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.”

1 ru'sidence Hall Association, said
i, Be absence of Law and Puryear
will be felt.
“Law and Puryear have a long
tradition of involvement,” Ross
said. “Their presence will be
missed next year because they al
ways put out leaders, are in
volved with Bonfire, RHA, hall
councils, and have been really
good halls.”
Kevin Niemann, Puryear Hal
l’s resident director, said he is
disappointed that a hall with
such outstanding traditions is be
ing torn down. 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.

keep the residents together if

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.”
