CHICAGO (AP) — Sixteen months ago, a
killer was executed in Texas. Today, his body
is a teaching tool for the world, made available
on the Internet as the first three-dimensional,
computerized cadaver.
The “Visible Man” is a detailed atlas of the
human body, assembled digitally from thou
sands of X-ray, magnetic and photo images of
cross-sections of the body.
The National Library of Medicine is un
veiling the “Visible Man’’ today at the an
nual meeting of the Radiological Society of
North America.
“This is the first time such detailed infor
mation about an entire human body has been
compiled,” said Dr. Donald A.B. Lindberg, di
rector of the library, which is the equivalent of
the Library of Congress for medical matters.
The digitalized cadaver will be available
free to anyone who gets permission from the li
brary. But the data is so extensive that down
loading it takes up to two weeks of uninter
rupted time on the Internet, and up to 15 giga
bytes of storage space, enough to accommodate
about 50 times the contents of The Encyclope
dia Britannica.
The information would fill more than 30
typical personal computers and is expected to

THE DIFFERENCE IS SERVICE
Brooke Leslie, student body
president, knew Hantman and
will speak at the ceremony.
“Sometimes it’s fairly easy
for us to forget people who
have given so much to the
University,” she said. "Scott
had the founding idea for Re
plant, and it is because of his
work that it has gotten so
strong and grown.”
A bill supporting the dedica
tion of Replant to Hantman will
be presented to the Student
Senate tonight.
Leslie said Replant is the
largest tree-planting effort in
the country.
“I think that says a lot about
Aggies,” she said.
Hantman started Replant
to replace the many trees Ag
gies cut down each year to
build Bonfire.
In the spring of 1991, Hant
man, then a graduate student
in safety engineering, along
with Bonfire leaders, led a small
group of Aggies that planted
nearly 400 trees.
It is estimated that 7,000
logs are used to build each Bon
fire and over 35,000 will be
planted at Replant 1995.
Replant 1995 will be at
Lake Somerville. Rosalez
said over 2,000 students are
expected to participate.
“We are planting 17,000
trees this year and potting
20,000,” she said.
Each year Replant pots trees
to be planted the following year.
“Last year we potted 20,000
and we will plant those this
year,” Rosalez said.
She said the Corps of Engi
neers at Lake Somerville cares
for the trees that are potted by
Replant until they are planted
by the committee.
Almarez said Replant is for
the community and students.
“A lot of people aren’t aware
of what A&M does for the envi
ronment,” she said. “I think
people go out there because they
think they are contributing and
giving something back.”
Leslie said the fact that Ag
gies do cut so many trees down
for Bonfire has been an issue for
several years.
“I think that Replant, like
Bonfire, reflects the spirit that
all Aggies have for this universi
ty,” she said.

he said. “There are many other
factors to be considered.”
Dinkel said the University ca
ble system could reach off-campus
residences through the public ac
cess cable channel 15.
Dinkel will present the possi
bilities of this cable system to the
Residence Hall Association. The
RHA will then decide if they want
to have the system installed.
“We will tell them what the
technology can do and give them
some options,” he said. “Then
whatever they decide they want
is what we will do.”
If approved by RHA, the cable
system could be installed as early
as Sept. 1995, Dinkel said.
Owen Ross, RHA president,
said he will have a task force look
into the options and tailor the ca
ble system to the students’ needs.
“If we decide to have this im
plemented, there are a lot of
changes that will have to be
made,” Ross said.
Dinkel said the cable would
cost between $5 and $10 per resi
dent each month.
But the final decision rests
with RHA, Ross said.
“We have to decide if we really
want this, if we really want to pay
for it,” he said.
said A&M
became involved in the program
through its participation in the
University Consortium, which
links universities in the United
States with universities in
Western and Eastern Europe
and Russia.
Through the program, profes
sors received training for the last
three years in social studies, in
cluding business studies, in East
ern Europe and Russia. A&M
made contacts with professors in
these countries who helped estab
lish the Russian MBA program.
The Russian MBA program
just began this fall.
Gaspar said he hopes the pro
gram will be as successful as MBA
programs in the United States.
“St. Petersburg in Russia is the
equivalent to MIT in the U.S.,”
Gaspar said. “It is a very good in
