Boom
Continued from page 1
he said. “That couldn’t be sustained. What is sus
tained are changes in technology that drove the
boom in the First place.”
Jorgenson said the new economy, which devel
oped because of the growth of information tech
nology, is about 30 years old and economists have
little comprehension of it.
“To understand this new economy,” he said, “we
have to understand the behavior of information
technology prices. This information is constantly
evolving and is incomplete, and therefore our
understanding is incomplete.”
Jorgenson said semiconductor technology,
which is used in ail computers and software, has
fueled the growth of the information age.
“Semiconductors have made us want things
faster, better and cheaper,” he said. “The economy
has slowed, but the pace of technological change
and the desire for that change has not decreased.”
Dr. Jack Triplett of The Brookings Institution in
Washington D.C. spoke following Jorgenson, and
commented on U.S. service industries and their
productivity acceleration.
“Most people think that service productivity
grows more slowly than goods productivity,” he
said. “In reality, the service industry is expanding at
the all-economy rate.”
The morning panel session of speakers also
included Dr. Barry Eichengreen of the University
of Califomia-Berkeley and Dr. Stephen Cecchetti
of Ohio State University. Following the morning
session, retiring Texas A&M economics professor
Dr. Svetozar Pejovich was honored at the confer
ence luncheon.
Emission

check for another smog ingredi
ent, nitrogen oxide. With both
components monitored, offi
cials say more problem cars will
be caught.
The new test for older cars
should take about 20 minutes;
for newer cars, about 15. That
does not count time for the safe
ty inspection, which must be
done at the same time.
Like the current program, the
new program will allow some
low income drivers to get a one-
year, one-time extension if their
vehicles fail the test.
Education
Continued from page 1
“Knowing about your own race allows you to
bring things to the table with strength, and share
those things with other people,” he said.
Powell said he believes that one’s college
years are extremely important because so many
ideas are introduced.
“If you graduate college and you haven’t grown
Cars that flunk also can get a
waiver if they have been driven
less than 5,000 miles since the
last inspection and if the owner
has spent at least $100 on emis
sions repairs.
Some auto inspectors have
said the new tests, which require
the purchase of an estimated
$40,000 in computerized equip
ment, could put many inspection
companies out of business.
The state has tried to enhance
emissions testing before but failed.
A system of centralized, state-
funded inspection stations built in
1994 was abandoned in 1995
without ever being opened. The
public relations flop, which cost
well over $140 million, occurred
because of fears of inconvenience
to the public.
Officials plan to expand the
testing next year to include
Parker, Johnson, Kaufman, Ellis
and Rockwall counties.
Wylie resident Ryan Walters
said the brown haze he sees
over Dallas seems to justify the
new effort.
“If you’re driving toward
downtown, or if you’re Hying in
on an airplane, you can see the
cloud of smog,” Walters said in
Sunday’s editions of The Dallas
Morning News. “We’re proba
bly not as bad as some other
cities. But it’s probably going to
get worse.”
at all, then you have wasted your money,” he said.
Powell approached topics dealing with racism
at Texas A&M by saying that students sometimes
have to interact with people who make them
uncomfortable to learn more about them and
understand them better. He also recommended
that students become involved in activities and
organizations on campus.
“We’re all one human family, spiritually con
necting as human beings,” Powell said. “The only
way to grow is to experience some struggle.”
Muster

friends and families of the
deceased, representing the sup
port of the Aggie family gathered
to fill the void by breaking the
solemn silence to call “here”
when roll is called for the absent.
The Ross Volunteers per-
formed a 21 -gun salute in military
fashion and Silver Taps was
played three times in the dark
ness.
Perry said Aggies know
when they have become a part
of the A&M legacy.
“When Silver Taps is played,
does it still bring chills? At the
beginning of the fourth quarter
at football games when 80,000
join in the Fight song, do your
eyes still mist over? When you
think of that tragic November
when BonFire fell, does your
heart still ache?” he said.
Perry gave tribute to the 1,191
Aggies who have sacriFiced their
lives in military conflicts.
“They sacriFiced their dreams
for ours,” he said, crediting
Aggie values for their motiva
tion. “In a world where we are
taught to look out for number
one, A&M teaches us to look out
for others. The values taught at
A&M transcended time.”
Perry asked the Class of
1952 to stand and be honored.
In the midst of a standing ova
tion, the 283 alumni thrust
prideful thumbs in the air in
true “gig ’em” fashion.
Student Body President
Schuyler Houser said today’s
Aggie generation has two things
in common with the Class of
1952.
“The bands of gold we wear
and a sense of loyalty and
camaraderie through the Aggie
spirit,” she said.
Houser said Muster truly uni-
Fies the Aggie family.
“Each name called is that of a
dear friend,” she said.
Abby Elkins, a freshman
civil engineering major who
experienced Muster for the First
time, realized the same.
“1 don’t really know anyone
who died, but it felt like I knew
them because of the Aggie bond.
I like to know that when I die or
my grandfather, who is Class of
1944, the same amount of people
will come out to pay respect for
us.”
Association of Former
Students President Glenda
Marriott said over 350 formal
and informal Muster cere
monies were held worldwide to
honor, remember and celebrate
the Aggie spirit.
Muster Chair Jonathan
Dancy, a senior management
major, said Muster revives the
Aggie spirit.
“I hope you all leave with a
revived hope that knowing as
an Aggie, you will never be
forgotten,” he said.
