and finance.
"Redman brings a broad array of valuable
experience and new perspectives to this expanded
position, and we look forward to her providing
creative leadership in making the best possible use
of our financial resources, “Gates said in a state
ment in December.
Redman graduated from A&M in 1980 with a

American Institute of Certified Public

“1 am honored to be named to this position and

Mad Cow
Continued from page 1A
"(Mad cow disease) cannot
be detected until an animal is
dead because the disease is in
the brain,” Shields said.
The stable prices and confi
dent attitude in the area have
contributed to a rise in prices,
and in some places, a rise in
consumption.
Satchel’s, a local restaurant,
took advantage of the
Washington discovery and start
ed offering a 'mad cow special'
with sandw iches for 75 cents.
"We have noticed an increase
in the price of meat ” said Patricia
Romig, manager of Satchel’s.
"We haven't had any decline in
sales. In fact, because of the spe
cial, the sales have gone up.”
Local grocery stores, such as
HEB, also noticed an increase in
beef prices and assure their cus
tomers of the quality of their beef.
“The guys in charge of the
meat department e-mail us if
something goes wrong,” said
David Clark, a meat clerk at HEB.
“We get our meat from places in
Nebraska and Corpus Christi.”
Mark McCaig, communica
tions director for the Young
Conservatives of Texas (YCT) at
A&M, acknowledges the
importance of beef to the com
munity. The YCT sponsored
November’s first annual ‘Bevo
Burn,’ which involved the roast
ing of an entire calf.
“(The discovery of mad cow
disease) could cause some dis
ruption and serious problems
with all the people here that are
tied to agriculture,” McCaig
said. “Stuff like that’s been
blown way out of proportion. It
was simply one isolated inci
dent, from Canada of all places.”
Afghan officials say U.S. air
raid in village kills 11 civilians
By Noor Khan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANDAHAR. Afghanistan —
A U.S. air raid in southern
Afghanistan killed 11 villagers,
including four children. Afghan
officials said Monday. The U.S.
military said it killed five militants
in the weekend raid in insurgency-
plagued Uru/gan province.
Sunday’s incident came as
American commanders and
Afghan officials hunt for Taliban
and al-Qaida suspects and try to
improve security in the lawless
south and east ahead of planned
summer elections. , ,,
Their task was highlighted
anew by a bold daylight raid on
a remote military base that
injured three American soldiers.
Abdul Rahman, chief of Char
Chino district in Uruzgan, said the
attack occurred around 9 p.m.
Sunday in Saghatho, a village
where he said U.S. forces hunting
for insurgents had carried out
searches and made several arrests.
He said the victims were out
side a house, and a helicopter was
hovering nearby when “a bi£
plane came and dropped bombs.
“They were simple villagers,
they were not Taliban. 1 don't
know why the U.S. bombed this
home,” he told an Associated
Press reporter by telephone in
the southern city of Kandahar.
