‘Studying abroad can
impress future bosses’
By MOLLY PEPPER
Reporter
The study abroad program is a
big plus to have on your resume. Be
cause while having a degree is the
norm, having studied abroad shows
a desire to experience different envi
ronments, Cathy Schutt, academic
services secretary, says.
Schutt added that employers real
ize students who have gone overseas
have better interpersonal skills than
those who haven’t. Dealing with peo
ple from different cultures makes
you a better communicator, she said.
Mona Rizk-Finne, study abroad
coordinator at Texas A&M, said
studying abroad makes a resume
stand-out.
Last summer the Study Abroad
Office sent more than 200 students
on programs to study overseas.
Schutt said she expected approxi
mately the same number of students
to go this year.
Not all of the programs that the
Study Abroad Office sponsors are
for study. Students can also choose
summer tours which are not for col
lege credit.
Although Schutt was afraid some
students might take the tours just for
the prestige of studying abroad, she
said she’s been surprised at the en
thusiasm of students who have come
into the Study Abroad Office.
“They seem to have something
built-up inside them that stimulates
them to want to go overseas,” she
said. “They’re not intimidated by it.
The culture shock doesn’t frighten
them off. They have an T don’t care,
I just want to go’ attitude.”
Schutt said about 10 percent of
the students who come into the of
fice don’t even worry about getting
college credit. Most of the students
are graduating seniors who want the
“They’re not intimidated
by it. They have an ‘I
don’t care, I just want to
go’ attitude.” —
Cathy Schutt,academic
services secretary
chance to go overseas before they
graduate, she said.
But some students study overseas
without going through the Study
Abroad Office.
Some students would rather
spend time overseas studying at for
eign universities, Schutt said. She
advises students to get an address
and write to the university overseas
for a complete course description.
And if a student wants to receive
academic credit at A&M for these
courses, they should see an adviser
before they leave, she said.
“A&M is very thorough on credits
and they only want the best,” Schutt
said. “There’s a lot of information
out there and a lot of institutions,
but they’re not always going to be
transfered back to A&M ”
Manal Fares, a junior psychology
major, studied in Italy during the
“A&M is very thorough
on credits and they only
want the best. There’s a
lot of information out
there and a lot of institu
tions, but they’re not al
ways going to be trans
fered back to A&M. ” —
Cathy Schutt
summer with one of the liberal arts
programs. She said she saw more
while on the program than she
would have if she had she been trav
eling independently.
Jeff Cordes, a junior biology and
Spanish major, went to Spain last
summer on a liberal arts program.
He said studying abroad had a pro
found effect on his life.
“I’m not so narrow-minded,”
Cordes said, “I can see the perspec
tives of other people and I can see
how they arrive at opinions.”
Cordes said the learning envirno-
ment in Spain could not be repro
duced in a classroom at A&M.
“You would have to recreate the
last 1,000 or 2,000 years of history,"
he said. “The thing that is different
is not just physical — it’s the way of
thinking and it’s passed on through
generations.”
Julie Bachman, a graduate stu
dent in business administration,
studied in Italy as an undergrad
uate. Now she’s trying to do the
same thing as a graduate.
She’s working through the Coun
cil of International Education Ex
change, which provides information
on graduate schools, study programs
and tours abroad.
“I’m looking at trying to get an
MBA abroad or do some kind of ex
change like I did with my under
graduate work,” she said. “I think it
was a really broadening experience.”
Michael Tagaras, a sophomore
aerospace engineering major, said
he also hopes to work abroad, but he
doesn’t plan to study abroad. Taga
ras has lived in Europe most of his
life. His father is in the military.
He said he travels abroad to learn
about a different way of life.
“I see opportunities to learnaffi
ferent system than what’s in Ameri
ca,” he said. “I’m not going ovet
there lor the money and I’m noi
going over there to see the sights,be
cause I’ve already seen them. I’ll
going because I want to see a ne*
way of interacting with people."
Rizk-Finne said students gain per
sonal, academic and professional re
wards from studying abroad.
On the personal level, she said,
students see ways of thought that are
different from their own.
On the academic level, she said,
students experience what they learn
instead of reading about it in a text
book.
On the professional level, she
said, students learn about the busi
ness and educational systems in for
eign countries by interacting with
students from foreign countries.
But despite the value Schutt said
the cost of studying abroad frightens
many students.
"Money often frightens people
away because of the price of a pro
gram," she said.
But Schutt says if you compare
the cost of going to summer school
away from home to the cost of study
ing abroad, you’ll find studying
abroad is comparable in cost but not
in value.
Schutt says scholarships to study
abroad are not available at A&M.
Rotary Clubs often have schol
arships for study abroad, she said
Students can apply for these
through their hometown Rotan
Club.
The MSC Travel Committee has
an overseas loan fund for which stu-
“I see opportunities to
learn a different system
than what’s in America.
Tm not going over there
for the money and I’m not
going over there to see the
sights. Tm going becausel
want to see a new wayoi
interacting with people."

