Gramm, A&M discuss
who owns records
Workers, families show
support for Kelly AFB
Serbs say about 100
hostages will be released
MALI ZVORNIK, Yugoslavia (AP) —
Bosnian Serbs sent buses to the border
Tuesday, apparently preparing to release
dozens more peacekeepers, while the
Bosnian government charged that the
West valued U.N. lives more than those
of its besieged citizens.
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."

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

Award in Teach
ing from Texas

tion of Former
Students. Her ar

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
