was several years ago, when
three or four bats swooped
around during during a pianist’s
performance, Chaloupka said.
“He loved it,” Chaloupka
said. “He played the ‘Batman’
theme for an encore,”
About seven years ago, MSC
OPAS brought a production of
“Dracula” to Rudder and sup
plied some unscheduled props
— a couple of real bats mixed
in with the fake bats rigged to
fly on wires.
“No one ever even noticed
they were in there,” Chaloupka
said. “Everyone thought they
were just part of the show.”
Chaloupka said the bats
usually stay in the high open
area above the audience and
avoid people. The few that
have wandered into Rudder
mostly made their way out af
ter a week or so, he said.
Bats also drop by the Facul
ty Club occasionally, Kelli
Barnes, senior secretary, said.
Pest control workers netted one
there two months ago.
“He was just hanging from
the ceiling,” she said. “He was
real cute and fuzzy.”
Baumgardner said even
though they may be cute, even
insect-eating bats can bite, and
disturbing them is not advisable.
Bats lying on the ground are
likely to be sick or injured, he
said, and should not be handled.
Almost all Texas bats are in
sect eaters, Schmidly said.
Carnivorous and “vampire”
bats (which drink the blood of
other mammals) are tropical.
Most Mexican free-tailed
bats return to caves in the
Texas Hill Country to raise
their young in nursery colonies,
which can number in the mil
lions.
Some 40 million Mexican
free-tailed bats live in Bracken
Cave, near San Antonio, form
ing the world’s largest colony of
warm-blooded mammals.

“deviant sexual intercourse.”
It has been on the books for more than 100
years but is not enforced. The constitutionality of
the law has been questioned in several court cases,
and a state attorney general’s opinion on the mat
ter is pending.
Keith Roberts, president of the Gay and Les
bian Student Association, said the group’s oppo
nents are “confusing sex with sexuality.”
“It’s obviously blatant discrimination,” he said.
“It’s such a twisted logic to think that because
we’re a gay rights group there is going to be gay
sex going on. This is exactly the thing that we’re
trying to combat.”
Roberts said about 10 percent of the universi
ty’s 12,800 students are gay and there are 40
GLSA members.
If its organizational status is cancelled, the
group would lose its student government funding,
which was $106 this year, said student govern
ment president Jared Wylie. About 100 groups pe
tition each year for $44,000 and the average
amount to each group is $380, Wylie said.
The GLSA can appeal any decision by the stu
dent government.
Dianne Hardy-Garcia, executive director of
the Lesbian Gay Rights Lobby of Texas, said the
crusade at Stephen F. Austin represents a grow
ing trend.

An electronic address
identifies your “home”
in the computer world,
just as your street
address identifies your
home in the real
world. If you want
to use a computer
to send and receive
electronic mail (e-mail), you
must first have a home.
Electronic addresses are
typically made up of two
parts: a logon-ID and a
node. The logon-ID
identifies you and your
home. The node identifies the
computer your home resides on. (Synonyms for
logon-ID include userid and username.) For
example, in the electronic address
c1b6760@acs.taaiu.edu, c1b6760 identifies the
person and acs.tamu.edu identifies the computer
this person has an account on.
When you send electronic mail, software on
your own system looks at the node—the name of
the recipient’s computer—and figures out how to
route your mail towards that destination. When the
mail arrives, software on the target system looks at
the first part of the address—your logon-ID—and
figures out how to deliver the mail to the recipient.
Electronic mail addresses
identify networks
Often, the form of the electronic mail address will
give you a good indication of the network that
address resides on. Internet addresses take the form
logonid@node. The node portion of Internet
addresses can take two forms:
• The node portion of the domain address
is almost always made up of multiple
words separated by periods. For ex
ample, ACS.TAMU.EDU
• T he node form of the IP addresss is a
series of numbers also separated by
periods. For example, 128.194.3.89
A computer may be on multiple networks at the
same time, so it’s possible that the same account
could be referenced by different address fonns.
Finding electronic mail addresses
Perhaps one of the most difficult obstacles in using
electronic mail is finding the address of someone
you wish to write. The best way of going about this
is to compare finding an electronic mail address with
finding someone’s postal address. In both cases, the
easiest method is to call the person and ask for their
address, however other options are available.
Electronic phone directories
If you wanted to find someone’s home address, one
of the first places you would probably look is in the
phone directory. Well, to find an electronic address,
one of the first places to look would be in an
electronic phone directory. Here at Texas A&M (and
other places too), there is an electronic phone
directory called Ph.
Almost every person associated with Texas A&M
has an entry in Ph. One of the things that makes this
phone directory special is that each person can
maintain most of the information themselves,
including their electronic mail address. If a person
has taken the time to maintain their e-mail address in
Ph, you can look up their address with a program
also called Ph. For information on using Ph to look
up someone’s electronic mail address, or to update
your own entry, contact a CIS Help Desk.
\
Gopher
But what if the person isn’t ai Texas A&M? All is
not lost, but things may be a little tougher. Again,
the first place to start would be to look in their
electronic directory. (Of course, this assumes that
their site has an electronic directory!) The best way
to find the electronic directory for another site is to
use Gopher. For more information on Gopher,
contact a CIS Help Desk.
By choosing the menu option Gophers Worldwide
you can get to the Gopher server at another site. If
that site is running Gopher, if they are also running
an electronic phone directory, and if the person you
want to contact has included their e-mail address in
their directory entry, then you will be able to find
their address.
For more information
For more information on electronic addresses or how
to find them, drop by or call one of the CIS Help
Desks on campus.#
