The Battalion
Students from Mexico have
een touring the Texas A&M cam-
ms this week and their Russian
unterparts arrived Wednesday
part of a sister cities program
sponsored by the Association of
nternational Sister Cities, which
tablishes ties between cities
cross the world to promote citi-
:en diplomacy.
Ten students ages 15 to 23 and
o teachers from General
hiazua, Mexico, about 20 miles
icrtheast of Monterey in the state
ifNuevo Leon are visiting Bryan-
bllege Station. Zuazau is a sister
jty to both Bryan and College
tetion.
Mike Manson, associate profes-
of biology and coordinator of
program, said the students

were not chosen for the program
on the basis of academics.
A second group of high school
and college age students are
from Kazan, Bryan and College
Station's sister city in Russia,
Manson said.
Kazan is about 300 miles east of
Moscow, in the semi-autonomous
Tartar Republic within Russia, he
said.
While in town, the students
from Mexico have taken the A&M
Traditions Tour, visited the Sam
Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets
Center and learned about the aca
demic offerings of the University.
Manson said that the reaction
to A&M was positive.
"Two of the younger students
even said they would like to at
tend A&M," Manson said.
The sister city relationships
were established between 1989
and 1993.
A&M has an agricultural pro
ject in Kazan, which led to the es
tablishment of that relationship,
and the relationship with Zuazau
was suggested to Bryan-College
Station by Jose Montemayor, of
Jose's Restaurant in Bryan, who is
originally from Zuazua.
Toni Cisneros, Bryan director
of Parks and Recreation, said the
program helps people from di
verse cultures learn communica
tion, which he says is getting to
know people.
"The beauty is that people can
come and see how alike they real
ly are," Cisneros said.
The students from Russia will
be staying here for a month, he
said.
Cisneros said the relationship
may help begin commerce be
tween Bryan-College Station and
the foreign cities, especially with
the attraction of A&M and its
available technology
"There's also the understand
ing of each other's traditions and
customs," Cisneros said.
The students are staying with
families in the B-CS area.
The visits from Zuazua and
Kazan will only overlap for one
day, and a Chili Supper is
planned to allow the students to
meet and learn about each other's
culture, Manson said.
"Next year, we're hoping to get
a grant from the National Geo
graphic Society," Manson said.
"We want to have a three-way re
lationship in which the Russians
come here, for example, then go to
Mexico."
Manson said such a program
would be the first in the country.
Cisneros said one or two trips
are made each year under the pro
gram, and the mayors of both
cities have also come to B-CS.

Correction
On Tuesday, Aug. 3 The Battalion incorrectly reported that
Irene Hoadley resigned from her position as Evan's Library di
rector last year to head A&M's capital campaign, referred to as
the "Capture the Spirit" Campaign. Hoadley resigned as direc
tor to head the library's fundraising efforts in the "Capturing the
Spirit" Campaign. Jim Palincsar of the Texas A&M Develop
ment Foundation is campaign director.
Also on Tuesday The Battalion incorrectly reported in the Fi
nance Tips section that because of the Truth in Savings Act, if a
customer slips just below the minimum balance required for the
month for only a few days, a fee is permitted. But if a customer
slips below the minimum for only a few days, they cannot be
charged any low balance fees or they will lose all their interest
for the month.
The Battalion regrets the errors.
