Economists are skeptical
Mergers may aid society

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

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.
Bourgeoys was born in IS

As a kid, did you hate eating
the crusts on your bread? 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.

FREEDOM
In the age of information technology, a company
—whose sales of $1.7 billion annually and whose
products and components extend from data acqui
sition and information processing through data
communication to voice, video and graphic com
munication — is making creative freedom a reality
for their new graduates.
