Corps, frats to play ball
at Olsen for fundraiser
Health Tips
By MARK EVANS
The Battalion
Members of the Corps of Cadets and fraternity members will face off
across Olsen Field tonight at 7 p.m. in the Fourth Annual
Corps/Fraternity Baseball Game.
The Corps and the Interfraternity Council are sponsoring the event.
The two organizations use the money raised from tickets sales to fund
scholarships and Corps recruiting efforts. Last year, they collected
$1,500.
Marc Povero, head coach of the Corps team, said the game provides
both organizations with the opportunity to put their differences aside
and raise money for a good cause.
"We're going in with the attitude that this is a fund-raiser, and we're
just out there to have a good time," he said. "I'm looking forward to a
good game because the IFC always has good pitchers."
The Corps won last year's game with a score of 5-3. The IFC won
the game its first two years.
Greg Stevens, IFC coach, said he has a strong team this year because
they have trimmed the team down to their best players.
"I think this year we have the best team we've ever put on the field,"
he said. "I think if we go out there and play our best, we'll win."
The organizations held tryouts a few weeks ago to determine who
would play. The Corps accepted 22 people while the IFC accepted 19
players.
The entire Corps will march into Olsen Field before the game.
For those students wanting to attend, tickets sell for $3, which
includes a complimentary program .
Proposed bill could free
students from TASP test
By JULl PHILLIPS
The Battalion
AUSTIN - The Texas Senate
is expected to pass a hill that
exempts some students from
taking the newly required Texas
Academic Skills Program
(TASP) test.
However, the hill will not
apply to Texas A&M University
students who are currently
enrolled.
As proposed, the Senate bill
exempts students who have a
score of 1,200 or above on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
or a comparable score on the
American-College Test (ACT)
from taking the test.
"It has been brought to my
attention that students must
take an exit exam and then take
the TASP," said Sen. Teel Bivins
from Amarillo. "We need to put
exemptions in so students don't
need to keep taking these tests."
The hill was also supported
by the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board.
Joan Matthews, a
representative from the
coordinating board, said the
exemption test level was too
low. But, senators said they are
worried that the level was too
high.
The bill was placed on the
Senate agenda to be passed
without debate. The Senate to
pass the bill before the end of
the thonth.
Chlamydia most common
STD on college campuses
By STACEY GARNER
A.P Ben tel Health Center
April is Sexually Transmitted Disease Awareness Month, a
good time to talk about the most common sexually transmitted
disease in the United States.
Chlamydia infects 3-4 million people every year and is one of
the most frequently diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases on
college campuses, including Texas A&M University.
Chlamydia infections are spread by direct sexual contact.
Because chlamydia often has no symptoms, many with the
disease do not even realize they are infected. If you do have
symptoms, they usually appear within a month after exposure.
Symptoms are noticed more often by men than women.
In men, symptoms include: discharge from the penis, painful
or frequent urination, and itching or burning around the opening
of the penis. In women, symptoms include: vaginal discharge or
itching, pain in lower abdomen, and or bleeding between
menstrual periods or slight fever.
If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to P1D (Pelvic
inflammatory disease), which is severe inflammation and
infection of the reproductive organs. P1D can cause scarring of
the reproductive organs and can lead to sterility in both men and
women and possible ectopic pregnancy in women.
You can avoid being infected with chlamydia. Some
precautions to protect yourself include: Latex condoms with
extra nonoxynol-9 spermicide added during all acts of
intercourse, abstinence from sexual intercourse or limiting your
number of sexual partners, know you partner, get STD checkups
regularly if you are sexually active, and see a physician
immediately if you suspect you have chlamydia or have been in
sexual contact with someone infected with chlamydia.
The only sure way to diagnose chlamydia is to see your
physician for testing and treatment. Chlamydia is a bacterial
infection and both you and your partner can be treated and
totally cured with antibiotics.
If you have been diagnosed with a chlamydia infection, tell
your partner so they can seek treatment. Recognize the
symptoms and behaviors that put you at risk for contracting
chlamydia and take precautions to protect your health.
If you suspect you may have chlamydia, please contact the
A.P. Beutel Health Center at 845-6111 for an appointment with a
physician.
If you are interested in more information about chlamydia, or
any other sexually transmitted disease, please contact the Health
Education Center located in the bqserpent of the A.P. Beutel
Health Center, or call (845-1341).
