Continued from Page 1
The program has ex
panded since it started
about 16 years ago.
Jennifer Box, a Big
Event co-chair of expan
sion and development and
a junior journalism major,
said Big Event has drawn
as many as 5,000 student
workers to complete 500
jobs in the community.
“We haven’t turned
down a job yet that we can’t
do,” Box said.
Box said Big Event pro
vides students an opportu
nity to participate in a num
ber of service jobs for
people in the Bryan-College
Station community.
“We do lots of painting
and yard work and all differ
ent kinds of jobs,” Box said.
“Overall, the project im
proves the quality of life for
beneficiaries of the project.”
Students will complete
assignments with groups by
organization or groups with
other individuals. Each as
signment usually takes be
tween three and five hours.

Watkins said the software will also al
low his students to perform tasks in class
that once required several hours or even
days to complete.
“The analysis of this data has tradi
tionally required vast amounts of paper,”
he said.
FupingZhu, a graduate geophysics stu
dent, has learned using the new software.
Zhu said the software is a PC version of
seismic interpretation that would usually
be done on super-computer work stations
in the work place.
"The software absolutely benefits us
and lets us get a good feeling of the tech
niques needed for the future,” she said.
She said the software has helped teach
her things she could not have learned
otherwise.
“You cannot learn computer skills from
a textbook,” she said.
Lance said the decision to donate the
software was due to a working relation
ship between Watkins and Seismic Micro-
Technology, and because of Watkins’
knowledge of the software and his status
at A&M.
