to the northeastern part of the MSC.
• Add 26,545 square feet to en
close the upper bridge connecting
Rudder Tower and the MSC.
• Build a parking garage in Lot
60 (across from Rudder Tower) that
would have two, two-story buildings
connected to the garage (114,436 to
tal square feet), which would house
offices, classrooms, the athletic de
partment, the placement center and
meeting rooms.
“Changes have to be made — it’s
inevitable,” Peel said.
“I wish it didn’t have to be this
way, but when building you can only
go up, down or out,” he said.
“We can’t go up because the build
ing was not originally built to accom
modate such a change and we can’t
go down because we would have to
gut out the building, so the only
other option was to go out and
around.”
Before the expansion can take
place, 13 trees must be demolished,
the same number of trees must be
moved and new trees will be added.
In a letter William McLaughlin,
Class of ‘58, sent to the Board of Re
gents June 14, he appealed to their
“goocljudgmeni as the ultimate deci
sion makers at the University,” by re
minding them “the famed Texas ar
chitect Oneal Ford always worked
around the topography.
“There is always another way
when the project is still a drawing
and not a piece of machinery push
ing the earth,” McLaughlin said.
One of the oak trees that has to be
removed when the plans materialize
Changes have to be
made — it’s inevitable. ”
— Gen. Wesley Peel
is Live Rudder Oak, which is about
165 years old and 33 inches in diam
eter.
Peel said Rudder Oak is on the
‘save and move’ list, as it will be
moved 30-40 feet away, costing
$35,000440,000.
Dr. Fred Klatt, a landscape ar
chitecture professor, said the mor
tality rate of the tree is 20 to 30 per
cent.
“With trees,” Klatt said, “the only
consistent thing about them is their
inconsistency.
“We’re dealing with gray areas
when we work with uprooting and
replanting trees because we don’t
know exactly what we’ve got until we
get down and start digging.”
The usual process for moving a
tree, Klatt said, is to dig a trench, put
down a canvas, then wrap hog-wire
tence around the ball of the tree and
slide it down to its destination.
Klatt said he’s had success with the
process in the past.
“But I wouldn’t agree with cutting
down a tree unless it was absolutely
necessary,” Klatt said. “And in this
case, for some of the trees it seems
there is no other choice — either cut
the tree or move it.”
Klatt said survival chances are
higher if the team moving the tree is
composed of experts, and Peel said
those moving the tree will be special
ists in the field.
A&M hasn’t yet bid on a contract
for the expansion, Peel said, but they
will do so m November and the con
tract should be awarded in Decem
ber.
Peel said the construction should
take around two years from this No
vember.
POLICE BEAT
Heat
(Continued from page 3)
chronic diseases can also affect the
ability of blood vessels to dilate and
get rid of heat.
Price said the combination of heat
and humidity is dangerous and in
terferes with the body’s cooling
mechanism.
“The dangers have to do with the
way our bodies get rid of heat,” he
said. “When we generate heat in the
muscles, the blood carries the heat to
the heart and lungs and then exits
through the blood vessels in the
skin.”
When the weather is hot, these
vessels dilate. This allows the heat
and sweat to evaporate.
“Humidity interferes with the
evaporation process,” he said. “The
wetter the environment is around
us, the harder the body has to work
to get rid of heat through the sweat
mechanism.”
One way to improve this is by con
ditioning, Price said.
“When you get out and exercise in
the heat, your body’s blood vessels
and skin gets used to the climate,” he
said. “After a week to 10 days, your
body adjusts so you can perspire
more efficiently and get rid of heat
more efficiently.”
Price suggests wearing loose-fit
ting and light-colored clothing as an
aid to avoid heat problems.
“The main thing is to remember
to drink water,” he said. “If you’re
exercising hard in the heat, it’s best
to replenish your water supply every
half hour. Don’t wait until you get
thirsty. By then, you’ve already lost
quite a bit of water. It’s a good idea
to drink a couple of glasses of water
before you go out exercising.”
Women
(Continued from page 3)
the victimizer, the last beating is the
only one taken into account,” Calk
said. “We think the victim should be
able to use evidence of all past beat
ings.”
Stock agrees that more than the
last case should be taken into ac
count.
“It doesn’t make sense for the last
beating to be the only ca^e looked at
because these women are usually sys
tematically beaten,” she said. “They
should be able to bring charges to
offset the torture that they went
through while suffering from the
battered women’s syndrome where
they are always on eggshells trying
not to upset their husbands and al
ways worried about whether they are
going to get beat up or not.”
Kathleen Colson, co-president of
A&M’s NOW, said students should
stay informed about these bills be
cause they will play an important
role in the future.
“These are probably the most im
portant bills concerning women to
be discussed in a long time,” Colson
said. “Women need the help that
these bills would provide because the
world is becoming less concerned
with the welfare of women.”
Other bills vetoed by Clements
that concern women are HB 2280
and HCR 119, both of which deal
with battered women.
