Diane Stropp, president of the
Arts Council, said one of the rea
sons the council began the lecture
series was to ensure that people
involved in the arts have a place
in the next millennium.
“We’ve made great strides in
this direction,” Stropp said.
She said there was a resound
ing agreement to host the series
from both the communities of
Bryan and College Station.
Carol Wagner, chair of the Bra
zos Valley Millennium Commis
sion, said the speakers have en
gaged the audience and made
people think.
Past lecture topics included the
effect of the millennium on fami
ly structure and art. Upcoming
lectures will include topics on en
gineering and space exploration.

JFK Jr. flight released
AQUINNAH, Mass. (AP) — As
the Kennedy family broke its si
lence by expressing “unspeakable
grief” yesterday, federal investiga
tors said John F. Kennedy Jr.’s plane
dropped precipitously and faster
than previously thought.
The single-engine plane piloted
by Kennedy took off from New Jer
sey Friday. Kennedy and his wife
were headed to his cousin Rory’s
wedding Saturday on Cape Cod,
and they planned to stop on
Martha’s Vineyard to drop off her
sister before continuing to the Cape.
After reviewing new radar data,
investigators said the plane made a
drop of 1,100 feet in 14 seconds as
it approached the island. That
would mean the plane’s rate of de
scent was 4,700 feet per minute.
Officials had said Sunday that
the plane lost 700 feet in altitude
within 30 seconds — or 1,400 feet
per minute. The reason for the drop
is unknown.

The “primary” visits will in
clude those suffering from fever,
cough, body aches and other flu
symptoms. She said the study
will also look at the number of
people who need “secondary”
medical care, which may require
another visit, for other complica
tions such as inner-ear and mid
dle-ear infections, bronchitis and
pneumonia during the winter
season.
Arden said that, if the theory
is correct, Bryan-College Station
will maintain around the same
number of flu patients next year.
These numbers will then be com
pared to other areas administer
ing high levels of vaccinations in
an attempt to alter the epidemi
ology of the disease.

Niemeyer said the Peace Corps
budget was recently increased and
by the year 2003, the organization
plans to employ 10,000 volunteers.
“Because of the 4,000 volunteer
increase, we will experience a
shortage of volunteers in environ
ment, business and agriculture,”
Niemeyer said.
The recruiters from Dallas will
meet with students, representatives
from the Career Center and various
departmental advisers and will set
up presentations in classrooms over
the next two days.
“At this point, we are looking for
as many qualified, interested candi
dates as possible,” Niemeyer said.
