A shattering experience
Physical plant employees knock out the remaining glass of win
dows in the Chemistry Building after the explosion Tuesday. After
Photos by Mike C. Mulvey
sweeping up the glass, the men boarded up the windows, leaving

UT medical school
trains professionals
in allied health fields
By SEAN FRERKING
Of The Battalion Staff
A high-paying job in the fields of
health or medicine may be attained
in less time than most students think,
said Jeffrey Baker of the University
of Texas Medical Branch at Galves
ton.
Baker, an associate professor and
director of the university in Galves
ton, said allied health programs are
taught in four years compared to the
10 to 12 years medical students
spend learning their professions.
The courses at the school provide
the university’s graduates with
much-needed experience and the
ability to earn an average salary of
$25,000 after graduation.
But the money is not the only
thing students can anticipate — the-
health careers are extremely varied,
Baker said as part of the Health Ca
reer Fair organized by the Texas
A&M College of Liberal Arts, the
College of Medicine and the Place
ment Center.
“The way that most people view
our programs is either hands-on oc
cupations or behind-the-scenes tech
nology,” he said.
Baker said fields in research or
medical practice are available to
UTMB’s students. The different
programs last an average of four
years.
The format of the degree pro
grams is two years or 60 hours of se
lected prerequisites followed by two
years of intense study in a special
ized field of medicine.
With an extremely high faculty-
to-student ratio in all departments,
Baker said, the school provides stu
dents with personal attention not
found at many other institutions.
However, most students are not
aware of the allied health option in
medical studies, Baker said.
“Most students discover our pro
gram only one or two years before
they apply,” he said.
Another specialized field at the
universtity in Galveston is medical
technology. Christal Albrecht, assis
tant professor of medical technol
ogy, said her department offers an
up-to-date facility that gives students
a valuable and modern medical edu
cation.
“We have hundreds of thousands
of dollars of state-of-the-art equip
ment,” Albrecht said.
She said the labs in medical tech
nology use current techniques and
precautions in the field of research.

MSC Council names three executive vice president positions
The MSC Council’s search for executive
vice presidents ended Monday night with the
announcement of three students to fill the
positions.
The executive vice president for adminis
tration will be Wesley Hamilton, a sophomore
biochemistry and animal science major from
Hillsboro. Hamilton is now the MSC director
of external services.
Chris Britton, a sophomore agricultural
development major from Cleburne was cho
sen executive vice president for marketing
and personnel. Britton’s current position in
the MSC is vice president of cultural pro
grams.
Elaine Horn, a senior English and journa
lism major from Fort Worth, was selected ex
ecutive vice president for programs. Horn is
now the MSC vice president of recreational
services.
Catherine Valenzuela, current executive
vice president for marketing and personnel,
was in charge of coordinating the selection
process.
Students interested in the vice presidential
positions first filled out an application with
questions about their experience, goals, past
leadership positions and reasons for running,
Valenzuela said. Candidates then went
through an interview process in front of a
nominating committee of MSC council and
staff, MSC committee chairmen, faculty and
former students, she said.
The new vice presidential terms start April
8 and last one year, she said. Responsibilities
of the executive vice presidents include form
ing the MSC executive council and overseeing
the areas under them, she said.
There are still MSC council positions open.
Students interested in these positions should
contact Catherine Valenzuela at 845-0709.
