A bus with 58 peacekeepers was waiting in Bosnia, in the Serb-held town of Zvornik, to cross into Serbia, the Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA report ed. It said the hostages — 43 Ukraini ans, 14 French and a Spaniard — were waiting for another group before being taken across the border. Belgrade's independent BETA news agency said some 100 hostages would be freed Tuesday and more would be released gradually in the coming days. The report could not be confirmed. Another bus, an empty double- decker capable of carrying 100 peo ple, was further north in Bijeljina, ap parently waiting to pick up hostages from northeast Bosnia. The moves followed a flurry of diplomatic bargaining between Bosn ian Serb leaders and Slobodan Milose vic, the president of Serbia and their former patron. Milosevic was key in persuading intransigent Bosnian Serbs to release 121 peacekeepers on Friday. Another 256 U.N. soldiers are still being held hostage. DEAN: Search to begin within next few wet \ COLLEGE STATION, (AP) — Texas A&M University officials and Sen. Phil Gramm's office on Tuesday worked to determine who owns 29 boxes of records from Gramm's tenure as a Bryan congressman. The school said Gramm, then a De mocratic House member, turned over the file boxes when he closed his con gressional office in Fort Worth more than a decade ago. Gramm spokesman Larry Neal said he was "surprised" to learn about the records, which he didn't know existed until a magazine story cited them this week. "There is some question of owner ship," university spokeswoman Mary Jo Powell said Tuesday. "Gramm was sur prised to learn that we had these papers. "Frankly, we don't know whether we own these papers or whether he does and we are acting as custodians of them." Neal said Gramm's office wasn't as interested in who owns the documents as how they got there. "It's simply not clear how they got there," Neal said. "We were unaware until yesterday that A&M had any files." Continued from Page 1 a proposal to establish a Center for Collaborative Improvement in Education. Stallings said her mission as dean of the Col lege of Education was to educate people who “will thrive, participate and contribute to a free and de mocratic society.” Stallings increased available research fund ing to help answer the question of how the Col lege of Education contributes to solving complex social problems. “A teacher’s responsibility is to teach everybody in the classroom no matter where they come from,” Stallings said. “A teacher needs to be like a bridge from where children come from, to where you want them to be.” Stallings said population diversity is increas ing in the United States and teachers from di verse backgrounds are needed as role models. Because of this, she tried to give future teachers a diverse perspective. She also increased the number of minority scholarships for the College of Education from one to 25. This number will eventually increase to 40, she said. Florez said she hopes to continue Stallings’ mission for the College of Education. Florez, a member of the A&M faculty 1982, holds a bachelor’s degree from Ft College in Colorado, a master’s degree inej tion from the University of Colorado atB: and a doctorate of education from Texas A&M Uni- versity- Kingsville. She is a recipi ent of the Ameri can Council on Education Ace Award and the Distinguish e-d Achievement Award in Teach ing from Texas A&M’s Associa tion of Former Students. Her ar eas of expertise include teacher education, second language acquisi tion and multicul tural education. Roger Hsieh, TmJ. Jane A. Stallings' 1 : Dr. down as Dean of the( of Education to pirn searching and teaching EBOLA: Travelers warned of outbn Continued from Page 1 SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Base clo sure commissioners were swallowed by a sea of zealous Kelly Air Force Base workers and their families Tues day as commissioners visited Kelly to decide whether to shut it down. "Save my Dad, keep Kelly open," pleaded one sign in the huge crowd that greeted members of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. Police estimated at least 35,000 people gathered outside the base gates. Many wore blue and white "Team Kelly" T-shirts, held "Kelly Proud" placards and did the wave. "We'd have to be not human to see all of that kind of outpouring of sup port and (it) not have an effect on us," said commissioner Rebecca Cox. Seven of the commission's eight members set out for a packed day tour ing Kelly, one of five Air Force logistics centers nationwide. The Air Force had recommended reducing the workload at the five maintenance depots instead of closing any of them. But the independent commission added the centers to its closure consideration list. The commission has until July 1 to make its recommendations to Presi dent Clinton. A regional hearing is planned Saturday in Fort Worth. “If this disease were here in the United States, our health care techniques would be good enough to stop its transmission,” Quarles said. The Ebola virus actually has been in the United States. In 1989, at a research facility in Reston, Va., several monkeys be ing used for research died. After looking into the cause of death, it was found that the monkeys had a strain of Ebola. That outbreak of Ebola dif fered from the current virus plaguing Zaire because the virus that killed the monkeys did not infect humans, Quarles said. Skinner said CDC is current ly doing research in Zaire to learn more about the disease. “We have people out in the field in Zaire taking blood and tis sue samples,” Skinner said. “CDC and the U.S. Army Medical Re search Institute of Infections Dis eases are the two primary facili ties researching Ebola.” Dr. Ellen Kasari, assistant di rector for training and surgical services at A&M’s Laboratory Animal Care, said Ebola is con sidered extremely hazardous and that not many facilities are equipped to handle its research. “The family of viruses to which Ebola belongs, called filoviruses, is very small,” Kasari said. “For all practical purposes, it’s just not necessary for too many places to be re searching it.” Kasari said that if A&M want ed to conduct research on Ebola, an increase in the safety mea sures would have to be made. Handling Ebola research requires a Biosafety Level 4, which includes safety measures such as special im munizations, respi rators, increased outside of Zaire.
