“That was my stepping stone,”
Angela said. “I was really shy when I
was young, and that really helped
me come out of my shell.”
Wrigglesworth has continued
helping people and contributing
to the community since coming
to A&M in the fall of 1995.
As a member of the Parking
and Transit Student Advisory
Board, she helped improve the
availability of parking accessible
by physically disabled students.
Wrigglesworth also participated
in the Branch Buddies program at
an elementary school in Bryan,
where she visited and spent time
with a child every week.
“It’s a great program where I was
able to spend time and play with
children who may have a lot of
brothers and sisters and do not get
a lot of attention at home,” she said.
Angela’s mother, Karen Wrig
glesworth, praised her daughter's
accomplishments.
“We are very proud of her, and
she was quite honored,” Karen Wrig
glesworth said. “She is a very deter
mined lady and she hasn’t let the
fact that she is physically challenged
stop her from doing things.”
Karen Wrigglesworth said the
MDA has been a supportive group,
and the family has been happy to
give back to the program.
“We went to the AFL and CIO
convention in Austin in 1985, and
we spoke in front of 1,800 people,"
Karen Wrigglesworth said. “Angela
was only 8 then, and she handled
it (speaking) very well. She was
very personable and bright at a
young age, and I think that is why
she was chosen.”
Like many mothers, Karen
Wrigglesworth was nervous
about her daughter leaving home
to go to college.
"I was worried at first, but An
gela made the transition smooth
ly,” she said. “She also had a nice
roommate, and that helped.”
Wrigglesworth said the decision
to come to A&M was not difficult.
“The main reason I decided to
come to A&M is because the campus
is so friendly,” Wrigglesworth said. “If
I ever run into problems, everyone is
very nice. I’ve never felt uncomfort
able about doing anything here.”
Wrigglesworth is spending the
summer in Houston, where she is
baby-sitting to help pay for school.
On July 14, she will speak to high-
school students interested in at
tending medical school at a Nation
al Youth Conference in Houston.

To illustrate the room for
confusion, Haynes showed file
footage from the 1950s of dum
mies dressed in Air Force flight
suits pulled aloft by enormous
high-altitude balloons, then
dropped to earth. The object
was to devise a way pilots or as
tronauts could reach earth if
forced to escape at extremely
high altitudes.
The black-and-white footage
is a one-of-a-kind collection of
Air Force film and photos, in
cluding a shot of a fully outfitted
dummy called “Sierra Sam”
standing upright with his arms
outstretched over the shoulders
of two officers.
The majority of the dummies
— which had skeletons of alu
minum or steel, skin of latex or
plastic, cast aluminum skulls
and instrument cavities in their
torsos and heads — landed out
side military bases in eastern
New Mexico, near Roswell, the
Air Force report said.
Draft
Continued from Page 3
Freshman forward Tim Thomas would be the man,
further hastening the upcoming departure of Jayson
Williams and Chris Gading.
8. Golden State — The Warriors need Joe Smith in
surance for the same reason the Nuggets need it for
McDyess: fear of losing him as a free agent next sum
mer. That’s about enough time to get high schoolerTra-
cy McGrady acclimated to the NBA life.
9. Toronto — GM Isiah Thomas really wants Mc
Grady, and he may give the Warriors something to
move up to No. 8. If not, look for the Raptors to go for
one of the best shooters and scorers you’ve never
heard of — Olivier St. Jean, a 6-foot-6 small forward
from San Jose State.
10. Milwaukee—With no general manager hired
as of yet to make this decision, there could be some
interesting inter-office politicking when it comes
time for the final call. The Bucks still need a point
guard and an insurance policy at center like Colgate’s
Adonal Foyle.
11. Sacramento — The Kings face the very real im
mediate risk of losing forward Brian Grant to free
agency this summer. The best fill-in is forward Austin
Croshere of Providence.
12. Indiana — Rik Smits, Antonio Davis and Dale
Davis are all rumored to be on the trading block, al
though Indiana would trade no more than one of them.
If Croshere is gone, it’s Iowa State center Kelvin Cato.
13. Cleveland — If the Cavs are lucky enough,
Cincinnati forward Danny Fortson drops this far.
14. LA. Clippers — Darrick Martin proved to be an
OK point guard. Stanford’s Brevin Knight might ones
be better.
15. Dallas — Don Nelson supposedly has foi
someone and already made up his mind. Hit's
Saint-Jean, maybe it’s Australian center Chris Ants
16. Cleveland — Derek Anderson of Kentucky,
best shooting guard in the draft, drops this farbecai
of knee problems.
17. Orlando — Kansas point guard
Vaughn perhaps allows Penny Hardaway to mo
shooting guard.
18. Portland — Chris Dudley is leaving asal
agent and Arvydas Sabonis’ days are numbered
consin center Paul Grant.
19. Detroit — This year’s top Euro import is6-6{
ward Marco Milic, who once dunked over a parked
at a dunk contest.
20. Minnesota — Local product John Thomas, ai ^ ei
power forward from the University of Minnesota
21. New Jersey — Back to the Villanova well forct
ter Jason Lawson.
22. Atlanta —-The Hawks should go BubbaWells
Austin Peay.
23. Seattle—If Shawn Kemp leaves, someone has
play power forward. Maybe Michigan’s Maurice lay!
24. Houston — Needs a scorer off the benchi| mth |
Long Beach State guard James Cotton.
25. New York — From the same mold as their tin ? Si
first-round picks from last year, Cal State-Bakersfiel
Kebu Stewart.
26. Miami —This is a true wild guess: Marylandfc
ward Keith Booth.
27. Utah —The Mormon state welcomes a newdi
ity, Providence point guard God Shammgod.
28. Chicago — From downstate, Bradley guard An
thony Parker.
Sampras, Gimelstob help to boost
American fortunes at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) —
Wimbledon witnessed the ragged
state of American tennis Tuesday,
with the notable exception of Pete
Sampras and the hopeful emer
gence of Justin Gimelstob.
Down went Michael Chang.
Down went Jim Courier. And as for
the whereabouts or future of MIA
Andre Agassi, no one had a clue.
Sampras, the most talented and
steadfast of his generation, began
his quest for a fourth Wimbledon ti
tle by beating Sweden’s Mikael Till-
strom 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
Gimelstob, a 20-year-old for
mer UCLA player, marked his first
visit to Wimbledon by upsetting
French Open champion and No.
11 seed Gustavo Kuerten 6-3, 6-4,
4-6, 1-6, 6-4.
A New Jersey native training in
Florida as part of the USTA devel
opment program, the 6-foot-5
Gimelstob showed the most
promise of being able to step into
the gaping void created by the re
treats of Agassi, Chang and Courier.
Gimelstob surely has a long way
to go and much to prove, but he’ll
have a chance to claim another big
victory when he faces 1991 Wim
bledon champion Michael Stich in
the next round. Stich, who plans to
retire this year, knocked off Courier,
the 1993 runner-up, 7-6 (7-0), 7-5,
7-6 (7-2).
Kuerten, a 20-year-old clay
courier from Brazil also visiting
Wimbledon for the first time, dou
ble faulted on the last point to be
come one of four seeded men to
lose in the first round.
Gimelstob punctuated his win
with a diving volley in the third
game of the fifth set and celebrated
with a leap and a shout.
“I felt I was getting a little low on
energy, so I figured that would be a
good time to voice a little aggres
sion,” he said.
Australian Mark Woodbridge
ousted Chang, the No. 5 seed, 7-6
(7-5), 3-6, 6-2, 3-6, 8-6 in 3 hours,
54 minutes. Chang, who trailed 5-
1 in the fifth set before taking the
next five games, had won their
last seven matches going back to
1993, and had won 11 of their 13
matches overall.
Greg Rusedski needed only 14
minutes to complete a 7-6 (8-6), 7-
6 (8-6), 6-3 upset of No. 7 Mark
Philippoussis, a match suspended
because of darkness Monday night
with Rusedski leading 3-1 in the
third set. Rusedski closed out the
match with his 27th ace.
“Obviously it’s extremely disap
pointing,” said Philippoussis, who
had been one of the favorites to
win the tournament after beating
Goran Ivanisevic on grass two
weeks ago to gain his third title of
the year. “I thought I could do well
here, and I had a good chance, and
I’m playing good tennis. But Greg
wasn’t exactly an ideal first round
in a Grand Slam.”
Jonas Bjorkman, who was given
the No. 17 seed when Thomas Muster
withdrew, didn’t stay around long. He
lost his opener to Britain’s Chris
Wilkinson 7-6 (7-5), 0-6,7-5,3-6,6-4.
No. 3 Yevgeny Kafelnikov, who
lost in the first round last year to
Britain’s Tim Henman, had little
trouble this time, dropping only six
games in a 6-4, 6-2, 6-0 victory over
Juan-Antonio Marin of Spain.

