Large response
prompts TABS
to add spaces
By Laura Miller
Reporter
Minority students in agriculture
and home economics are responding
in such large numbers to the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service inter
nship program that the number of
positions had to be increased from 5
to 16.
Bill McConnell, personnel of f icer,
said a strong commitment to mi
nority students prompted the Direc
tor of the Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service Zerle Carpenter to
develop the program in 1987 to get
more blacks and Hispanics inter
ested in the service.
“The purpose of the internship is
for us to identify qualified and inter
ested minorities who may he willing
to go to work for the service when
they complete their college work and
also to give these folks a quality edu
cational experience,” McConnell
said.
The interns are responsible for
following the service guidelines,
which include keeping records on
their assigned counties and submit
ting reports of their experiences at
the end of the term, McConnell saitl.
Mario Perchez, a biology graduate
student and an extension service in
tern at A&M, said his job in horticul
ture involves researching parts of
South Central Texas to determine
which areas yield the best crops. A
typical day for Perchez includes at
tending class in the morning and col
lecting data on fruits and vegetables
in the afternoon.
“I am grateful for the minority
student program because it has
given me the opportunity to work
with many of the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service professionals,”
Perchez said.
McConnell said the service tries to
place interns in the same counties as
their hometowns or universities and
gives each intern the option to work
part time throughout summer or
full time for one summer semester.
By doing this, the service hopes to
cut down on the students' living ex
penses.
Minority students interested in
summer internships need at least a
sophomore classification and major
in agriculture or home economics
and have a minimum 2.5 grade-
point ratio.
“We are excited about further ex
pansion of the program and have
been real pleased with the response
we’ve had from County Extension
agents who are very willing to do the
extra work that it takes to supervise
the interns,” McConnell said.
Similar intern programs also exist
at Prairie View A&M, Texas A&l
University, Tarleton State Univer
sity and Texas Tech University.
Students considering future inter
nships can contact William McCon
nell in 2 System Adminstration.

An announcement from space

was impossible because it is taking
longer than expected to prepare
Discovery for llight.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A
lormer CIA official pleaded in
nocent Tuesday to charges he
conspired illegallv to arm the
Contra rebels and then asserted
through his lawyer that he was
only following President Reagan’s
policies.
After Joseph E. Fernandez, 51,
the agency’s former station chief
in Costa Rica, entered his plea in
U.S. District Court, his attorney
said he had committed no crime
and that his indictment sends a
chilling message to the nation's
intelligence agents.
The message tells agents that
“Should you become enmeshed
in activities . . . involving policies
where there mav he an absence of
political harmony at home.ti

“ Throughout the time Mr
nandez served in Costa Rica

dent of the United Slates,
son said.
Fernandez, who left the Cl!

Video evidence aids Pentagon probe
WASHINGTON (AP) — In
vestigators in the Pentagon brib
ery probe regard as .significant
potential evidence videotapes of
recorded meetings between De
fense Department personnel and
industry consultants, sources said
Tuesday.
More than one of the tapes
picked up an audible sound track
of the conversation, said the
sources, who spoke on condition
of anonymity.
The sources refused to say
whether the tapes show money or
confidential government docu
ments changing hands, but one
said the participants are doing
more than talking.
One source said “there areii
that many videotapes, videotape
are not an extensive technique
the case," largely because of tit
difficulty of making arrange
ments to tape a meeting tit
might be taking place with
much advance notice.
But the sources said thegm
