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.

“With all the different species, we cc

Viz Lab

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.”

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

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.
