warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
Regardless of party, the painful
lessons of Vietnam echo loudly for
many.
"I keep wondering 'Is this the
beginning of a repeat performance
like Vietnam?' " asked Rep. Sam
ohnson, R-Dallas, an Air Force pi
lot who spent seven years as a Viet-
year.

"It's impossible for me to be
lieve that so close after Vietnam ...
that we would forget the lesson we
supposedly learned there, that is:
Don't get in unless you have a stat
ed reason and go in to win," said
Johnson, who was one of a stream
of lawmakers who took to the
House floor to voice their concerns
about the growing quagmire.
The televised images of a bat
tered and frightened Army heli
copter pilot "tore my heart out,"
said Johnson, who is leaning in fa
vor of a withdrawal of U.S. forces.
Another decorated Vietnam vet
eran who represents Texas in Con
gress, ex-Marine Frank Tejeda, has
his questions as well about the U.S.
role in Somalia, which originated
last December as a humanitarian
mission, making sure food supplies
got to starving Somalis.
"If we have a mission to accom
plish, let's get in there with maxi
mum manpower ... kick some butt
and get out," the San Antonio De
mocrat said, adding that U.S.
troops should remain there only if
it has vital interests to protect.
Expansion
Continued from Page 1
Texas Avenue currently has
37,000 average daily motorists, and
in 20 years, an estimated 48,000
motorists daily will use the street.
"This is the most heavily trav
eled section of roadway in the 9
surrounding counties that make up
this district," said Bob Appleton,
advance planning engineer for the
Bryan district of tYie TxDOT.
The expansion will begin 700
feet north of University Drive and
continue to 400 feet south of Do-
minik Street. The estimated cost of
the project is $2.5 million and is be
ing funded by state and federal
monies.
The project will begin in late
summer 1994 and will take about
two years to complete. The con
struction will cause some problems
with traffic, but plans will be estab
lished to help ease the congestion.
"It (the construction) will be an
inconvenience to motorists," said
Denise Fischer, public affairs offi
cer for the TxDOT. "We would be
fooling ourselves if we said it
wasn't. We hope to make it as
minimal as possible."
Fischer said two lanes of traffic
would be open at all times, and the
contractors would not work on
days when there would be high
Holocaust
Continued from Page 1
Kristallnacht was the climax of
this outrageous period in history.
The largest concentration camp
of jews was located in Auschwitz,
Poland. In 1944, more than 15,000
Jews were brought in every day
on trains to the camp, killed in gas
chambers and burned in cremato
riums.
The Holocaust finally ended
when the Germans lost the war in
May of 1945.
Throughout the entire Holo
caust, more than six million Jews
perished in death camps.
Eighteen students are currently
enrolled in Dr. Krammer's class
and said they find it both tragic
and horrifying.
Derek LeCroy, Class of '94, his
tory major, said, "This is a very
interesting class, but at the same
time very sickening."
"You desensitize yourself to
the grossness and you take a sci
entific perspective about the
class," he said.
LeCroy said the class constant
ly reminds him of the inhumanity
of the acts.
Rachel Brown, senior history
major, said she enjoys participat
ing within the intense class dis
cussions.

Other amenities are included
with the proposal. A pedestrian
walkway, a lighted bicycle path, a
jogging path, and a bus lane are
planned along with the expansion.
A noise wall will also be construct

raised median will separate traffic
and help improve safety, officials
said.
"The project is being designed
to also enhance traffic safety," said
Tony Arredondo, deputy district

esting, you always hear what the
Jewish people went through, but
to actually go through all of the
details, it is really unbelievable,"
Brown said.
The professor said he enjoys
teaching the class just as much the
students enjoy learning the mater
ial.
"It has been as much as an
awakening to the students as it
has been for me," Krammer said.
Krammer said he wants his
students to come out of the class
with a more broad mind, to be
more tolerant to others and to be
less biased and bigoted.
"The students are learning more
than just history, they are learning
about good and evil," he said.
