BISD
Continued from Page 1
Mike Kristynik, executive
director of planning and opera
tions for BISD, said the task
force should have a proposal to
present to the schools district’s ;
; Board of Trustees by June 19.
Becky Nugent, director of !
communications for BISD, said
it is necessary to set the objec-
tives in order of importance.
“Prioritizing is like sending
a list to Santa Claus,” Nugent |
: said. "You put what you really :
want at the top of the list.
We’ve gone back to the draw
ing board and are asking the
: community what to do.”
Dr. Arnold Oates, a senior i
lecturer in A&M’s Department :
of Educational Administra- ;
I tion, stood in as chairman of
the meeting.
Oates said the task force
: gives citizens the ability to
voice their opinions.
“The purpose of the Facili-
: ties Task Force is to deter-
: mine the needs of Bryan ISD
by the citizens, and then
come up with the best ways
to handle those needs and
: determine what will have to
! be paid for them,” he said, “I
just want what is best for
the kids in Bryan.”
Corps
Continued from Page 1
Fred Brown, president of the
Texas A&M/Bryan-College Sta
tion Council, said that the mem
bers’ variety is essential to the
program’s success.
“Because of that diversity, you
have so many different opinions
and so many walks of life that
their input and output will al
ways be different,” Brown said.
“Each of these members has a
sphere of influence that is
unique to their business. So in
stead of getting 25 bankers, now
you’re diversified in all different
aspects of the community.”
Corps members will learn
about Texas A&M through six
seminars concerning different as
pects of the Texas A&M System,
including student life, academic
affairs and the role of state agen
cies and research. Members will
also take part in a two-day re
treat to Austin to examine leg
islative affairs and their effects
on the System.
Brown said he hopes mem
bers leave the program with a
better understanding of the
A&M System.
“There are a lot of people in
the area who only see Texas
A&M as a body that supports
the community in various
ways,” Brown said. “This pro
gram gives them a chance to
learn all the integral aspects of
the University and feel like a
part of the System, even
though they’re not Aggies. The
members have the opportunity
to understand the complexities
of a world-class university.”
Brown said he sees advan
tages for A&M as well.
“These members can come
and support Texas A&M — not
just in local issues, but in any
issue that A&M needs support
for,” Brown said. “All of these
people are in leadership posi
tions, and their support can be
very important.”
Dr. Barry B. Thompson,
Texas A&M chancellor, said he
anticipates working well with
the Corps.
“It’s very important that the
community and Texas A&M
have an outstanding relation
ship,” Thompson said. “I know
that you have made a pledge to
give a lot of time to this effort.
We hope that you will surely
not be disappointed.”
Thompson said the Corps will
help the community gain an un
derstanding of the complicated
A&M System. He said the Sys
tem will expand with three new
campuses and nearly 10,000
more students before the next
Legislative session in 1997.
“I think there’s a definite
trend in Texas higher educa
tion with more institutions un
der one umbrella,” Thompson
said. “We’re very optimistic
about the future of both Texas
A&M University and the Texas
A&M System.”
Dr. Ray Bowen, Texas A&M
president, thanked all the hon-
orees and said that the vast spec
trum of schools and agencies in
the System will surprise and in
form them.
“There are so many interest
ing things happening throughout
the System, that we’ll be able to
occupy a lot of your time,” Bowen
said. “The System is a fantastic
array of institutions.”
Florida’s earliest hurricane passes
without causing major damage
a Allison tapered down to a tropical
ol. 1
storm as it moved inland.
SHELL POINT, Fla. (AP) — Allison, the earliest
hurricane on record to hit Florida, buffeted the Gulf
Coast with 75 mph winds Monday, swamping
streets and spinning off tornadoes but causing no
major damage.
“The forecast was for a lot more than we got,”
said Kenny Thompson, who rode the storm out
aboard his shrimp boat in Ochlockonee Bay. “We
were real, real lucky.”
More than 65 coastal homes, three hotels and at
least one restaurant were flooded as the morning
storm caused the ocean to surge eight feet along a
150-mile stretch of Florida’s Big Bend, where the
Panhandle meets the Peninsula.
