The idea that professors and stu
dents inevitably eannot understand
one another is a notion the Texas
A&M Department of Engineering re
fuses to aecept.
As a new component of Engi
neering 112, “Principles of Engi
neering,” almost
1,000 students
will be required
to take a 15-
minute test this
week which will
be used to pro
duce a 26-page
computer-gener
ated report about
the student’s be
havior style.
“The more
we learn about
our students and
iorally, so they can he more effective
in what they want to do,” Dr. Michael
Abelson, facilitator of the behavioral
profile study, said. ”lt is really more
of a helping tool.”
Abelson said there will he a
workshop to train faculty members
on how to effectively teach to dif
ferent behavior styles.

WACO (AP) Government lawu

The Department of Defense, in a separate

The response comes a week after

But Lacefield, along with the rest of the Krueger residents
who had been evacuated, knew the alarms w ere not part of a
drill when they saw the fire trucks and smoke coming out of a
second floor window.
“When the fire department showed up, and there was
smoke in the hallway, [the residents] realized it was the real
thing,” Dan Mizer, assistant director for dormitories admin
istration, said.
Mi/.er said no damage was done to any of the facilities, and
only a few articles of clothing in the hamper were destroyed.
“The hall staft did a great job. the students cooperated, ami
the College Station I ire Department and l niversitv personnel
responded quickly,” Mi/er said.
Krueger Hall is not equipped with lire sprinklers, with the
exception of the trash rooms.
“By code, sprinklers arc not required in a building the m/c
ofKrueger,” Mi/er said. “But there have been some internal dis
cussions about doing that (installing sprinklers] for quite some
time."
Mi/er said when he left Krueger 1 kill at 1:40 p.m. the smoke
had dissipated and the rooms were deodorizing.
"I think die fact that there was no damage except for clothes
is a testimony of how things went” Mizer said.
