U.S. House
votes to
have say in
deployment
of troops
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Brushing aside administration
objections, the House passed a
non-binding resolution Monday
telling Bosnia peace negotiators
they should not presume U.S.
troops will be available to enforce
an agreement. The House acted
two days before talks were to be
gin in Dayton, Ohio.
Before the vote, U.S. mediator
Richard Holbrooke said support
ers of the House resolution were
“doing grave damage to the na
tional interests.” He said the ne
gotiations would open “without
any assurance of success."
The resolution said it was the
sense of the House "there should
not be a presumption” that en
forcement of a peace agreement
“will involve deployment of Unit
ed States armed forces on the
ground in the territory of the Re
public of Bosnia.”
The resolution said no troops
should be sent to Bosnia “until
the Congress has approved such
a deployment."
It was adopted on a vote of

"This time we are pretty mini
running according to scheduk
though, and most of tht
swamping left to be done will
happen on Monday after cut’
Dormitories vie for thekio!
of guarding a perimeter pole a(
ter the poles are erected.
Fred Shumate, a buttpol
and a sophomore industrial
engineering major, said
guarding a perimeter pole ia«
privilege to be earned.
"The non-regs (non-Corps
students) all fight each other
and try to take the privileged
guarding one of the perimeter
poles away from each other.'
Shumate said. "It’s areally
big honor for the dormitorie;
to get to guard the poles,’
For those who would liki

Bonfire is now fully accesei

Bonfire trivia.
This is the second year
Bonfire information is act
ble through the World 1
Web. Last year, a time-1
video image of Bonfire
available on the Web. 1
than 210,000 people accessed
the site, and electronic n
was sent in from Aggies
over the world.
This year, there is more
campus participation with the
Web project. Members of
many organizations and ser
vices associated with Bonfire,
its history and traditions are
serving on the Internet Bon
fire Committee, which works
on the compilation of the Bon
fire Web-site.
Bill Ambrose, project
leader of the committee, said
the project has improved from
last year.
“This year we included cut
and stack schedules from the
redpots and added in some his
tory on Bonfire from the library
and archives,” Ambrose said.
“The night that Bonfire bums,
we will have live audio and
video of the event on the Web
site, and we are currently up
dating the picture of the site on
the Web every 50 seconds.
“This way, all Ags, whether
they are in Australia, Ger
many or right here on campus,
can get an up-to-date image of
what’s going on.”

Normally, genes contains
short length of triple repeat,
but this length is expanded
in the genes of diseased indi
viduals as a result of genetic
mutation.
Dr. Samuel H. Wilson,
Sealy Center for Molecular
Science director at UTMB,
said the cause of the muta'
tion is a mystery, but the re'
earchers do understand
what happens in the course
of these expansions.
“In a normal cell, there are
approximately 20 of these re
peats present,” Wilson said.
In a diseased cell the num
ber of repeats expands to 70
or more, and the inability of
the cell to handle that num
ber of repeats results in the
disease.”
These expansions are re
sponsible for diseases such as
Huntington’s disease,
Kennedy’s disease and fragile
-syndrome.
These diseases occur when
an expanded repeat in a chro
mosome is passed to offspring
From this point, the expanded
repeat follows a genetic pat
tern called anticipation.
