International learning project announced U.S. Rep. jack Fields, R- Texas, answers a question Fri day during a press conference where the announcement was made that Prairie View A&M University and COMSAT Cor poration will be joint partici pants in a long-distance learn ing project involving two countries in Africa.

TCA to air Science Fiction channel TCA Cable announced late last week that it would begin offering the Science-Fiction channel to its customers, start ing Tuesday at 6 a.m. "The Sci-Fi channel has been the channel most requested by our customers," said Randy Rogers, TCA manager. "I am very excited about the addition of the Sci-Fi channel to the ca ble system." The Sci-Fi channel will broadcast over channel 31 on the cable system. It takes over the channel previously occu pied by Headline News, which moves to channel 13. The following channel changes are effective as of Tuesday: From IQ KXXV ch. 3 KTVT ch. 2 WGN ch. 9 KTRK ch. 13 B-CS information ch. 11 ch. 9 ch. 11 ch. 2 ch. 3 ch. 3 Angel Kan/THL Battalion Dr. Malon Southerland, interim vice president for student services, hopes to open the communication lines between students and the administra tion by carrying on the long standing A&M tradition of inviting fresh men to lunch. "Input from students has been valued for a long time at A&M," said Southerland, who held his first freshmen luncheon last week. "It is important that all levels of the organization at A&M receiveona regular basis: information, ideas and corrective criticism from the students, who are the people re ceiving services." Southerland plans to hold a freshmen luncheon once every two weeks. He said he decided to hold the luncheons as the inter im vice president and not wait until next semester because he wanted to get their feedback about the University. "It is important because it af fects freshmen who won't be fresh men very long," he said. "Receiv ing their reactions to A&M is im portant. It is important to interact with the freshmen and receive their advice and input. "I hope after the luncheons, freshmen will feel it is possible to approach faculty and staff at University when they have a prob lem or need assistance," he said. Southerland recently ran an ad vertisement in The Battalion ask ing freshmen to notify his office if they wanted an invitation to lunch. He also invites freshmen to lunch based on mother's clubs recom mendations, word-of-mouth, and from among cards freshmen filled out at the MSC Open House. Brad Russell and Cliff Mur phy. Class of '97, said they hope to attend one of the luncheons.
