“I’m not taking it (summer
school) at A&M this year, but I
probably will next year,” Taylor
said. “I’m going to Victoria
College in Victoria, Texas. It’s
cheaper there.”
Enrollment into summer
school has remained relatively
balanced in the past few years,
as 18,624 students matriculated
in summer 200.1; 19,159 in 2002
and 18,637 in 2001.
Pettibon said encouraging stu
dents to attend summer school
increases the chance they will be
able to graduate in four years.
“Financial aid provides many
students the opportunity to pur
sue their educational goals who
would not be able to do so with
out it,” Pettibon.
The first summer session will
last from June 1 to July 2, and
the second summer session will
be from July 6 through August 9.
Preregistration dates and
times for summer school will
be e-mailed to students’ Neo e-
mail accounts on April 3.
Regular registration will begin
April 8.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Hope fades for finding
survivors of down helicopter
HOUSTON (AP) — Prospects for finding sur
vivors from a helicopter down in the Gulf of
Mexico dimmed Thursday as searchers came
up with little else a day after finding four bodies
and pieces of wreckage.
The Era Aviation Inc. helicopter last reported
in about 7 p.m. Tuesday as it ferried two pilots
and eight contractors to a drilling ship in the
western gulf. Among the items found floating
Wednesday about 60 miles south of Galveston
was an Era life jacket.
According to Chief Warrant Officer Adam Wine
of the Coast Guard, a normally clothed person
could expect to last about 30 hours in the Gulf
waters, where temperatures are estimated]
the upper 60s.
“But individuals can often overcome mot
Wine said.
A Coast Guard jet used infrared scanners
search through Wednesday night and
Thursday. Helicopters hit the air for a se
day shortly after dawn but had come up em
as of early Thursday afternoon.
“We are actively searching "Wine said."
are still people out there.”
High seas hampered ship-based eft
Thursday morning, Wine said.
Searchers on Thursday found the h
radar dome around midday about 30
northwest of the search zone. Several ci|
aircraft and ships were helping the CoastGm
comb the region.
