Wilkinson added that the Corps is consistently be-

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. Evans Li-
' f\l ! al 7>” h e added.

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.