Kathy Barclay said that last year the
committee provided eleven $51

Students can apply during the fal

Associated Press
AUSTIN — City officials are pon
dering an ordinance that would limit
smoking in public buildings and pri
vate workplaces, rules a councilwo-
man says are proposed on the prem
ise that everyone has the right to
breathe clean air.
Supporters of the ordinance say
passive exposure to tobacco smoke
— such as breathing smoke from
someone else’s cigarette — is a haz
ard to nonsmokers.
Limiting smoking in offices, res
taurants and other gathering places
would follow action taken by Dallas
and several other major cities, back
ers say.
“The ordinance operates under
the basic premise that everyone has
the right to breathe clean air,” said
Councilwoman Sally Shipman, who
proposed the ordinance along with
Mayor Frank Cooksey.
A public hearing has been sched
uled for Thursday evening.
The plan submitted by Shipman
and Cooksey would forbid smoking
in all public buildings and private
workplaces, except in areas desig- -
nated for smoking.
The effort is supported by
Friends of Austin Nonsmokers and
other groups, including the local
chapter of the American Lung Asso
ciation.
Dr. James F. Pohl, a spokesman
for the local lung association, said
the city council has the responsibility
for making the city a safe place to
live and work.
“To eliminate a public danger or
nuisance, regulations need to be en
acted.. . . Concentration of tobacco
smoke in the workplace is often vet)
high, and innocent bystanders suffei
the consequences,” said Pohl, a pul
monary disease specialist.
One group opposing a no-smok
ing ordinance in private workplace
is the Texas Association of Business
Ronnie Volkening, spokesman fo
the group, said it hasn’t studied th
city council’s proposal, but that th
group’s feelings “are pretty muc
the same as when a similar law wa
introduced in the last session of th
Legislature.”
The business group argued tha
the state proposal, which neve
reached the floor of the Texa
House, was unnecessary.
San Antonio, Brown & Root
near $750 million settlement
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — A $750 mil
lion out-of-court settlement with the
former contractor of the South
Texas Nuclear Project was on the
City Public Service board’s agenda
Monday.
Bob McCullough, spokesman for
the city-owned utility, said the board
was scheduled to take up a resolu
tion authorizing CPS General Man
ager J.K. Spruce to sign the
agreement.
Such action would clear the way
for CPS, one of four utilities that
have joined forces to build the nu
clear plant, to begin receiving set
tlement payments.
CPS’ share of the settlement is
$210 million, which would be paid in
quarterly installments of $7.5 mil
lion each over a seven-year period.
The CPS board is the first to for
mally consider ratifying the
agreement with Brown & Root, the
original contractor for the $5.5 bil
lion nuclear plant near Baytown. »
The settlement was reached after
the four utilities filed suit in 1981.
Houston Lighting & Power Co.
and Central Power & Light Co. of
Corpus Christi, two other partners
in the project, initially asked for a

Public Utility Commission review of
the settlement.
“We could have started takiif
payments Oct. 1,” McCullough said
“but we wanted to wait until the Pi/
decision was worked out.
“If we had gone ahead and settled
by ourselves, the PUC could hate
gone ahead and said the settlemen 1
wasn’t alright and HL&P andCPUl
should go back to court,” he said.
Since then, HL&P and CPkl
have dropped their request for*
PUC review.
The fourth partner, the City of
Austin, has not taken formal actio*
on the agreement.
