Motorcycle traffic up;
University plans new lot
by Tammy Jones
Battalion Reporter
Local Suzuki and Yamaha
dealers say motorcycle sales are
down, but University Police
Chief Russ McDonald says
motorcycle traffic on campus
has doubled since last year.
This fall, 1,146 motorcycle
and moped parking permits
have been issued compared to
last fall’s 600. And McDonald
says that has caused some prob
lems.
“Naturally, the increase is be
cause motorcylces and moped s
are an economical way of trans
portation,” McDonald said. The
biggest problem with the motor
cycles is the students who drive
them refuse to park in desig
nated lots, he said.
“On both sides of G. Rollie
White Coliseum, there are num
erous motorcycle parking
spaces, but students seem to pre
fer parking on the sidewalk in
front of the Memorial Student
Center,” he said.
The University Police are
concerned about the hazard
these motorcycles on the side
walks may be to pedestrian
traffic.
The University plans to build
a new motorcyle parking lot
next to the Print Center on Ire
land Street which should have
room for 100 or more motorcy
cles.
Issuing parking tickets to the
motorcycles is not the answer to
the problem, he said, because it
doesn’t seem to discourage driv
ers. And unless the motorcycles
are obstructing pedestrian or
vehicle traffic, they are low
priority compared to car lots.
Mopeds have not posed a traf
fic problem so far, mainly be
cause they can be parked in the
bicycle racks, he said.
While the number of motor
cycles on campus has increased,
students don’t seem to be buying
many locally.
Joe Fisher of University Cy
cles, Inc., and Bill Aymond, of
the Suzuki Sports Center, both
agree that motorcycles are not
being bought locally since stu
dents have difficulty getting
loans. Because of high accident
rates, theft and unpaid loans,
most local banks won’t even talk
to a student about a motorcycle
loans, Aymond said.
C’mon, buy one!

[Students used in flu study
by Diane Yount
Battalion Reporter
When the hacking, wheezing,
oughing, sneezing, fever-
ridden flu strikes, a research
Beam of doctors and volunteers
from Texas A&M University
and Baylor University strike
back.
Each year, student volunteers
are vaccinated and observed
throughout the flu season. The
study determines if the vaccines
prevent flu epidemics.
“This is part of the govern
ment work to stop the flu,” Dr.
John Quarles Jr., assistant pro
fessor of medicine, said. “We
(Texas A&M and Baylor) are
now the main group doing these
studies for the nation.”
The National Institute of
Health controls funds that the
national government budgets
for flu research programs across
the United States.
“Right now we’re just getting
set up,” Quarles said. “The flu
has been relatively low on cam
pus. Only about 25 percent of
the student body get the flu each
year, but you can’t wait until an
epidemic starts.”
At Texas A&M, the typical flu
season lasts from early January
through spring break, Quarles
said. The student volunteers are
being tested for previous expo
sure to viruses, in the form of
vaccines or earlier bouts with the
illness.
“What we’re looking for this
year is people who aren’t already
protected,” Quarles said. “We’ve
taken blood samples from a little
over 3,000 people and we expect
to screen that sample down to
about 1,000.”
Because a flu virus can
change from year to year, flu
studies are conducted each sea
son to improve the vaccines that
combat the different strains of
flu.
“If you receive an innocula-
tion from a doctor, the shot
usually has a vaccine for three
different strains of flu,” Quarles
said.
“This year we are comparing
a vaccine given in a shot with a
vaccine administered through
nose drops. The nose drop idea
is better if it will work as well as
the shot. Some people just don’t
like shots and won’t come in for
a vaccine.”
Volunteers who go through
the entire program will receive
about $60 to fill out data cards,
give blood samples and report to
the researchers each week.
“Innoculations will begin at
the end of October,” Quarles
said. “We’ll probably find our
first case after Christmas. Stu
dents go home and come back
sick.”
Flu is an acute respiratory dis
ease that has an entire body re
sponse.
“Your head aches, your back
aches, your chest hurts, your
whole body gets sick and fights
back,” Quarles says. “A cold is
not as severe, doesn’t happen as
fast and usually doesn’t involve
your whole body.
“These vaccines have been
worked on in the laboratory for
a number of years. Now it is our
job to do a real world study.
We’re just trying to stop the ill
ness.”
