Beaver
Continued from page 1
Beaver said as president-elect she plans to travel
about 200 days out of the year and even more in
the future. She said the job of president is more
than being a spokeswoman for the 69,000-member
organization.
In the meantime, Beaver said she loves being a
professor because she can interact with students
who are attending school because they chose to.
“The biggest challenge is to point them in
the right direction and then get out of the way,’’
she said.
Beaver credits much of her success to the peo
ple who work around her.
“No one person accomplishes anything alone,"
she said. “I’ve had the support of some really greal
people who have been very nurturing, very kind
and very helpful.
“And that’s important to acknowledge, but it’s
also my responsibility to do the same for others in
ways where I have had that opportunity.”
Iraq
Continued from page 1
told The Associated Press in
Tikrit, Saddam’s hometown.
“We estimate he’s not staying
more than four hours at the same
place,” she said. “But the man’s
been a master of hiding all his
life.”
Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a Shiite
Muslim and chief spokesman
for the Islamic Dawa Party,
which was banned during
Saddam’s rule, was picked to be
the first of nine men who will
serve one-month stints leading
postwar Iraq. He will hold the
presidency in August.
Selecting a president had
been a contentious issue as eth
nic and political groups wrestled
for a share of power. In the end.
the 25-member Governing
Council decided to rotate the
presidency alphabetically
among the nine members chosen
Tuesday.
The council will control
spending and set in place the
mechanism for writing a new
constitution. A council source
told AP that a Cabinet will be
named soon.
Members of die council met
with World Bank President
James Wolfensohn, who said the
institution must first decide what
constitutes a legally recognized
government before it can lend
money to Iraq for reconstruc
tion.
“Clearly a constitution and
an elected government would
constitute a recognized govern
ment, but what do we do in the
meantime?” Wolfensohn said.
“It’s a subject that needs inter
pretation.”
After the council met in
Baghdad’s Convention Center, a
member lashed out at Arab
League Secretary-General Amr
Moussa for failing to recognize
the interim government’s
authority. He said the council
would not send representatives
to the Cairo, Egypt-based organ
ization, the region’s most impor
tant, if often ineffectual, political
body.
“We don’t want to go where
we are not welcome,” council
member Naseer Kamel aT
Chaderchi told Al-Jazeera, tht
Qatar-based Arab satellite net
work.
Moussa, in an interview witli
CNN from the United Nations,
stood by his assessment of the
council, saying it was “a step in
the right direction” but not rep
resentative of the Iraqi people.
“We want them (the
Americans) also to know dial
this is an abnormal situation and
cannot continue in this way,’’
Moussa said.
It was unclear whether he
knew of the council’s decision to
boycott the Arab League.
The council decision came a
day after an audiotape attributed
to Saddam said it was “good
news” that his sons Odai and
Qusai Hussein were killed ina
July 22 shootout with U.S. sol
diers because they now were
martyrs.
The tape appeared to erase
any remaining doubt among
Iraqis that the feared brothers
were dead. A CIA official said
Wednesday on condition of
anonymity that the tape
appeared to be authentic.
Construction
Continued from page 1
TS is working with the various constituent
groups to find an access area for all commuters
while minimizing inconveniences for others,
Williams said.
Williams said other problems have been
addressed dealing with special needs and road
signs.
Due to the amount of construction, several
campus buses have been rerouted; however, no
major problems have been reported.
“The only reroute that has caused problems
was when we had to move all of the buses out of
the Trigon due to a leak at Hart Hall,” said Kathie
Mathis, associate director of TS. “This was done
on an emergency basis and the buses had to move
out of the Trigon by midday. Anytime something
like this happens midday there will be some pas
senger confusion.”
No reroutes due to construction are anticipated
for the fall, Mathis said.
Rodney Weis, director of TS, said most people
are understanding and patient with the changes.
“Most of our customers understand that con
struction projects are usually the result ofgrowtli
and changes at A&M that will eventually enhance
the quality of life or the quality of education,”
Weis said. “They will also agree that the short
term inconveniences are well worth it when given
the long term benefits.”
The West Campus Parking Garage and pas
sageway, the football complex, the Wehner
Building extension and the Chemical Engineering
Building are all ongoing construction projects,
Completion of these projects is scattered
throughout the next year, Williams said.
The West Campus Parking Garage and pas
sageway should be complete prior to the fall
semester and will open for the first football game,
said Theo Rouse, director of construction for the
office of facilities planning and construction.
The football complex is scheduled to open
mid-August, Rouse said.
Rouse said the parking garage will be an
advantage for those using the Student
Recreation Center, Reed Arena or attending
football games. The garage will have 3,700
available parking spaces.
The Wehner Building extension is approaching
completion and the Chemical Engineering
Building is expected to open next summer.
