FAA presents Easterwood witli
‘Texas Airport of the Year’ awai
BY EMILY R. SNOOKS
The Battalion
Easterwood Airport was pre
sented the most prestigious award
given to a commercial passenger
airport by the Federal Aviation Ad
ministration [FAA].
Easterwood Airport officially re
ceived the “Texas Airport of the
Year” award at the FAA convention
in January.
Jonathan Kraatz of University
Relations said the award is based
on operational and passenger safe
ty, development and maintenance,
a master plan of programs and fu
ture projects.
Easterwood is owned by Texas
A&M and is operated by Director of
Aviation Harry Raisor. Raisor said
the award is special because East-
erwood's competition included
Houston Intercontinental and Dal
las/Fort Worth airports.
“This award reflects a lot of hard
work over the past 20 years,”
Raisor said, “it confirms that we are
continuing to improve our services
and efforts to ensure the safety of
passengers and the community.”
Raisor said Easterwood made
several safety enhancements during
the past year. The most expensive
and extensive wis the construction
of a $1.3 million fire station, which
they share with the College Station
Fire Department, and the addition
of a new $350,000 aircraft-rescue
and fire-fighting vehicle.
Kraatz said passenger traffic is in
creasing significantly. Last year.

DRS presents first lecture in
BY CARRIE BENNETT
The Battalion
The basic exercise principles,
flexibility, strength and cardiovas
cular exercise will be addressed
tonight at the first of a series of lec
tures presented by the Department
of Recreational Sports.
The lecture, given by Chris
Blume, a physical therapist and
athletic trainer at A.P. Beutel
Health Center, will be at 5:30 p.m.
in Student Recreation Center room
281. The series begins tonight and
will extend through March 31.
Blume said she will talk about
the benefits of weight and cardio
vascular training and attempt to dis
pel myths associated with exercise.
She said the lecture will be
aimed at students, but the type of
exercise students need depends on
their overall goals.
“Some people want to lose
weight, while others want strength
training, so it depends on the indi
vidual’s goals,” Blume said. “Also,
some people hate to exercise so it
needs to be enjoyable and social so
they don’t see it as paying a
penance.”
She said the most important and
most ignored component of exer
cise is stretching.
“Most people will exercise stren
uously without stretching which
can lead to injury,” Blume said. “I
would have a lot less patients if
people would learn the proper
stretching techniques, which we
will talk about at the lecture.”
Blume said after the lecture she

to graduate students will cost the
state too much money. Propo
nents of the bill have argued that
the state will benefit from in
creased tax revenues paid by stu
dents with graduate degrees and
increased ability for the state to
attract industries that depend on
well-trained employees.
Reinemeyer said the system is
further complicated by the 100-
hour rule, which forces graduate
students to pay out-of-state tu
ition once they have exceeded
100 credit hours. Reinemeyer said
stiidents who enroll iiY-GlagsesTd’
maintain their assistantships are
more likely to exceed the 100-
hour cap.
According to the National Re
search Council, it takes, on aver
age, seven years to receive a Ph.D.
“Once we’ve hit [research]
hours, we shouldn’t be required
to be enrolled as much as we
are,” Reinemeyer said.
