NEW YORK (AP) — ATM
could stand for A Tad More,
which is what customers seem re
signed to pay for the convenience
of banking at automated teller
machines under new rules that
took effect Monday.
“They are charging me to get
my own money,” said Taiwo
Ogunleye, a physical therapist in
the Detroit suburb of Southfield.
“That’s wrong. But there’s noth
ing I can do about it.”
Already legal in 15 states,
ATM operators in the remaining
states were given permission to
charge customers an extra fee if
they use machines outside their
own banking system.
Until now, ATM users typical
ly were charged about $1 per
transaction by their own bank, if
they were charged at all. But
now consumers may have to pay
two fees — one to their own
bank and one to the owner of the
bank machine.
The charge is a result of deci
sions last year by two major ATM
systems operated by Visa Inter
national and MasterCard Inter
national. Visa did not set a maxi
mum fee that could be charged,
but said it expects banks to
charge 25 cents to $2.50 per
transaction for machines not
owned by their bank.
Some casinos, however,
charge fees of $5 or more,
said Don Davis, editor of
Bank Network News.
Visa and MasterCard
decided last year to lift the
ban because banks wanted
face an additional fee. In addi
tion, the consumer must have
the option of canceling the trans
action without penalty.
"They are charging me to get
my own money. That's wrong,'

to be able to levy fees at ATMs lo
cated in hotels and resorts, con
vention centers and highway rest
stops. Those ATMs are conve
nient to customers but expensive
for banks to operate.
There are about 122,000 ATM
machines nationwide. Of the
100,000 in the Visa network, 16
percent already charged a sur
charge and an additional 4 per
cent planned to under the new
regulations, said spokeswoman
Susan Forman.
Visa’s Plus ATM Network and
the MasterCard-Cirrus ATM
Network both require banks that
levy surcharges to post signs at
the ATM and notify customers
on the ATM screen that they
In Nevada, the first state that
allowed the ATM surcharge,
Dean Punke paid a $1 fee Mon
day to use a Bank of America
ATM at the Gold Coast hotel-casi
no in Las Vegas. That was in ad
dition to a 50-cent charge his
bank imposed.
In the 15 states whereasur
charge had already been allowed,
there wasn’t any significant de
crease in ATM usage, said John
Hall, a spokesman for the Ameri
can Bankers Association.
Those states were; Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho,
Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico.
North Dakota, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
What you should know about radiology at Texas A&M's health center
By MarChelle Nelson and LaTanya Lewis
A.P. Beutel Health Center
List of names predicted
for hurricanes in 1996
Scientists already have picked
out names for any hurricanes that
will be born this year.
The names for the 1996 hurricane
season are: Arthur, Bertha, Cesar,
Dolly, Edouard, Fran, Gustav, Hort-
ense, Isidore, Josephine, Kyle, Lili,
Marco, Nana, Omar, Paloma, Rene,
Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.
The Weather Research Center in
Houston has predicted in the 1996
North Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
that there will be 10 named tropical
cyclones in the Atlantic Basin this
year, with at least five strengthening
into hurricanes.
Texas has a 40 percent chance
of experiencing a tropical storm
or hurricane.
The Texas A&M radiology department offers a
full range of diagnostic services. It has two X-ray
suites where more than 8,000 X-ray procedures
are performed annually.
Registered radiology technologists perform a
variety of radiographic procedures, which include
numerous orthopedic procedures. These exams
are ordered by health center physicians and other
consulting physicians only.
Here are some of the most commonly asked
questions:
What Is an X-ray?
A diagnostic X-ray is an examination to identify
abnormal conditions within the body. This is one of
the most direct methods for detecting causes of cer
tain health problems and checking tbek progress.
Some common uses of a diagnostic k-ray include:
Examining the chest, where X-rays may reveal
heart and lung conditions. Bone X-rays can be
taken from several different angles to show rela
tionships between bone and adjacent soft tis
sues, not including ligaments and muscle. This is
especially useful for showing fractures, bony de
tail or foreign bodies.
What will the exam be like?
Your examination will be taken in either an up
right manner, a seated position or lying down, de
pending on the exam ordered.
During the procedure a technologist will leave
the room for brief periods to make adjustments in
the equipment settings on the control panel.
For some exams, you will be instructed to holtl
your breath while the X-rays are being taken to pre
vent any blurring that could occur from movement.
Are the X-rays (radiation) harmful?
No. High speed X-ray film allows for minimal
radiation, similar to the amount a person is ex
posed to by spending a day at the beach.
Our guidelines for safety concerning patients
and technologists are set by the Texas Regulations
Bureau of Radiation Control, a division oftlie
Texas Department of Health, as well as the Ra
tional Council on Radiation and Measurement
department within Health and Human Services.
How long will the exam take?
The exam usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. Time
may vary depending on the nature of the X-ray.
When will I learn the results?
Once the health center physician has clones
preliminary reading of the X-rays, they are'sentf
the radiologist.
The' radiologist will study the'K-rays, effid ll»
he will considt with your Health Center physician
who will advise you of the results.
Your physician will answer any questions you;
may have.
The Radiology department provides services
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.’to 5 p.m.
The A.P. Beutel Health Center radiology depart
ment is committed to quality patient care. Weti)
to make a positive impression by introducingoui-
selves and explaining procedures to patients.
We attempt to relate to the patient in everythin!;
we do and believe that being courteous, cheerful
and attentive helps to eliminate patient anxiety.
