you stand in the job market. But
nothing’s going to happen
before the deal closes, so I'm
not worried about it yet,”
Chastain said. “Working here is
such a great experience, even if
the interns are laid off. I’ll still
be glad for the hands on work
that I've done here already.”
Cruse did not have enough
information to comment on the
merger, but she said any fears
she might have about it con
cern the area’s technological
environment.
“Bryan-College Station is
constantly trying to become a
more technological environ
ment,” Cruse said. “It’s an excit
ing program.”
Cruse added the Center's five
years in Bryan have already
impacted the area’s technologi
cal work.
The Center will move from
Bryan to a new building in
Research Park on A&M’s West
Campus in February, Cruse said.
The merger, approved unani
mously by both companies'
boards, allows for Compaq
shareholders to receive 0.6325
of a newly issued HP share for
each share of Compaq. Investors
who own HP shares will own 64

faxed to news organizations in
Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.
Muslims everywhere, it said,
“should prepare for jihad (holy
war), and by the grace of God,
victory will be Islam's.”
Later, the Taliban’s leader.
Mullah Mohammed Omar,
appealed to Americans to “be
wise” and urged Washington to
reconsider its policies toward
Islamic countries, as well as its
next move. His statement also
was faxed to news organizations
in Islamabad.
In the two weeks since sui
cide attackers used hijacked
planes to topple the twin towers
of the World Trade Center and
smash a wing of the Pentagon,
many Islamic nations have
agreed to support the emerging
U.S.-led anti-terror coalition.
But the prospect of American
retaliation against Afghanistan
has stirred anger in much of the
Muslim world.
In a drumbeat of rhetoric, bin
Laden and his Afghan hosts
have sought to exacerbate anti-
American sentiment and portray
the showdown over the exiled
Saudi millionaire as a battle
between the West and Islam.
American and European offi
cials, including President Bush,
have worked equally hard to
counter that view.

Thousands of others who take sterility-inducing drugs fori

If pregnancy were attempted, it would be through in-vitrofc
tilization, and eggs would be retrieved in a simple precede
through a syringe, similar to drawing blood, he said.
Other attempts at preserving fertility include freezingpatien:
unfertilized eggs, but only a few such cases have resultediim
cessful pregnancies. Whether tissue implants will provemoi
successful is unknown, said Dr. William Keye. directorofrei

Still, Keye called the research "a pretty unique and e#
new development.”
“It’s certainly an important step forward in our understar:
of this whole process,” Keye said.
A few hundred women nationwide already have had owi
tissue removed and frozen before undergoing cancer treats',
hoping that a medical advance will allow them to use itsomed
to become pregnant, said Dr. Michael R. Soules, presidentofii
American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
Soules said it is uncertain how long implanted tissue wil
tinue to function. He noted that while Oktay’s patients show
tioning for more than a year so far, their tissue was never fit®’
a procedure that could “traumatize” the tissue and make loot
term success more doubtful.
Oktay and his colleagues used only part of the patients’ov®
because it was not necessary to take more, and it allows doctff
to take only healthy tissue from damaged ovaries.
