The Texas A&M University Graduate Busi
ness Career Conference (GBCC) will kick off
today at noon with the annual GBCC Golf Tour
nament at the Briarcrest Country Club.
The conference ends Friday.
Bev McGeough, publicity chair for the
conference and a business graduate student,
said the conference is held to provide net
working opportunities for students who are
looking for jobs and internships.
Anthony Semien, chair of the GBCC and a
business analysis graduate student, said one of
the major events of the conference is the round
table discussions that will take place Friday. The
round-table discussions will be composed of
groups of six to seven students who will sit with
company representatives so both sides can leant
about each other's needs and goals.
“This is a really good opportunity for stu
dents to get to know the companies more in
depth because they are interacting on a
smaller scale,” Semien said. “It is also a great
way for the recruiters to get to know the stu
dents better since a lot of them already have
the students’ resumes.”
Throughout the two-day conference, there
will be various dinners and receptions.
Semien said at a breakfasts
Friday morning faculty wil
present to recruiters what!
posed to in their classes ande
activities at A&M.
" We view this conferenceasi
tional gathering, both in forma!;
atmospheres as the official kick
cruiting season,” Semien said ■

“The animals are humanely
trapped in large cages called toma
hawk traps,” she said.
“We then test them for feline
leukemia, feline AIDS and other fatal
diseases. If the cats are healthy, we give
them a rabies vaccination and spay or
neuter them. Finally, we release the an
imals back into their colony.”
Fradkin said if the cats are
young enough to be socially reha
bilitated, they will care for them at
the Small Animal Clinic until suit
able homes are found. So far they
have captured 30 cats and social
ized 10 kittens.
“I became interested in the sub
ject in December of ’97 after some
feral kittens were found in the con
struction site at Kyle Field and
brought to the Small Animal Clinic,”
she said.
The Wildlife and Fisheries Sci
ence Department is also participat
ing in the program through a radio
telemetry study.
“They monitor the cats with radio
callers so they can track their be
havior after release,” she said.
The Residence Hall Associa
tion 1998-1999 budget of
$45,821.08 was unanimously
passed at last night’s meeting.
Michael Haughey, president
of RHA, said the budget was
lower than last year because a
contract was signed with the
Aggie-Dial-One program.
“We lost money through the
Aggie-Dial-One program because
sales went down,” Haughey
said. "We have another year of
contract, then a committee will
plan out new phone deal.”
Freshman senators were
announced yesterday at 10
p.m in front of the Lawrence
Sullivan Ross statue in the
Academic Plaza.
Haughey said the elections
were not publicized as much
as in the past due to the lack
of sandwich boards used in
past years. The sandwich
boards were believed to be
distracting and caused stu
dents to vote for candidates
with the most elaborate
boards. Discussions to
reestablish the sandwich
boards are in effect.
“There were no sandwich
boards this year and elections
did not work as well as expect
ed,” Haughey said.
The RHA committee of
Freshman Leaders In Plan
ning (FLIP) were announced
at the meeting. Fifty freshmen
were chosen for the organiza
tion that trains future leaders
by exposing them to speakers
and leadershipoppcl
“It is a reallyg:r:I

Lillehaugen said.
