Forum suggests uses
for SSC 14-mile tunnel
Not just playing around
The Associated Press
DALLAS — About 120 physicists, business people and engineers
from across the state have brainstormed about what to do with the por
tion of the superconducting super collider that's already been built.
And they're still not sure what to do with the 14-mile underground
tunnel near Waxahachie.
Plenty of ideas arose during Saturday's session at Southern
Methodist University, but each would cost money. Too many bills is
why the government stopped paying for the collider to be built in the
first place.
"People shouldn't be expecting rrfiracles," said Dr. Roy Schwitters,
the SSC laboratory's former director.
Schwitters' successor to the post will be Dr. John Peoples, who is
also director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois,
according'to the Universities Research Association.
The nonprofit consortium of 80 universities said Peoples' appoint
ment is effective Friday.
One of the good effects from the collider was the good publicity it
brought physics, said several representatives from Texas universities.
Dr. David Wagoner of Prairie View A&M said the collider has
brought more minorities into physics at his primarily black school.
The suggestions ranged from the obvious, such as continuing re
search into superconducting magnet technology at the magnet devel
opment lab; to the unique, such as renting out the collider's huge re
frigeration capacity.

Club takes unique approach to raising AIDS awareness
By Kim Horton
The Battalion
Members of the Texas A&M
University chapter of Alpha Phi
Omega pushed a hospital bed
covered with AIDS awareness
pamphlets through campus last
Thursday in an effort to increase
education on the subject.
Amy Bluntzer, vice-president
of administration for Alpha Phi
Omega, a national service fraterni
ty, said the hospital bed had a
chilling effect on students.
"It symbolized the serious
problem of AIDS," Bluntzer said.
"A person with AIDS usually dies
in a hospital bed."
At first, people did not wel
come the project, Bluntzer said.
"We had a hard time convincing
people to allow us to come," she
said. "It's a touchy issue, and some
people were afraid of what kind of
publicity AIDS awareness brings."
Bluntzer said this project re
sponded to the need for AIDS
education.
"People our age need to be
kept informed of the changing in
formation," she said.

cial Health Services, said educa
tion is the only cure for AIDS.
"There is no one cure," Davis
said. "Only the symptoms can be
treated. This, is why education is
so important."
Davis said students feel that
they will not acquire the virus.
"The college mentality is that it
won't happen to them," Davis
said. "They feel they're young and
untouchable.
Although students argue that
they are not drug users and are
not gay, they are most likely a
high risk group, she said.
Davis said instead of relying on
information from television pro
grams, students need to go out and
see what it is all about themselves.
Members of Alpha Phi Omega
went to Hearne last Friday and
then traveled to the Baylor cam
pus on Saturday.
"National Service Day took place
on Saturday with our focus being
AIDS awareness," Bluntzer said.
Alpha Phi Omega chapters
from New Mexico, Louisiana, and
Texas met in Waco to further the
educational effort.
"Our purpose was not to raise
money but to inform people about
a serious issue," Bluntzer said.
