THE BATTAL10
Promenade
Continued from page 1A
Under state law, bartenders can be held liable
for individuals who drink too much and then in
jure other people.
“When people order a drink from a bar, there’s
a bartender who’s held accountable, and an indi
vidual who can cut someone off,” Friedman said.
“There’s no way to do that right now.”
The majority of students have reacted nega
tively to the proposed ban.
“I don’t think it would work, because it would
take away from the Northgate experience,” said
Shay Mariani, a senior agricultural systems man
agement major. “One of the reasons the prom
enade is so popular is because people can buy
their own cheap beer.”
Although many bars in Northgate agree that
the situation poses liability issues for them, man
agers have had mixed reactions toward the pro
posed ban on open containers.
“I think it’s bad since you can no longer do
your own thing,” Freeman said. “I think that’s
the unique thing about Northgate, and one of the
main reasons people come out here.”
McCollum said the CSPD is in the consulta
tion stage, and nothing has even been presented
to the City Council.
“We’re in a evaluative phase, and I want to
emphasize again that nothing has been decided,”
McCollum said. “We’ve consulted other cities
including Austin, to see how they have handled
areas such as 6th street.”
McCollum said students can expect an official
proposal to be in front of the City Council in the
next six months.
“Northgate is changing very, very rapidly,”
McCollum said. “It used to be four-to-five bars
in that area, and now there’s about 12 over there.
We just want to make sure that it remains a safe
place for everyone.”

redistricting plans.
“I think Tom Delay is the
most corrupt politician in
America today,” Bell said.
“Not for the redistricting, but
for the way he went about do
ing it. The Texans for Republi
cans misused corporate money,
(a law) which has been on the
books for 100 years ... they re
categorized (the money).”
Bell said he is angered by the
redistricting and the time frame
in which it occurred, which was
nearly minutes after Bell was
sworn into office.
“I was elected to Congress in
2002,” Bell said. “About one
day in Congress there was an
ugly little plan for redistricting
in the Houston area to be pre
dominantly African American.
That would have Democrats
fighting against each other.”
Greg Mikeska, a sophomore
engineering technology major,
said that’s not true and that the
decisions were made in a dif
ferent way than Bell believes.
“From what I understand
the last time redistricting was
done, it was done by a court,
and I don’t think that’s right,”
Mikeska said. “I think the peo
ple need a voice in that issue.”
Bell said the main idea of the
war against Delay is to bring
change into Congress.
“We need to change the ethical
climate (of Congress),” Bell said.
Bell closed, saying that
even though there is much
work to be done in Congress,
things can improve.

Bell said.

Hurricanes
Continued from page 1A
“We’ve already heard anecdotal evidence of
industrial reemiting in Florida, and the compa
nies say, ‘We’re going to drop you off our list,”’
said Mark Soskin, an economist at the University
of Central Florida. “Now you’re actually hearing
people talking about, ‘Maybe this isn’t the best
place to live.’ There’s a lot of stress here, you can
see it in people’s eyes.”
For most Americans, the most visible effect
of the hurricanes has been their contribution to
a surge in oil prices, which broke $50 per barrel
for the first time Tuesday. Florida isn’t a major
refining center or transportation hub for gaso
line, but Hurricane Ivan shut down 39 produc
tion platforms and two drilling rigs in the Gulf
of Mexico. Nearly 12 million barrels of oil, or
2 percent of annual output there, have been lost
since crews were evacuated ahead of that storm
earlier this month.
Americans will also feel the storms’ impact
at the grocery store. Orange juice prices at the
Winn-Dixie supermarket chain are currently no
higher than a month ago, the company says, but
orange juice futures are up more than one-third
on commodities markets since the beginning of
August, suggesting prices will rise.
Tomato prices have jumped 50 percent in
recent weeks, and squash has nearly doubled,
said David Bova, an owner of Produce Source
Partners, a wholesaler in Roanoke, Va. The hur
ricanes hit just as many crops were coming out
of season in the rest of the country — a gap usu
ally filled by Florida suppliers. The problem was
compounded by hot weather in the West that
shortened the growing season there.
“Chances are, high prices on these products
will not really stabilize for at least 30 to 60 days,”
Bova said.
The storms also are expected to delay the har
vesting of peanuts in Georgia, where the pecan
crop was hard hit.

seen in a long time, Peterson said, and candi
dates need to use this advantage to get their
points across.
Peterson said neither candidate has taken
lessons learned from Bill Clinton’s presiden
tial campaigns.
“Kerry had an early lead and played de
fense and talked about the past for a long
time,” Peterson said. “Clinton had that
early lead and relentlessly talked about
the future.”
Peterson said Bush has also made the
mistake of neglecting his domestic agenda
and concentrating more on foreign policy.
Bush also paints a rosy picture with the is
sues in the Middle East, Peterson said, and
even with elections close, this could be po
tentially dangerous.
“We don’t know what will happen in the
upcoming month with Tony Blair and Par
liament voting soon whether or not to pull
out of Iraq and Afghan elections,” Peterson
said. “Both events could be detrimental or
encouraging to the Bush campaign.”
In a question-and-answer session, Peter
son said both parties have been atrocious it

at their respective conventions, but that the
Senate races in some states will have minor
ity representation.
Jeff Brand, a senior accounting major,
said he agreed with the speakers thattherace
is close and that the few undecided will;
ally be deciding a lot.
“I know which way I’m voting, but
hoping that the debates will help swingvot-
ers take sides,” Brand said. “It will beanin
