In support of educational ex
changes between Taiwan and Texas
A&M, the government of Taiwan
presented $500,000 to the Interna
tional Center in the George Bush
Presidential Conference Center on
the Texas A&M campus.
The Taiwan endowment was
recognized at a luncheon hosted by
Texas A&M University President Dr.
Ray M. Bowen.
David Liu, the director-general
of the Taipei Economic and Cultur
al Office in Houston, represented
the government of Taiwan as the
guest of honor.
At the luncheon, Liu was pre
sented with gifts from Bowen and
Dr. Don Wilson, executive director
for the George Bush Presidential Li
brary Foundation.
Bowen said A&M is pleased to
be the recipient of the endowment.
Dr: Emily Yuang Ashworth, as
sistant provost for international
programs, said the funds from
the endowment will provide sup
plemental stipends for students
who wish to study language or
participate in internships in Tai
wan and support programs to
promote better cultural under
standing between Taiwan and the
Basi
United States.
Ashworth said in _
Ronald G. Douglas, executiven: lustration B
president and provost, visi

tween the two countries.
“As a result, in January
1999, two teams of Taiwaneses!!
entists will participate in colli
rative research with Texas A
agricultural biotechnology,hJ
ardous material mitigations
computer science,” Ashwor
said. “Also, faculty and stude
exchanges between the compui
science departments of Tex
A&M and National Tsing
University, a premier engineerii
and science museum in Taiwai
are being discussed.”
Douglas, in a speech at the In
cheon, said the endowment«
provide opportunities to increa;
international perspectives ofot
students and faculty.
“This will occur by developic
mutually beneficial academic
change and collaborative reseaic
programs between Texas A&M at
institutions in Taiwan,” he said.
Douglas said a proposed roil
table discussion between elemei
tary and secondary educators
Taiwan and Texas is scheduled 1(
September 1999 to address edu
tional reform issues.

Bryan police implement
new crime-report system
BY JOE SCHUMACHER
The Battalion
The Bryan Police Department
has recently implemented an on
line crime-reporting system to al
low people to file criminal reports
and report tips and neighborhood
problems over the Internet.
Lt. Chris Farris of the BPD said
the online crime-reporting system
was implemented as a suggestion
from meetings with the Interna
tional Student Association. He
said some students feel more
comfortable informing police over
the Internet rather than in person.
Farris said the online reports
are informal reports for BPD to
follow up on, but more informa
tion will be required to prosecute
a person.
Officer Jerry Moore, a crime
prevention officer, said people
should not report emergencies or
situations requiring immediate
assistance online.
“The Website does not get
checked frequently [enough to
handle emergencies],” Moore
said. “If someone requires im
mediate assistance, their best bel
would be to call the police.”
Moore said some examples of
things that could be reported
over Internet are ongoing com
munity problems and crime tips.
The Website was up for a week
as of last Friday. Moore said there
have been three criminal com
plaints filed. He said the low num
ber of complaints was expected be
cause the Internet is not typically
thought of as a means to report
crime and not everyone has access
to the Internet.
Moore said the online crime re
porting system will be down for
the next few weeks because BPD
is working on how it will route and
track this information and related
to national statistic agencies.
The Website for BPD is opera
tional. Those wishing to access the
site can at http://ci.Bryan.tx.us
/police/ doc/intake.html. From
there, people can e-mail the police.
A link to the crime-reporting sys
tem will be available from the
home page when it is operational.
