Dr. David Wiltschko, a Texas A&M
professor of geology, said the bache
lor of arts geology program offers stu
dents greater flexibility with electives.
He said the program provides stu
dents with a good foundation in phys
ical science and geology and a minor
in another field. This way students can
explore other fields.
“A bachelor of arts program opens
up different options for students,” he
said. “This type of degree can be a
stepping stone to careers in law, med
icine and business. It can be a power
ful combination.”
Wiltschko said that all of the sci
ence departments on campus offer
bachelor of arts programs.
Dr. Michael Friedland, dean of
the college of medicine and vice
president of health affairs, said the
master’s program of public health
will train students to serve the
needs of communities.
“This program is consistent with
A&M’s land-grant mission to get out
and serve the community,” he said.
New study reveals American less
likely to relocate, move to cities
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ameri
cans aren’t as restless as they used
to be, and when they do move
more are now heading to the coun-
tryside than to the cities.
The share of Americans relocat
ing dropped to 16.3 percent in the
year ending March 1996, the Cen
sus Bureau reported Wednesday.
Mobility, dropping steadily, is
now well below the 1980s when
more than one in five Americans
moved every year. “I keep thinking
pretty soon they’re going to bottom
out, but they don’t,” Kristin A.
Hansen of the Census Bureau said.
Young people tend to move
more than older folks but the de
cline is affecting all age groups, and
so is not just a result of an aging
population, Hansen said.
The report “Geographical Mo
bility, March 1995 to March 1996”
also disclosed the nation’s metro
politan areas are losing popula
tion, with a quarter-million more
people moving out than moving in.
Declines in the central cities have
been common as Americans head
ed for suburbs in recent decades,
but now the metro areas are losing
to the countryside.
“It’s hard to come up with a
why” for the metro losses,
Hansen said. Jobs are moving to
the suburbs in some areas, and
people are willing to commute
farther, she said. Other people
may simply be choosing to live in
smaller communities.
Reasons for moving may differ
from person to person and com
munity to community, she said.
What makes the falloff especial
ly surprising is that the report is the
first to use the new 1993 definition
Gore: Hollywood|
blame for smol
for metropolitan areas, which of
ten include additional counties
that should result in increased
population, she said.
Metro areas were growing in the
late 1980s but experienced a loss
between 1992 and 1993. In most
other recent years figures have
about balanced out, Hansen said.
For 1995-96, the net loss to met
ropolitan areas totaled about
275,000 people, the Census Bureau
said, as cities lost 2.4 million and
suburbs gained 2.1 million. The net
loss accounted for people who
moved to nonmetro areas.
The highest moving rates were
for people in their 20s as about a
third of those aged 20 to 29 relo
cated during the year. The rate
for those 30 to 34 was 14.1 per
cent. It was just 6.6 percent for
those 55 to 64.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With
Vice President A1 Gore contending
that Hollywood is partly to blame
for teen-age
smoking, some

George Washington:
“Whereas it is the duty of all nations
to acknowledge the providence of
almighty God, to obey His will, to be
grateful for His benefits, and humbly
to implore His protection and favor.”
Abraham Lincoln:
“Intelligence, Patriotism, Christianity,
and a firm reliance on Him who has
never yet forsaken this favored land
are still competent to adjust in the
best way all our present difficulty.
...As was said three thousand years
ago, so still it must be said, ‘the
judgments of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether’”
