Check out TAMIU’S make-over of The Bridge;
let KLNT know if you want talk radio back on the air

Looks like a paper, acts like a paper. Take a look at The Bridge, Texas A&M International University’s student newspaper. The publication, which now features color pictures, has undergone a very nice transformation. Calling itself "The Vanguard of Free Thought for South Texas," the paper moves along nicely and with a new tone of clear communication under editor-in-chief Paul Martinez and faculty advisors Lilia P. Elizondo and Randy Koch of the university's Writing Center. Stay tuned. Kudos to Open Coffee Bar for showing their support of The Bridge by buying the back cover.
Chance Sampson of Senator Judith Zaffirini's Austin office did an excellent job coordinating the recent hearing the Senator hosted in Zapata regarding water levels in the Falcon Reservoir and its impact on the local economy. As a member of the media, LareDOS was aware firsthand of Sampson's good communication and networking skills. Other members of the Senator's staff at the three-hour hearing included Connie Hernandez and Beth Bryant of the Austin office and longtime and ever dependable staffer Karen Mejia of the Laredo office. The well-attended hearing was covered by the Associated Press, Laredo and Nuevo Laredo newspapers, Laredo TV stations, and Valley newspapers.
