Yew addressed the importance of technol ogy in the information age. “[Today] there is no such thing as being out of touch,” Yew said. “That makes it a dif ferent world. You can control your house, your car and your microwave. The transfor mations people are envisioning, to a person at my age, are mind boggling.

At the head quarters would be all the com ponents of the earth station, and the students would have one week to set it and con struct the station. If we met the deadline, the equipment would be ours. We finished with two hours to spare.” The satellite has been ready for A&M since May, but be cause of scheduling conflicts and weather conditions un suitable to transport the equip ment, the arrival had been postponed until Wednesday. A group of students will be working throughout the se mester to prepare the equip ment for classroom use. The system is projected to be ready for students as eaily spring semester.

Contest Continued from Page 1 Edwards proposed that the recruit ment of high-school students be split into two categories, which are the freshman and sophomores, and then the juniors and seniors. “We should have recruitment seminars that give information to freshmen and sophomores about prerequisites to gain admission into the University and schol arship seminars, while the juniors and se niors can leam about the credit system and time-management skills,” Edwards said. Edwards said even though the Uni versity can not specifically give minor ity scholarships, outside resources can. “We need to find ways to get schol arships named in honor of Black and Hispanic graduates from different insti tutions who have had successful ca reers,” Edwards said. The winner of the contest was Michelle Wallace, a junior speech com munications major. Wallace proposed the idea of an informative campaign. “Money is not alwaystheas Wallace said.
