The three finalists to become
China’s first “taikonaut” (TYE’
koh-nawt) were reportedly wail
ing at a Gobi Desert launch base
near this dusty city of concrete
apartment buildings in the remote
northwest.
Security was tight around tlie
remote base, some 175 miles
northeast of Jiuquan: Cars were
turned back and phone calls to the:
base were blocked.
‘it’s a big thing for the conn-;
try,” said Zhang Ming, a man
buying a leather jacket in Jiuquan
on Tuesday.
The astronaut candidates -
all fighter pilots — were to under
go final tests as little as one hour,
before the flight, state media said;
The government’s Xinhua News;
Agency has said the “No. 1 astro
naut” among them would go up
— the strongest sign yet that the
flight will carry only one person.
People’s Daily said the
Shenzhou 5 capsule had complet
ed its own final tests and, on;
Tuesday, was “sitting on the
launch pad with more fuel being
injected.”
Interns

Another objective of the pro
gram is to increase the number of
qualified applicants for profes
sional positions at A&M as it will
be providing students with the
experience needed to apply for
these jobs. If this objective is car
ried out, qualified students will be
able to move into staff positions.
“Many students enjoy the
atmosphere of College Station
and the dynamic environment of
such a broad reaching university
and would prefer to utilize their
skills in an academic setting ver
sus a corporate one,” Carter said
“In order to do so, they must have
certain experiences under their
belt, and this program is formulat
ed to provide that.”
The SGA will be assisting in
the promotion of the program,
fulfilling the platform initiativeof
Student Body President Matt
Josefy.
“The platform initiative is to
take an active role in informing
students of their opportunities,
because many times students are
the best marketing device a pro
gram or department can utilize,!
Carter said.
Internships are one of the ini
tiatives that will be discussed at a
forum focus on the entire scope of
Experiential Education.
A second initiative that will be
discussed at the forum are the
Student Services initiative, aimed
at providing students with an
opportunity to work hands on
with their instructors to aid in the
development and improvement of.
services for students on campus.
Carter said. The third initiative on
the agenda is a program that wif
give students the opportunity
have individuals in their area of
study teach a class.
The program will be held Nov
11 at 5:15 p.m. in MSC 292A.

The map “is an unprecedented
and unconstitutional attempt to
replace a legal and fair map with
an illegal plan to try to guarantee
victory for seven Republican
politicians by disenfranchising
minority Texans and silencing
rural communities and independ
ent voters,” Frost said. “It’s a bru
tal and ugly trade-off: Seven GOP
politicians win, but 3.6 million
minority Texans lose.”
The map reduces the number
of effective minority districts in
Texas from 11 to 10, he said.
Republicans have disputed
that analysis, saying the new
map adds a new minority dis
trict in Houston and another in
South Texas. Lawmakers
worked with attorneys as they
drafted the maps, said Bob
Richter, spokesman for
Republican Texas House
Speaker Tom Craddick.
“We believe it is a legal map,
and we’re going to leave it to the
attorney general’s office to
defend it,” Richter said.
“We intend to defend the
state’s redistricting plan and we
anticipate the Department of
Justice and the courts will
uphold the plan,” said Angela
Hale, a spokeswoman for Texas
Attorney General Greg Abbott.
