Medical team to hold
ood pressure check
by Michelle Powe
Battalion Reporter
SOn Valentines Day, hearts are
familiar symbol of love. But to
K Texas A&M emergency care
Im, the condition of the heart
Bbea matter of life or death.
To protect the condition of
te heart, the care team wil! con-
uct a blood pressure screening
ieb. 14 — 15 in the Memorial
Student Center,
invita coil I'Th e screening takes a few mi-
Butes and is free of charge, said
Gonzales, an emergency
^^^ntelical technician at A.P.
Behtel Health Center. The
screening will run from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m.
Gonzales said the emergency
care team likes to have the
screening «)n Valentine’s Day be
cause it seems more appropriate
with all the hearts everywhere.
He said the team hopes people
will care enough to tell their
friends about the importance of
the screening.
People tend to think they
don’t need to worry about high
blood pressure when they’re
young, he said. But it’s impor
tant to catch the condition,
which rarely causes noticeable
symptoms, at an early stage.
It’s important for people over
40 years old to have their blood
pressure checked twice a year
and for younger people to have
their pressure checked at least
once a year, he said.
The emergency medical tech
nicians at the health center are
trained to check blood pressure
and are available to do so be
tween 7:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. at no
cost.

Airport
to receive
funds
by Larry Couvillon
Battalion Reporter
The Brazos Valley Develop
ment Council approved a
$702,450 proposal Thursday
that would maintain operation
of Easterwood Airport. The
proposal will improve an ex
isting runway, provide a new
taxiway and enhance the overall
safety of the airport.
Don Robinson, the assistant
manager of aviation services at
Easterwood, said the changes
are in the infant stages.
“You’re not going to see bull
dozers out here tomorrow,” he
said. The repairs are general
maintanence to keep the airport
functioning.
Almost half of the money will
be used for runway upkeep. A
new 550-foot taxiway also will be
constructed. About a third of
the $702,450 will buy new fire
fighting equipment. The rest of
the money is for taxiway lighting
and directional signs.
The development council,
which covers seven counties,
also agreed to donate $2,000 to
the Texas A&M Department of
Urban and Regional Planning.
The money will be used for re
search on demography^ land
use, transportation and hous
ing. Bryan and College Station
will donate $2,000 each for the
information service.
The committee also decided
to support three proposed bills
in the Texas Senate. All three
bills are designed to curb DWI
offenses.
The first hill offers the follow
ing changes: mandatory jail
terms for second offenders, rais
ing minimum fines, mandatory
educational courses on all
offenses and raising drivers
license suspension.
The second bill would pro
hibit drinking while driving and
would make any driver with an
open alcohol container in his
vehicle subject to arrest. The
third bill would generate funds
for new rehabilitation centers
for alcoholics by raising liquor
permit and license fees.
