Microchipping provides a method to identify the dogs they get lost or stolen, Berrow said. There are several advantages to the program, Relford said. “If pets get away from their owners, we can get them back to the owners,” Relford said. “Research facilities can make sure theyar| not using privately-owned pets for research, and exotic animals ca be microchipped for insurance purposes.” One problem with the microchipping system is competitie: among the companies that manufacture the microchips. Three cor panics manufacture the scanners and microchips, and not all scar ners are capable of reading the other companies’ microchips. “The companies will have to come to some type of agreement c their systems,” Relford said. “Since there is a variable responsefroife, the public because of the competition, they would be better off if a the microchips could be read by all types of scanners.” Jennifer Croniser, a graduate student in veterinary medicine said microchipping probably will take a while to become a popular method of identification. “I don’t think people will be likely to microchip their pets until its more accepted,” Croniser said. “It will probably be used most wii racing dogs and other industry.” Leo, a junior business major, said he will probably have a m crochip implanted in his dog. “We have an open backyard, so someone can come and take the dec or he could get loose,” Angele said. “I’d still leave the tags on, though.' Microchipping has reached even the University mascot. A mi crochip was implanted in Reveille VI after she was stolen and re! turned in December 1993.

Employment Opportunity STUDY: A&M has largest program of state universities Continued from Page 1 students study abroad each year, Rizk-Finne said, and a ma jority of them receive financial aid. The costs of the program vary from $3,600 to $6,500. The Study Abroad Office was established in 1979, and the first program was through the College of Architecture. Rizk-Finne said the program is based on a partnership be tween the faculty and the Study Abroad Office. Julian Gonzalez, a senior in ternational studies and French major, works in the Study Abroad Office as a peer tutor. He studied abroad in Switzer land for a year. Gonzalez offered advice to students interested in study ing abroad. “You should not be intimi dated by study abroad because you think you don’t have enough language fluency,” Gonzalez said. “A lot of uni versities will help students improve the language. They don’t expect students to be speaking the language perfect ly when they arrive.” Sharon Lawler, a senior psy chology major, also works in the study abroad office as a peer tutor. Lawler said study ing abroad is a learning experi ence as well as a vacation. “Don’t be a typical American tourist who sees all of Europe through a camera,” Lawler said. “You need to sit and di gest what you are experiencing Take time out to appreciate the country you are in.” Rose Wells, a junior Spanish major, went on a study abroad program to Guatalahara. She said the professors who taught the classes were excellent. “AH the professors were perfect for me,” Wells said “They were all very helpful and encouraging.” Wells said A&M students studying abroad should be pre pared to meet new obstacles and ideas. Jennifer Hudson, a senior kinesiology major, went to Italy in spring 1995. Hudson said Americans should remember that Europe is quite different from the United States. “I think it’s like being in a Third World country com pared to the U.S.,” Hudson said. “It’s not a convenient so ciety like the U.S. Europeans are not as time-conscious as Americans. It’s much more laid back over there.” To find out more information about the A&M Study Abroad Program, students can call 845- 0544 or stop by 161 Bizzell Hall. Officers: Patrol advises students about laws, safety Continued from Page 1 surveillance and can respond to any breach of the law. Wiatt said a bicycle officer has pulled a motorist over for excessive speed and not wearing a seat belt. Bicyclists can promote safety on campus by obeying all traffic laws. Wiatt said bicycle of ficers try to encourage bi cyclists to ride carefully; especially in areas with pedestrians. “In the mall areas around campus, the pedestrians and the bi cyclists intermingle,” Wiatt said. “It is up to the bicyclists to be aware of pedestrians in these areas.” Some students on campus agree police offi cers on bicycles are a good idea. Stephanie Burgoon, a senior elementary education major, Weather said she would feel safer if bicy clists would follow all the rules. “If the bicyclists would stay in the bike lanes and not the sidewalks, there wouldn’t be 8 problem,” Burgoon said. “The bike cops should enforce traffic laws on all motorists, including bicyclists.” Daniel Smith, a se nior business major, said he thinks bicycle officers would be able to get to the scene of an accident or emergency faster than a police offi cer in a car. “I like the fact that bicycle officers patrol ar eas of campus like parking lots and West Campus,” Smith said “That should help prevent bur glaries and vandalism.” Today Partly cloudy with a high near 95.
