ingitis (inflammation of the mem
branes covering the brain and spinal
cord), encephalitis, deafness and
sterility in men. During the first
three months of pregnancy, rubella
can cause miscarriage or serious
malformations in the fetus.
“Because of all the interaction, the
college environment facilitates the
transmission of these diseases,” Gon-
zalez-Lima said.
She said the diseases can be trans
mitted by casual contact such as sit
ting close to someone who has the
disease, touching someone who has
the disease or talking to someone
who has the disease.
However, Gonzalez-Lima said,
there is no need for students to
panic about possibly contracting
measles, mumps or rubella.
“Students should worry up to the
point of getting vaccinized,” she
said. “After vaccination there is no
need to worry.”
“It’s very important that students
keep track of their own health re
cords and get vaccinations when nec
essary.”
Texas had the largest number of
confirmed measles cases in the
United States in 1989 and Houston
had the largest number of con
firmed measles cases in Texas.
There have been 12 confirmed
cases of measles at A&M since Feb
ruary and one possible mumps case.
“The measles outbreak at A&M
could have occurred because College
Station is so close to Houston,” Gon
zalez-Lima said. “Also, because some
countries have different immuniza
tion requirements than the United
States, mere could have been inter
national students with measles who
came to A&M, but we really don’t
know.”
Symptoms of measles are rash,
high fever, runny nose, watery eyes,
cough and sometimes an ear infec
tion. Symptoms of mumps are fever,
headache and inflammation of the
salivary glands. Symptoms of rubella
are fever, rash and swollen glands in
the neck.
The health center offers a mea
sles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine
for $26 and a measles-only vaccine
for $12.
If students are enrolled in classes
where they have possibly been ex
posed to measles, the measles-only
vaccine is free. The health center has
a list of these classes.
pay spread over 12 months is a rou
tine procedure in the UT System.
“It might take a little while to insti
tute the procedures, but after that, I
don’t think it’s much of a problem,”
Wallace said.
Taylor said some A&M faculty are
paid by the University for teaching
and paid by an on-campus state
agency for research.
“Then as the year progresses, the
f »rofessor may pick up another grant
rom another research agency and
the distribution of their salary
changes,” he added. “The pav sys
tem is just much more complex at
A&M.”
Since most teaching faculty are
paid over a nine-month period,
some faculty members admit there is
a scramble for summer school teach
ing positions. Professors that teach
summer school are paid for an extra
one and a half montns.
Rosenheim, an A&M Faculty Sen
ate member, said the Senate could
study the issue of offering a pay plan
option to faculty members.
“If the Senate hasn’t already ad
dressed the issue, it would be appro
priate to look into it,” Rosenheim
said.
Taylor said the A&M system
ministration has been studying
issue for several years, buthedoes
foresee action on it anytime soon.
“That suggestion has been i
cussed for several years,” he sj
“We’re having to look at hownuidi

rather than the end of the month.
