Chiropractor
EARLY DETECTION OF “WHIPLASH”
When the head is thrust backward, in an automobile accident for in
stance, cervical ligaments can be tom and intervertebral discs may be
compressed. Because ligaments and discs in and around the neck have
no pain fibers, symptoms may not appear for days, weeks or even
months. Early detection of possible damage and appropriate care are
essential in preventing serious consequences. A chiropractor’s use of x-
ray and other analytical procedures detect even minute misalignments
of the cervical vertebrae. With specific chiropractic adjustments, the
vertebrae can be restored to their normal functioning position. Correc
tion of the primary injury, rather than relief from it, is essential to nor
mal repair of ligaments, discs and muscles.
Please do not ignore the early warning signs: headache, stiffness in
neck/back, painful joints, leg/arm pain, numbness, back/neck pain,
shoulder pain, numbness in hands/feet. Early treatment of these signs
will minimize your need for additional follow-up visits.
Complimentary consultation and spinal evaluation will be given thru
February 28. Previous patients of chiropractic who feel the necessity
for “only” a spinal adjustment are welcome.
Should you feel a need for an appointment please call 696-2100.
Hint: Whiplash injuries can produce partial or even total disability.
Yours for better health,
s&L &.S£Jl&bDc

Point plan usage
creates problems
for food services
By BRIDGET BRENNAN
Reporter
What has the ability to leap from
dining facility to dining facility on a
single card, more convenient than
cash and thinner than a wallet? It’s
the Aggie Point Plan, Texas A&M’s
answer to the Diners Club credit
card.
The meal plan has taken over the
hearts and stomachs of students in
Aggieland, and its success has
caused mixed emotions.
Since its implementation in the
fall of 1984, the plan has become
very popular — almost too popular.
Lloyd Smith, assistant director
for board services, says, “We have
mixed emotions about the point
plan. It has changed our posture
considerably from board plans to
cash activities, and our cash activ
ities are getting quite a workout.”
The point plan has over 6,000
members now, and the result has
been overcrowding in the Memorial
Student Center and a loss of mem
bers for the traditional board plans,
Smith says.
He says students are abandoning
the all-you-can-eat format because
times are changing.
“I think we ll look back and say
1985 was the year students changed .
. . I think it marks another era of
change,” he says.
“For a number of years we had a
coupon book, which had coupons
ranging from $10 to $100, but they
were too time consuming,” Smith
says. “We eventually ended up get
ting a computer system that had the
capability to do this point plan.”
On the typical seven-day, meal
plan, a student pays $549.77 per se
mester for three all-you-can-eat
meals a day at either Sbisa Dining
Hall or the Commons.
To join the point plan, a student
must deposit a minimum of $150.
This deposit becomes his point plan
account.
After making the deposit, stu
dents can use I.D. cards like a credit
card when buying food in a variety
of locations on campus, including
the MSC, Rumours, the MSC base
ment, the Underground, the Pavil
ion, Sbisa and the Commons.
The student pays just for what he
buys. There is no discount, and the
cash is deducted automatically from
his account.
However, Smith says the board
plan is a better deal. If students eats
three times a day on the seven-day,
board plan, they pay only $2.12 per
meal.
“So you are getting a better deal,”
he says. “We just have to convince
everyone of that.”
On the point plan, students can
eat in either dining hall, and stu
dents can purchase gum, nachos and
ice cream on their point plan card,
which can’t be done on the board
plan.
Smith says the average student on
the point plan spends $137 per se
mester. The average cost of a board
plan is more than $500.
One look at the MSC dining room
at 6 p.m. on any week night pro
vides an indication of the number
of students who have opted to use
their point plan to purchase the
economical $2.79 dinner specials
instead of spending $4.75 on the
all-you-can-eat dinners, or $6.00
special dinners offered at Sbisa or
the Commons.
Laura Coco, a sophomore from
Portland, says, “I like the point plan
because you can eat anything you
want; you don’t have to worry about
eating a certain meal.”
But those waiting in the MSC din
ner line can be heard complaining
about having to wait 30 minutes in
line to eat. But most wait anyway.
Lisa Zwernemann, a sophomore
from Houston, says, “I don’t care —I
think it’s worth it to stand in line for
$2.79.”
Smith says he’s trying new ideas to
alleviate the crowd problem at the
MSC.
“We have now opened Rumours
at night, (to alleviate the traffic in
the MSC) and we have plans for the
future to work on the basement in
the MSC and make it a nicer spot,”
Smith says.
To set up a system of dinner spe
cials in the dining halls similar to
that of the MSC would take an in-

Sbisa is the largest university din

“You don’t change a Sbisa without

Smith says another possible solu

inside the MSC would be the open

open only for breakfast and lunch.
