admiral ranking, posted
notices on Websites and ran
ads in the Military Times, a
weekly publication.
Rosser said the committee
employed several advertising
venues to reach a wide variety
of potential candidates,
instead of solely focusing on
former students.
All applicants are required
to have general or admiral
ranking in the military, to have
a master’s degree or higher and
to have graduated from a senior
service school with additional
military training. Preferred
candidates will have graduated
from Texas A&M and the
Corps of Cadets and have 25
years of military experience,
Rosser said.
The commandant is responsi
ble for the financial and admin
istrative operations of the Corps.
He is also the head of the mili
tary sciences department.
Rosser said several faculty
and students will be part of the
interviewing process because
of the commandant's many
campus responsibilities. The
committee consists of members
from across campus including
the Corps leaders, the
Department of Residence Life,
student affairs and the School
of Military Sciences.
Col. Lenny Hernandez,
USMC, a professor of naval
science, said he is pleased to be
on the committee because he
interacts with the commandant
daily. Together, he and the
commandant work on military
programs for the Corps.
“As an active duty colonel,”
Hernandez said, “1 want some
one who has experience with
the military and knows what
the programs are about.”

he is waiting fot
meeting with Arafat, who has been confined to
his Ramallah offices by Israeli forces for the
past two weeks.
Still, Israel has said it would not try to prevent a
Powell-Arafat meeting. Israel allowed Arafat to see
several senior aides on Wednesday. Later in the day,
the Palestinian officials met with U.S. envoy
Anthony Zinni.
Sharon has branded Arafat the leader of a
“regime of terror” and has suggested he would
no longer do business with him. However, Powell
reiterated Wednesday that the United States
would continue dealing with Arafat.
Palestinian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Qureia
said the Palestinians would demand that Powell
secure an immediate Israeli withdrawal from
Palestinian areas and that U.S. mediators come
up with a timetable for carrying out a cease-fire.
Israel withdrew from two Palestinian towns
earlier this week, but its forces remained in
four others.
In the Jenin refugee camp, dozens of gunmen
holed up in a small area fired sporadically
Wednesday morning at Israeli troops advancing
with bulldozers. A local leader of the militant
group Hamas, Jamal Abdel Salam, quoted one
gunman as telling him by phone: “We are in a
group inside a house. They (the Israelis) are at the
door and they are coming to arrest us. Take care of
my family.”
Later Wednesday, about 300 camp residents.

including armed men, women and children, sur
rendered to Israeli troops. An Associated Press
photographer driving through the camp saw many
building facades with wreckingball-sized holes
from Israeli shelling. Streets were deserted, and
there was no sign of Palestinian resistance.
More than 100 Palestinians are believed to have
been killed in the Jenin camp, and many bodies
remain in the streets. Among those reported dead
was Mahmoud Tawalbeh, a 23-year-old leader of
the militant Islamic Jihad group who mastermind
ed a number of suicide bombings.
In Nablus, rescue workers on Wednesday
retrieved the bodies of 14 Palestinians, bringing
the total of dead in the city since the start of the
Israeli invasion to 60. The old city of Nablus, a
warren of narrow alleys, had been the scene of
fierce battles for days.
On the city’s outskirts, Israeli tanks and heli
copters shelled the A1 Ain refugee camp, damag
ing some homes. After daybreak, soldiers with
loudspeakers called on teen-age boys and men to
come out of their homes, and witnesses saw hun
dreds of Palestinian men sitting on the ground in
front of the mosque.
And in Bethlehem, a standoff continued at one
of Christianity’s holiest sites, the Church of the
Nativity. An Armenian monk in the compound
was seriously wounded, and Israeli troops and
armed Palestinians blamed each other for the
shooting.
Palestinian security sources and the Israeli mil
itary also said Israelis killed the leader of the
Hamas military wing in Hebron, Akram al-Atrash,
in his hideout in the nearby village of Dura.
said he has had successful and unsuccessful leg
islation on the Senate floor and promised to let
everyone on the committee speak their mind.
“I will not dictate,” Capps said. “If everybody
agreed, we wouldn’t have to be here.”
Senators also unanimously approved the 55th
session rules of debate.
