New Miss Texas lives
day to day with disease
□ Carly Jarmon, a student at
Texas Tech, has been diag
nosed with a potentially fatal
blood disease.
FORT WORTH (AP) — The new Miss
Texas wasn’t just making small talk
when she said after receiving her crown
Saturday night that she takes life “one
day at a time.”
Carly Jarmon, a blonde 19-year-old
Texas Tech student from the Dallas sub
urb of Mesquite, suffers from a potential
ly fatal blood disease.
“You just have to take one day at a time.
We don’t know the future. You have to go
step by step. My steps right now just hap
pen to be going to Miss America,” said Miss
Jarmon, cradling a dozen yellow roses.
The new Miss Texas, who came to the
pageant as Miss Oak Cliff, won a
$15,000 college scholarship, a fur coat
and use of a Cadillac for a year. She suc
ceeds the 1994 Miss Texas, Arian Archer
of the Amarillo area, and will represent
Texas in the Miss America contest on
Sept. 16 at Atlantic City.
Miss Jarmon revealed last week that
she had been diagnosed with chronic idio
pathic trombocytopenic purpura, which is
characterized by a low platelet count and
a propensity to bleed.
Although the disease is in remission,
she said she also has chronic mononucleo
sis and must have her spleen removed to
improve the filtering of her blood. She
takes steroids to control her condition.
She said she discovered her disease in
1991 after she was severely bruised
when her friends handcuffed her to a
chair as a birthday joke. When she won
a swimsuit contest in a pageant a year
later, she presented the award to the
doctor who diagnosed her.
“I’ve learned as a young girl how im
portant life is,” Miss Jarmon said.
Miss Jarmon, who was Miss Teen
Texas 1992, has been a youth educator at
the Southwest Organ Bank in Dallas.
"I've learned as a young girl
how important life is."
— Curly Jarmon
Miss Texas
“I have seen firsthand the ability to
renew lives through organ transplants,”
she said. Promotion of organ donors is
her only way of giving, since her condi
tion will not allow her to be a donor,
she said.
First runner-up was Miss Lubbock,
Eve Johnson, 22; Miss Hurst-Euless-Bed-
ford, Vanessa Hunt, 22; Miss Mesquite,
Reagan Hughes, 20; and Miss Lake O’
The Pines, Julie Tisdale, 23.
Scholarships of $8,000, $6,000, $4,000
and $2,000 went to the four runners-up.
Austin battles Portland

□ South Korea's Samsung Semicon
ductor Inc. has narrowed its
search to the two cities.
AUSTIN (AP) — Competing efforts to lure a
new computer chip factory is highlighting what is
becoming a duel between the Austin area’s “Sili
con Gulch” and a developing “Silicon Rain For
est” in the Pacific Northwest.
Portland, Ore., and Austin are competing
the distinction of being the latest hot spot for
pansion in high-technology industries.
South Korea’s Samsung Semiconductor Inc.
the world’s largest maker of memory chips,
narrowed its search for a U.S. factory site to the
two cities.
At stake is more than just local bragging
rights. The semiconductor industry is expected to
double in size to $233 billion in sales between
1994 and ’98.
Samsung’s proposed first phase of construction
alone could mean an investment of up to $1.5 bil
lion and up to 1,600 jobs.
Also, the city selected by Samsung could
claim to being the semiconductor industry's
hottest spot, business analysts have said. South
Korean news reports said Friday that Samsung
decide by the end of the month.
Portland is the hub of a high-tech boom area
that extends from just north of the Columbia Ri’
er in Vancouver, Wash., to the college town
Eugene, Ore., 110 miles to the south.
In little more than a year, the area has at
tracted nine big chip factories and support com
panics that total nearly $8 billion in investmem
and projected employment of 5,500 people.

and perspectives,” Schmidt said.
“Everyone i mst understand that
people possess their own cultur
al identities.”
Polk said people tend to disre
gard anything that has to do
with cultural diversity.
“You diversify your finances
by investing in different ways,”
he said, “so why wouldn’t you
want to diversify yourself?”
The program offers partici
pants insights and resources, in
cluding techniques for group in
teraction, manuals, videos and
activities, which will enable
them to start their own diversity
education programs.
Participants in the five-day in
stitute noted the need for diversi
ty education on their campuses.
Todd Allen, director of multi
cultural development at Geneva
College in Pennsylvania, said
that because he works at a small
school with an enrollment of
1,200, diversity education is of
ten a touchy subject.
“People automatically think
that if you set up an office or
program for diversity there is a
problem,” Allen said.
Stephanie Hill, graduate and
minority programs coordinator for
the LBJ School of Public Affairs
at the University of Texas in
Austin, said a diversity education
problem esdsts on the UT campus.
“Ice breakers, which enable
people to understand different
cultures, should help spread
knowledge of diversity,” Hill
said, “not only students, but also
administrators. ”
Polk said the institute not only
would allow administrators to
better understand cultural diver
sity, but give stu
dents the oppor
tunity to broaden
their horizons.
“Students who
are know!' dge-
able of di\erse
cultures will not
be just a law er
or just 5 ductur,
Polk said, “but a
healthy under
standing of di
verse cultures
helps you to be
come a better
lawyer, a better
engineer or a
better doctor.”
Allen said he
will return to Geneva College
with a grasp of the skills neces
sary to perform his job better.

problems with allowing provisional students
to enroll for only the first summer session.
“There were many complaints from stu
dents about not being able to leave home
for college,” Fernandez said. “Most of them
had to work, could not afford it or felt it
was just too soon out of high school to have
to go to college.”
Engelgau said one of the benefits from
changing this procedure is that some of
the students do not have to attend both
summer sessions.
"It may actually work out better than
what we’ve done previously,” he said. “We
don’t know yet, but we will see.”
This is the first time the department
has made a formal organized effort to give
all provisional students a choice, Engelgau
said* though exceptions have been made in
the past to allow individuals to enroll at a
later time.
“We were not able to give every provi
sional student the choice to which semester
they would come in,” he said, “If we thought
they needed a lot of help to adjust to the
University, they would be required to attend
both summer sessions.”
The decision to change the procedure
was made by Dr. Sallie Sheppard, associ
ate provost for Undergraduate Program
and Academic Service, with the advice of
General Academic Programs and Admis
sions and Records.
While the students are in the provision
al student program, they receive careful
academic advising and are assigned
their courses.
Kriss Boyd, General Academic Programs
director, said provisional students are re
quired to attend monthly advisory meetings.
“We need to make sure the students are
taking basic courses of studies,” Boyd said.
"All this is done to keep them out of trouble.'
Engelgau said students do not anticipate
the level of work college courses require.
“Most of them may have breezed by
high school and think they can do the
same here,” he said. “But the truth is they
don’t know what they have gotten them
selves into until around the time they get
their first exam.”
Once students have completed a full loab
of classes with a 2.0 grade point ratio and
with no failing grades, they are free to de
clare a major and choose their own classes
without any obligation to the provisions;
student program. The standards are met by
75 percent of provisional students.
“If you can make it to your sophomore
year, you are more likely to make It to grad
uation,” Engelgau said. ,||
Of all college freshman, 86 percent pass
to the sophomore level and 65 percent grad
uate within five years.
