Wilkinson added that the Corps is consistently be- miing more open. “As a freshman, I would never have believed my dep- :y would be a female,” Wilkinson said. “What is impor- nt is that we work for the Corps, and we do a good b, rather than whether we are male or female.” Hhubert, the first female deputy Corps commander, )oke on the good reception women now have in the Off is. |ve seen a 180 degree change in attitude,” Schubert i m ci i. ordit ne e pi e .sejuid I i he ciatio isor es instrur artifa i tee da Garland Wilkinson, commander of the Corps of Cadets, (left) and Mandy Schubert, deputy com mander of the Corps, discuss coming changes for the organization at Sully’s Symposium. said. “It was more in the Corps than in the community, sort of mental hazing, but a lot has changed since then.” Schubert also said females are incorporated in almost everv area of the Corps. \er h; ng lb ) perwJ •usleiit edical library limits use by undergrads •s Adi: econon rs b J| By Bob Grube Stuff Writer he Medical Sciences Library, in conjunction with the College of Medicine and the College of Vet- i initJ e | nar y ems m Medicine, hits imple mented a card entry system that controls who enters the library. ■Virginia Algermisson, director oi the Medical Sciences Library, ■ cited security, overcrowding and allusive treatment of student winkers as the reasons for the cad system. ■‘Tve received letter after letter and complaint after complaint from many primary users of the library about the behavior of non- tffledical students and about the lack of research space in the li brary,” Algermisson said. ■ “We are a professional library. Unless students need to use the IjjjjjjjjBedical collection, they should study at Sterling C.

PAP® and had advised her to go ahead with the modifications. The com mittee is made up of three veteri nary school faculty members, three medical school faculty members and three at-large fac ulty members. Entry into the library will be re stricted from 6 p.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday. The library closes at 6:30 p.m. Fridays and 5 p.m. Saturdays. The library will be open to all students on t hese days. All Texas A&M faculty, staff, professionals and graduate stu dents can use the library any time. Cards are available upon re quest at the circulation desk of the Medical Sciences Library. Undergraduate students must complete a form (to be filled out by their department head) stating the reason the student must use the library. They must sign in at the circulation desk each time they go to the library. Algermisson said undergrad uates may be asked to leave after 6 p.m. if they are not using the medical collection or if there is not enough room for the medical students. “Most medical libraries on other college campuses are closed to non-medical faculty and stu dents,” Algermisson said. “Up until now, we have been operat ing outside the normal bounds of medical library operating proce dures. “We have done this reluctantly. We hope we will have no more problems.” Hindu temple in Dallas area draws criticism PARKER (AP) — Dallas-area Hin dus want to build a 4,000 square-foot temple in this North Texas commu nity, but residents who live near the proposed site fear the structure would decrease property values and make them a target for terrorists. The temple, proposed for a site near the Southiork ranch of tele vision’s “Dallas” fame, would be a place to preserve ancient Hindu cul ture, religous leaders say. On Tuesday night, the Parker City Council and Planning and Zon ing Board postponed action on a building permit. “It’ll be a blight in the neighbor hood,” said C.W. Deloney, who lives across the street from the site. “So far, no one wants it out there.” “If we have to have it, at least make it blend in,” said Deloney. “If they built a temple like the (Baptist) church next door, that’ll be fine.” But Hindus say the temple’s de sign of ornate sculptures is a crucial part of their religous practice. Each part of the temple’s design has a reli gous meaning, said architect and temple designer Rajiv Parikh. “It has to be of certain propor tions and of a certain height,” he said. “Each stone has some meaning back to the old, ancient times.” About 200 Hindu families raised $500,000 to build the temple, said Pradeep Pandya, vice president of the Hindu Temple Society.
