Thursday, November 8, 1984TThe Battalion/Page 5 g Wellness network helps with aspects of health m By MARY ANGELA LEBLANC Reporter Health and wellness are not just physical, says Eric: Hunter, assistant director of Intramural Recreational Sports. Other aspects to a person’s wellness are social, emotional, spiri tual and intellectual health, he said. The Student Wellness Network was started last year to help students, faculty and staff help themselves in each of these aspects, Hunter said. “We are trying to direct them to the proper sources,” Hunter said. Through the network, students learn about student services avail able to help them with different problems in each aspect of health. I The network also promotes a pos itive attitude toward wellness, Hunter said. Another service the network pro vides is an individual wellness assess ment, which is taken through the health and physical education de partment. Hunter said this written evalua tion costs $10 and recommends a specific lifestyle for the individual. He said the results may suggest a change in eating habits, or a change in mental, social, spiritual and physi cal lifestyles. “We feel wellness falls in every as pect of academic work,” Hunter said. Originally a committee of faculty and staff ran the network, but it then was handed to students to operate as 4 service organization. The service organization is located in the Pavil ion. The service organization did have a WELL-LINE that students could call to seek help for their problems, but until the network gets reorga nized this service has been cancelled. Hunter said there has been a shortage of student volunteers this semester. No requirements are needed to help with the network. Hunter said anyone interested in working with the wellness network should contact Charlotte Gibbons, chairperson for the advisory committee to the well ness network. The Student Wellness Network is administered through the division of health education in the Department of Health and Physical Education. Scientists use air pressure to pump water from aquifer k ROSS m con® in solvk nking ami e studtm ■ MSG an siudea , ihe MX of apra ure thail 1 to inde- were net- though! a moder- lid one, ii maketht a strong “satisfied cting Fer- i the cant precious ersy over i Zaccaro, e tax re- his niicnt as obvious TifortaUej n tot By JOHN MAKELY Reporter Water researchers in Texas are developing a method to increase the available water in the Ogallala Aquifer, the dwindling groundwater reserve relied upon by the high plains and much of Texas. In a project supported by the Texas Department of Water and the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District, scientists are working on ways to use air pressure to increase the amount of water that can be pumped out of the aquifer. “The Ogallala should last at least another 50 to 60 years,” said Dr. Donald Reddell of the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station at Texas A&M. There is no need to panic, Reddell said, because when it does run out it will have been a gradual drop in the annual amount of water supplied by the aquifer, signified by increasing water prices. Dry-land agriculture, much like that present before wide-spread irri gation in Texas, would replace the present system. In this way the Texas economy will not suffer as greatly as is reported, he said. “Once the technique is developed it could significantly increase the amount of water recovered and could benefit many other aquifers worldwide,” Reddell said. The technique is similar to sec ondary recovery techniques devel oped by petroleum engineers in which air, gas or water is used to squeeze out extra oil. An additional 293 million acre- feet of water might be available from the Ogallala by using the technique, which “almost doubles the present 375 million acre-feet of water in the aquifer,” Reddell said. The scientists involved with the project, including Wayne Wyatt, the High Plains Water District manager credited with developing the con cept, estimate that applying two or. three pounds per square inch of pressure may result in a 20 percent increase in water yield over that ob tained by gravity alone. Redell said the technology will cost only about $50 per acre-foot of water released, “which is economi cally feasible for farmers and irriga tors.” Man charged with murder of four wants confession kept from jury United Press International RICHMOND — The defense at torney for a man charged with kill ing four people and wounding an other in a southwest Houston home asked a state district judge to sup press his client’s confession Wednes day. Judge Charles Dickerson said at torney Steve Rosen asked that the confession of Charles Edward Goosby, 34, be kept secret from the jury. Goosby is charged with four counts of capital murder and one count of attempted capital murder in the Sept. 13 shootings. All five vic tims were shot in the head, including a 3-year-old girl found dead in a closet with her mother. Jury selection will begin Jan. 7 for the trial scheduled to begin Jan. 9. Goosby was indicted by a Fort Bend County grand jury in the shootings. The surviving victim, Jesse James Lewis, 35, has identified Goosby as the assailant. Time Us...
