The Bryan and College Sta tion computer systems are capa ble of tracking their emergency vehicles around town. Scott agreed that this could be a potential setback in negotiations for University EMS involvement. “We are not fully automated like the city is,” he said. A mutual aid agreement, which is different than an auto matic mutual aid agreement, has existed for several years between the four agencies oper ating ambulances in Bryan-Col- lege Station. Texas Emergency Medical Services and Universi ty Emergency Medical Services participate in the mutual aid program. Within this program, if one of Bryan and College Station’s four ambulances is unavailable dur ing an emergency, the call goes to Texas EMS and then to Uni versity EMS. Humphreys said operations will continue in this order. Ervin Cox, vice president of Texas EMS, said it makes sense for his service to be considered as only emergency backup for the more advanced city departments. “We don’t have the same level of training,” he said. “We are pri marily a transfer service. We rarely run 911 calls.” Cox said that University EMS probably cannot provide the fastest possible response time because it is run by stu dent volunteers. Volunteers can take between 10 to 40 minutes to respond to a call, Cox said, but a profes sional is out the door in less than a minute. However, Scott said Universi ty EMS student volunteers pro vide services of the same quality as the city. “Our experience level might be different, but the level of training is the same,” he said. “The fact that we are volunteers doesn’t affect how fast we get to the ambulance.” NEWS s Third faculty member awarded Fulbright grant f ] Grants Continued from Page 1 region,” Dugas said. “It may provide an alternative to some things they are planning to do like restricting water sup plies and interbasin transfers (transferring water supply from one basin to another).” Dr. Ronald Griffin, an A&M professor of agricul tural economics, received a $39,000 grant to re search the value and management of water supplies. Griffin’s team is studying Texas communities undergoing drought conditions and investigating how people value a reliable water supply. “The motivation behind the project is that wa ter is increasingly getting scarce,” he said. “In the future, it will not be possible to supply all the wa ter that is needed.” The third project, which was awarded a $50,000 grant, will study how water is managed in the Ed ward’s Plateau region during a drought year and brainstorm ways to manage the water efficiently. The primary investigator is Dr. Bruce McCarl, an A&M agricultural economics professor, who said water management is an important problem facing the Texas citizens. “It is good to see the Texas Water Development Board getting involved with the problems,” he said. “They have been able to tap some pretty knowledgeable people and as a result, some good work will be done.” A third Texas A&M faculty me* has recently been honored as a recip. ent of a Fulbright grant. Suzanne D. Gyeszly, a professo'. Sterling C. Evans Library and collects development coordinator for socialj ences and preservation, was award* the grant to research and travel abra Gyeszly will lecture and condt; research at the National Szechenyilc brary in Budapest, Hungary, Fall 1995.
