According to Dr. Gabriel Carranza, director for Mexican and Latin American Pro grams, the three main focuses of the workshops will be agribusi ness; electronics, engineering, and communication; and investment opportunities.The workshops are structured so representatives from Mexican businesses first will be able to talk about the status of Mexican business and possible in vestment opportunities for the United States, then a specialist from A&M will review A&M's ability to help. "A speaker from A&M will dis cuss what we have to offer and try to sell A&M to the Mexican busi ness people," Carranza said. This will be an excellent oppor tunity for A&M to showcase its capabilities, said Dr. Kem Bennet, director of the Texas Engineering Extension Service. "Through this agreement we will be able to work with them in ways to help with privatization," he said. "My interest in the con nection comes from training as it pertains to telecommunications and electronics." Carranza said this arrangement could have excellent benefits for Mexican businesses, but there is also the possibility of positive ef fects for A&M. "There is a lot of potential here as we are exposing A&M to an in ternational arena," he said. "We are hoping that good relations with Mexico will cause other countries to come to A&M for help and hopefully generate mon ey to be used for more research programs at A&M."

The colossal compendium of numerical nuggets known as the .O C4« . "Statistical Abstract of the United States" goes on sale Tuesday. The 979-page paperback includes 1,414 tables of data, weighs 2 pounds 3 ounces and costs $29 from the Government Printing Of fice. That's a big bang for the buck, datawise, providing nearly 49 ta bles per dollar spent. Browsing through that mass of material can be overwhelming, yet the details can provide de lightful diversion. Doctoring dogs, for example, requires 2.4 visits to the veterinar ian annually a cost of $82.86. Car ing for cats, on the other hand, leads to 1.6 vet visits costing $54.26. The numbers come from the American Veterinary Medical As sociation, one of a vast array of government and private sources included in the abstract, which uses the most recent figures avail able. Take the National Sporting Goods Association, for example, which surveys people to learn what sports they participate in. That group found that the most popular exercise was walking, in volving some 71,431,000 people. ^T\ RESEARCH Skin Infection Study VIP Research is seeking individuals 12 years of age or older with uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections.
