Dirks added that the health center cannot keep accurate re cords on the campus HIV rate since disclosure laws prohibit the health center from getting such information. be reported by number and not name, so we can't really tell how many are students and how many are not," he continued. "Our impression is that we have a very low incidence." "We have no idea what the (A&M) rate is," he said. "What data that is available is aggre gated at the County Health level. Andrea Beshara, assistant health education coordinator at A&M's health center, said she believes the health center is doing all it can to track the prob lem. Dirks said he does not believe the University can do any more to gain access to campus infec tion rates. Tracy Anderson, a health edu cator with the County Health Department who conducts HIV tests, agreed, saying there is no way for A&M to keep accurate HIV statistics. the Wadley Blood Center had re ceived several positive tests dur ing its last blood drive on cam pus. 'The law states that the cases "We are not saying that there are no HIV carriers on campus," she said. "But there is no way to predict actual numbers." "I'm not at liberty to find that information out myself," she said, referring to whether the people she tests are students. Anderson said she has heard several erroneous reports that Dirks said students participat ing in health and contraception seminars on campus are given one condom on completion, but condoms are not made accessib le to all students since they are readily available at off-campus locations, without a prescrip tion. Dirks added that the number of health and awareness semi nars will probably be increased during the next year.

Thirty percent of University vehicles must use alternate fuels by 1994 Continued from page 2 The body of the G-Van is built like gas-powered vans, but the motor and all parts under the hood are built by a Canadian manufacturing firm. "What goes under the hood confuses every mechanic that's ever seen it," Craven said. The G-Van was designed to seem like a gas-powered vehicle. Craven said. In gas-powered vehicles, the first turn of the key will produce enough power to work the radio, lights and windshield wipers. The next turn starts the car and then the key springs back. In electric-powered vehicles, the first turn of the key is needed, but the second step was added. sumers are in a "win-win" situa tion with the electric-powered vehicles. Craven said. "The designers bent over backward to make it seem like a gas vehicle so people would be more comfortable," Craven said. The G-Van does not produce ly pollution so it does not need a tail pipe, he said. how much pollution was emitted in a gas-powered car," Craven said. "Electric vehicles produce less than 2 percent of gas emis sions, and even added to the emissions from electric compa nies the result is still favorable." people keeping things under control." and even burning garbage Kel provide necessary power, After the van has been started, the only sound heard is the mo tor for the power steering and power brakes. Craven said even tually even this slight humming noise will be removed. The consortium also re searched how much extra pollut ion was produced by utility com panies as a result of needing to produce more electricity to re charge vehicles. He said utility companies also rde Electric companies and con "We looked at how much pol lution was emitted for every mile you drive and compared it with bear more of the burden of con trolling pollution than car man ufacturers. Utility companies are checked by the federal govern ment to keep pollution emission under control. "Their (utility companies) re- 2 uirements are more stringent," raven said.

By 1996, schools must have 50 percent of their vehicles operat ing on alternate fuels. And by 1998, 90 percent must use alter nate fuels. Another benefit is the avail ability of electricity.
