Will Matthews, University President Ray Bowen's replacement for a day, kicks
back and takes a break from all of the commotion involved during his day as Texas
A&M president.
he said. “But a lot of students looked really shocked to
see me.
“The whole day was really a wonderful diversion
for me, and I also got to see what it was like to actual
ly sit in these classrooms.”
While Bowen was finding out what it was liketobe
a student again, Matthews was getting a firsthand
look at managing a major university.
“The presidential staff meeting in the morning
was a big eye opener,” he said. “This presidency is
not just about making a series of appointments. Yi
really have to think things through and do a lot
decision making.
“Even though the day was not as busy as usual, it
gave me a great idea of the time managements
volved. There just wasn’t a free second to spare.”
Bowen said he looks forward to participating in the
event in future years.
“When I heard of the idea, I thought it sounded
great, and I wanted to do it right away,” he said. ‘I
am very willing to do something like this again. lit
fact, it’s easy on me to take a break in the middle ot
the week.”
Kelly Hammack, a senior psychology major
United Way Pack member, said the project
mixed results.
“We didn’t make quite as much money as we
hoped for,” she said. “But we did get a lot of publicitj,
We plan to do this every year in the future.”

Unabomber
Continued from Page 1
Grotz confirmed that agents were investi
gating whether Kaczynski had traveled to
the Sacramento area.
The New York Times reported Monday
that federal agents had uncovered hotel
records placing Kaczynski in Sacramento
on the same days that some of the Un-
abomber’s package bombs were mailed
from the city.
The report was attributed to unnamed
federal officials.
The last four bombs from the Unabomber
were mailed from Northern California: Two
bombs postmarked in Sacramento exploded
in June 1993, wounding one person in San
Francisco and another at Yale University in
New Haven, Conn.
A bomb mailed from San Francisco in
1994 killed a New Jersey advertising ex
ecutive. And a fourth bomb postmarked in
Oakland, Calif., exploded April 24, 1995,
killing a timber industry lobbyist in
Sacramento.
Years earlier, on Dec. 11, 1985, a man
was killed by a bomb he found near his
computer rental store in Sacramento.
Federal investigators tracking Kaczyn-
ski’s movements are trying to learn how
the former math professor, who had no vis
ible means of support, could get to other
states where the Unabomber’s bombs were
mailed or left.
They reportedly are checking whether he
rode buses to those states; two bus line em
ployees in Montana told the AP that Kaczyn
ski was a passenger numerous times.
Kaczynski, 53, was taken into custody at
his cabin near Lincoln, Mont., on Wednesday
and is being held without bail in a Helena
jail. He has been charged in federal court
with possession of bomb-making materials.
The charge is intended to keep Kaczyns
ki in custody while investigators build a
case against him for the Unabom attacks
that killed three people and injured 23 in
nine states over the past 18 years.
Hensley said FBI agents approached
him in March and showed him Kaczynski’s
photo.
“I recognized him right away,” he said.
Hensley described Kaczynski as “quiet
and intelligent.”
fr
Tony Bisceglie, the Washington lawyj
who acted as an intermediary betwei
David Kaczynski and the FBI, saidhewotili
hold a news conference at 10 a.m. Mondavi
Washington, D.C. The Kaczynski family
not attend the news conference and will hi
speak with reporters, he said.
U.S. attorneys from California, NewJei
sey, Montana and Utah were scheduled
meet Monday in Washington, D.C., to
cuss where to hold the Unabomber trial.
The Sacramento Bee has reported thatt:
ficials are leaning toward Sacramento as til
site because two of the killings were there
Former attorney general Dick Thoi
burgh said it is unlikely the case woulh
tried in state court, as California Gov.
Wilson has requested.
“The track record of criminal cases in
federal court is somewhat better than itis3
most state courts, and I think the
ment and the attorney general will t
more comfortable having it tried in
court,” 'Thornburgh said Sunday on ABO
“This Week With David Brinkley."
Thornburgh said Monday’s meetingals
will focus on whether Kaczynski should^
charged with most or all of the Du
abomber’s crimes.
