Uses for Pavilion
lounge area studied

IShe Department of Stu-
ient Activities is considering
several ideas for use of the
TivUipty lounge area in the new-
( / Illy reno\.tied l’.i\ iliou.
''I Sutdent Activities Director
Carolyn Adair said her de-
^Rment is not sure what to
do with the open area, but
t they have “lots of ideas.”
Willis Ritchey, assistant re-
, gistrar, said the primary use
,.^"of the area is for registration
^ and drop-add at the begin-
'ningofeach semester.
He said that once registra-
' ' lion is completed, his office is
finished with the area.
HOne option for using the
lkl1 area after registration is to put
inlounge furniture and con-
' vert the area into a student
'hmfre | ()Un ge.
es Prop*«fcave Bergen, student acti-
iu* U. vides adviser, said the Univer-
tehesc s i t y w ill have to pay for any
u consi t yp r of lounge furniture for
the area because no money is
available. He said that Student
Activities will have to organize
the plans before asking for
any funding.
Adair said she is against the
idea because of the difficulty
of moving furniture out and
storing it when the area is to
be used for other purposes.
She hasn’t asked for any
lounge furniture.
A lounge isn’t the only op
tion for the area.
Another option for the
area, Adair said, is to allow va
rious student groups to use it
for blood drives, art exhibits
or student elections.
Donn Friedman, editor of
the Aggieland, said he hopes
the space can be used to distri
bute Aggieland yearbooks.
He said this will help because
it has been difficult in the past
to find an area with enough
room to store the books while
they are being distributed.
Adair said she wants to
allow other groups to sche
dule functions in the Pavilion.
Ritchey said he doesn’t
want any meetings scheduled
in the area before 5 p.m. each
day because of the number of
activities in the building dur
ing the day. Adair will be in
charge of the area after 5 p.m.
Adair said daytime use is
limited due to the snack bar
noise.
She said possible uses of
the area at night could include
folk dancing, showing movies
and having speakers.
Adair said a group from
the Corps of Cadets contacted
her about having a catered
barbeque in the Pavilion.
Adair said other groups
that have moved into the
building probably will want to
use the area. These groups
are Student Government, Stu
dent Y, Off-Campus Aggies
and the Residence Hall Asso
ciation.

Byrd said it is normal proce

in a separate cell area for protec

population.
Byrd said Yarbrough re

threats against his life, but such
threats had not been confirmed.
It is possible Yarbrough
could remain in a single cell dur

Lizards’ tails
aid research
The thrashing movement of
a detached lizard tail may give
sports researchers a better
understanding of how athletes
kick into “high gear,” says a
Texas A&M biologist.
Dr. Benjamin E. Dial re
ported in a recent issue of Scien
ce magazine that lizards which
lost their tails when attacked by a
predator escaped while their
attacker pursued the moving
tail.
Dial and North Texas State
University biologist Dr. Lloyd C.
Fitzpatrick observed that the cat
and snake used in the studies
captured and ate all the lizards
of a species whose detached tails
did not move.
While supplying important
information on the relation be
tween predators and their prey,
the study also can have implica
tions for humans, Dial said, be
cause the detached tails provide
one of the most vivid examples
of anaerobic metabolism.
Anaerobic metabolism occurs
in humans when athletes such as
long-distance runners need to
run faster, Dial said. In such
athletes, the body switches from
aerobic metabolism that uses ox
ygen to burn glucose for energy
to anaerobic metabolism of gly
cogen stored in muscles.
Anaerobic metabolism increases
levels of lactate in the blood.
“In biology, we learn from
looking to the extreme, and the
lizard tail represents an extreme
in anaerobic metabolism,” Dial
said. “From these extremes we
can more accurately describe
how biological processes work. I
plan to examine the ultra
structure of these lizard muscle
cells for special adaptations that
permit such a high level of
anaerobic metabolism.
“We may be able to find out
what lizards have that allows
their tails to thrash so much,” he
explained.
Dial said predators do not bite
off a lizard’s tail, but rather the
tail is broken at a piece of cartil
age within the tail vertabra.
Movement of the tail after it is
broken attracts the attention of a
predator and gives the lizard
time to run away.
Dial and Fitzpatrick found
the distraction allowed the
lizards up to 40 percent more
time in which to escape.

Islands.
Although Yarbrough earlier
had complained of chest pains
and a possible heart attack, Byrd
said he mentioned no such
medical problems during his ini
tial interviews at the prison.
The warden of the Diagnostic
Unit of TDC said Yarbrough
was not hospitalized.
Byrd said Yarbrough would
stay at the Diagnostic Unit for
six to eight weeks, undergoing
regular background and
psychological checks, before
being permanently assigned to a
prison unit.
