Housing Dormitory, board-plan rotes will not increase for '85-'86 By ROD RICHARDSON Reporter Students who plan to live on cam pus this fall can breathe a sigh of re lief — dormitory rates are not going to increase. Gerald K. Smith, associate direc tor of business services, said that the current dorm rates will carry over to the ’85-’86 school year. This means that students who paid $791 to live in a modular dormitory this semes ter can expect to pay the same amount for the fall. Smith said he was unaware of the rumors circulating about a proposed rate hike for student housing. “I don’t know of any basis for those rumors,” he said. Smith said he would like to think that the savings being passed on to students is a result of good manage ment, but he noted two other cost saving factors as well. “There are no new dorms, and no new debt service requirements,” Smith said. “Utilities have stabilized also.” The dormitory rates are usually determined at the February or March meeting of the Texas A&M Board of Regents. This is done for the benefit of students wishing to de termine which dormitories they would like to live in before pre-regis tration begins. In a comparison of proposed board-rate plans with Rice Univer sity, Southern Methodist University, Sam Houston State University, Ste phen F. Austin University, Texas Tech University, University of Houston and the University of Texas, A&rM had the lowest pro- osed board rates. SMU had the ighest rate proposal with a seven day/20 meal plan costing students $926.50 per semester (a $36.50 in crease). The same meal plan at A&M will cost only $658 per semester with no increase. “We’re here to provide our stu dents with the best possible service at the least possible cost,” Smith said. Faculty Senate will hear library report By KIRSTEN DIETZ Staff Writer The Faculty Senate will hear a re port From the Sterling C. Evans Li brary Council on the future of the card catalog at today’s meeting at 3:15 p.m. in 701 Rudder. The Senate also will hear a pre sentation from the vice president for operations and the director of secu rity and traffic, consider three reso lutions from the Personnel and Wel fare Committee and approve candidates for graduation in May. The ad hoc committee on the fu ture of the card catalog has been studying the advantages and disad vantages of maintaining the current card catalog system or freezing it and replacing it with a computerized system. Dr. Vivian Paul, committee chairman, said student, faculty and library staff opinion was solicited be fore preparing the report. Paul said the report will recom mend proceeding toward freezing the current card catalog and adopt ing the computerized system, but will advise that it be done gradually and cautiously. After a presentation from Charles Cargill, vice president for opera tions, and Bob Wiatt, director of se curity and traffic, the Senate will ask a list of prepared questions, the ma jority dealing with policies concern ing University police carrying hand guns on campus, said Dr. Murray Milford, Senate speaker. The Personnel and Welfare Com mittee will recommend that the Sen ate adopt three resolutions concern ing outside consultation and employment of faculty members, legislative support for the Faculty Development Leaves Program and the awarding of emeritus status. The Senate is expected to approve the list of May undergraduate and graduate degree candidates, includ ing two posthumous degrees to be awarded to Linda E. Bryan in ac counting and John Chase Wilson in agricultural economics. Exhibit depicts role of primitive healers By BELINDA HOOD Reporter Today, doctors use extensive re search and highly developed meth ods to treat diseases, but before modern technology developed, medicine men of primitive societies were the practicing healers. A portfolio of 20 prints by John L. Doyle depicting these medicine men is on display in the lobby of the Med ical Sciences Building through April 22. The prints are on loan from Mid west Medical Inc. in Afton, Minn. They show a colorful and artistic pic ture of the diversified duties of med icine men. According to a brochure about the exhibit, in the past, the duties of priest, doctor and scientist were the responsibility of one individual. The role was assumed by anyone with sufficient knowledge about the fields of astrology, divination, magic, religion, medicine and surgery. Each developed their skill through trial and error, and gained the complete confidence of their people by mystical displays of their powers. This was achieved by show ing a control over natural phenom ena and displaying a mastery of fire and ice. In each society the medicine men were known by different names such as witchdoctor, hougan, sorcerer, shaman and physician, but their methods were basically the same. Many used herbs or acupuncture as therapy. They also claimed direct communication with the spirit world, and used this to thwart off evil spirits that caused diseases. Mary Alice Pisani, assistant to the dean of the College of Medicine, said the exhibit was chosen because of its medical theme. “This is an artistic look at the healer in many different primitive societies,” Pisani said. “Artistically it is very interesting and it depicts the role of the doctor in these societies very well.” The lobby of the Medical Sciences Building is open to the public Mon day through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. | June 17 Educational Center TEST PREPARATION SPECIALISTS SINCE 1938 Call Days Evenings & Weekends it Classes Forming Now Call 696-3196 for information 707 Texas Ave.-301-C SlerraClub BRAZOS VALLEY GROUP WILDERNESS POW WOW APRIL 13-14 Some 30 outdoor groups are meeting in the Big Slough Wildnemess Area for the annual Wilderness Pow Wow.
