OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY REGARDING THE RESTORATION OF RESEARCH PROGRAM AND REPUTATION Harland N. Prechel and John L. Boies During 1999-2002, Texas A&M University conducted a scientific misconduct investigation that focused on the following two publications: Prechel, H. and Boies, J. 1998. Capital Dependence, Financial Risk, and Change from Multidivisional to Multilayered Subsidiary Form. Sociological Forum, Vol. 13, No.2: 321-363 (referred to as the SF paper); and Zey, Mary. 1998. The Transformation of Corporate Control to Owners and Form to the Multisubsidiary: 1981-1993. Research in Oroanizational Change and Development, Volume II: 271-312. JAI Press Inc. (referred to as the ROOD paper). This investigation was the result of a complaint by Mary A. Zey, in which she accused Harland N. Prechel and John L. Boies of plagiarism and data theft. After a full investigation of these allegations, the Investigation Committee's findings, were the following: Dr. Boies performed the original data analyses and interpretation that Dr. Zey modified for publication in the ROOD paper. Dr. Zey did not receive the data analysis and interpretation as part of her collaboration with Dr. Boies. Dr. Boies performed most or all of the data summaries, data analyses, and interpretations of data that were performed for the SF paper. With regard to the two publications in dispute, Drs. Prechel' s and Boies' SF article therefore contains the legitimate and accurate table (Table VI) based on the data analyses and interpretation performed by Dr. Boies. Only one set of data (including completed collection forms) related to the disputed papers was presented to the Investigation Committee, and it is the property of Dr. Prechel. Dr. Prechel had research projects directly linked to the SF paper. Drs. Prechel and Boies produced sufficient verifiable evidence of authorship to establish that they wrote the SF paper. Thus, the Investigation Committee determined that neither Drs. Prechel nor Boies committed misconduct in science. On June 29, 2001, the Executive Vice President and Provost of Texas A&M University concurred with the Investigation Committee's report, and on July 25,2001, the President of Texas A&M University upheld the findings. Subsequently, the findings were also accepted by the Office of Inspector General of the National Science Foundation. orship Directory (Baptist ‘EpiscopaC Fellowship Free Will Baptist Church College & Career Class You are invited to a Bible Study especially for students.

(AP) — There is noth ing more for Texas to know about Stanford or Stanford to know about Texas. Ten meetings in a period of 15 months have provided all the education either team needs heading into Thursday s semi final showdown in the College World Series. “Now it comes down to baseball,” said Longhorn catcher Ryan Hubele. Hubele sees it as a plus when two teams know each other as well as these two. “We’re familiar with their team. They’re familiar with us. It just comes down to baseball. You take all the vari ables out, what you don’t know about the other team, their pitchers, their hitters. You throw it all out and it’s just about base ball,” he said. Stanford holds a 6-4 edge in those past 10 games. The Cardinal sidelined Texas in last year’s regional at Palo Alto, Calif. The Longhorns won one of three regu lar-season meetings this season but came out on top of an 8-7 contest with the Cardinal in the second round of the CWS. Texas led 7-2 after four innings and had to hold on for the win. Stanford rebounded with a 5-3 win over Notre Dame in a Tuesday elimination game to set up the semifinal rematch. Another game with Texas was OK with Cardinal center fielder Sam Fuld. He hit .500 against the Longhorns in the tfe earlier meetings and was 3-for-5 again. Texas on Monday at the CWS. “They provide great competition fort so any time you get that, I don’t think)« get tired of it,” he said. Texas coach Augie Garrido said itwii be a game of mutual respect, the typed rivalry college baseball needs to seemon often. “1 think we do have a rivalry wit them,” Hubele said. “They’re a great bat club, one of the elite programs in fe nation. We’re up there also. Any time vc. can hook up with them, it’s a goo- matchup. We’ve had competitive game every time we meet them.” Hubele and Fuld also will be renewinj a friendship. They played on Team US.} together last summer with Texas’ Om; Quintanilla and Stanford’s Tim Cunningham and Carlos Quentin. “Those are great guys. I don’t getio talk with them too much. Whenever we’it j on the ball field I talk to them,” Hubek said. “But as soon as they step on the field and the competition starts, I want to bei them that day. “Any time you play a team likf Stanford it is a great challenge,” Hubele said. “And anytime we’ve played them it’s been a great game. Every time wepla; them we look forward to the challenge.' i c Dingerville’ popular at CWS OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The College World Series has been an annual draw for a special kind of baseball fan — those who bring their homes with them to Rosenblatt Stadium. For several decades a small area of grass, and sometimes mud, was home to a dozen or so recreational vehicles. The small community that sprouted every time the College World Series opened in Omaha was called “Dingerville” by the regulars. As the tournament grew and Omaha tried to do more in and around the stadi um, Dingerville became fan parking and a new RV park was fashioned just beyond the left field fences. Instead of fewer than two dozen RVs, this could host 64, com plete with concrete parking and electrical hookups. Many of the regulars were disappoint ed and took their camping business else where. Others have found a home in the new CWS RV city. “We don’t have a name as far as I know,” said Paul Knust of Omaha. He has been camping at the stadium since the new lot went in three years ago. Campers pay $500 to park their RV and $ 10 per day if they bring another vehicle with them. “Some people were upset over the move and costs, but I think the city was doing something more to help the NCAA and city make more money and make it a better event,” Knust said. Knust said the fans still come, includ ing LSU fans even when their Tigers don’t qualify for the national tournament. “Oh, they’re awesome,” Knust said. “Nice people. And there’s quite a few from Texas. A lot are from Nebraska.” Knust has set up a couple of smoker barbecue grills to share with his weeklong neighbors. “That’s what we do here, share food, supplies, stuff like that.” There are license plates from Nebraska, Texas, Louisiana, Indiana and Colorado remaining at the halfway point of the tournament. Augie Garrido says he’s part of a strons Texas family when it comes to schoc pride and winning tradition. The baseball coach in Omaha for Ik College World Series says he gets reguk encouragement from football coach Mac Brown and his staff, and basketball coad Rick Barnes. Fonner football coach an athletic director Daryl Royal has at called. “It’s a strong athletic family, coaches and staff,’’ Garrido said. TEXAS BACKING: Texas coach BREAKING NERVES: Garri, had some experience in helping relax before national champioffitap games. He had to face that situationfom times with Cal State-Fullerton. His Tit® won three of those title games. He recalled this week that one o those previous teams was very nerve® before a national championship ga® Practice was going so badly because® the nerve problems Garrido said stopped the workout. He sent half his team to go cheerK one team in a nearby Little League and the other half to cheer for the youth team. „. “That was our practice that day. said. “Then my motivating talk that da; was ... you know what, you’re so upty you can’t play any way, so what’s then® of it.” He then told his team if they won national championship game, that really going to be fun and if they l title, he was going to Hawaii and thatwa- also going to be fun. ■ “I tried to find something. No ma what happened to them tomorrow, d w I going to be fun for them. That was a o n : time ago, but this team is having fun ing baseball. I love being part or team.” STAT UPDATE: Through lOgame^ the College World Series this year . 1 " tournament was still waiting for its 1 grand slam.
