Wu, who got through Princeton University with "gentleman's C's" and went on to become one of Hong Kong's richest developers, is donating $100 million to his alma mater. The donation, which goes toward Princeton's engineering school, is the largest ever for the Ivy League universi ty and one of the biggest in the history of U.S. education. Wu, whose Hopewell Holdings Ltd. has vast interests in China and South east Asia, received his bachelor's de gree in civil engineering in 1958. Wu said he decided in his junior year that he would make a million dollars, his mediocre grades notwithstanding. He has already given more than $12 million to Princeton, where two of his four children have gone to school. Expert says Kevorkian's patient was terminally ill Continued from Page 1 organization’s, as well as the stu dent body’s, desire to support A&M veterans. “These are the two most im portant flags because they have meaning to veterans of any war,” he said. The Texas flag, which flew over the Texas House of Repre sentatives in Austin, was pur chased with Texas A&M Veter an’s funds from State Rep. Steve Ogden of Bryan, Zarco said. The American flag, he said, was do nated anonymously. Zarco said four service flags representing the army, navy, air force and marine corps will also be hung in the MSC next spring during Military Weekend. Jim Reynolds, MSC director, said the MSC Council approved adding the flags in September as part of their efforts to enhaml the memorial aspect of the MSd “Adding the flags of our stall and nation carries out the moll of the memorial in the MSCj Reynolds said. “The council ft! it was quite appropriate becausl the memorial is for Aggieswk[ have lost their lives.” The Corps unit flags tk! have traditionally hungintlt MSC were part of the interi::j design of the MSC, Reynolil said. Leaving out the state an! national flags has been a “gm! oversight” on the part of th MSC, he said. Reynolds said the state, ntj tional and military serviceflapl which will hang on the noiil wall of the Flagroom, will coir, piemen! the Corps unit flap that are already in place. “This is a way of representic, all of the Aggies who served an!| are serving in the armed force! Reynolds said. SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) — The latest person to die in Jack Kevorkian's presence was indeed terminally ill, an outside expert said Thursday as ques tions arose over whether the man known as Doctor Death had moved too fast this time. While Kevorkian's lawyer said the breast cancer that spread through Pa tricia Cashman's body was crumbling her bones, a preliminary autopsy found no visible traces of the disease. At the request of The Associated Press, Dr. Jeffrey Forman, vice chairman of radiology at Wayne State University School of Medicine, reviewed some of Cashman's medical records, which were provided by Kevorkian's lawyer. Cashman did have bone cancer, but it wouldn't necessarily have been detected during a routine autopsy, Forman said. Conference Continued from Page 1 present resolutions and vote on policies.
