WASH INGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush asked Congress on
Monday to increase NASA’s 1991
budget by 17.5 percent, including
money for a start on his plan to
send astronauts back to the moon
and, later, to Mars.
NASA would be authorized to
spend $14.1 billion irf the fiscal
year beginning Oct. 1, an increase
of $2.1 billion over this fiscal
year.
The space agency’s spending
authority — different from the
one-year budget in that authority
indudes money for projects that
wouldn’t be completed and paid
for until later years — would rise
by 24 percent, from $12.3 billion
to $15.1 billion.
The president’s request to Con
gress “demonstrates the adminis
tration’s continued strong sup
port for NASA and the civil space
station,” NASA administrator
Richard H. Truly said in a pre
pared statement.
“It reflects the president’s be
lief that investment in space
yields substantial benefits — vas
tly expanding scientific knowl
edge, developing valuable new
tecnnology and, especially impor
tant, lifting the dreams, imagina
tion and spirit of our nation.”
A major beneficiary would be
the manned space station, which
thp United States hopes to have in
orbit late in the decade. Authority
for the station would increase
from $1.7 billion to $2.4 billion as
the project moves from design to
the fabrication stage. The first
construction flight is scheduled
for the spring of 1995.
Bicycles
(Continued from page l)
Center computer system after regis
tration.
The computer allows police offi
cers from around the nation to iden
tify stolen bikes and return them to
their owners.
Officer Betty LeMay, from the
CPU, said bikes from the A&M cam
pus have been recovered as far away
as Arizona.
The control stickers also permit
police to apprehend suspected bicy
cle thieves. The reflectors are con
clusive evidence of ownership of bi
cycles, Kretzschmar said.
Many students on campus often
give a criminal ample opportunity to
steal their personal belongings, he
said.
“What concerns us is that people
aren’t locking their bikes up or using
the bike racks, or are using the
wrong type of bike locks,” Kretzs
chmar said.
LeMay said she could recall many
stories where students had left their
bicycles unattended for a few min
utes, only to return to find that their
hikes were missing.
Suspects have been found carry
ing bolt cutters in their backpacks,
Kretzschmar said. He said the crimi
nals use the bolt cutters to cut
through cheap, weak bike locks.
Kretzschmar said bicycle owners
who live on campus should use the
bike racks and purchase tough, cast-
hardened steel locks. The new U-
type locks can withstand 42-inch bolt
cutters and about 30 minutes of vig
orous abuse from a hacksaw and a
hammer.
Bicycle owners who live off cam
pus should put their bikes inside-
their homes at night, Kretzschmar
said.
Out of about 275 bicycles stolen
last year, only 29 were recovered.
However, with the new sticker pro
gram, fewer bikes may be stolen and
more should be recovered, Kretzsch
mar said.
He said many recovered bikes are
not reclaimed because they do not
have any identifying marks. When
the bikes are found they are taken to
the police station. If they do not
have any identifying marks, the bicy
cles cannot be returned to their own-
Students who try to claim their bi
cycles need to bring some type of
identification to the police office.
Kretzschmar said students should
have serial numbers engraved on the
frames of their bicycles or obtain
registration stickers. All unclaimed
bicycles are stored in a room at the
police office.
Kretzschmar said the storage
room at UPD is presently so full the-
officers cannot open the door to put
any more recovered bicycles inside.
After a year, the unclaimed bicy
cles are sold for about 50 cents to
$50 at an auction at Rudder foun
tain. No date has been announced
for the auction, but the event is
usually held during the spring.
Police also are trying to publicize
the laws cyclists should follow.
Kretzschmar said there had been
several accidents involving bicycles,
and the majority of these mishaps
were the result of students breaking
the bike laws.
He said bicycles must be operated
in accordance with the Texas Motor
Vehicle Laws. For example, cyclists
must stop at stop signs. And, if rid
ing bikes at night, they need a bright
front light and a red reflector on the
back of the bike.
LeMay said riding against traffic
is also illegal.
She said students could be fined
up to $50 for breaking these laws.
She also said the Bryan and College
Station police departments strictly
enforce bicycle regulations.
Kretzschmar said Aggie Watch
should provide the A&M campus
with an abundance of good informa
tion about security and the preven
tion of theft. He stressed the impor
tance of the prevention of crime and
said if the criminal is not given the
opportunity, he can’t commit the
crime.
Kretzschmar and LeMay will an

vention and security at 845-8900.

should be equal and most are not
equal right now.”
Freeman said many American
corporations send inexperienced,
untried executives to their offices in
foreign countries, and this sends a
bad message to executives from
those nations.
“Japanese executives say the
United States has made foreign com
panies a dumping ground for sec
ond-class executives,” she said. “But
now American companies are train
ing the best and brightest for over
seas companies.”
Freeman, who won the 1989
Small Businessperson of the Year
Award from the Sales and Market
ing Executives of Dallas, said there
are unlimited opportunities for
small businesses in Japan.
Freeman urged the business stu
dents to take advantage of the global
economic opportunities in Canada,
Europe and especially Japan.
“They (Japanese) are very con
cerned about the trade imbalance,”
Freeman said. “They want to help
us. There is no reason to fear being
in the Japanese market.”
Career week
(Continued from page 1)
stay for several days, most booths
will be manned by new companies
each day, he said.
A Student Leadership Reception
was held Monday for company re
cruiters and outstanding business
students from 26 student organiza
tions on campus.
Students will have another chance
to talk with company recruiters at a 7
p.m. banquet Tuesday at the Hilton.
Close to 900 people are expected
to attend the banquet, where each
company will have two officials at a
table. Students buy tickets to sit at
the table of the company they’re in
terested in. There should be 75 to 80
company tables, Zimmerman said.
Fort Worth Mayor Bob Bolen will
be guest speaker. Awards will be
given to outstanding students.
“The primary purpose is that stu
dents can have dinner with officials
of the company they’ve chosen,”
Zimmerman said.
A Minority Student Breakfast will
be at 7 a.m. Wednesday at the Hil
ton.
“Many companies are making an
active effort to hire more minority
students,” Zimme.rman said.
The Business Student Council
also sponsors luncheons each day for
company recruiters to give them a
chance to relax. He said the lun
cheons are in the Kyle Field press
box and are available in two shifts so
that a company official always will be
at a booth.
More than 300 student volunteers
worked on 13 committees to make
Business Career Week happen, Zim
merman said.
This job fair gives students a
chance to meet recruiters, whether
they’re seniors looking for jobs or ju
niors looking for summer work or
internships, he said.
“It helps students in the decision
making process,” he said.
Much information is provided
about different kinds of companies,
he said.
But Business Career Week also is
an educational experience for the
students who put it on, Zimmerman
said.
Communication, planning, dele
gating, evaluating and budgeting
skills are used, he said.
“All kinds of business skills and
Knowledge learned in the classroom
are put to work in putting this fair
together,” he said.
Symposiums will be all day today.

the Business Student Council in 101
Blocker, or call 845-1320.
