"When we asked to call the embassy, they told us we were their guests. When anyone tried to leave, they were beaten up.” Finally, Nappi and the other 60 international pro testers were escorted to a flight leaving Beijing and identified as terrorists to the other passengers. Nappi said he hopes that President Bush will sit down with Jiang at his Crawford ranch and ask him what is going on with the human rights violations in China. Nappi said a lot of Falun Gong members in China practice in secret. “There were 200 million people doing it when they cracked down on it (in 1999)," Nappi said. “They outnumbered the Communist Party two to one. The Communists thought Falun Gong mem bers were taking over.” Chan said Falun Gong is not a political organization. “We have a series of five exercises we go through, and we practice truthfulness, compassion and tolerance,” Chan said. Kent McKinney, a Falun Gong activist, came to Texas this week from Florida to participate in demonstrations before Jiang's talk. “Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning China s actions toward Falun Gong," he said. “1 am here to raise awareness among students. This method has proven very effective in the past.” Falun Gong members will protest Thursday in front of the Presidential Conference Center from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in a designated free speech area. McKinney said. Jiang is slated to speak at 11:15 a.m. “We’ve already worked it out with the police how this protest is going to work,” Nappi said. “We're going to meditate and then raise a sign. We want the president to see us.” Becky O’Brien, a senior customer service assis tant at Scheduling and Serv ices, which handles all the free speech areas on campus, said that Falun Gong has registered to speak in the Academic Plaza near the Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue Tuesday and Thursday. The space around the MSC was already booked, she said. “Anyone is welcome to use that area,” O'Brien said. “They just have to schedule it through me to make sure that space is available and then (Associate Director of the University Center Complex) Dennis Busch signs off on it. If we think there's going to be a problem, we will alert security and police.” Working ou y as sleeping [class for Jillian electrical engir '-'rp^esis 1 "" "'"'I l" doHs^l^bics instni' m water resources,’ Jeiis(| Recreat i 0 n Cer said.

Old cation TiiMS Continued from page 1 Aerospace Technology for NASA, said that some of this technology is only a decade away from application. Tenney said the United States has lost its dominance in the aerospace industry to European competitors because of subsidies to private industry. Reischman said TiiMS will train the next generation of NASA engineers. The amount of engineers reaching the retirement age is causing a work force dilemma in the aero space industry. “This is more than just research dollars. stressful day.
