Quilt serves
as memorial
to AIDS victims
DALLAS (AP) — One after an
other, the names were read: Marvin
Feldman, who was the first on the
quilt. ‘Baby D,’ who died unnamed in
a Fort Worth hospital. Mike Sobri-
eski, an architect who was remem
bered by his friends.
Eight hundred tearful mourners
listened as City Council members,
AIDS activists and health-care pro
viders Wednesday night read a list of
AIDS victims whose names have
been recorded on the national me
morial quilt.
And they watched, some of them
sobbing, as 1,400 cloth panels un
folded that, square by square, memo
rialize victims of the acquired im
mune deficiency epidemic from
across the country.
“A lot of people have come to let
go,” Dan Perry, an organizer, said of
the quilfs visit to Dallas. “This is
meant to be catharsis.”
The national memorial quilt dis
played Wednesday and Thursday at
Fair Park’s Centennial Hall was
started more than two years ago,
when San Francisco gay leader Cleve
Jones cut a single, 3-by-6 foot square
of cloth in memory of his best
friend, Marvin Feldman.
More than 175 panels were made
in Dallas in the past three months
and hung at the hall’s entrance, said
Daryl Moore, president of the Peo
ple With AIDS Coalition.

younger. 1 remember the look on mom’s face the

I What will mom say when she finds out that I
extracted chromosomes from a field mouse to

Written. They won’t believe I’m actually studying
at camp and enjoying it!

by the same foundation, their content is entirely
separate.
“So many of these kids want to be engineers,
but they don’t know the difference between va
rious disciplines,” Darby said. “We emphasize en
gineering but our specific emphasis is on chemi
cal engineering.”
He said the engineering program will offer its
18 students more than just technical and math
ematical skills.
It will include classroom activities, career
counseling, communications skills and problem
solving techniques. Each of the students will be
working with faculty members on specific re
search projects, Darby said.
The students also will have the opportui^ity to
go on plant tours of Shell Oil in Houston, Exxon
in Baytown and Dow Chemical in Freeport.”
Adams said that students interested in careers
in natural sciences will be exposed to state-of-the-
art laboratory facilities and techniques.
“Our program will focus on wildlife ecology,
fisheries-aquaculture and the natural studies of
museums and the diversity of wildlife in the Bra
zos Valley,” he said. “The students will pick a
field they are interested in studying for two
weeks and will do extensive exploration into that
field, interacting with professionals not only
from Texas A&M but from state and federal en
tities as well as private industry.”
A trip to Galveston is planned to familiarize
the students with the A&M marine biology de
partment there, Adams said.
“The students will keep a diary, known as
‘field notes,’ in which they will enter their new
findings and experiences,” Adams said.
“Our program is only sponsoring 15 students
for two weeks,” Adams said. “We’re starting
small, testing the water.”
Adams said that he plans to continue the pro
gram even after funding runs out in two years.
“Our program wouldn’t work without the gen
erous support of our 18 faculty members,” he
said. “We have a vision of funding our own pro
gram when the NSF funding stops in two years.
It’s a great way to recruit kids.”
Although the two programs are separate from
one other, both are selecting applicants with simi
lar qualifications.
“We want to recruit the ‘shakers and the
movers,’ not only those students who have high
grades in advanced courses, but also those who
display determination and outside interests,” he
said.
Both programs are placing emphasis op select
ing minorities, females and financially disadvan
taged students.
Darby said he wants to attract those students
who have a potential to succeed but no opportu
nity to try.
“We hope to attract students from smaller and
rural high schools that don’t have elaborate sci
ence programs,” he said. “We want to encourage
students, especially minorities and women, to se
lect engineering careers.”
Adams said students will be selected after care
ful reviewing of their applications, counselors’
recommendations and personal essays.
An expected positive feedback from students
about this summer’s program should generate
interest in next year’s camp, Adams said.
“The students will benefit from the program,
but we can’t be responsible for the positive effects
that the A&M campus and its students will have
on students in terms of their futures and univer
sity choice,” he said.

said.
Reeves, who shot himself with a
pistol as police surrounded his car at
a stoplight about a half-hour after
the robbery, remained in critical
condition in Humana Hospital Med

Henry said.
“First of all, he’s very good. Sec
ond of all, he’s very lucky,” Holt
said.
“He planned well, he executed
well and he was well-disguised” with
wigs and false moustaches.
Other state and federal charges
are being considered against Reeves
