High school students
'test drive' the Corps
By Jennifer Smith
The Battalion
Seventy-three high school students from San Antonio got to "test
drive" the Corps of Cadets this weekend in a recruitment program that
tries to show students what life in the Corps is like.
The Spend the Night with the Corps program lets high school stu
dents to spend a weekend on the Quadrangle with an outfit of the
Corps and attend functions such as Yell Practice and a Corps forma
tion.
Capt. Robert Campbell, assistant to the Corps Commandant, said
most of the students who participate in the program are already in
terested in attending A&M, but they are not sure if they want to join
the Corps.
"If we can get them to see what Corps life is
like beforehand, we can usually retain them.'
- Capt. Robert Campbell,
assistant to the Corps Commandant
"This program gives students a head start/' Gampbt
majority that get in the program are good students who really want to
come here."
Campbell said the fact that A&M is the third largest university sys
tem in the country might scare students off, but this program eases
their fears.
"When they get here, they see how nice people are and they are not
as scared," he said.
Campbell said 21 females participated in this weekend's program.
"Female recruiting in the Corps is something we have focused on," he
said. "We find that most who are interested and get here do pretty well."
The Spend the Night with the Corps program is also conducted on
an individual basis throughout the year. Cadets can arrange to have a
high school student visit them and see what life is like in the Corps.
This program usually culminates with the larger version once a se
mester.
Campbell said the Spend the Night with the Corps program helps
retention rates within the Corps.
"If we can get them to see what Corps life is like beforehand, we can
usually retain them," Campbell said. "It's not such a shock."
Campbell said the students were given a tour of the campus from
the Visitor's Center. They also attended programs on admission and
financial aid, met with their perspective college, and toured the Bon
fire site.

Highway organization to research vehicles
By James Bernsen
The Ba itauon
More than 200 experts in transportation
are meeting at Texas A&M University this
week to discuss work on Intelligent Vehicle
Highway Systems (IVHS) and to lay the
foundations for a new organization, IVHS
Texas.
Dr. Dennis Christiansen, associate director
of A&M's Texas Transportation Institute
(TTI), said the new organization will allow
for a sharing of new developments, both pub
lic and private.
"IVHS America was created several years
ago, and IVHS Texas was encouraged by it,"
he said.
Christiansen said TTI has been a leader in
research and instrumental in creating the
new organization.
Dick McCasland, a research engineer at
TTI, said the conference will put new re
search into perspective, and separate science
fiction from reality.
"The automated highway isn't here," he
said. "We'll learn a lot about it, but I don't
think we'll see it in my lifetime."
McCasland said many advances have been
made, such as automatic breaking systems,
which will function much like the cruise con
trol devices now in operation.
"But in terms of sitting back in your car,
pushing the destination and getting there, I
don't think so," he said.
McCasland said one of the most promising
technologies is the use of satellite transmis
sion and location to accurately pinpoint vehi
cle which could be shown on a display of a
digitalized urban area map.
"It's a question of cost versus demand," he
said. "We just don't have the kind of infra
structure we need in place to produce it."
Christiansen said the new organization
will lay the foundation for further research tc
make such technologies'feasible.
The conference will also discuss ways tc
make traffic run more efficiently, with im
proved traffic light systems, he said.
"An efficient traffic system reduces waste
of gas and reduces pollution too," Chris
tiansen said.
The conference begins Monday and lasts
through Wednesday.

The university said his mes
sages strayed from any educa

UTD says the matter is simple:
Steshenko broke the rules that
limit the use of Internet to ex
changes related to coursework.
His postings make liberal use
of terms such as ''holhol/' which
many Ukrainians regard as a
racial epithet; have compared the
official Ukrainian national sym
bol — the trident — to a sexual
device; and have implied a ho
mosexual relationship between
Russian President Boris Yeltsin
and Ukraine President Leonid
Kravchuk.
Provocative language is not
unusual on the network, and
when it comes to politics, the
usual policy is “anything goes/'
says John Harlan, of Oxford,
Ohio. Harlan is the manager of
the Russian and Ukrainian elec
tronic mailing lists that Stesh
enko focuses on.
Steshenko says the universi

his political discussions make him
a better student, and notes that
other students use the network for
“news group" discussions of
everything from Haiti to sex.
