Continued from Page 1 who came to A&M from China three years ago, said the orien tation helped him learn one necessary skill — how to write a check. “(I had to be taught) how to write a check — where to sign my name and where to put the amount,” he said. Jun Lu, a senior computer en gineering major, said that when he came to A&M from China five years ago, he had questions about registering for classes, opening a Speed Continued from Page 1 major, said she is not confident that the speed limit increase was a wise move. “When the speed limit was 55, people went 70 anyway, so now they will probably go 80,” Duna- gin said. “It would have probably been better to just continue being lenient with the 55 speed limit than to change it.” Carmon said the primary pur pose of the change was not a de sire for faster driving speeds, but rather a shift in decision-making power from the federal to the state governments. bank account and finding an apartment. “The orientation answered most of my questions,” he said. Drolesky said ISS throws a party the week before classes start to link international stu dents and introduce them to new friends they can depend on during their stay in the United States. “We try very hard to make sure that the students are provid ed with a friendly atmosphere when they arrive,” Droleskey said. “The point of the welcoming party is to make sure that the new students are not by them selves for the weekend (before classes start).” “The idea was to give the power of designat ing speed limits to the state,” Carmon said. Denise Fischer, Texas De partment of Trans- Evan Zimmerman, The Battalion portation public information officer, said the transportation department conducts speed studies and re searches roads and highways be fore changing speed limits. Research is presented to the Texas Transportation Committee, The orientation program also gives international students who have been at A&M for a few se mesters opportunities to share their wisdom and experience with new students. “The nicest part about the New International Student Ori entation is that we have so many students come back to help because they know what it feels like,” she said. Both Lu and Ouyang help at the student orientations now. Ouyang said he can empathize with the new students because he remebers how he felt. “I know I suffered a lot when I came here,” Ouyang said. “And I know what they are thinking.” which makes final decisions on speed limit changes. So far, speed limits have been increased only on four-lane, undi vided highways and interstate highways and freeways. Fischer said some people mis takenly think all roads should be 70 mph just because it is the maximum speed limit. “But we can’t make arbitrary decisions on speed limits,” she said. “We have to base it on data and speed studies.” Research on two-lane state highways will begin this month, and studies on the farm and mar ket road system will begin in April. “With over 76,000 miles of Texas highways, there is no way to get it all in one swoop,” she said. rr v^j a uiuiui.spiv.cDm Wednesday Career Center: A co-op orienta tion will be held at 10 a.m. in 302 Rudder.
