I Visitor Lecture Series"
I will offer students
I career advice.
I By Lily Aguilar
I The Battalion
Marilyn Auverman, vice presi-
I dent of NationsBank, will speak
I to students as part of the MSC
I MBA/1 AW “Distinguished Visitor
I Lecture Series ” today at 10 a.m.
I in 231 MSC.
Auverman will discuss her ca-
I reer experiences and offer advice
I to students as they enter the
I work force.
Duke Hobbs, a volunteer spe-
I cial adviser for the MSC, said the
I lecture series, which brings in top
I executives in a variety of indus-
I tries, is open to all students who
I are willing to attend the course
I every Friday.
“Students don’t receive cred-
| it for the course right now, but
I it has been approved as a one-
I hour course for next spring,”
I Hobbs said. “The class will
I have about 60 students and will
follow the same format we’ve
had this semester.”
The lecture series has al
ready brought Charles Robert
son, a retired former president
and major stockholder for Envi
ronmental Systems Company.
Four other speakers are sched
uled to come to campus this se
mester, Hobbs said.
“Our next speaker on Oct. 13
will be Malcolm Jozoff, president
CEO of Lennox Inc., which manu
factures fine china,” he said.
Hobbs said the lecturers volun
teer to come to the University
“strictly for the honor of speaking
to A&M students.”
“The speakers don’t receive
an honorarium,” he said. “They
come here because they want to
help the students learn from
their accomplishments.”
Everyone is encouraged to
take part in the course, Hobbs
said, because it helps people
look at things broadly and of
fers new perspectives.
Brian Harvey, director of
programs for MSC/MBA LAW
and a junior accounting major,
said he wanted to participate in
the lectures because he thought
they would be a great opportu
nity to learn from successful
professionals.
“You gain a general knowledge
of the business world,” Harvey
said. “You also learn what to do
and what not to do.”
Harvey said the lecturers are
company executives, but they
offer advice that could benefit
students from every college
on campus.
“The course benefits business
students a little more, but the
business world is made of people
representing all majors,” he said.
Jessica Smith, a sophomore
general studies major, said she
heard about the program while
attending a pre-law meeting.
“I decided to take the class be
cause I thought it might give me
an idea of what I might want to
do,” Smith said. “It has given me
some direction.”
The class allows students to
network with people in high posi
tions and gives them a chance to
learn from the mistakes of people
who have made it to the top,
Smith said.
“I’m surprised more people, es
pecially at this University, have
not taken advantage of the class
because it has so much to offer
students,” she said. “They can
learn about the lives and experi
ence of people who have already
made it.”
Arafat, Rabin sign milestone peace agreement
1 □ The accord will end Israeli's
5 occupation of West Bank cities.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In another milestone
toward peace, Israeli FYime Minister Yitzhak Ra
bin and PLO chief Yasser Arafat signed a historic
agreement Thursday ending Israel’s military occu
pation of West Bank cities and laying the founda
tion for a Palestinian state.
“We want you as good neighbors,” the gravelly
voiced Rabin told Arafat, his onetime blood enemy.
“Enough killing and enough killing of innocent
people,” Arafat declared to loud applause.
Under the glittering chandeliers of the East
Room, President Clinton presided over two hours
of speeches and pageantry before an audience of
200 diplomats, foreign ministers, Cabinet secre
taries and members of Congress. Egyptian FYesi-
dent Hosni Mubarak and Jordan’s King Hussein
joined Clinton as witnesses to the accord.
Outside, Pennsylvania Avenue was turned into
a parking lot for nearly two dozen VIP limousines.
“Chapter by chapter, Jews and Arabs are
writing a new chapter for their ancient lands,”
Clinton said. Arafat and Rabin both called on
Syria and Lebanon to drop their reluctance to
join the peace process.
To worldwide acclaim, Arafat and Rabin signed
a tortuously negotiated agreement for Israel to re
linquish control of territory it captured from Jor
dan in the 1967 Six-Day War.
The agreement outlines in painstaking detail
the step-by-step withdrawal of Israeli forces and
the transfer of governing authority for Palestinian
self-rule in 30 percent of the West Bank, contain
ing most of its Arab population. The accord also al
lows for Palestinian elections.
The document — signed on a polished desk that
once belonged to Abraham Lincoln — was a follow
up to the 1993 White House agreement that
brought Rabin and Arafat together for a historic
handshake of peace.
“Please, take a good, hard look,” Rabin told the
hushed audience. “The sight you see before you at
this moment was impossible, was unthinkable just
three years ago.”
But Rabin also warned that peace could crum
ble unless both sides unite against terrorists who
are trying to prevent peace. “Don’t let it happen,”
he implored.
“If all the partners to the peacemaking do not
unite against the evil angels of death by terrorism,
all that will remain of this ceremony are color
snapshots, empty mementos,” Rabin said.
