Ernest said TAMUK has partnered with univer sities along the border to collaborate research of coastlines and with universities in Arizona and California. “The goal for the next five to 10 years is to do research of the entire border region," Ernest said. TAMUK is linked with research centers and labs in Mexico. Ernest said labs in Mexico have a strong interest in the border regions and A&M Kingsville is trying to integrate the research between the United States and Mexico. Dr. Kim Jones, assistant professor of environ mental engineering department in Kingsville, said that while the National Science Foundation research is cutting edge, their program is just get ting started. “Texas A&M Kingsville is a Hispanic-serv- ing institution and our main goal is to get more of those students to go on to graduate school,’* he said.

The senate also passed res olutions offering condolences to Del Mar College in Corpus Christi and the University of Arizona. Del Mar College lost one of its professors in the wake of three tornadoes which NEWS IN BRIEF caused extensive damage to the City of Corpus Christi on Oct. 24. On Oct. 28, the University of Arizona was shocked when a nursing student entered the school with a gun and mur dered three of his instructors.

(AP) — Five killings this sum mer involving couples at Fort Bragg were probably due to existing marital problems and the stress of separation while soldiers are away on duty, Army investigators said Thursday. The investigators also said military culture dis courages soldiers and their families from seeking help when domestic problems can potentially be resolved. The conclusions were in the summary of a report from a 19-member team, including mental and physical health workers and military clergy, who visited the base in August and September. The team also said the anti-malaria drug Lariam, given to troops sent overseas, was unlikely to have been at fault. Side effects of the drug, also known as mefloquine, have been known to include psychotic episodes. Authorities say four Fort Bragg soldiers killed their wives in June and July. Two of the men committed suicide and the other two are charged with murder. Three of those cases involved Special Operations soldiers who had served in Afghanistan. In a fifth case, a woman is charged with killing her husband, a Special Forces major. Investigators interviewed military leaders, doc tors, leaders of family support groups, military and civilian law enforcement, and civilian public health officials. cloning field. Carlson said.
