iinding: Committee searches new areas for financial assistance
alii? ntinued from Page 1
Hill said he understands why A&M can no
acting & er fund the program as it has in the past,
'ison to Bracher said A&M has many choices about
ket in : ^ it w iU fund the program.
•This is ultimately an administrative ded
al mos’ 11 anc ^ ^ f® nc> t iu my hands,” Bracher said,
id it owever, some support does remain. Hous-
ise tha P n Noimiandy will remain available.
-)d this' There will still be significant support of-
an ei 'ed to students for the study abroad compo-
lill in[ n t- TT® support may not be picked up like
was in the past when all the expenses were
otary lid, but it is likely that significant support
ed re; H ! remain.”
why Bracher said the committee will also re-
]g 0 p ( ew which courses the program will offer,
tie imp ^t the study abroad portion of the program
| ns te a ;lH include and the type of students the pro-
iporj. •am will recruit.
;U |j ()r Golsan said the committee will look into
.(| | i roadening the program so it will include a
anese ider range of students.

“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.”
