The situation can be reassessed in a GIS model to predict future problems and create trends of more sustainable development. “Our model can be used not only for New Minia City, but also for any city with similar geo logic and geomorphologic settlings across the world ” he said. Andrew Klein, professor of remote sensing and GIS in the Department of Geography, said Aly’s work underscores the difficulties in apply ing new technologies such as GIS to aid in deci sion-making in developing areas around the world. He also said that much of the information that is available in the United States, such as maps of topography and geology, Eire not avail able in other parts of the w orld, w hich limits the complexity of the models that can be developed to aid in the planning process. “Aly’s research illustrates very well how devel oping countries can use new' technologies to improve the planning decision process,” Klein said. Klein said the work Aly completed is a helpful first step to better utilizing environmental infor mation in the planning processes. Now that the research about the foundation flaws of Egypt's developing cities is complete, Aly is preparing a new proposal to study surface deformations of the Nile River Delta, which is one of his home country's greEitest problems. He will be using radar interferometry and GIS tech niques to conduct this research. Reveille Continued from page 1A a normal reac- Caddick said i tion for a dog. Reveille then jumped off the steps of the Y.M.C.A. Building, mildly injuring herself. Van Alstyne said a football game can be stressful on the dog and instead of attending yell practice, she should have rested. “I saw her yesterday and could tell she was sore, she usu ally is fidgety but she just let me pet her all I wanted,” Van Alstyne said. Reveille is staying in the dorm this week instead of accompanying Caddick to class, awaiting a trip to the veterinari an prior to the football game against Missouri to find out if she'll be well enough to attend. Van Alstyne said. Over the summer break, Caddick said he did not expect what he was in for when he took the responsibility of caring for Reveille. “I would get up at six in the morning and take her to the bathroom and then get back in bed and try to sleep until noon,” Criddick said “She would run between me and my parents try ing to wake us up and she wouldn't rest until someone got up.” During the first week of classes. Reveille barked enough to dismiss a class, Caddick said. But the downside of the new restaurant policy means Caddick, who always hcis Reveille with him, can’t trike a Mexico Continued from page 1A availability and quality of health care in South Texas and the border area, said Dr. Elvin E. Smith, executive vice president of the Texas A&M Health Science Center. “The U.S. and Mexico have a number of agree ments concerning issues like water and air pollu tion. It’s only logical to study health implications as well,” Smith said. The project is set to start once a steering com mittee is identified, Dickey said.

Everything is pretty much the same except the restaurant thing.” Reveille is still ei puppy, he said — collies do not normally mature until age three. She barks and is excitable. But overall.