The weak storm — it just barely reached the hur
ricane threshold of 74 mph winds — downed power
lines, leaving 14,000 residents without electricity.
No immediate injuries were reported.
Allison weakened into a tropical storm by late
morning as it moved ashore in sparsely populated
Taylor County, about 45 miles southeast of Talla
hassee.
The hurricane’s outer bands spawned torna
does that touched down in St. Marys, Ga., dam
aging a McDonald’s and the Kings Bay Naval
Submarine Base, and in Jacksonville Beach, flip
ping several cars and damaging a water slide.
Paula Beilin, manager of the flooded Stein-
hatchee Landing fishing resort in Taylor County,
worried that the scattered, relatively light damage
might embolden coastal residents to ride out fu
ture storms.
“I’m afraid that people are just going to get to
the point where they’re going to say, ‘Forget
about it,”’ Beilin said. “And then we’re going to
get hit with a big one.”
Allison was expected to move into Georgia, pos
sibly brush South Carolina and then head out into
the Atlantic on Tuesday. By midafternoon, Allison
was well inland, between Tallahassee and Valdos
ta, Ga., with winds of 63 mph.
It was the earliest hurricane to hit Florida dur
ing the June-to-November hurricane season since
reliable record-keeping began in 1886.

IBM launches hostile bid for software makei
□ The $3.3 billion bid for Lotus
should not promote any antitrust
concerns from the government.
NEW YORK (AP) — IBM made a record $3.3
billion hostile takeover bid for software maker
Lotus Development Corp. on Monday in a move
that could put it in a position to challenge soft
ware leader Microsoft Inc.
The unsolicited bid was the biggest takeover at
tempt in the history of personal computer software.
Lotus, a software pioneer that has lost much
ground to Microsoft throughout the years, re
jected IBM's repeated overtures in five months
of private talks. But Lotus said Monday it
would consider the $60 per share cash offer,
twice its current market value.
Although the merger would be huge, IBMsaii*
it should not pose any antitrust concerns fror;
the government because the companies’ opera
tions generally do not overlap.
The deal marks the first time Internationa:;
Business Machines Corp., the world’s large;
computer company and paragon of blue-#
firms, has attempted a hostile takeover.
“Together, our skills match in a way thaii?
breathtaking,” said Louis V. Gerstner Jr., IBM
chairman and chief executive officer.
Lotus’ strength in desktop computing pro:
grams complements IBM’s forte with program;
for large computers. Lotus also has a strong
presence with retailers and consumers while;
IBM’s marketing power is tied more directly to
business and government.
New Dallas mayor calls for civic pride
□ Ron Kirk seeks to cre
ate jobs and foster eco
nomic growth.
DALLAS (AP) — Newly in
augurated Mayor Ron Kirk
pledged Monday that the days
of civic pride and unified confi
dence will return to a Dallas
that had become increasingly
mired in civic squabbling in re
cent years.
Kirk took his oath of office
and promised a new era of civic
pride, confidence and unified
purpose after several years of
civic bickering.
“The people of Dallas have said
the divisiveness is over,” said the
first black mayor of a major Texas
city. “Today we stand a little
taller. We have a little more
swagger in our stride.”
Amid song and ceremony,
Kirk and the newly elected
members of the 14-member Dal
las City Council were sworn in
by House Speaker Pete Laney,
D-Hale Center. Joining them on
the dais were departing Mayor
Steve Bartlett and departing
City Council members.
In his first official words to
the city, Kirk promised to seek
ways to find and retain jobs for
Dallas, foster economic growth,
unite the city’s various commu
nities, and instill a vision and
dream of the future.
“We have to have a visiot;
and we have to have a drear
of how great the city of Dal!*;
can be,” Kirk told about 2,00;
people at the Dallas Convet;
tion Center.
Among his audience wef;
members of the civic elites*:
well as its grassroots cot:
stituencies. Left unmention*
were such recent civic squat
bles as a proposed new spot;,
arena and a new auto raceway!
But Kirk, 40, said the cityh*
no problem that a growing m
vibrant economy won’t cure, j
“There is nothing we canj
accomplish if we work toget
er,” he said.
