Though there are many
specialities available in
meteorology, the two that
most undergraduates
choose are forecasting and
severe-weather tracking.
Undergraduates are very
interested in the field work
they get to do in meteorol
ogy.
“Most undergraduates
don’t usually know they
will get to do field work,”
McGuirk said, “but once
they do, they’re hooked.”
When Hurricane Bon
nie was off the Gulf coast,
four or five graduate stu
dents logged around 30
flight hours observing hur
ricanes.
The undergraduates get
to go out and track storms,
and others get to work
with radars and forecast
the weather.
“A significant number
of our undergraduates be
come professional meteo
rologists,” McGuirk said.
“I say this because they be
gin to get paid for field
work, and we have field
programs running all of
the time.”
Nurse found dead in Trinity Ri
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (AP)
— Reena Varghese’s dresses still
hang in the closet of the family’s
brick home in suburban Irving.
Her perfume bottles sit un
touched. Framed pictures of her
holding her newborn daughter
hang on the bedroom walls, cap
turing her eternally at age 25.
But police announced
Wednesday the young nurse’s
remains had turned up along
the banks of the Ttinity River.
Varghese disappeared on a
rainy night in April 1996 as she
walked after work from Dallas’
Methodist Hospital to her car.
Her husband, Roji, still re
fuses to believe his wife will
never walk through the front
door again.
“I still have hope it’s not
her,” he said in a quiet voice af
ter police announced the dis
covery. ‘‘They could have
made a mistake.”
A forensic dentist confirmed
Monday that a jawbone with
teeth found in May matched
Varghese’s dental records.
Grand Prairie police Sgt. Alan
Patton said. An Irving family
found the bone while fishing
near a bridge less than a mile
from the Vargheses’ home.
Investigators don't know
how Varghese died or how long
the bone had been there. Patton
said police have no suspects.
Grand Prairie and Dallas po
lice scoured the TYinity for
clues Wednesday, but called
off their search in the after
noon after finding nothing.
They walked along its lush,
tree-lined banks, searched the
slow-moving water in boats
and flew over it in helicopters.
‘‘It had to be worse than a
needle in a haystack situation,”
Patton said. He hopes to use
sonar next to scan the bottom
of the river.
The find ends two and a half
years of wondering whether
Varghese was dead or alive. But
