For many years, UT’s fraterni-
ties and sororities have thrown
massive parties with very little
police interference. That may all
be about to change.
A new plan, revealed dur-
ing an Aug. 31 Austin Police
Commander’s Forum held by
Commander Michael Jung,
will focus on cracking down on
large parties in Austin, said John
Foxworth, president of the Shoal
Crest Neighborhood Association
and a photo advisor to The Daily
Texan.
Michelle DeCrane, spokeswom-
an for the Austin Fire Department,
said the new plan does not sin-
gle out fraternities. It focuses on
Austin’s safety codes and will
apply to all Austin residents, she
said.
Greek parties are often in viola-
tion of these codes.

have gotten bigger and more

Austin businesses are dou-
bling their staff and preparing
for battle as thousands of fans
invade Austin for the upcoming
Ohio State-Texas showdown.
Each UT football game is esti-
mated to bring in approximately
27,000 visitors, who on average
spend $188 per day each during
their stay, according to a study by
the Angelou Economics analysis
agency in Austin. This level of
cash inflow amounts to roughly
$8 million in local economy and
direct retail sales with a turnover
of an additional $6 million.

Surrounded by her grandchildren, loved
ones and admirers, former Texas first lady
and philanthropist Idanell Brill “Nellie”
Connally was buried Wednesday morn-
ing.
The funeral began with the hymn
“Blessed Assurance,” as Connally’s cas-
ket lay at the foot of the pulpit draped in
golden roses. By her side stood a cross
made entirely of white roses.
Connally died in her sleep Friday. She
was 87 years old.
She was born on Feb. 24, 1919, in Austin.
In 1940, she wed former Texas gover-
nor John B. Connally in the First United
Methodist Church in Austin. Her funeral
was held at the same church.
She was the last surviving passenger in
the car in which former president John F.
Kennedy was killed in November 1963.

Officials evacuated Kinsolving Dormitory
Wednesday at 9:15 p.m. after students began com-
plaining of an odor that was making it difficult to
breathe.
Students on the scene said firemen knocked on
their doors and told them to evacuate.
“Some girls on the fourth and fifth floors were
having violent coughing fits,”said Jessica Binkley,
an English sophomore.“Some fireman came in and
just told us to leave the building.”
No harmful substance was found, said Austin
Fire Department Commander Aaron Woolverton.
He said the odor could be attributed to an air han-
dler carrying an outside smell through the building
or an accidentally discharged defense spray.
All 19 patients on the scene refused treatment,
Woolverton said.
