Our class read your article about the russian space Mirror feb. 4and we decided to recreate the process artificially in the classroom. 1 familiarized the students with the natural science of the Sun and Earth a relationship. On the chalkboard i simulated How the rays of the Sun struck the Earth on one Side and How it remained dark on the other. I then introduced the Mirror con capt and explained its function according to your article. We simulated the process by having one student hold a Globe Over his head another held a flashlight and beamed it at the Earth. I held a Mirror of in orbit adjacent to the Globe and reflected the Light to the a night Side of the Earth. We turned out the lights to realize the maximum effect. The students were ecstatic. We would like to claim the Fame of being the first class in the department of defense dependents schools and maybe any school to re create this Experiment in a classroom setting since the information was just released. We accomplished the Experiment at 9 55 , and completed it by 10 . On feb. 4,1993. With All the bad news we thought you might want to hear some Good news and to know that our school is on the a cutting Edge of new science technology. A Robert j. Hall Hohenfels German students left a in lurch the announcement that Boston University a overseas program will discontinue classes after the summer term has created pandemonium in the Boston University by academic Community. Or. Lamb vice president of the overseas program put things into perspective when he said that cancelling by s program will put Many students a in the lurch not to mention faculty and employees. 1 am a by student in my second semester of the master of science in business administration program. 1 have been told that 1 should look into transferring my by credit into one of the other available programs. I like All of the other by students 1 have talked with find this alternative unacceptable for several reasons. First there is no other Mesba degree currently being offered. Also no other available program compares with bus in Quality of instruction 100 percent of bus professors hold doctorate curriculum or reputation. As a testimony to How much difference it makes to by students Many of us Are now bracing ourselves to spend thousands of dollars not covered by tuition assistance or veterans affair sin an Effort to a a cram in the required courses before the August deadline. Aside from placing extreme academic demands on students who fall into this category Fame. By life will also be jeopardized. A More equitable solution would be a Compromise Between Usa eur by and the students. We All know the Bottom line in military service contracts is Price not Quality so if by must go so be it. However before pulling out by should be obliged to provide a reasonable amount of time for students currently enrolled to finish their degrees. By authorities have expressed a desire to be cooperative and help the students in any Way they can. It seems that losing the contract has come As a Surprise to everyone involved in the program a All the Way from the top. Usa eur needs to allow by to carry out its obligation to the students. In the context of the draw Down unemployment and simmering economic recession it is now More important than Ever to invest in a Quality education to be prepared for the future. The by overseas program has been providing just that for . Personnel and their families for almost 30 years. If nothing is done about the current situation hundreds of us really will be left a in the lurch a a. Kennedy.

I recognize Freedom , and i am not saying that Charles Kaufman had no right to draft his comic. 1 am however questioning the integrity of the stars and stripes for printing such a strip. I was under the impression that the paper was recently making efforts to upgrade its Quality. I am curious As to How this  could have made a contribution to the higher standards of the newspaper. Indeed there is quite a bit of controversy about the admittance of homosexuals into the military. One thing that is not needed is a biased strip that is hardly Subtle in denigrating a minority protected by the Constitution and judicial systems of the United states. The ban on Gays has been in effect for 10 years i would safely assume from his tonal accounts of past wars that the armed forces succeeded with Many minorities in their ranks.

All that any Parent can ask is that every boy or girl on the team gets to play somewhere near half of the game youth services leagues Are supposed to be noncompetitive. Everyone should learn the skills according to his age group and hopefully develop a love for the game. I  dare try to Tell anyone what to think How to act or what to do with his or her life.

The strip subtitled a. Memorable firsts in the . Military after the ban on Gays game situations Are the Best place to learn and getting to play a a minutes in a game is very crucial. Yet every weekend i see coaches who place winning the game above letting less skilled players get experience. They play their Best players Many minutes More than the other kids. This situation can be corrected. The youth services representative at the game can clock the kids in and out and ensure that the coach follows guidelines. Parents should demand that their child gets to play in half of the game. If we All demand that the rules Are followed then the problem will go away. A James r.
