Page 6 • The Battalion • Tuesday, July 23, 1996 Asbestos Continued from Page 1 Asbestos disposal is not an easy process. “When abating asbestos, we’re required to move it so it doesn’t go into the environ ment,” Mizer said. “The prob lem is, the asbestos got into the soil from the crawl space. We’re going to have to dig up the contaminated soil and dis pose of it in a special place.” Peel said areas with as bestos that cannot be excavat ed must be capsuled so the ma terial does not contaminate the environment. Guy Cooke, assistant man ager for facility construction, said the demolition crew is try ing to salvage some of the buildings’ components. “Asbestos abatement is the kind of work that can be slow,” he said. “But we’re also trying to save some bricks and stuff to build a monument in memo ry of the resident halls.” House approves child record-setting ban Gallery Continued from Page 1 is Japanese objects from the Benz collection in conjunction with calligraphy by a local artist,” Johnson said. He said the art league tries to make the exhibits interest ing and educational. Johnson said the Benz col lection is eclectic and includes art from all periods. “We try to make the ex hibits diverse in keeping with his collection,” John son said. “I think people are always surprised to find a collection of interesting and unusual objects.” Johnson said not many people know about the gallery because the build ing is hard to find. “People always express amazement that they haven’t seen it before,” he said. Andr6 Michel, a senior bio medical science major, said she didn’t know there was an art gallery in the HFSB until she had to go there to talk to a professor. “It (the gallery) is a nice place to go and look around,” Michel said. “I think they have some beau tiful displays.” Bob Rucker, former head of the horticulture department, said the gallery, funded by the estate of Buddy Benz, Class of ’32, is the only one of its kind. “Buddy had a vision to do something for A&M,” Ruck er said. “He had an art col lection worth over $2 mil lion and he didn’t know what to do with it.” Rucker said Benz donated his art to the horticulture de partment to keep the collec tion together. Benz also established the Benz School of Floral Design and left it to the horticulture department. “He established the school to teach people to sell beauty with flowers,” Rucker said. He said the school has become well-known all over the world. “The best example was when we had a group come from Japan to study there,” Rucker said. WASHINGTON (AP) — Prompted by the death of 7- year-old Jessica Dubroff, the House passed legislation Monday night forbidding a li censed pilot from turning over an airplane’s controls to a child trying to set an avia tion record. Jessica was attempting to become the youngest person to fly across the country when her single-engine Cessna went down April 11 after takeoff in an icy rainstorm near Cheyenne, Wyo. Her father, Lloyd, and flight instructor. Joe Reid, died with her. The bill, passed 395-5 and sent to the Senate, prohibits anyone who does not hold a valid pilot’s license and med ical certificate from attempt ing to set a record or engag ing in an aeronautical compe tition or feat. The minimum age for obtaining a pilot’s certificate is 17. Licensed pilots who turn over the controls to a nonpilot trying to set a record would have their licenses revoked by the Federal Aviation Administration. “We cannot legislate good judgment into the minds and hearts and souls of pilots, but we can erect some strong bar riers,” said Rep. James Ober- star of Minnesota, the senior Democrat on the House Trans portation Committee. Federal investigators said Jessica’s four-seat plane ap peared to be carrying more weight than was safe. They said Reid’s injuries suggested that he, not Jessica, was pi loting it at the time of the crash. The investigation is not complete. Jessica of Pescadero, Calif., 40 miles south of San Franciso,. attracted great publicity wit: her plans to fly from Half Bay, Calif., to Falmouth, Mi But after the crash, critics quet tioned whether a child that had the necessary skill and Jug: ment for such a feat. The bill, by aviation subcot mittee chairman John Dune; and Rep. William LipinskiJ Ill., would still permit childre: to take a plane’s controls — c der the supervision of the pi| in charge and under circut! stances other than a record tempt or competition. Olympics Continued from Page 1 in the hunt for a medal.” Four-time gold medalist Evans missed the cut after an unusual arbitrators’ ruling permit ted Ireland’s Michelle Smith to compete. Smith took advantage to easily become the first dou ble gold medalist of the Centennial Games. Smith, the most talked-about swimmer in the games due to her sudden success, the Evans flap and rumors of performance-enhanc ing drugs, won Ireland’s first swimming gold medal in the 400 individual medley Saturday. “She swam a fast time, even though she did have to break the rules to get in the race,” the 24-year-old Evans said of Smith, tears welling in her eyes. Smith, who missed a July 5 Olympic deadline to qualify for the 400, was allowed to race and finished second in the qualifiers. Evans was ninth; if Smith was excluded, she would have been eighth and slipped in. “I’ve learned that life’s not fair and today proves that point,” Evans said after the bizarre turn of events. Evans will have one more shot at matching Bonnie Blair’s U.S. record of five gold medals for a woman ath lete — the 800-meter freestyle. The women’s 400-meter freestyle relay team claimed the swimmers’ (and the Ameri cans’) fourth gold of the games, to go with the team’s seven silver and one bronze medal. Two of the silvers were picked up Monday by the U.S. men. Hall, the son of three-time Olympian Gary Hall Sr., won the silver in the 100-me ter freestyle, finishing just .07 seconds be hind Popov in a stirring race. Teammate Tom Malchow then grabbed silver in the 200-meter butterfly as another Russian, De nis Pankratov, won the gold. A little man made big news at the weightlifting, where two-time gold medalist Naim Suleymanoglu of Turkey — aka “Pock et Hercules” — won an unprecedented third Olympic title in the 141-pound division. The 4-foot-ll 1 fter hoisted 413 1/4 pounds — nearly triple his own weight — to set a world record in the clean-and-jerk. In his two lifts, Suleymanoglu raised a world record 738 1/2 pounds. “I will continue,” the 29-year-old Suley manoglu said, raising the possibility of a fourth gold. “I’m getting a little older, but I want to continue.” In the boxing ring, flashy Floyd May- weather knocked out 125-pounder Bakhtiyar Tileganov of Kazakhstan just 57 seconds into the second round, and U.S. mid dleweight Rhoshii Wells’ scored a one-sided victory over Iran’s Sefid Dashti K. Mollal. The U.S. boxers’ record is now 6-0; the powerhouse Cuban team is keeping pace with a 7-0 mark.
