Vol.92 N Fo Aggie Man and wounding 12 Soma It was the first daytime raid after three straight nights of deadly al tacks by U.N.-led forces avenging the June 5 deaths of 23 Pakisti troops in battles with Somali gunmen. Meanwhile, a U.N. special envoy said an independent investigate was ordered into the shooting deaths Sunday of 14 Somali civiliansh Pakistani soldiers. The target of the U.N. attacks, warlord Mohamed Farrah AidkU cused the United Nations of “totalitarian motivations" and repeated df mands for the Security Council to convene a special session on the crisis But a senior Pentagon official, speaking on condition of anonymiti said intermittent strikes against Aidid's forces will continue. The violence is the worst since foreign troops arrived in Somalia o: Dec. 9 in what was to be a mission dedicated to protecting famine ret; supplies. On Monday morning, two explosions rocked Mogadishu, and Co bras circled over the neighborhood where the BM21 122mm weaponsi behind the walls of a compound.

THE By Sergio Rosas Library s Continued from Page 1 Fire Continued from Page 1 counterparts, Tim Pfannstiel, full-time instructor and assistant training specialist, said women have seri ous physical barriers to overcome. "The average woman does not have the physical strength to perform the tasks that are required of firefighters," he said. "I've noticed that they have particular difficulty lifting and carrying the ladders and working the hoses. They lack the upper body strength that men have." Pfannstiel said he is against court-orders mandat ing women be hired as firefighters. "I feel that there are some women who have been let in certain fire departments who should not have been," he said. "Some of these women are handi caps to their departments, especially those who have been hired as a result of quotas, because they aren't always as qualified as they should be." Smith said she sometimes feels as though she will never be equal, or taken as seriously as the men, but Kurt Bower, assistant training specialist and group leader for shipboard firefighters said he envisions a time when women will be as accepted as men. "I believe that someday it will be different," he said. "The biggest problem is overcoming the way things have always been done. Once the Nean derthals get past the idea that women can't do the job, and find out what women can do, they'll find out that women are viable people to have around." and staff, the provost, the dean of faculties and other faculty mem bers across campps.

Adair said that the committee is not looking only at people asso ciated with the University. "We are conducting a nation wide search for the best candidate we can find," he said. But Crow said that he hopes that the new athletic director will hold a deep respect for the Uni versity and its athletic traditions, whether they come from within the University or outside of it. "I wouldn't want to narrow it down like that (to people affilia: ed with the university)," Cro: said. "I do hope they will hat some feeling and enthusias: about Texas A&M." Crow resigned to avoid [ ble conflicts of interest because o! his business dealings withtkf Gulf Greyhound Park in Lamaf que, Texas, and one of its genera partners, Paul Bryant Jr., sonn former Texas A&M football coac Paul "Bear" Bryant.

BioLogica Research Group, Inc. 776-0400 Market Continued from Page 1 "A lot of the growth is coming from small entrepreneurial firms, and they just don't have the time or money to visit schools," he said. "They (graduates) have to take more chances and maybe go with a smaller company where the risks are higher." Dr. Leigh Turner, director of A&M's Career Center, said A&M still has a job placement rate of about 85 percent, but students are getting fewer interviews than they have in the past. "We've seen a 10 percent drop in recruiting visits just like other schools have,"she said. "Students are having to look longer or set their sights lower." Turner said this obviously frustrates some students. "Students are saying this is what I prepared for for four years," she said. Trermepohl also said it is more difficult for students to find a job than it has been in the past. "I think in the past we were spoiled because we didn't have to look for jobs," he said. "They (graduates) have to work a lot harder than they did in the past." A&M graduates have an ad vantage over graduates from oth er schools,Trennepohl said. "Other schools with less of a reputation than A&M aren't get ting any recruiters," he said. "We're still on that list of schools that recruiters are coming to." Jean Raniseski, director of un dergraduate advising for the Col lege of Liberal Arts, said many graduates will discover they have to lower their job expectations in order to get a job. "It's taking them about six months or so to find a job," she said. "Graduates are having to Ulcer Studies Do you have stomach pain? Indigestion? Heartburn? Perhaps we could help!

Raniseski said graduates wifi usually change jobs a few time: and get settled after two or three years. "Once they get their foot in the door, it's up to them to prove themselves," she said. Trermepohl said students don't have the best grades can in crease their chances of getting job by getting involved in activi ties. "All the firms want the idea person who has a good grade point and was in 10,000 organiza tions," Trermepohl said. "But re cruiters tend to look at the whole person. "The good students tend to jobs." Raniseski said having experi ences outside of school and lead ership abilities will give students an edge in their job search. But she said the best advice she could give students is to network. "Use all the available contacts you can think of," Raniseski said "There are opportunities avail able." Raniseski said most of the stu dents she deals with have man) opportunities available to them and don't have to move back to their parent's home. "The majority of students have some place to go," she said. HOUSTC nally, a lege linked to th and killed ago in Dalla Connally Methodist breathing c been treatii plicated by pulmonary lung tissue.
