A microwave link between the
Texas A&M University College of
Medicine and its Temple campus
will begin operating this month
and is predicted to be a substantial
time-saver.
The microwave link will pro
vide a closed-circuit television
system to be used for everything
from committee meeetings to
taped lectures.
The microwave system, includ
ing a relay tower, cost $251,000.
“This system will decrease
travel expenses and time spent on
the road between College Station
and Temple,” Dr. Elvin Smith,
associate dean of the College of
Medicine, said.
“The microwave system in
volves equipment that will con
vert television signals from Tem
ple to microwave,” he said. “The
relay tower will transmit them
here and at this end we will con
vert them back into television sig
nals.
“Microwave wavelengths can’t
travel from Temple to College Sta
tion, so a relay station was built in
Cause.” Cause is located halfway
between the two cities.
“The 199-foot tower will receive
the signal, amplify it and retrans
mit it,” he said.
John Culpepper of Bryan don
ated two acres of land for the sta
tion, which has been named Hen
derson Station in memory of his
mother.
Part of the $17 million Veterans
Administration grant for the
medical program was earmarked
for the link between College Sta
tion and Temple, Smith said.
But the upcoming system will
also provide a new component to
the existing linkage between the
Scott and White Clinic and Hos
pital in Temple and the Temple,
Marlin and Waco VA hospitals,
Smith said.
As part of this system, television
facilities are located at each of
these places, Smith said.
“The system will increase the
interaction between us and the
Temple campus, and certainly the
frequency of the interactions,”
Smith said.
The Temple campus is part of
the College of Medicine at Texas
A&M.
“I want to dispense with the
idea that the Temple campus is a
separate component,” Smith said.
“The College of Medicine consists
of the Texas A&M campus and the
Temple campus.”
It’s not unusual for the teaching
hospital to be separated from the
basic sciences portion of a medical
school. Smith said, and in this case
the students are at Texas A&M for
two years and Temple two years.
The College of Medicine has
people on the staff who are qual
ified to run the system, Smith
said. This includes running the
cameras and repairing them when
necessary.

ot the midterm blues?
CS may be able to help
mtinga
By KATHLEEN WLATREK
Battalion Reporter
If midterms or approaching fin
als have got you nervous or de-
ressed, the Personal Counseling
ervice may be able to help.
The PCS deals with problems
ultwalti 0 f personal concern that all stu-
I dents may encounter, says Dr.
Larry Roe, assistant director of the
PCS. They include self image, so
cial relationships, male and female
relationships, pre-marital and
larital relationships.
| Roe said that the most common
Complaints are depression and
anxiety. Anxiety may be caused by-
competition at college, fear of fai-
®ire, approaching tests and the
thought of what will happen upon
[^graduating from school.
, , 1 “The high pressure environ-
the bai hient of Texas A&M can cause
light?fif' much anxiety,” Roe said,
jd andf'" f ' The PCS sees a rise in the num-
[00 pertt-her °f students with emotional
sr as advi’Problems before tests and one or
' to weeks prior to finals, he said.
The staff is made up of seven
ill-time senior staff counselors
jho are licensed psychologists,
|>ur full-time psychology interns
tnd two part-time consulting
psychiatrists.
Sullivail The PCS runs on an appoint
ment basis. These can be made at
107 YMCA or by calling 845-4227
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to
5 p.m.
“If an appointment is not avail
able within two weeks, the stu
dent will be put on a waiting list, ”
Roe said.
There is always a counselor on
duty in case of emergency.
Last semester, the PCS saw 600
patients, made 2,500 counseling
contacts and by the end of the
semester had a 60-person waiting
list.
Because of the great number of
students using the PCS, Roe said,
the staff will counsel a student only
as long as a semester. But the PCS
will not refuse anyone in an
emergency.
The PCS also works in conjunc
tion with the A. P. Beutel Health
Center if a patient needs coun
seling.
