"ThQ hat wi lly — i the ii ates a: terest /odd." “Selection is now based mostly on academic excellence,” Golsan said. “But there will be other factors, too. One goal of modifying the program is to expand its base to include inter national studies majors, among others.” T.W. Sloan, a senior biology major who participated in the program in 1994, said he is concerned about the program’s future, espe cially if the administration decides to make the students pay for their visit to Normandy. “They may make this another study abroad program,” Sloan said. “But no one will pay $6,000 to study World War II. “When students receive the scholarship, they are expected to do more; to put their heart and soul into it. I do not see that hap pening with people who are paying for the program.” Danny Fletcher, a senior in the Corps of Cadets, participated in the program during the fall of 1994. His group traveled to Nor mandy in November. “It was a true intellectual pleasure to have a semester devoted exclusively to one topic,” Fletcher said. “I now know more about the military, social and political aspects of the war. The program is a benefit to (both the) students and to A&M. It shows that A&M is a world-class university.” A&M’s Normandy Scholars Program was named after Army Lt. Gen. James Earl Rudder. Fletcher said that once while visiting Nor mandy, he saw a memorial dedicated to Rud der and the ranger unit he commanded dur ing the D-Day invasion that took place there on June 6, 1944. “Rudder was one of the greatest presidents at A&M,” Fletcher said. “He is, for me, a sym bol of what A&M is about: accomplishment and vision. He was a respected man.” Sloan said the Normandy program had an immense affect on his life. “Since I have been through the pro gram,” Sloan said, “I relate everything to World War II. That is like something my grandparents would do. I now have an idea of what they went through.” Thursday MAES: Rex Saoit from iwlett-Packard will speak on wor Networking”.
