every year for five years. The money
would be used on buildings listed on
the National Register of Historic
Places.
“Buildings in some of these col
leges and universities are well over
150 years old,” said Rep. Chip Pick
ering, RAMiss., the measure’s spon
sor. “Due to the vast age of these
buildings, the upkeep costs are more
than these university budgets allow.”
Still, opponents argued that the
bill singled out a few colleges while
ignoring scores of other women s
universities.
Katherine Stevenson, an associate
director with the National Park Ser
vice, testified at a hearing last month
that the Clinton administration op
poses the bill.
But Stevenson said the bill could
take money away from other pro
grams. She also added that no work
had been done to assess the condition
of the buildings.
“There are other, equally worthy
projects, as well as numerous other
historic buildings in need of assis
tance for deferred repairs.”

important factors when individual
choose a graduate school.
“It does sometimes come downs
an issue of numbers,” he said. “Incoa
trust to undergrads, graduate student
aren't supported by parents. Son*

works around the restriction by in

include tuition and fees for court
es, and students must take a
number of courses depending on
their colleges.
Leis said she encourages students
to think about studying abroad be
cause the benefits outweigh the
costs.
“Definitely do it, because there
are very few times to take timeoffw
travel, and the amount of moneyil
costs to go over is very minimal
compared to the experiences yoil
gain,” she said.
The College of Engineering has
two trips for Summer 2001, onett
France and one to Germany. The
College of Architecture has trips for
Summer and Fall 2001 to Mexico
City, Barcelona, France, Greece anil
Turkey.
“There are also a number of in
dependent travel opportunities thai
are funded through scholarships
from the college and students aff
able to write their own travel pro
posals,” said Vivian Paul, associate
dean for International Programs.
“This last year, we sent one to Japan;
and one is planning to go to Hons
Kong. In the past we’ve had .students
going to Chile, Spain and India
also.”
David Allen, engineering study
abroad program director, said the
program benefits students by allow
ing them to gain college credit and
work on a course project that relates
to a historical structure.
Paul said she agreed the pro-
gram can be very beneficial to the
students. N 1
“How can one operate in today’s
world in a professional discipline
without knowledge of another cul
ture?” Paul said. “The disciplines of
our college (College of Architecture)
are basically international. The Col
lege of Architecture strongly en
courages every single one of its un
dergraduate students to spend one
semester away from College Station,
whenever possible in an internation
al experience.”
Any students interested in study
ing abroad can contact their college
or the International Programs fo(
Students.
