Spíiygy T y m o o D ecem ber 21 Soldier: In Iraq till 2007 (Continued from page 1) Boise and his fellow soldiers filled the backpacks with school supplies and took them to local schools. “Once they saw the bags they just kind of swarmed around us,” he said. “That’s a good feel ing though, afterwards, when you’re driving back to the base.” They were able to distribute supplies to about five schools, Boise said, and that included about 800 students. For the Iraqi people, the do nation of school supplies meant a lot, Boise said. “They were very happy,” he added. “Some of them don’t really have money. There’s a lot of poverty over there. I see them make their houses every day out of mud.” Many of the people don’t react negatively to the U.S. military’s presence in Iraq, Boise said. “Some villages, they’re neu Meteorites: They’re actually quite common (Continued from page 1) “T hey’re everyw here,” he said. “There’s one within a mile of us right now.” In the past, farming tech niques aided the discovery of meteorites. Pugh explained, “Of all the instruments we have, the plow has found more meteorites than any other instrument.” The sixth-largest meteorite in the w orld was found in ‘Silent Message' (Continued from page 1) In W hite’s opinion, “It takes a special person to want to attack this problem. It’s true that some of those in d iv id u als have gone through it, so to re-live it that way is very hard, but very ad mirable.” As for the future of the film, White said, “I think this will just continue to get big ger.

Boise added, “In return they’ll take the water and go make tea and bring it back out to us.” “The tea is really good,” he said. “It’s sugary though.” The local cuisine is something that Boise and his fellow soldiers have had the opportunity to ex perience several times. According to Boise, he and other soldiers have been invited to dine with the Iraqi people twice—once when the people were thanking them for the do nation of school supplies and once when the Iraqi chief of police was retiring. The menu included local food, Boise said, and at one point they ate sheep’s brain. In B oise’s opinion, “The brain was actually pretty good. It fell apart in my hand.” “I just ate it straight from the skull,” he said. “They took the wool off or whatever is on the face and stuck it in a big pot and boiled it.” When they ran out of meat from the head itself, a local man pulled open the skull and the brain fell out for them to eat.
