“The birds are so loud that you can barely sleep
in the morning or study,” Friemel said. “I can’t
wait to get rid of them with my BB gun.”

shared their experiences,
Hastedt said.
“He liked to catalog human
life,” Hastedt said.
Doisneau used his wit when
taking his photographs, often
producing pictures that looked
staged, Hastedt said. Dosineau’s
most famous photograph is
“Kiss by the Hotel de Ville.”
“It’s a neat juxtaposition to
see someone trained in photo
journalism and advertising mak
ing art,” Hastedt said.
“Photography students will
learn a lot from his techniques.”
Karen Hillier, professor of
visualization science in the
graduate department of the
College of Architecture at
A&M, said photography is
important because it is a tool for
artists to use that allows their
audience to see their perception
of the world.
“Experiencing something
that grows out of a creative
impulse shows us what it’s like
to be alive,” Hillier said.
Hillier has been interested in
photography for 35 years. She
said art helps sustain people in
the drudgery of their daily lives.
“Everyone needs to immerse
themselves with art,” Hillier
said. “It enriches their life.”

biomedical sciences major,

of it,” Fry said.
Fry said Mitchell also provided the funding
for Stephen Hawking, a famous physicist, to lec

Mitchell provided funding for the Stephen
Hawking Chair in Fundamental Physics, the
Mitchell/Heep Chair in Theoretical High Energy
Physics, and a chair in both atomic and biomed
ical physics. Two more chairs will be complet
ed soon, Fry said.
On Wednesday, Mitchell is expected to give
$1.25 million for a partnership in the Giant

NEWS IN BRIEF
Bush wants to be sure Saddam
will stay in jail before turning
him over to Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush insisted Tuesday
he must have assurances Saddam Hussein will stay in
jail and not return to power before releasing him to Iraq's
interim government, refusing to commit to the June 30
timetable envisioned by Iraq’s new prime minister.
Bush’s reluctance to turn over Saddam raised new
questions about the extent of Iraq’s authority when
the interim government claims sovereignty from the
U.S.-led coalition on June 30. Bush has encountered
widespread skepticism from world leaders about
whether the United States truly intends to relinquish
control, with 135,000 American troops remaining in
Iraq to maintain security.
Asserting anew that the new government would be
sovereign, Bush backed away from a U.S. confronta
tion with Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical Shiite cleric
whose troops have led an insurgency against the II:
led occupation. Bush said it would be up to the!
authorities to deal with al-Sadr, who has been nair
by U.S. officials in an arrest warrant in the assess
tion of a moderate rival cleric.
Blair takes on fight to secure
ED constitution
LONDON (AP) — Bruised by disastrous
results, Prime Minister Tony Blair took on a newt
Tuesday to persuade his skeptical nation of the r
for a European Union constitution.
His difficulty was underscored in Europe
Parliament elections last week, when one in sixvottj
backed a party advocating immediate British#
drawal from the bloc. Blair’s Labour Party captif
only 23 percent of the vote in the European electif
and slumped to third place in local British council'i
loting conducted the same day — the worst result
a governing party since World War II.
