There was a moderate eruption shortly before 9 a.m., and then a much stronger blast that sent a plume 37,000 feet into the air about an hour later, said Tom Miller of the Alaska Volcano Observatory. The mountain was quiet after the second burst, but light ash still was reported falling at mid-afternoon. Most of the ash from the second eruption headed east-northeast to ward the Nikiski area of the Kenai Peninsula. A light coating of ash, however, was reported more than 100 miles away at Elmendorf Air Force Base, in portions of downtown Anchorage and at Eagle River, about 10 miles north of Anchorage. “We’ve got everything parked in side,” Sgt. Dave Haulbrook, an El mendorf spokesman, said of the air craft on the base. “We’ve got ash falling on the snow now. “A big cloud moved over. Nothing fell out of it. After it passed, ash started falling.” “We’ll leave the F-15s in the sheds until we can determine there’s no more danger or until we have to fly,” Haulbrook said. Some flights were canceled or di verted at Anchorage International Airport, but operations were contin uing, said Marsha Sampson, a spokeswoman. Pedestrians were seen wearing scarves over their faces in downtown Anchorage, and Anchorage Police issued masks and air filters for pa trol cars. “That’s just for those whose cars suddenly need a filter change, and for anyone having to work outside,” said police department spokesman Walt Monegan. “From all indications, it looks like it was a short burst,” said Dave Mc Dowell, with the state Division of Emergency Services in Wasilla. “Ash was reported at the Eklutna Fish Hatchery. Two generator units were shut down at Beluga” across the Cook Inlet from Anchorage. The Drift River Oil Terminal was evacuated as a precaution, he said. Superior Court Judge Karl Johnstone, expressing concern that jurors wouldn’t be able to get home because of limited driving visibility, recessed the criminal trial of Exxon Valdez skipper Jopseph Hazelwood two hours early. Lunch (Continued from page 1) get when they came to A&M,” Clay ton said. Clayton said one of the concerns of the committee is to make sure that, in the midst of A&M becoming world-renowned in research, the un dergraduate program continues its tradition of excellence. Some student members of the committee are in agreement that their voices are being heard. “I’ve been really impressed by the sincere interest of the Board of Re gents and the administration about student concerns,” said Matt Poling, Corps Commander. “I think the in put of the students is definitely be ing heard.” Beth Ammons, vice president for programs of Student Government, agrees with Poling and thinks the committee is a positive first step. “My concern is for this interest to continue,” she said. Ammons said students on the committee take their jobs seriously and have done research on student concerns to ensure that they are be ing represented. She said four stu dent issues being presented to the Board of Regents on Wednesday are an extension of the Q-drop date, more funding for the liberal arts de- artment, problems some students ave understanding foreign profes sors and concerns students have with the library. Jason Wilcox, president of the MSC Council, saia he wanted stu dents to know that if they have con cerns, they can contact student gov ernment so the concerns can be channeled to the Board of Regents. “This is a great opportunity for students to add input and not seem overt,” Wilcox said. “Students can voice concerns and do it diplomati cally.” Although students at Sbisa were not flocking to speak with members of the committee, the ones that did stop to chat were welcomed. Jason Jackson, senior business analysis and food science technology major at A&M, spoke with President Mobley during his lunch break. “I think it’s a big first step forward when they can come and have lunch with the students,” Jackson said. “I think they are willing to make some changes, but I question if the bu reaucracy is ready.” Drugs (Continued from page 3) school in the Brazos County — ap proximately 15 schools. Phone numbers of rehabilitation centers will be given to the elemen tary students so they know about available help, he said. “We will talk to these kids through direct and positive communication, but we will talk to them as if this is their challenge not to do drugs and that the choice is only their own,” he said. Russell said he hopes they will help the kids know and understand their friends better in order to know if their friends are getting involved with drugs. This program also is aimed at helping the children realize they will have to face the pressure to use drugs when they get older, he said. Interviews (Continued from page 3) the company interviewing you. For example, point out that certain classes you took fit well with what the company needs. • Show some personality and spark in your interview. • Show maturity — be realistic in your goals. • Tell the interviewers about your educational experiences; ex plain grade-point deficiencies if nec essary. Study (Continued from page 1) have the “party school” image that other schools do. The majority of Texas A&M stu dents surveyed accurately predicted that between 11 and 20 percent of their peers smoke marijuana. Also, the percentage of students who have never smoked a cigarette is down to 50 percent in the 1989 study, from 57 percent in the 1988 study. Students surveyed also viewed cig arettes as more harmful than mari juana, 56 percent to 53 percent. But • Interviewers may use tactics to put you under stress, but try to keep your cool; they just want to see how you react to certain situations. • Ask them questions at the end of the interview; it shows them you have interest in the company. Knapp gave other specific tips, such as if the interviewer asks for tne amount of income desired, an ap propriate response is: “Money isn’t everything to me — I’m looking for opportunities.” Near the close of the workshop, they perceived “hard” drugs as the most dangerous health risk, 65 per cent. According to the study, 4 percent of students surveyed, or more than 1,400 at A&M, reported having used “hard” drugs, defined as ampheta mines, downers, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and hallucinogens, in the past year. This number agrees with students’ perceptions of “hard” drug use at A&M. The opinion of those surveyed was that from 1 to 10 per cent of their peers use “harder” drugs. “We have less of a hard-drug Thursday, March 1,199G What’s Up Thursday KAMU FM 90.9: will have a special broadcast of the classical music of India at 8 p.m. CLASS MEETINGS: at 7 p.m. in Rudder.

Knapp went through a mock inter view with one of the students. She used the interview to show some of the do’s and don’ts of interviewing. Marc Carroll, chairman of MBA- /Law, said he would like to see the committee sponsor the program on an annual basis. “The possibilities for this program are incredible,” Carroll said. “We could have more speakers, including graduate and professional school re cruiters, and advertise to attract more students.” Gorillas (Continued from page 3) carnivore complex, a North Arac can exhibit, and a gorilla house.

The center’s next survey will be in conjunction with the Graduate Stu dent Council and will measure drug use among graduate students at A&M, Reardon said. But first, the council must raise funds for the pro posed study. He also expressed in terest in measuring drug use among groups such as the Corps, Greek or ganizations, A&M faculty and staff.
