LIBRARY: Databases will be added
Continued from Page 1
Two databases will be added to
the Notis Journal Article Index
and Library Catalog, he said.
Discipline-specific databases,
such as Medline and Biosis, will
be available. These databases are
helpful for pre-med and biology
majors, he said.
Cushing Library will be com
pletely remodeled, as well.
Heath said.
A new air conditioning system
will be installed to the library,
which holds the University’s col
lection of rare books, archives and
military history special collection.
The designer of the new li
brary complex is the Austin-
based architectural firm, Grae-
ber, Simmons and Cowan, which
recently designed the new library
at Southwest Texas State Univer
sity in San Marcos, Heath said.
The projects will be con
structed over a period of two
years. The construction of the
new library complex and the
remodeling of Cushing Library
will take place within the first
year of construction.
During the second year, the
first two floors of Evans Library
will be renovated.
Heath said the first two floors
will be cleared out during con
struction, but students will still
have access to the top floors.
However, he said students will
face the most difficulty locating
material at this time.
“Something found in one place
one day might not be in the same
place the next,” he said.
Heath said that the benefits
for students will outweigh the
sacrifices made.
“It will give the students a li
brary village complex comparable
to other world-class universities,”
Heath said
ROADS: Alternate routes available
Continued from Page 1
Schneider said the task force is also trying to get the word out about
the construction.
“We want everyone to know about the construction so they can plan
extra time to get where they are going,” Schneider said. “We will also
be publicizing preferred detours.
“It will be unfamiliar for a while, but once people get accus
tomed to using an alternate route, the traffic situation will seem
like less of a problem.”
Fischer said the excess amount of traffic during football game week
ends is also a major concern of the task force.
Margie Lucas, associate administrator for Brazos Transit, said the
company is planning on creating a shuttle service for people going to
and from football games.
“We are looking to find three locations for football shuttles,” Lucas
said. “This is a very good program and will hopefully alleviate some of
the congestion on the roads right before football games.”

Health Tips
Condom use can prevent STDs, pregnai
According to an
A&M health behavior
survey, 45 percent of
A&M students sur
veyed, who were sexu
ally active in the last
two months, never
used a condom.
For those who are
sexually active, a con
dom helps protect
against sexually trans
mitted diseases and
pregnancy. A condom is
a thin shield that traps
the semen in the tip of
the condom. Only latex
condoms provide any
protection from STDs
and pregnancy.
By using a latex
condom correctly, as
well as spermicide
containing non-oxynol-
9, the failure rate for
transmission of STDs
and pregnancy ap
proaches zero.
However, failure
rates are three to 12
percent, with higher
rates usually a direct
result of user failure.
The condom is a low-
cost item, $2.00 for 10 at
the Health Center Phar
macy. The fenu
dom is now a up
tion available.
