The Battalion
Tuesday -June 10 ; 1997
Park
Continued from Page 1
Dr.Scott Shafer, associate professor of recreation, park
and tourism sciences, was the professor for the class.
“We wanted to create something that had a feature
so some sort of emotional attachment would form
from students and an uprising would occur if the area
was threatened for destruction,” Shafer said.
A possibility exists that the Law-Puryear lot may lat
er be used for the building of new residence halls to re
place the 400 beds lost with the destruction of the halls.
Student reactions to the proposed use of the lot
vary across campus. Some students feel a park
would be a good addition to campus.
“I think it would be neat,” Becky Hoyle, a junior
biology major, said. “I think there needs to be more
places to sit outside.”
But, Unique Mickens, a senior psychology major,
said a park area is not a good use of the lot.
“I think [a park] is a good idea, but with the way
parking is, we need more parking spaces, especially
that close to the MSG.”
A drawing of the proposed image for the Law-
Puryear lot will be produced and presented to the De
partment of Residence Life and Dr. Janet C.Winniford,
the associate vice president of Student Affairs. After
being reviewed by Winniford, the proposal would be
passed on to Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice president
of student affairs. The proposal would require ap
proval of the Board of Regents.
Cloning
Continued from Page 1
The difference between the cloning that produced
Dolly and what A&M does is the cells used. Dolly was
formed from the combination of adult cells from ud
der tissue and the nucleus of an unfertilized egg.
A&M clones animals using embryo cells and the nu
cleus of an egg.
The genetics department at A&M offers classes teach
ing primarily the idea of DNA and its involvement with
physical traits. Genetics 431 — ‘Molecular Genetics’ in
cludes the study of the replication and repair of DNA and
genetic manipulation. Genetics 450 — ‘Recombinant
DNA and Biotechnology’ covers cloning.
A moral controversy also exists with the topic of cloning.
Some A&M students feel cloning humans is wrong
and would hurt society.
Rea McQueen, a junior journalism major, said soci
ety should not change nature.
“I don’t think this research should be applied to hu
man beings,” McQueen said. "I don’t believe we have the
right to play God.”
McQueen added that the movie Jurassic Park stressed
the moral that man should not try to control nature.
Heather Robert, a junior journalism major, said she
feels strongly about the natural process of reproduction.
“(The cloning process) is not natural,” Robert said,
“and something could mess up our natural order.”
Freshmen
Continued from Page 1
Both freshmen said they came to A&M because
they were ready for something new.
“I’m excited and ready for something different,
but I’m a little bit nervous that I won’t know what to
do,” Peterson said.
Renee Davis, a staff member of Student Life Orienta
tion, said the conferences give incoming freshmen an
overview of what new students need to know about the
Honors program, financial aid, on- and off-campus hous
ing, the Corps of Cadets and advising and registration.
Davis said the conferences are an “entirely stu
dent-led venture.”
Teresa Williams, program coordinator of check-in
and a senior marketing major, said approximately 200
orientation leaders, advisors, staff and executive com
mittee members help with the conferences.
Student executive committee members train the
orientation leaders who guide freshmen through their
introduction to Aggieland.
Monica Reza, an orientation leader and a senior ele
mentary education major, said she had to attend three
training sessions to become an orientation leader: a morn
ing training session at the end of the spring semester, an all
day session the last weekend before summer school and a
training session last Saturday for tour leaders.
Reza said she did not think about being an ori
entation leader when she attended the conference
as a transfer student.
"Then I wanted new students to get to know
love A&M as much as I do,” Reza said.
Karin Huffman, a sophomore agribusiness maj|
said her love of A&M also had a lot to do with her
cision to become an orientation leader.
“I want them (new students) to love A&M
much as I do,” Huffman said. “More freshmen
through this conference than Fish Camp. This isi
best way to reach the most people.”
Lueckemeyer said she is looking forward to“evei
thing” at A&M, including meeting new people, lei
ing the traditions, living in the A&M environment
“getting out of Corpus Christi.”
Davis said the conference offers information to pIP
ents as well as students. Parents can attend all proj
with their children, as well as a separate Parent’s Social!
the Letterman’s Lounge tomorrow night where The
gie Mom Federation, orientation leaders, faculty andsti
will be available to answer parents’ questions.
Janie Lueckemeyer, Leslie’s mother, said sheisej
cited about her daughter attending A&M. She has hi
many family members, including her brother, attei
Texas A&M. Although she could not attend A&M b|
cause it did not admit women at that time, Jai
Lueckemeyer spent many weekends visiting hj
brother and attending military balls and footb;
games. She believes “the other education” is aninj-
portant part of the college experience. Eyi
“Students need to experience campus life,” Luede-
meyer said. E
“She [Leslie] could have lived at home and attended ; i
classes, but then she would just be attending classesf
