Property Rights Continued from Page 1 producers have had about the warbler is only one part of a bigger problem. “The last few years, the government has come in and regulated what farmers and ranchers do,” Arnold said. “Many people are still upset about losing water rights and are looking for an outlet. The warbler concern surfaced at a bad time, and it was the issue that finally broke the camel’s back.” Arnold said many people have been misinformed about what will happen if the war bler goes on the critical list. “The warbler has been con sidered an endangered species since 1990,” Arnold said. “The critical habitat list will just protect something that is al ready being protected. “With in the 33 counties under con sideration, there are 20 mil lion acres of land,” he said. “Less than 800,000 acres would be affected if govern ment sanctions are passed. This is really a small percent when you look at the whole.” Arnold said house develop ers will be more affected than agriculture because the war blers’ main habitat is in the hill country around Austin. “The hill country is a prime place to build houses, so I think the real fight will be with the builders,” he said. Jeff Koch, a Texas A&M ju nior animal science major, said environmental laws are needed to an extent. “If it hurts the farmers and ranchers, then they should be avoided or at least limited,” Koch said. “Agriculture pro duces the food we eat and lim iting their production could be detrimental to agriculture and society as well.” Health Caul |aw/Puryear tinued from Page 1 lajor corporation; erway for construction of ad- ional halls after Law and year are torn down, f the recommendation pass- Bthe halls will be torn down nt director of pJ the summer, and grass will I (here were alnwBplanted over the area for the d on the Texas A o'lowing semester. ■Basse said that residents of er compared tooJ w anc * Puryear who wish to re- •astically loweriB^ 11 on campus next year will on campus in the™ K iven first priority to move r said. “The suppltw 0 an °ther hall, jing the demandy ,le said overcrowding should ployers ” Bt be a problem since there order to get a job.-jl 1 ' currently vacancies in the rmselves fromotheB™ 8 i grades andpan k ‘ he <>nl y problem would be dties or by gettiJ ad residents wanted to ije in a non-air next year,” is becoming verviMsse said. becoming whatii H 1 e J sau that though this (e » ■mid not happen, the residents ienee is also ber cou ' d sdd accommodated if it ind a job^ Accord ^- Some residents would not be on/iiUFi able to live in non-air conditioned leeiate dorms, but all would have an on- ■mpus residence available.

But at the same time, he can understand why the University cannot keep Puryear. "Looking at the evidence and the University’s position from a business perspective, I can see how it is necessary,” Niemann said. “But it is disappointing be cause there is a lot of tradition here, and the guys here are a family . . . It’s like having your house destroyed.” Joe Sifferman, Law Hall’s res ident director, said the two dorms’ hall councils formed a committee to try to alleviate the problems students will face after the dorms are tom down. Niemann said the committee is working with the administra tion on options favorable to the University and the residents.

Law Hall President Heath Taylor, a junior construction sci ence major, said many residents are concerned about what they will do next year. He said that many students cannot afford to move off cam pus or a more expensive dorm. Only two other dorms on cam pus, Hart and Walton, are also non-air conditioned. Law Hall Resident Advisor Will Johnson agreed that moving will be a difficulty. “Students in non-air often can’t afford air,” Johnson said. “The next cheapest, corridors, are $650 a semester, and non- air are $400 a semester. That’s a $250 difference. Some can’t afford that.” Taylor said the freshmen were very disappointed about the recommendation because they were looking forward to being in the dorm. He said over 20 freshmen in Law have already moved after they found out the dorm would be tom down. However, Taylor said the up perclassmen are planning on to make the last year a memorable one for the hall. Niemann said the experience has brought the residents of Puryear closer together. “It is sad going, but it’s been unifying for the hall. We want to make this the best year Puryear’s had,” he said. Ross said Law and Puryear have traditionally been two of the most active halls. Casino Night, for example, began in Puryear. In addition, whenever RHA put on a hall challenge for an athletic event, Law always had more participants than the oth ers, Ross said. This was especial ly significant because Law is a smaller dorm, he said. Last year, Ross said, a Law resident was a member of the Residence Hall Association Board of Directors. This year two RHA executives are from Puryear. Ross said he hopes the resi dents of Law and Puryear will continue their tradition of in volvement once they move to other dorms. “Right now we do not know where the residents will move,” Ross said. “I hope they will take their talents to the other halls and continue their involvement in the RHA.” New and Used Compact discs, Posters, Accessories, Friendly Service ondSieot Buys, Wsa Week.
