Aggies promote Muster Awareness Week
By Juliette Rizzo
STAFF WRITER
As part of Muster Awareness
Week, which continues through
Friday, Muster committee mem
bers, at a table in the Memorial
Student Center, will distribute
“Pass It On” cards to promote
and publicize the tradition.
The holder of the card signs
the back of it and passes it on to a
friend who continues the process.
Muster committee members also
will be available to provide infor
mation about Muster, answer any
questions and spread the word.
Muster is a time-honored cere
mony that allows Aggies to gather
and remember fellow comrades
who have passed away.
Ann Doan-Do, Muster public
relations committee co-chairman.
said it is the committee’s goal to
make all Aggies understand and
he aware of the tradition, so that
the image of Muster 1989 will live
long past the actual ceremony.
“We want to stress the sol
emnity and significance of Mus
ter, especially to freshmen,” she
said.
She said that in order to prove
that Muster is indeed A&M’s
most sacred tradition, everyone
needs to he able to feel and ex
press the emotion involved with
the tradition.
A history of Muster is available
at the table in the MSC andavi-
deotape of last year’s ceremony
will he shown. Aggie coins also
will be on sale this week.
“We want the image of Muster
1989 to live long past the actual
ceremony,” Doan-Do said.
Austin community
protests expansion
of Baptist church
AUSTIN (AP) — While the pre
acher preached and children fid
geted on a recent Sunday, home-
owners disguised in church-going
attire tucked fliers on the wind
shields of cars belonging to Hyde
Park Baptist Church worshipers.
“How Would You Feel?” the mes
sages asked, to find “your ‘neighbor
hood church’ had taken out demoli
tion permits on most of the houses
on your block?”
Not far behind, church messen
gers followed, picking up the fliers.
The melodrama in historic Hyde
Park has continued for more than a
decade. As the church has expanded
and chomped into the neighbor
hood’s core, homeowners have
grown increasingly antagonistic to
ward the Baptists.
On one side is the city’s largest
Christian congregation — 10,000
members, a church with the re
sources to do God’s work on a grand
scale.
On the other side are the home-
owners. They love their old houses
and love life in the central city, but
they don’t have much love left in
their hearts for “that church,” as
they call it.
It’s God’s house against all the
others.
The Hyde Park neighborhood
was born before the turn of the cen
tury. Then, the neighborhood and
church were growing up together, as
allies.
By the 1960s, however, Hyde
Park was on a skid. Homes were de
teriorating, and the growing Univer
sity of Texas to the south brought in
renters. Character was replaced by
characters — such as hippies. Fam-
iles moved to the suburbs, but re
turned on Sundays for church.
In the 1970s, there was a renewed
interest in Hyde Park’s unique
homes. People began moving back to
the central city, renovating and
showing off the properties with an
nual spring home tours. Hyde Park
Baptist Church, under the lead
ership of the Rev. Ralph Smith, be
gan to prosper.
The bickering began.
At their simplest, squabbles have
been about parking. Every Sunday is
Easter Sunday in Hyde Park, with a
parade of churchgoers parking
burnper-to-bumper for blocks.
“It’s like an automotive equivalent
of a blood clot,” homeowner Grant
Thomas told the Austin American-
Statesman.
“Frankly, we feel like a lot of it is
anti-church sentiment,” Smith said.
“I have prayed so often. It’s gotten
to the point of not knowing what to
do.”
An entire block is taken up with
the church’s educational buildings,
administrative offices and two sanc
tuaries. Another block is reserved
for parking, including a multi-level
garage. Nearby are two playgrounds
and senior-citizens center.
Church programs include ihox
for international students, food lot
the needy, family counseling, ami
daily hospital visits. It has a sdm>
for kindergarten through M
grade.
“Because God has blessed th
work, the church has grown,'
church business coordinator Dat
Gardner told the newspaper. Bt
do not apologize for this growth."
Impregnation
techniques fail
with Dallas ape
DALLAS (AP) — Jenny, a 31-
year-old lowland gorilla, has
failed a home pregnancy test and
conventional test after attempts
to impregnate her through artifi
cial reproduction techniques.
If she had become pregnant,
Jenny would have been the first
gorilla to conceive with the help
of “test tube” fertilization or sur
rogate parenting techniques de
veloped for use in humans.
“I’m so bummed out about it,"
Naida Loskutoff, a research asso
ciate for the zoo and Texas A&M
University, said Tuesday.
Jenny, a Dallas Zoo gorilla, has
not been able to conceive natu
rally since she first gave bird)
when she was in her teens. Her
sole offspring reached adulthood
but died before reproducing.
A month ago, Loskutoff and a
team that included a human in
fertility specialist and veterinar
ians tried two approaches to im
pregnate Jenny. The attempt was
their fifth —and their second
with Jenny — to achieve a preg
nancy in a gorilla with artificial
reproduction techniques.
After Jenny had been given a
fertility drug for five days, doc
tors removed one of her eggs,
added sperm from one of the
zoo’s male gorillas, OmBom, and
deposited the mixture into one of
her Fallopian tubes.
Into Jenny’s other Fallopian
tube, they placed an egg that had
been fertilized in a laboratory
dish and frozen two months ear
lier. That egg had been removed
from the zoo’s other female,
Demba, and fertilized with sperm
from the zoo’s other male, Fubo.
Loskutoff said she and her col
leagues aren’t sure why Jenny
didn’t become pregnant.
