Rodgers, a survey conductor.
The survey results indicated
the law enforcement agencies
are mostly seeking informa
tion on international students
because of the involvement
of the Immigration and
Naturalization Services, and
the amount of visa informa
tion requested, Rodgers said.
A&M Registrar Donald
Carter said student phone
numbers, addresses, photo
graphs and other directory
information is accessible to
the public unless the student
opts to place a hold on it, or
his or her phone number is
unlisted. Private information
includes nationality, citizen
ship, religious preference,
grades and class rosters.
Access to private informa
tion requires a court ordered
request or the student’s con
sent to release the informa
tion, Carter said.
Carter said he was not
aware of any court ordered
requests for information on
any students, international or
otherwise.
Broleskey said law
enforcement agencies have
not asked for an electronic
database of information about
A&M international students,
unlike some other schools.
Federal agents requested
a directory of international
student information at the
University of Texas, and
issued one subpoena for a
Middle-Eastern man who
ultimately turned out not to
be a UT student, said
Patricia Ohlendorf, UT vice
president for institutional
relations.
International Student
Association President
Archana Ramasawa said
though the federal agencies
may be making inquiries
without students’ consent or
notice, most of the 3,500
international students at
A&M are aware of the
heightened security.
Ramasawa said she does
not know of anyone who has
been contacted by law
enforcement terrorist or
anthrax investigations.
International Student
Services keeps international
students aware of the situa
tion, Ramasawa said.
An international student
who asked not to be identified
said he understands the secu
rity concerns, but the extra
measures legislators recently
granted to federal agencies
takes away his privacy.
Homework

Goodwin said the Website is designed so it
cannot be accessed through handheld Internet
devices — a measure to stop students from
using the site during exams.
Goodwin said the Ridethebellcurve.com
system was created to address a lack of
direct assistance to high-level academic
problems and concepts.
“Students in universities want to learn — they
are paying to learn, hut many times they can’t get
the assistance that they need,” Goodwin said.
“We wanted to research a more efficient way to
find TAs to help undergraduate students. The
Internet has a large market, and all students usu
ally have access and know how to use it.”
MAIL

damaging to such things as seeds and
unprocessed film.”
The effects of radiation on medication
and biological samples has not yet been
determined. Braby said.
As reported by The Associated Press, the
only mail being irradiated is from govern
ment buildings and post offices that already
have been affected by anthrax.
Kenny Smith, a U.S. Postal inspector, said
there are public and post office revenue con
cerns that will he faced with the induction of
radiation scanning across the United States.
“People will have some concerns with how
to send certain objects, such as seeds and film
that may be ruined by the radiation,” he said. “1
believe that most of those concerns and prob
lems that may be faced will be ironed down in
the long run ... we'll make it work somehow.”
Radiation has not been introduced to the
postal system in Texas, Smith said.
“Right now radiation is going on in what
we call ‘hot spots,’ places such as New York,
Washington, D.C., and Florida — places
where there has been evident threat.”
The purchased equipment for radiation
will be sent to those hot spots before being
sent throughout the nation. Smith said.
Smith said radiation will probbaly become a
common practice within the U.S. Postal system.
“It's hard to say if radiation will stop as
the investigations into the anthrax case come
to an end. There is always the threat of copy
cat crimes,” he said. “The world has changed
since Sept. I 1 and I think we’ll probably use
radiation on our mail for the long run.”

Survive...But how; without a husband, without a
father, without sons, brothers, cousins, the men
in your family? How to survive when your world
has fallen apart? When your house, your land,
your village, your country have been swept away
by war? When life itself seems to have come to
a standstill? Since the war in Bosnia (1992-95),
countless Bosnia women and children have been
asking themselves these questions. See the
chronicle of four women, aided by psychothera
pists, as they travel down the road of mourning
and recovery, in search of their life.
