Official: A&M
successful part
of global village
By Kelly S. Brown
STAFF WRITER
Texas A&M’s role as an integral
pawn in the success of the “global
village” continues.
But in order for this concept to
become permanent, everyone
must keep opening their minds to
world events so that different cul
tures may be understood and ap
preciated, A&M’s director of In
ternational Coordination said
Tuesday.
Dr. John Norris, who was the
guest speaker at the Association of
Professional Support Staff’s
monthly meeting, asked the audi
ence to run their eyes over a map
of the world and be aware of the
cities they recognize.
“Focus your attention on the
world as a whole, then on Texas
and Finally focus on our commu
nity of College Station,” Norris
said. “Think about all the other
places in the world, and you’ll
sense that we really live in a global
village.”
Norris said when he reads the
paper it becomes very hard for
him to ignore where the story
takes place, and when he looks at a
label on a piece of clothing, he al
ways notices and thinks about
where the cloths is made.
“Many times it’s other coun
tries,” Norris said. “We should all
take time to think about these
other countries — where they are,
what the people are like and what
their lifestyle consists of.
“Closer to College Station,”
Norris said, “look back at the
events of the last two weeks and
you’ll see the presence of the
global village at A&M with the
SCON A program focused on Ja
pan, and the program in Houston
that Mosher Institute for Defense
Studies sponsored on arms con
trol.”
Norris said the program in
Houston had potential and liter
ally did have an impact on the way
the world operates.
Leaders from all over the world
met and talked to each other about
things that have an effect on all of
us, Norris said.
“A&M is active internationally
— so active it almost scares me,” he
said. “There is not enough time to
know everything that is going on,
but it’s still important to under
stand and learn.”
Norris said it’s also important to
look back in the past in order to
produce what we are today.
He went through the history of
internationalism at A&M and told
of the growth the institution has
gone through.
“As the University grows it at
tracts faculty of various back
grounds,” Norris said.
“Many will have international
experiences, and as they begin to
settle in to A&M they will publish
things. Someone in another coun
try might read it, and get together
with the person who wrote it be
cause he’s doing similar research
— another example of a global vil
lage,” Norris said.
A&M has 1,900 international
students representing 1 10 coun
tries, Norris said.
“Many of these students will go
out of their way during Interna
tional Week to show and tell every
one about their country,” he said.
“The theme for International
Week, which is Feb. 27 — March 4,
is ‘Our Global Village: Separate
Pasts ... a Common Future,’ and I
urge everyone to go experience
some of the programs the students
are putting on.”
Norris said it’s another way of
continuing the evolution of global
village.

Investigators locate clues
in air ambulance wreck
TYLER (AP) — Federal investiga
tors Tuesday recovered flight instru
ments from the wreckage of an air
ambulance helicopter that struck a
high-voltage power line and ex
ploded in a fireball, instantly killing
its crew of three.
The pilot and two nurses died
Monday night when the BK-117 he
licopter hit a 120-foot-tall utility
tower during rain an.fog in muddy
woodlands 1.5 miles south of Inter
state 20. Electrical service was not
disrupted, utility officials said.
The victims were pilot Gerald
Morgan, 46, of Houston, and nurses
Katheryn Lea Ohnheiser, 31, of Hal
tom City, and Jeanne Lackey, 29, of
Lindale. They were part of the
Mother Frances Hospital Flight for
Life team.
“I think it’s safe to say they died
instantly,” Warrep V. Wandel, an air
safety investigator with the National
Transportation Safety Board, said.
The helicopter at 10:14 p.m. had
begun a flight to Pittsburg, Texas, to
airlift a cardiac patient to Mother
Frances Hospital.
Five minutes later, the helicopter
crashed after Morgan had radioed
back to the hospital that he was
aborting the flight because ot bad
weather, Authorities said.
The patient was later brought to
the hospital by ambulance and was
in stable condition Tuesday. “That’s
a happy note,” Bobbie Burks,
spokesman for the hospital,said.
Wandel said his team of siximJ
tigators, which includes a Fedml
Aviation Administration investijj
tor, probably would remain all
crash site through Wednesday.
Investigators t rudged th rough ikl
mud and the woods, photogi
the wreckage and makingdiagrJ
of the site.
Wandel said some of the helict
cm s' (light instruments already y|
been recovered.
