Fox said the world court and
the United Nations will have to take action if the United
States doesn’t comply with the world court ruling.
The ruling by the United Nations’ highest judicial
authority could mean a reprieve or another chance of
appeal for the inmates, including one scheduled to in
May in Oklahoma.
But the decision also offered no assurances that
the states will try to address the court’s concerns.
The U.S. government has ignored the court's rulings
in the past.
Asked Sunday if he had contacted U.S. President
Bush, Fox said, “We’ll do it in its time ... to insist in
this act of basic justice.”
The death penalty has been a sore point in
Mexican-U.S. relations, with Fox canceling a trip to
meet with Bush in 2002 after Texas executed a
Mexican man convicted of killing a police officer. Fox
is a strong opponent of the death penalty.

CARPOOL
Continued from page 1
Tijerina said.
Ben Carter, a senior finance
and marketing major and CAR-
POOL chair, said it was inspir
ing to reach this many rides,
and that CARPOOL has been
focusing on not just giving
rides to people, but promoting
the message of making respon
sible decisions.
“I think this is a great mile
stone for CARPOOL; it shows
our members hard work and
shows dedication and the com
munity’s continued support,”
said Carter, who has been a
member of CARPOOL since its
second semester of operations.
Carter said CARPOOL has
helped start seven sister pro
grams at different universities
in the nation, including
Watchdawgs (University of
Georgia), SWAT (Texas State
University), STRIPES (Univer
sity of Missouri), CatsRIDE
(Arizona University) and
RamRides (Colorado Univer
sity), with 15 more such pro
grams at different locations in
the works.
CARPOOL runs Thursday
through Saturday from
10 p.m to 3 a.m. CARPOOL
will run through the remain
der of this semester with its
last day of operations on May
8. CARPOOL will not run
during the summer, but will
return in the fall.
Currently, CARPOOL has
275 student volunteers and has
increased the number of cars it
runs to 14. CARKJOL averages
about 180 rides each night.
“We really hope to keep
growing; we know that there
always is going to be students in
this community who will bene
fit from this service,” Barbier
said. “We want students to
make responsible decisions.”
Barbier said reaching this
number of rides is encouraging
to the volunteers and hopes that
those who use the service con
tinue to use it. She encourages
those who have not taken
advantage of the service to try
it if they become intoxicated
and need a ride home.

Chilifest
Continued from page 1
The extra police presence and the rented
lights at certain intersections were two things
that cut down on accidents this year, Gaas said.
There were 27 arrests made on the
Chilifest site and 94 arrests made through
out Burleson County on Friday and
Saturday, Gaas said. In 2003, Gaas said,
officers issued 125 citations, 80 of them for
underage drinking.
Not all the county arrests are necessarily
a direct result of Chilifest, Gaas said.
Gaas said there were mostly minor
injuries reported, and there were two
injuries that officials said were major.
“There was a seizure victim and a man who
got a cut to his head, and those were the only
major injuries that were reported,” Gaas said.
The seizure victim was a staff worker,
and the seizure was attributed to heat and
dehydration since the victim was not report
ed to be an epileptic, Gaas said.
Gaas said the victim was treated and
recovered later on site. The man who received
a cut to his head did not know how he
received the cut and was taken to a local hos
pital where he received stitches, Gaas said.
This year’s Chilifest site was not left lit
tered with as much trash as it had been in the
past, Gaas said.
“The staff brought more trash cans for
each of the team’s tents, and they were able
to get them emptied late Friday evening,”
Gaas said. “This really helped to keep the
garbage down.”

Connor Nix, a sophomore

his first Chilifest was the best.
“It was going to be hard for
Chilifest to live up to the expectation
we hyped it up to be, but I i
enjoyed it nonetheless,” Nix said.
