He has very varied experience.” Ginger Brown, llama breeder and safety co ordinator in the safety and health department, said she agrees with Moyer’s praise of Drew. “He wants everyone to benefit from his knowledge,” Brown said. “He acts as a resource that people can draw information from, and he has really extended A&M s reputation.” Cliff Hashimoto, a fourth-year vet stu dent, said Drew’s hands-on approach to teaching has been beneficial. “His teaching philosophy is to let us ex perience what we want, but he will be a safety net if you need it,” Hashimoto said. “Tools are useless, unless you have the skills to perform.” Drew said he has very specific goals for his students to accomplish. “I want them to leave me with some com fort level when dealing with these exotic species,” he said. “I want to convince them (students) that the same thought process and principals that go into treating a dog cat can be applied to a parrot or iguana." Hashimoto said Drew’s efforts are welli ceived by his students. “Dr. Drew is very positive and encouraging : is more of a friend than an instructing cliniciar. Drew said he enjoys being an exotic-ank. veterinarian because it requires innovation “With all the different species, we cc stantly have to invent things to deal wr the unknown,” he said. “It’s the challenj that each day brings that took me intoti little area.” Lucky for Pico. Viz Lab Continued from Page 1 The program currently has 35 students and offers a mas ter’s of visualization science de gree requiring at least two years for completion. Students’ undergraduate backgrounds range from journal ism to classics, although comput er science and environmental de sign degrees are more common. Donald House, the program’s academic coordinator, said his goal is to maintain a well-round ed program for the students. “As the entertainment field becomes more saturated, we want students to be able to ap ply their skills in other areas,” House said. “Our goal is to teach a broad range of skills.” 'Ifechnical, artistic, students de velop cognitive and computer sci ence skills to communicate ideas by using digital and electronic media. With a 100 percent placement rate, students can easily find computer graphics jobs in enter tainment, commercial produc tion, architecture or consulting. Jean-Claude Kalache, a mas ter’s student from Beirut, Lebanon, said he is confident his hard work will pay off. “I’m not stressed about find ing a job,” Kalache said. “Being in this program is one of the best choices I’ve ever made.” Kalache said he hopes to even tually open his own graphics busi ness after gaining valuable experi ence, with the bigger companies, Former students have be involved with the special effer, for such films as Pocahontas,<k manji and Dragonheart. David Walvoord, the gradual assistant system administrate was recently hired by Blue SI Productions in New York as technical director. He saidtl graphics field requires dedicatk “The money we earn is gooc but we work really long hours Walvoord said. “You have to lor what you are doing.” Bomb Continued from Page 1 “We thought it was the end of the world,” said Walid, a 22-year- old Saudi who was walking near by at the time of the explosion. “Some were crying. Some just sat on the ground and held their ears.” He declined to give his full name. No one claimed responsibility for the explosion in Al-Khobar, a Dhahran suburb in eastern Sau di Arabia, but suspicion fell on Muslim militants opposed to Western military presence in the kingdom and elsewhere in the Gulf. The attack raised new con cerns about the political future of Saudi Arabia, long seen as a bas tion of stability in a volatile re gion. It is the world’s largest oil exporter and the United States’ strongest Gulf ally. “America takes care of its own,” a grim President Clinton said, dispatching an FBI team to investigate the attack on the Air Force base, which helps enforce the U.N. no-fly zone over Iraq. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, speaking from Jerusalem, said: “We will not rest until these terrorists are brought to justice. We will hunt them down.” Eighteen Americans were killed, and at least 270 were wounded, said Pentagon spokesman Navy Lt. Kevin Aan- dahl. Earlier Pentagon reports said 23 Americans were killed, but the toll was revised down ward early today. All of the dead and injured were Americans, Pentagon offi cials said. The totals were ex pected to climb, in part because of the sheer size of the bomb: au thorities believe 2 1/2 tons of ex plosives were packed in the truck. King Fahd offered his condo lences in a telephone call to Clin ton. He expressed his “sorrow and pain for this deplorable ter rorist act which is rejected by all religions,” the official Saudi Press Agency reported. Saudi security forces kept the area cordoned off this morning, and American soldiers in full bat tle gear shouted at onlookers to clear off. Investigators and res cue teams aided by five bulldoz ers were moving debris, search ing for possible survivors and clues.
