Career Services provides
dining etiquette seminar
Students can learn about dining etiquette at 6 p.m. today in the
University Center Concho Room.
Career Services Director Barbara Peet said the seminar is designed
to help put students at ease during a business event or luncheon.
Proper etiquette helps in other situations including dates, she
said.
“Etiquette doesn’t change whether you’re having
a business meal or a social meal,” she said.
The event will include instructions on what people should eat —
spaghetti and fried chicken are not recommended — and not
to order unfamiliar foods. Students will also learn about place
settings, what to do if they spill something and appropriate conversation
topics.
When people have good manners, others may not notice, Peet said.
But “when they have really poor manners, you notice it immediately,”
she added.
The free event includes a meal. Call 817-272-2932 for reservations.

Researchers to discuss grizzly bear population
A science professor will discuss bears during breakfast from 6:45
to 8 a.m. Wednesday in the Nedderman Hall Rady Room.
Science Assistant Dean Paul Medley will discuss the endangered species’
feeding habits. Finding and protecting food sources may help researchers
count the bear population, he said.
Engineering Associate Professor Ernest Crosby said researchers use
geographic information systems to track bears by looking at where
they live.
Dr. Medley’s research in wildlife and fisheries helps predict
critical feeding locations of grizzly bears in Glacier National
Park, located in Montana.
The College of Engineering and the Mid-Cities Technical Club is
sponsoring the presentation, called “Baggin’ Bears Without
Bullets: A High-Tech Approach to Grizzly Bear Population Management.”
Members get in free, and others can purchase tickets for $10. E-mail
rsvp2mctc@cs.com for reservations.
