House wants promises met
before funding continues
WASHINGTON (AP) — Citing an “ever-
lengthening string of broken promises" by the
Energy Department, a group of congressmen is
urging the House Appropriations Committee to
put the brakes on spending for the $8.25 billion
super collider.
In a letter to the chairman of the appropriations
subcommittee on energy and water development,
44 House members suggest Congress withhold
further spending on the collider until DOE lines
up foreign contributors and “delivers on its prom
ises to limit the project's total federal costs."
President Bush is seeking $534 million for the
collider in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. Ad
ministration officials have warned that a failure to
set aside those funds could cause costly delays
and threaten foreign contributions to the project,
being built in Ellis County.
In their letter to Rep. Tom Bevill, D-Ala., the
congressmen complain that while the DOE con
tinues to assert mat foreign contributions will
cover a significant portion of the costs of the SSC,
“virtually no foreign contributions have been
forthcoming."
The congressmen also complain that while the
House voted to cap federal spending on the col
lider at $5 billion, the Energy Department has re-
estimated the cost to the federal government at
$5,649 billion. Because the Senate never approved
the legislation setting the $5 billion cap, it did not
become law.

tries to meet as marly people as
he can.
"I like to be able to service and
to help people," he said. "W-
hether it is a student, a staff
member or parent."
Koldus belongs to many pro
fessional organizations and has
received many other awards for
his service to A&M and the com
munity.
His other honors include the

"Anyone who is saying that
the bill promotes promiscuity is
a fool," she said.
In response to criticism against
the bill, she said it is ridiculous
to believe if the University hands
out condoms that it coerces stu
dents to have sex.
Herren supported the purpose
of the bill, but added that $3.3
million was too much when col
lege classes are being cut be
cause of lack of state funding.
Since the Health Education
Center was founded one year
ago, the AIDS council, an A&M
Student Services organization,
has increased awareness about
STDs to students, Herren said.
"Over the last year we have
had so much contact with stu
dents," she said.
The center recently began a

"We wanted to become in
volved in our world and the in
ternational community at
A&M," she said. "Most of us
had already known international
students, and we were already
members of ISA. So we just
formed our own organization."
Bolick said some activities of
the United Student Association
include volunteering in ISS,
helping during orientation of in
ternational students and acting
as English-As-A-Second Lan
guage partners for international
students taking classes at the En
glish Language Institute.
Bolick also is a student worker
in the Office of Assistant Provost
for International Programs,
where she has been employed
for more than a year.
Besides helping with any daily
activities in the office, Bolick also
works with an international
housing apartment program for
visiting scholars and professors
and helps coordinate any confer
ences or special projects.
In addition to her job and her
involvement in ISA, Bolick is a
member of the international
honor society. Phi Beta Delta.
"My entire focus is interna
tional," she said. "By working in
an international office, by being
a U.S. student and citizen partic
ipating in international events
and by volunteering in ISA, I
have tried to get involved in ev
ery aspect of international stu
dent life."
Bolick said her involvement in
these different areas also gives
her a view of what she wants to
do after graduation.
She said some options she is
considering include joining the
Peace Corps, teaching English in

Bolick said she does not forsee
any problems with being the first

student.
"Everyone has been open and
excited about this new angle
given to the ISA," she said.
"This is a new option we are
to try and build on to open
