Un also discovered that some of his family did not survive their im prisonment. “When I finally came back to see my family, I had lost one brother,” he said. “He died by starvation. I also lost a grandfather, grand mother, two uncles and an aunt.” Un’s home was destroyed and his family was forced to find a new place to live. During that year Un helped the family survive by smuggling goods from Thailand to Cambodia. “I tried to buy anything that would be very hard to find in Cam bodia,” he said. After living close to the border of the two countries, Un decided that it would be safer and easier to make a living if the family moved to Thai land. That year the Un family fled from Cambodia, running by night and hiding out in the woods by day. They arrived at a refugee camp in Thailand. It was here that Un started paint ing pictures of his experiences in Cambodia. His pictures attracted the attention of journalists and doctors in the camp. Their initial reactions were of concern for the young boy’s mental state. When other refugees explained what Un had been through, the doc tors understood the boy’s desire to paint such tragic images and the journalists became interested in Un’s life. The Un family stayed in Thailand for seven months, then in the Phil ippines for six months. After Un’s father had written many letters to a leader of a Cambodian community in Minnesota, the family made its way to the United States. The family now lives in Minne sota. Un’s father works as a janitor at a high school, although, he once was a prominent civil engineer in Cambo dia. His mother, who got a diploma to teach high school in Cambodia, works as a cook for the University of Minnesota. Un said his parents are happy to work, although, their jobs aren’t comparable to the ones they had. Neither of his parents have Amer ican certificates to prove their educa tion and they had to destroy their Cambodian certificates for safety purposes. Un said his family is happy in America and has found the govern ment to be fair. “I think the American Constitu tion is the best in the world,” he said. Un also has adjusted well to American customs and cultures, al though, some of them seemed very foreign at first. “I had never seen football befo re,” Un said. "They looked like a group of astronauts trying to wrestle each other.” But since coming to A&M, Un has begun to really like the sport. “I taped every A&M game that showed on TV, especially the Cotton Bowl and Texas Longhorn games,” Un said. “And 1 really like this team. “I like the Aggie tradition — the way they are united together,” he said. “Another reason I like A&M is because I have a perfect roommate. We both get along really well —just like brothers.” Sources report prisoner trade (continued from page 1) on condition that his namear/ nationality not be revealed.

Pathologists examining human remains (continued from page 1) fused to comment directly on the report. “On the issue of human remains, all I can tell you at this point is that we are sensitive to the issue of per sonal effects and to the remains of the astronauts,” he said. “We have plans in place to treat them with great dignity and great privacy, appropriate to the respect that we have for them,” Graham said. The agency acknowledged five days earlier that one bone section washed ashore, but has never said whether it was identified as coming from an astronaut. It cautioned that the bone could be that of an animal or remains from missing fishermen and other people. Lt. Cmdr. James Simpson of the Coast Guard said, “They did not re trieve very much debris yesterday; there was a dramatic decline from the day before. If they have the same kind of re sults today where they have an ex panded (search) area and two days in a row of very little debris being re trieved, then I think tonight they’ll take a hard look at 'do they need all these resources?’ ” On Monday, the search area( tripled from the day before,v concentration on 20,000 miles. “The problem is we are i searching till the wav uptoCha ton and by the end of the week ^ l>e out another 200 to 4001 north,” Simpson said. “At point, the possible area where a are, is halt the Atlantic Ocean ! saicl.
