None of the content is lost. In fact, content is being added.” Dr. Ralph Smith, director of biological science programs for the College of Veterinarian Medicine, said faculty mem bers within the college have been considering integrating several courses, particularly within the physiology and pathobiology departments. Ralph Smith said the college is waiting to see how the engi neering chemistry course works before trying to combine classes in veterinarian medicine. “We don’t know how beneficial this will be to the stu dents,” Smith said. “A lot of us are waiting to see the results of the engineering class. We want to make sure the classes will follow logical sequences so they are beneficial and are a positive experience for the students.” Housing Continued from Page 2 than 600 students. Other renovations and repairs will take place this summer, dictating which dormitories will and will not be available for summer housing. “Lots of times, we can only do renovations and repairs in the summer, and we don’t want students living in a dormitory where repairmen will be constantly in and out or we may have to cut off the power and utilities,” he said. “We also have to consider other factors like where food services will be open and where students are going to be housed for summer conferences.” Six corridor-style halls and one modular hall will be open for Summer 1996. The modular dormitory, Underwood, will be co-ed. The first floor will be private, and second-, third- and fourth-floor rooms will be double occupancy. Of the six corridor halls, Briggs, Gainer and Spence will house women, and Lacey, Whitely and Harrington will house men. Applications for summer housing will be available at the North, South and Corps Area Offices and in the Cain Hall Office as of April 1, and spaces will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis. Residence Life and Housing is researching a plan to guide the future of on-campus housing, which is expected to be completed by December for presentation to the Board of Regents. Those working on the plan are studying the needs of stu dents regarding housing, the effectiveness of current mainte nance, and the organizational structure of the department it self, as well as evaluating the physical conditions of resi dence halls currently in use. Sasse said the plan will allow for future studies to gauge the feasibility of a community center for University-owned apart ments on Northgate and construction of living quarters to replace Law and Puryear Halls. Sasse said he encourages student input. Students with ques tions or suggestions can e-mail the department at housing@tamu.edu. or at rsasse@tamu.edu. Continued from Page 1 said. “We want to develop a sound ecological strategy that will affect future management decisions by rekindling interest in Antarctic affairs.” Sayed said he is proud that A&M has fostered international cooperation for environmental protection in general, in the field and on campus. He said multi discipline expeditions have at tracted participants from In dia, China, Spain, Italy, Peru, the United States and other countries. Dr. David Walton, a repre sentative of British Antarctic Survey and a conference coordi nator, said that although the conference turnout and interna tional participation is encourag ing, the group does not expect to solve all the environmental problems in two conferences. “We are applying the expe riences of others to our condi tion, because it would be im possible to create a fully funt tional program in such a shon time,” he said. “Yet, we are very optimistic because the scier tists of the future need us to ati today to make sure environraer. tal resources remain intact.” Participants gathered in Os Norway for the first conference October 1995. Cory Willis, TheBattm Dr. and Mrs. Bowen talk to EricChanj at a reception at the president's house Monday evening. United Way Continued from Page 1 will be more likely to support United Way after graduation. “United Way depends on community members as the main source come for their services,” Waldner said. “If people can learn about IJ Way while they are in college, once they graduate, they will continue to help these programs grow.” The local chapter of United Way sponsors 24 local service organiza tions, including the Rape Crisis Center, Phoebe’s Home, the Mi Health & Mental Retardation Authority and the Salvation Army, Students have the opportunity to enrich both their own lives and tbi lives of others through volunteer work. Conrad Camit, a senior mechanical engineering major, said students should take advantage of the volunteer opportunities oi through United Way. "It is something that gives both ways,” Camit said. “It will not only help others, but it will make you less naive about how you live.” Volunteer opportunities include anything from yard work to tutor ing. Brad Straub, a freshman finance major, said he was able to make! difference in the lives of disadvantaged children by volunteering al the Boys & Girls Club. “I’ve seen the benefits to the kids involved — just having the avail ability of recreation and development opportunities — who are disad vantaged and at risk,” Straub said.
