“I don’t think it will stop people from
smoking who already smoke,” Kinnebrew
said, “but I think it will help stop more fu
ture smokers.”
Rodney Walker, owner of Discount To
bacco in College Station, said he believes
advertising regulations would not affect the
cost of cigarettes.
“They spend a lot of money on advertis
ing now,” Walker said, “so now they will have
more money sitting there.”
Despite the proposed setdement, Walk
er said business has been good.
He opened his business in May.
Laura Human, a nonsmoker and a senior
accounting major, said the tobacco indus
try should not have to pay for medical bills
related to smoking.
“I don’t think they should, because those
people who chose to smoke know it causes
cancer,” Human said.
Human said she agrees that tobacco in
dustries should not be allowed to market
advertising toward teenagers.
“I think it is good,” Human said. “It will
stop them from seeing that smoking is cool.”
Paul Ardionov, a nonsmoker and a junior
engineering technology major, said he sup
ports the agreement.
“I’m for it,” Arodionov said. “I’m totally
against smoking.”
Srikianth Raghunatham, a smoker and
an aerospace engineering graduate student,
said he does not agree with the proposal.
“I don’t think it is just to make them pay
when people choose to smoke,” Raghu
natham said. “When people decide to
smoke, that is their decision.”

Tests
Continued from Page 1
Gunn said to ensure that students will
not cheat on computer tests, teachers will
either have to allow students to take group
tests or have a secure room where only one
student can take the test at a time.
“I foresee this being a learning tool so
small groups can take it (a test) together,
and the group test could be a part of the fi
nal grade,” Gunn said.
Dr. Colin Allen, an associate professor
of philosophy and humanities, wrote a
program called Logic Daemon that stu
dents in Philosophy 240 began to use in
February 1996 to check their sentential
and predicate logic proofs.
“Approximately 100 to 300 students each
semester are ‘encouraged’ to use it (Logic
Daemon),” Allen said in a e-mail interview.
Allen said the program is used about 700
times each semester, but not all users are A&M
students because the program is on the Web.
Some national tests are already offered
on computers.
A&M students may take the GRE com
puter-based General Test through Mea
surement and Research services, and the
GMAT will be administered as a computer
adaptive test in October 1997.

Ironsides

Wilson, who is black and grew
up in Mississippi, typified the di
versity now on board the Navy
flagship. The crew includes Claire
Bloom, the Constitution’s first
woman executive officer.
The sailing itself also was vasdy
different from the days when the
Constitution outran its enemies, de
flected cannonballs and outgunned
the British in the War of 1812.
“At first, it was a little bit scary,”
said Bill Conser, a Navy recruit, as
he prepared to climb up the rigging.
“But it’s something you overcome.
If someone were shooting a can
nonball at me, it would make it a lot
harder to do.”
Launched on Oct. 21,1797, as one
of the Navy’s first warships, Old Iron
sides was undefeated in 30 engage
ments. It was its victory over the HMS
Gueiriere in 1812 that signaled Amer
ica’s arrival as a naval power.
A 3 1/2-year restoration effort
cost $12 million.
Modern sailcloth and computers
aided the crew Monday, who
worked in dress whites as officers in
period costume shouted orders
from the deck.
The Constitution originally
carried 36 sails and could reach a
top speed of 13 knots under its
full set.

Philip Morris “didn’t pay his bills out of the goodness
of their heart,” Rosenblatt said. "That was a means of buy
ing his silence and his cooperation so he would not be a
spokesman for the opposite position.”
LeBow, testifying for the first time in a tobacco law
suit, told the jury that Philip Morris agreed to pay $10
million a year of his company’s legal bills while he was
rethinking his position on smoking and health.
As it turned out, the strategy failed. In March!

LeBow said his views had been evolving since jyO
gave a deposition in the case in 1993.
“At that time you were simply spoutingtheacce;
ed tobacco party line on those subjects. Isn’tW
fact?” Rosenblatt asked.
“That s a fact,” LeBow said, as a witness fortheHitfiti
