Dr. Norman Borlaug, distinguished professor of in ternational agriculture since 1983 and the only agrono mist to win the Nobel Peace Prize, recently was ap pointed to President Bush’s 13-member Council of Advisers on Science and Technology. Borlaug, also known as the “father of the green revo lution” for his notable contributions to wheat crop yields and crop management in underdeveloped coun tries, was appointed to the Council by President Bush. Bush recognized Borlaug for his pioneering efforts in agriculture that have increased food supplies in devel oping nations. Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for simi lar efforts in science and technology, which aided in sta bilizing political unrest. Dr. Harry Cralle, associate professor in the depart ment of soil and crop sciences, said this appointment comes as no surprise to the department. “He is a remarkable man whose work habits are un believable,” he said. “His professional accomplishments are remarkable but to know him is to realize his per sonal attributes exceed all he has done professionally.” Borlaug, 74, has had the opportunity to interact on a personal basis with people in many countries and con tinues to put in 12-hour work days on campus interact ing with visiting scientists and teaching Agronomy 608 — Internationa Agronomy Development. A spokesman from his office said a lot of younger people do not put in the hours he does. Borlaug works for what he believes in, she said. Cralle said agronomy is what Borlaug has believed in ever since he was young and acquired his interest in the field from growing up on his grandfather’s farm in Iowa. He has been dedicated to the field ever since and has even been known, when doing research, to sleep in the field in order to get an early start in the morning. As a newly appointed member of Bush’s panel, Bor laug was informed by the president of his responsibili ties, which include advising the president on such topics as science, technology, research, development and in creasing U.S. competition in global markets. Currently, Borlaug devotes his time to many of these areas. While he is a professor at A&M, he also moon lights as an agronomist at a grain improvement center he helped establish outside Mexico City. His most recent research endeavor involves leading the Sasakawa-Global-2000 agricultural program in sub- Saharan Africa where many have died from drought and famine. Borlaug’s research in Africa focuses on mass producing sorghum, which is used in America to feed livestock, as a cereal grain substitute for human nutrition. Additionally, Borlaug is a distinguished member of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an honor member in the Royal Society of Edinburgh. “It (his appointment and his other efforts) are inspir ing examples that show that a single individual can work hard and change the world for the better,” Cralle said. “By far he deserves this honor.” Eagle, Channel 3 revamp news formats for audiences U.S. economy benefits from foreign aid By PAM MOOMAN Of The Battalion Staff Reducing U.S. foreign aid would not reduce the federal budget deficit, a specialist in in ternational agriculture said Thursday. James Goodwin, coordinator of International Agriculture Pro grams at Texas A&M, said for eign aid actually benefits the United States because about 70 percent of the money spent is re turned to this country in salaries and purchases of U.S. commodi ties. Goodwin spoke as part of a three-member panel discussing the formulation of U.S. foreign aid. The panel discussion was See Panel/Page 10 By SEAN FRERKING Of The Battalion Staff In an age of face-lifts and tummy tucks, even the news media seem to want a new look. The Bryan-College Station Eagle will begin a new format Sunday while KBTX-TV Channel 3, a CBS affiliate, started its alterations in Oc tober. Jeff Braun, KBTX news director, said the changes were made to make the broadcast more accessible to the viewing audience. He said the man agement of the station decided to re fashion their approach to the news. The new set has increased local coverage, highlighted area issues, and made the weather report more cortcise to cover a wider region for KBTX viewers,-Braun said. Technological advancements made the set that KBTX had been using for more than four years stale, Braun said. The old set had to be abandoned because the new equip ment required a new style and a new building. The move to a new location was the culmination of a nine-to-12 month process. In October, the 5 p.m. news was revamped and “First News at Five” premiered. Braun said the show focuses on the local audi ence’s interests and issues from around the area. The new look for the 6:00 p.m. broadcast, which started Monday, is a combination of the best qualities that stations around the country have to offer, Braun said. The updated news program, which is in the Waco-Temple market and serves 16 counties surrounding and including Brazos County, has received a positive response from its viewers, he said. The station still is changing, Braun said, and will continue to alter its program to suit the needs of Channel 3’s viewers. See Local media/Page 10 Alaskan refuge faces danger By TODD L. CONNELLEY Of The Battalion Staff Lenny Kohm is a man with a mission. After spending two years in what is commonly re ferred to as “The Last Great Wilderness,” Kohm is de termined to convince the country that this refuge is in danger. In a multi-projector slide presentation sponsored by the Texas Environmental Action Coalition, the Brazos Sierra Club and the Rio Brazos Audobon Society, Kohm said that the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a fragile land in jeopardy. Located in northeastern Alaska, it is home to bears, arctic fox, snowy owls, tundra swans and countless other species. It’s also home to the Gwich’in, a native tribe that have lived there for over 10,000 years. But now, Kohm said, this fragile land is in jeopardy. “The petroleum industry wants this land,” Kohm said. “If they move in and start developing they will eventually destroy this incredible wilderness. Oil companies are considering converting the ref uge’s coastal plain into an industrial development. Al most all of Alaska’s 1100-mile Arctic coastline is open to development. The coastal plain of the refuge is tne last 125 miles not open to development. Kohm’s slides revealed some of the damage that al ready has occurred in areas that are under devel opment. “Abandoned oil drums are everywhere,” he said. “They are so frequent the natives call them Arctic Dai sies.” He told the crowd of about 50 that companies still emit black smoke from their smokestacks even though See Alaska/Page 10 4 Frid IV ASSC Pury ear’s residents declare wai De tox c By DAPHNE MILLER Of The Battalion Staff Residents of Puryear Hallnj participate Saturday in the do mitory’s annual “War Games.'
