Nuns who founded orders made saints 1.76 Economists are skeptical Mergers may aid society by Maureen Carmody Battalion Reporter The study abroad program provides more than just a dif f e rent environment — it provides experience, according to six Texas A&M students who re turned from a summer session in Europe. John Booth, a graduating senior in economics, said that during his stay in Scotland his group studied with such multi national companies as IBM and British Petroleum. But he said (he program provides for more than just studying the com panies. “It gave us the opportunity to study something in class, then to see it in action,” he said. Booth, Lisa Rotter, a senior in marketing, and Prissy Rodri guez, a senior in management, traveled with a group that went to England and Scotland last summer. T he students had an added benef it — they got to speak their native language. Rodrizuez said that she enjoyed this because it gave her the opportunity to go directly out among the people and talk with them. But not all study abroad stu dents go to English-speaking countries. Todd Midgett, a junior in biology; George Boozalis, a senior in biological chemistry; and Craig Schuster, a senior in environmental design, were part of a study abroad group that went to Italy. But Boozalis said it wasn’t much of a handicap not to know the language because the people were friendly. “The people in Italy would stop and ask if needed a ride into town,” he said. “You don’t find that in America. People don’t stop to ask foreigners if they need a ride.” All six students agree that an important part of the trip was meeting people and experienc ing their culture. “The main thrust of our trip was to try to absorb the culture,” Boozalis said. “There is no com parison to the experience of being there. You can hear peo ple talk about it, but to put your self in the shoes of another cul ture is the learning experience.” Rodriguez and Boozalis said they also learned to appreciate things — like ref rigators and ice. “You learn to appreciate the things you have,” Boozalis said. “But you also learn to appreciate the simplicity of the way they live.” The students weren’t the only ones interested in another cul ture. They said people in their host country seemed to be in terested in the American way of life, Rotter said. “They would ask us also about our school system and our cul ture,” she said. They also asked about televi sion. Rodriguez said that once people found out they were from Texas, the students were asked if they knewJ.R., from the television series “Dallas,” don’t mind Midgett said. paying for it,” United Press International VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II Sunday elevated to sainthood a French nun and a French-Canadian nun who founded religious orders. In an elaborate ceremony in St. Peter’s Basilica attended by 10,000, including thousands of French and Canadian pilgrims, John Paul declared Marguerite Bourgeoys and Jeanne De- lanoue saints of the Roman Catholic Church. Among those present was Lise Gauthier, 36, a Canadian radio station executive who was allegedly cured of terminal can cer when her parents prayed to Mother Bourgeoys for her inter cession. John Paul counted the curing of Gauthier as one of the four miracles required to become a saint. French Interior Minister Gaston Defferre, Canadian Na tional Income Minister Pierre Bussieres and Pauline Marois, Quebec minister of state for the status of women, also attended the canonization ceremony. Venerated by the world’s 750 million Roman Catholics as sym bols of holiness, the saints are believed to be able to intercede with God to perform miracles and answer prayers.

If so, maybe your immature taste buds were trying to tell you something. Scientists now re port that long baking, high oven temperature and dry heat promote a chemical reaction that robs bread, especially the crust, of some of its nutritional value. The reaction alters certain amino acids — the building blocks of protiens — so that your body can’t use them; the prob lem is made even worse by toast ing. Research reports that bread would be more nutritious if it were steamed or baked in a mic rowave oven. If this doesn’t appeal to you, try using bread recipies calling for lower oven temperatures and shorter bak ing times. And reset your toaster dial from dark to light.
