In three months’ time, a Texas A&M anthropol ogy professor discovered million-year-old tools and found evidence of the world’s changing climate. Dr. Bruce Dickson made these discoveries while studying in Kenya on a Fulbright Scholarship. He studied the Kakwa Lelahs rock shelter, a cave that was inhabited more than 30,000 years ago. The experience not only furthered Dickson’s archeological research, it also gave him insight into Kenya’s culture. “Being able to live in Kenya for such a long time,” Dickson said, “I got to know the people and the country a little better than I had known before.” In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the program that made Dickson’s journey possible, to day is Fulbright Scholars Day. To increase awareness of Fulbright opportuni ties, there will be a workshop open to faculty from 1-4 p.m. in 230-31 MSC. Typically, three A&M former students or facul ty members travel abroad each year courtesy of the prestigious Fulbright program. Fulbright recipients receive airfare, lodging, a stipend and all other necessities for their travel and research. Suzanne Gyeszly, a Fulbright Scholar and li brary professor, just returned from Hungary, where she spent three months advising the Hun garian National Library. “I realized how lucky and fortunate we are to have everything we do at Texas A&M,” Gyeszly said. During her stay in Hungary, Gyeszly focused improvements to on-line and other automations lated services. “My main function there was to come up win plan as to how electronic automation will cks^ the services offered by the library,” Gyeszlysaii Faculty and graduating students can the Fulbright and the Junior Fulbright ships, respectively.

Changes included the addi tion of paper, plastic and glass to the list of items recycled by the halls. RHA also recommended that policies become more strin gent, making halls more respon sible for completing their recy cling duties. These changes will be reviewed by the Residence Life and Hous ing before they will go into effect next semester. The RHA Recycling Contract can be adopted by any A&M res idence hall, and it incorporates the use of trash bins that, at pre sent, offer only aluminum can recycling. The Recycling Contract for merly did not include paper in its recycling efforts because of resi dents’ concerns that paper might pose as a fire hazard to the resi dence halls. Cassandra Delarios, the 1996 RHA environmental affairs chair man and senior geography major, has been pushing for changes in the RHA Recycling Contract. She discovered through discus sions with A&M administration that recycling paper is acceptable within residence halls, providing that the recycling bins do not block stairways. Chuck Berend, the Schuh- macher Hall RHA delegate and a senior agriculture business major, said he believes the program has not been a priority for administra tors or students in the past. “There’s not enough support from the University right now,” Berend said. “I don’t think it’s a priority with the administration or that they think that it’s a prior ity with the students.” Chuck Crews, the 1996 RHA environmental chair chemistry major, said the up!! ed Recycling Contract the door for the recycling of pd Pushing Libr plastic and glass, and tends to hold residence half sponsible for recycling thesei'3 is not as inter once the contract is “There are dorms ing an excellent job, and te West and ra also dorms that aren't doine? tyal said the thing,” Crews said. “The nert irovide not or tract says that anyone the contract will have to att! the rules and bring receipt prove they are recycling.” Crews said recycling pi? i&M in 197c Libr. rare T I; n 2200 B was given sheep can ay, that ha in a shelf in ng Library Sterling C.
