of public relations and recruitment.
The JROTC cadets attended the Louisiana

“Since the Corps is their hosts while they’re

to see the game and see Aggie spirit, but there
are recruitment values involved.”
Steve Foster, Corps commander and a se

who return to A&M as cadets.
During the presentation in Rudder Audi

Corps means to him.
“The program is an excellent recruitment

iediments help researchers predict weather

Dr. Niall Slowey, assistant professor of
oceanography, said knowing exactly when
certain climactic changes occurred is cru
cial in determining what weather condi
tions people may face in the future.
“Chronology is a basic tool that every
body needs,” Slowey said. “This is the first
time anyone has directly
dated Pleisocene-epoch
marine sediments be
yond the range of radio
carbon dating.”
Slowey said oceanogra
phers have studied
seafloor sediments for
decades. He said the stud
ies have been able to de
termine what weather
conditions occurred, but
not when they occurred.
But by using a process
called uranium series
dating, Slowey and two
colleagues from Lamont-
Doherty Earth Observa
tory and Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institute can determine
when weather conditions as far back as
200,000 years occurred.
Many microorganisms called foraminifera
die and sink to the ocean floor.
Researchers can test the uranium content of
the foraminifera’s shell to determine weather
conditions at the time the organism died.
The amount of uranium in foraminifera
shells indicate the temperature of the ocean
at the time the organism died. From this, re
searchers can detect ice age shifts and inter
glacial images.
Thomas Crowley, deputy director of the
Texas Center for Climate Studies, said in a
press release that Slowey’s research is crucial
in dating weather conditions.
“Absolute dates are necessary to tell why
and how fast climate changes happened,”
Crowley said.
Crowley also said Slowey’s research can
someday be used to test greenhouse effects
on the planet.
“This will be an independent way of assess
ing the importance of greenhouse gas in
crease for climate change,” he said.

Davis testified for the prosecution that the
leting with Margraves “probably would not
ve taken place” if Margraves’ son was not
| sduating.
jDavis also told the jury it was the only time
and Margraves discussed the athletic con-
ence issue.
Former A&M Chancellor and President
I piam Mobley testified that Margraves contact-
|j|him four months before the trip and asked
i to inform LSU officials that Margraves’ son
is among the graduates.
After contacting Davis, Mobley said Davis invit-
Margraves as an official guest to the graduation.
Margraves resigned from the Board of Be
lts in April 1994 because of accusations that
, J and other school officials profited from
*1 M business deals. After denying any wrong-
g, Margraves said he was stepping down to
d criticism of A&M practices.
The misconduct case had a change of venue

Nickel said the early start of leadership de
velopment for these children will help them
better understand their own community and
national governments, making them more
productive community members.
Zach Trant, a 9-year-old fourth grader,
said the program “was cool” and that he
wants to run for president of the student
council.
Fourth grader Danielle Palmore, 9, said
she was “excited to get away from class,”
but she was also interested in being a his
torian because she likes to take pictures
and color.

Seven seniors and eight juniors received the
Cain Boot and Saber Award at Fall Review for
outstanding achievement.
Wofford Cain, a Class of 1913 alumnus, es
tablished the $11,000 award. The money is di
vided among recipients to help defray the costs
of senior boots and sabers.
Nolan Barkhouse, a junior international
studies major and an award recipient, said he
gies is crucial.
“We’re (educators) doing so much more
than we were 20 years ago, like fire safety
and drug education,” he said. “Anytime
someone can come in and lighten that load
for our teachers it is a great help.”
Dawn DeWald, Pebble Creek enrich
ment specialist, Aggie coordinator and
Class of ’94, said the school has a need for
outside help.
The subject mentors program would
make use of A&M students with special in
terests in math, language arts and science to
help teach the elementary students the ba
sic material, she said.
Aggie Classroom Buddies, another aspect
of the mentor program/would allow A&M
students to adopt an entire classroom and
visit to help out with class projects and
group sing-alongs, she said.
DeWald said the program would be flexible
to accommodate A&M students’ schedules.
“Instead of telling you when and on what
day, you can sign up for what times you can
come,” she said. “We want to adopt you and
have you adopt us.”
was asked to submit a resume after being told
he was nominated.
“I was really excited because it’s the biggest
honor you can get as a junior,” Barkhouse said.
Seniors receiving the award include Stephen
R. Foster, Cynthia Ericson, Joseph Royo, Shawn
McManamy, Alexander Burch, Jim Harrison and
Michael Hayes.
Juniors receiving the award include
Michael Reber, Brandon Henderson, Stig
Sanness, Nolan Barkhouse, Randall
Schmedthorst, Chris Franklin, Brian Parker
and Clayton Kennedy.
