The Batt alion Monday, November 8,1993 Center to help Aggies solve disputes Student Conflict Resolution Center to aid in problem negotiations, mediation By Carrie Miura The Battalion Texas A&M students can seek legal help to resolve personal disputes and conflicts by taking advantage of the newly devel oped Student Conflict Resolution Center. Eugene Zdziarski, coordinator of the center, said the center was developed to include the Dispute Resolution Services and provide assistance to students in negotia tion and mediation of personal disputes. "There was a gap in the ser vices that were previously offered to the students," Zdziarski said. The Dispute Resolution Ser vices started as two separate of fices, the Office of Student Judicial Programs and the Office of the Student's Attorney. But, Zdziarski said, the Office of Student Judicial Programs could not handle issues outside of the University disciplinary process, and the Office of the Stu dent's Attorney was unable to ad vise students against one another. These offices now fall within the Dispute Resolution Services. The idea behind forming the conflict resolution center was to give students access to free legal services and to assess an individ ual's problem so the student can seek the proper services, Zdziars ki said. "Our goal is to try and assess the student's problem and to ex plain and layout the options that are available to them," he said. The center also contains the Fraternity receives charter from international chapter By Cheryl Heller The Battalion The Texas A&M University chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fra ternity received its charter from the fraternity's international chapter Saturday night during a special installation ceremony. 37 fraternity members were initiated during the ceremony, which was conducted by mem bers of the arch-chapter of Delta Tau Delta international fraternity. Delta Tau Delta was established at Texas A&M two years ago with 17 members and has been recog nized as a student group at the University since November 1991. "We've been officially recog nized on campus as an Interfra ternity Council (IFC) member since the fall of 1991, but we've been working on getting our char ter since spring of 1991, so we've been around about two and a half years," said fraternity President Chris Ritter. Delta Tau Delta went through a two-year colonization process to receive its charter and during that time it had to meet academic and moral guidelines established by the IFC. "Most student groups are im mediately recognized at Texas A&M, but we want new fraterni ties to meet certain standards," said IFC President Michael Reilly. "When a new fraternity comes to Texas A&M, we hold them to cer tain standards that they must meet to be recognized as a stu dent group." The fraternity was also re quired to meet University guide lines relating to academics and es tablish a philanthropy, Ritter said. Reilly said Delta Tau Delta was the first fraternity to undergo the colonization period under new IFC guidelines. "We made them the test case, which required them to meet with advisers and show the progress they have made over the past two years," he said. "The new guide lines forced them to grow and be come strong, and they've become very successful in a short time." Ritter said fraternity members are excited about receiving their charter and are glad to see the fra ternity benefit from its work. "We've all worked very hard to get this charter," he said. "It was a big effort trying to meet the requirements to become a chap ter. It's great to see all of our hard work pay off."

Students often seek advice from the legal services office when they get in trouble for breaking on-campus alcohol con sumption rules, Zdziarski said. "Students have many miscon ceptions relating to various legal issues, like getting a MIP (Minor in Possession)," he said. "Some students just treat it like any oth er ticket." But, Zdziarski said, when a University police officer issues a citation to a student, this citation may appear permanently on the student's criminal record. Kim Thomas, who helps coor dinate the Student Judicial Ser vices, said the student will also have to face disciplinary sanctions within the University's system. "We try not to be punitive, number one, to make the students aware of University policies con cerning alcohol possession or con sumption on campus, and num ber two, to educate them about al cohol consumption," she said. The other disputes that the center frequently encounters are roommate conflicts, relationship disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, and wills and divorce decrees. The conflict resolution center is staffed with advisers who have completed the State Certified Me diation Training and are qualified to conduct court-ordered media tion sessions. Lotto Texas celebrates first year with record sales The Associated Press Six little numbers have changed the lives of B3 people In the last year. Lotto Texas completed its first year of operation Saturday with cumulative sales of $1.01 billion, according to the state comptrol ler's office. Just two weeks before that, the state broke Florida's record for first-year Lotto sales, topping $960 million, according to lottery spokesman Steve Levine. "I don't know that we actually • had a sales target for the first year . . . but we've nearly doubled our original estimate of revenues for the state/' Levine said Sunday. "This fiscal year, we're supposed to hit $601 million in revenue." Ticket sales for the first Lotto Texas drawing began Nov. 7,1992. No one matched all six numbers in that first drawing for an esti mated $2.5 million Nov. 14. But Lotto fever — and sales - continued to grow as the first jackpot climbed. Finally, Janie Kallus, a retired Schulenburg nurse, matched all six numbers in the Nov. 28 drawing. She won a $21.7 million jackpot. Kallus and the other winners have claimed jackpots totaling $534 million since the first drawing. Most of the 83 winners became multimillionaires. Eight people fell short of millionaire status because they shared $3 million jackpots. Z pa FISH: It’s Time to Get Caught...
