Dear readers,After the tragedy at Virginia Tech last school year, university administrators across the country have reevaluated the methods used to notify students, faculty and staff of emergency situations. Texas A&M has adopted Code Maroon.Any Texas A&M student, faculty or staff member can sign up for the service at www.codemaroon.tamu.edu. As the spouse of a staff member my cell phone is included in the network.

Those with the responsibility of activating the system bear the burden of deciding when to implement it. I know that interim president Ed Davis doesn't take that position lightly.Hoping your day is without incident,Sam Whitewww.SamWhiteRealty.co...