Anna
Kournikova, a

with a serve-

game made for
grass, romped
past American
Chanda Rubin 6-
1,6-1.
Hingis, repeated
ly bouncing her racket
on the turf in frustration,
needed six match points before fi
nally beating Kremer, an amateur
ranked No. 218.
Hingis, who hadn’t played a
match since losing in the final of the
French Open just over two weeks
ago, lost her serve four times.
“It’s much harder to play a qual
ifier because they are used to play
ing matches on grass,” Hingis said.
“And she’s a hard opponent. I re
member I played her in a junior
tournament and lost from two
match points.”
Kremer, a Luxembourg native
who plays at Stanford Univer
sity, stretched Hingis but
failed to hold serve at
crucial moments.
She double fault
ed three times
while leading
3-2 in the first
set.
Two years
ago as an ama
teur at the U.S.
Open, his first
major tourna
ment, Gimelstob
joked that he was “only
seven wins away from my
first Grand Slam title.” He won one
match, then didn’t play in another
major until the Australian Open!) Hist
year, where he lost in the first rout. I
Asked now if he feels he’s just: n
matches from the Wimbledon till 6,1
Gimelstob showed he had learn 1
his lesson.
“A couple of the guys tookH
aside real early at the U.S. Opentk 1 ^
year and told me that I had be®
start keeping my mouth shutbefr* 1
I started winning any matches, ^ a pi
said. “You’re not going to gett! 1 * j .
out from me anymore.”
When Gimelstob hears peo^Sej
talking about him becoming a
in American tennis and linking'’:
name to Sampras, all he can#
he said, is “don’t lose, don’t I
don’t lose.”
Yet, Gimelstob is well awarf
the expectations upon him. http
“It’s been a hot topic thatthe^,
doesn’t have that many good pW
ers coming up, which I don’t pa^; atte
ularly agree with,” said Gimelst f ; ^
who turned pro just oneyearag 0 ‘
think it’s cyclical, and I think 11
I’m one of the players that W
chance to be a good player.’’
Of the 14 American men if-
draw at the start ofWimbledon,'
en have already lost.
