|l||tas A&M had been trying
.bring Glashow to Texas A&M
Vmanently, or at least for his
Gbatical year next year. The
diversity of Houston went f or

He will spend one week a year
i J campus and be a long-
stance consultant the rest of
e time. His pay was not dis-

“The one week is of course
only the tip of the iceberg,”
Glashow said by telephone from
Boston. “There are other things

Weinstein joined UH last
January. He had been physics
chairman at Northeastern Uni

ed with Glashow regularly since
1959.
Texas A&M physics depart
ment head Dr. Robert Tribble
said that Glashow had visited
here recently, and that the de
partment is still talking to him.
“Dr. Glashow has graciously
kept us informed of his plans to
affiliate with the University of
Houston on a limited basis,”
Tribble said.
“You have to understand that
the deal with Houston doesn’t
tie him up too much. A lot of

About 200 Texas A&M stu

hitei ture, business adminis-
|6n. education, engineering
1 liberal arts will be attending
timer school in Europe this
ir.
^■ona Rizk-Finne, study
road coordinator, said that in
^ ? past most study abroad
/ jgrams involved only the Col-
e -of Liberal Arts. But this
tr the nine groups of students
d fat uity traveling to various
ropean countries will study
- tees such as engineering,
:haeology, management, li-
ature, finance, education,
jh restr trketing, Spanish, French and
th vilkerman.
A group of engineering stu
nts will leave May 12 for a tour
. European engineering indus-
rtinefP 5 arran K ecl through a
ford
do’s and
iperative agreement with
Ruhr University at Bochum,
Germany, and sponsored by the
College of Engineering. She said
these engineering students will
attend classes and laboratories at
Ruhr University.
On May 14 a group of stu
dents will leave for a summer
study at a monastery near
Florence,Italy. The courses they
will be studying include classical
archaeology, the arts and civili
zation (architecture), introduc
tion to literature, western civili
zation to 1660, Italian education
and culture and organization
theory (management). The Col
lege of Liberal Arts is sponsor
ing the program.
Rizk-Finne said a group of fi
nance students will study fund
ing international business and
real estate investment analysis
during the second summer ses
sion in England and Scotland.
T his tour group, sponsored by
the finance department, will
take field trips to the financial
districts in London and Scot
land.
Another group will travel to
London, Scotland and Ireland
during the second summer ses
sion to study strategic manage
ment, Rizk-Finne said. The goal
of the trip, which is sponsored

speaking cultures and learn how
managers make decisions in an
international environment.
The educational curriculum
and instruction department is
sponsoring four education
courses in Scotland, Rizk-Finne
said. The goal of these courses is
to expose students to education
al systems in another culture.

ntilafei joe J. Estill, physical plant di-
tigalin- hor. said work on the project
mjsconCPbably will begin this summer,
ianavtl il he hopes it will be eom-
:ted by the fall semester. It is
pected to cost from $90,000 to

ithoutihtjfor operations, said the
ead ofclt priority will be to take care

finishing, Estill said.
A decision made by the attor
ney general of Texas in the
1950s makes it questionable for
the University to maintain the
building with state funds.
The attorney general’s deci
sion says no building which is
used strictly for religious activi
ties can be funded by state
money, but Cargill said state
funds will not be used for re
novation of the chapel.
Although provisions have not
been made for the funds yet,
Cargill said he feels confident
that there won’t be any problem
in getting the money.
The chapel was donated to
the University in 1957 by the
Association of Former Students,
but no provisions were made for
maintenance.
“There are too many people
who are interested in the chapel
to let this renovation be stopped
because of a lack of funds,” he
said.

“We see this affiliation as in
no way adversely affecting his
possible relationship with Texas
A&M. We expect to have a for
mal statement regarding this re
lationship in the near future,”
he said.
Glashow agreed.
“They (his negotiations with
Houston and Texas A&M) real
ly have nothing to do with one
another, except perhaps to de
monstrate some commitment to
Texas,” Glashow said.
Glashow also said Houston,
while seizing the publicity
advantage, has not really beaten
Texas A&M in a recruiting con
test because he could still go to
Texas A&M and keep his Hous
ton commitment.
Glashow won the Nobel Prize
for physics in 1979.
Alumni support University
with record gift amount
Rizk-Finne said that the mod
ern languages department is
sponsoring programs in Span
ish, German and French. The
group travelling to Germany
will leave May 18, another group
will leave for Spain June 23 and
a third group will leave for
France in mid-June.
Besides receiving academic
credit for all the study abroad
courses, Rizk-Finne said there is
another advantage to taking
classes overseas.
“Many students are involved
in some dimension of interna
tional affairs after graduation
from Texas A&M, and the study
abroad program is one way stu
dents can experience some of
the dimensions of these diffe
rent cultures,” she said.
A record $2.7 million was given
to Texas A&M last year through
the Association of Former Stu
dents in annual fund gifts, said
Jack G. Fritts, who headed the
Texas A&M alumni association
in 1982.
Fritts said unrestricted funds
totaling $2,620,000 represent a
new all-time record for giving
through the alumni organiza
tion. The remaining $123,267
was restricted to specific Texas
A&M programs and wishes of
the donors.
The donations came from
more than 30,800 contributors.
University President Frank
E. Vandiver said such support
by the alumni and the commit
ment which goes with the sup
port can make the difference be
tween a good and a great institu
tion.
“Texas A&M is the envy of
my colleagues throughout the
nation, and it is precisely for this
reason,” Vandiver said. “The
substantial support of our for
mer students enables us to be
come involved in projects that
other institutions only dream
about. It is this support that has
always placed Texas A&M a cut
above the rest.”
Texas A&M’s 1 10,000 mem
ber alumni association has in re
cent years ranked among the
leaders nationally in both per-
capita and total donations.
