However, Lanita Hanson, Texas A&M’s coordinator of Greek affairs and assistant di rector of student activities, said the Greek system continues to grow in numbers and chapters at A&M, while other uni versities are seeing a decline in membership. Hanson said the A&M Greek system is different from systems on other campuses because it is only 20 years old. “It is slowly defining itself and creating an identity,” she said ing, Hanson said, most people can find fra ternities that fit their expectations.

Computing Continued from Page 1 “We provide full access to a variety of resources available for students,” he said. “But it is the students’ responsibility to take advantage of the things that will enhance their education.” Among the public access computer labs on campus fund ed in part by student fees are the Remote Computing Center in the Read Building and com puter labs in the Blocker Build ing, the Teague Building, the West Campus Library and the Biochemistry/Biophysics Build ing. And more computer ser vices are being added. A ground-breaking ceremo ny for a 24-hour, 600-seat facil ity located between the Pavil ion and the Heep Building will be held this semester. Dinkel said the facility will have a phenomenal impact on current computing facilities. “The new public access cen ter will become the centerpiece for facilities on campus,” he said. “One of our biggest prob lems has been a lack of space, not equipment. So that’s why a 600-seat computer lab will be an excellent addition.” The new center will cost $4 million to build and will be stocked with $1 million worth of equipment. The project will be funded partially by student computer fees. The new center will more than double the amount of pub lic access computers at A&M.

The Senate will closely ex amine how and why students are charged for various fees. “There is a lot of student concern about fees right now, so we will definitely look into that,” Reed said. Pierce Cantrell, speaker of the Faculty Senate, said his organization will spend consid erable time investigating the possibility of increasing the general use fee. “The general use fee will prob ably increase, so we will want to look at that,” Cantrell said. The Faculty Senate will also determine how to follow up on the Board of Regents’ re cent call for post-tenure re view. Mary Nan West, Board of Regents chairman, said the re gents will widen their perspec tive this semester. She said she hopes the new year will bring to fruition many of the projects the board has already begun, such as the Animal Science Teaching and Research Center. “I want to finish some of the projects that have been start ed,” West said. “After all, the reason the University was founded was on account of agriculture and engineering, and I don’t want to see the University lose sight of that.” Another of West’s priorities is to increase enrollment in or der to allow more qualified students to attend A&M. □ Send me a one-year subscription for $87.00 | □ I’d prefer a 15-week subscription for $33.00 _ Name Address I City.
