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.”

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.

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.
