The Battalion
The opening of the Texas A&M
Children’s Center, an independent or
ganization serving students and grad
uate students with children, has led to
the formation of a Children’s Center
Wish List led by the Student Govern
ment Association (SGA).
The Wish List will help with the
expenses necessary to complete
the center and provide items for
the children.
SGA is requesting that students
and organizations donate items to
the center for the 150 children
presently enrolled.
SGA has already donated an adult
size rocker.
The Department of Parking, Traf
fic and Transportation has donated
computers, and the Department of
Engineering has given money for
the center.
Other items donated by parents,
faculty, local restaurants and Uni
versity groups, such as Interfrater
nity Council, Student Government
and the Corps of Cadets, include
televisions, microwaves, books
and toys.
Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice
president for student affairs, has
agreed to spend up to $1,000 to
match donations made by Universi
ty groups.
Laurie Nickel, student body pres
ident, said the program is important
to her.
“I think we are way overdue for
this program,” Nickel said. "It is
very exciting. A lot of people have
cared about this program.”
A Student Leader Advisory
Board is being formed. The board
will consist of 30 student leaders
and will talk about issues such as
the center.
Donations are still being requested.

The Battalion
Eleven students and one professor
from the University of Guanajuato,
Mexico, are visiting College Station
while participating in a cultural ex
change program hosted by the Ameri
can Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) student chapter of A&M.
The program was initiated by the
A&M chapter of ASME in 1997.
“The TAMU students spent 10
days touring local industries and ex
periencing the culture of Mexico by
living with the Mexican mechanical
engineering students,” said Christine
Watkins, the student coordinator of
the exchange program. “Everything
from the crowded markets to the
specialized industry plants of the
surrounding cities were explored.”
“During the fall of 1997, the
Mexican exchange students enjoyed
the reciprocal visit to College Sta
tion,” Watkins said. "Starting with
a plant tour of SMI in Seguin and
concluding with an Aggie football
game, the Mexican students learned
about industrial and educational
opportunities available here.”
Watkins said the program was
beneficial to all students involved.
“The program is aimed at giving or
dinary students insight into other
cultures with an engineering slant,”
Watkins said. “When the Mexican
exchange students come here, A&M
houses and entertains them with the
sorts of activities that Aggies normal
ly do. When TAMU students visit
Mexico, they do the same. Anyone
who is a mechanical engineer can
participate. Everyone who expresses
interest and commits to the program
can participate.”
