Carter said, “Even if you’ve had a prob lem obtaining auto financing before, we will have some of the most liberal lenders in the area at this event.

We’re doing our part to experience other groups. We want to see more programs like this where people experience other cul tures,” he said. Thomaz Styblinski, a junior computer science major from Poland, said he encourages Ameri can students to come to parties. “All nationalities are wel come. We try to welcome every one from A&M, no matter where they are from. We want everyone to have fun and to propagate un derstanding in all the world. We are all citizens of the world, not a country,” he said. According to its mission state ment, the ISA is a “student orga nization whose mission is to pro mote cultural exchange between and among international and U S. students, to promote good relations among the students of all nations attending Texas A&M University and to provide oppor tunities to learn about ourselves and others through multicultural experiences."

"When students walk in (the classroom), they are not the quarter back or the star of the basketball team,” Bohac said. “They are indi viduals. A lot of the student athletes come in with their mind set on play ing pro sports, but we try to develop a plan B.” Bohac said students involved in revenue sports like baseball, basket ball and football generally want to continue professionally after college athletics. “It’s a hard time for some because you have been playing a sport for most of your life, and then one day it’s over,” he said. Bohac said student-athletes who leave to play professional sports often return to Texas A&M to continue their education. “We try to do the best we can to make sure they have something in their hands when they walk across the stage,” Bohac said. “We are seeing a lot more student-athletes who are coming back to finish their degrees.” Former football player Ken Reeves left Texas A&M a semester before graduation to play profes sional football for the Philadelphia Eagles and, five years later, for the Cleveland Browns, Reeves returned to Texas A&M to finish his undergraduate degree in 1992 and his masters in 1996 with help from the Career Center. He is now working on his Ph.D. and serves as the human resources advisor for the Dynegy Co. in Houston. Athletics Director Wally Groff said the resources invested in athletics should include career education for student-athletes. “We spend a lot of time and money on student-athletes (while they are eli gible for athletics) and then seem to drop them off once they lose eligibility." Groff said. “Career services kind of com pletes the cycle. ” Tedi Ellison, the director of athletic compliance at Texas A&M, said student- athletes deserve guidance in their ca reer decisions, but career advising for athletes and non-athletes should al ways “be under the same umbrella.” “They play in sports for the Uni versity and take classes. It seems like it just sits right to help them look for a career,” Ellison said. "I think that it is a natural culmination of their life at the University.” iraphy t in the Yale t School of unication in KUSH n, is just on holograph^ Con/in Last f- 'Eye on hosted it Yard" exhib Hun Houston chit m of Art. ,is wei; s one of 1 2 lormer ts whose with ir. nd-white ^ociair graphs will . display h Oct. 25. tv tota nitymer rush cat lornfe terestee Sam:; inembet Phi (rater industna jor, said- students; ‘Hx)ut the i “Rush get invoh system a: Aggie/K This ve is making of thelaij Greek his mated ; registered uder inn BY DAV The % Zeta Tati jftlpt c Wishes the Vraternitie Luck on Vail ^ysb!
