ule their dances twice this year
because of last-minute date changes
to the Homecoming game.
While disappointed that a tradi-
tional football match between Lee

students from both high schools
were relieved the Homecoming
dance did not meet the same fate.
RSS Student Body President
Michael Heinrich said that the
Monday before the hurricane hit, she
was approached by several worried
students about Homecoming plans.
“Everyone was freaking out and
asking so many questions,” Heinrich
said. “No one knew what was going
to happen.”
The next day, RSS announced that
the dance would only be delayed,
REL freshman Michael Adams
said he was disappointed to hear the
dance was delayed because he was
looking forward to having something
to do that weekend.
“I pretty much had everything
ready,” Adams said. “But at least
now I could get something better
than what I planned.”
With Homecoming postponed,
Adams said he had time to buy new

The decision to define mar-
riage between one man and one
woman in the Texas
Constitution, along with eight
other Constitutional amend-
ments will fall in voters’ hands
in this year’s election.
Also known as Proposition 2,
the amendment will prohibit the
state from recognizing any legal
status identical or similar to
marriage.
Local clergy were in support
of the amendment because Of
Bible teachings.
“Our God created the institu-
tion of marriage, our children
deserve the protection of
traditional marriage, and our
nation needs the stability of
strong marriages,” said Willie
Davis on behalf of the Houston
Area Pastor Council. Davis is
senior pastor of the Greater St.
Paul Baptist Church in Houston.
Steve Riggle, HAPC member
and senior pastor of Grace
Community Church in Clear
Lake, stated that if Proposition 2
stands, it would help “protect
and restore” marriage and the
family in Texas.
Some residents sided with the
pastors, saying the amendment
would help protect the true defi-
nition of marriage.
