Di-N The Battalion Decembeii^ TATE By JED Friday Page 5 December 6, 1996 ANNOUNCING EXTENDED PAVILION HOUR Continued from Page 1 The fee is used for the physi cal maintenance of the facilities including utility bills, custodial services and replacement of equipment. Busch said the fee indirectly helps students and staff of MSC programs that use the facilities. “It doesn’t go directly toward programming but it offsets the fi nancial pressures groups that use the MSC may encounter,” he said. Busch said the MSC will show its appreciation by keeping its facilities open 24 a day hours during finals. The Schewitz lounge, the Ser pentine lounge and several other meeting rooms in the MSC will be available for study use. As a bonus, free coffee will be served at the MSC main desk. Busch said the facilities are here to serve the students. “We really try to maintain the facility for student use,” he said. “They can use it to study or just sit around and sleep.” Babbitt rejected scientists’ advice AUSTIN (AP) — The U.S. Interi or Secretary, Bruce Babbitt, reject ed the advice of his own scientists in deciding against listing the Bar ton Springs salamander as an en dangered species, the Austin American-Statesman reports. The newspaper Thursday cited newly disclosed records in report ing that a recommendation to grant protection under the En dangered Species Act had passed Interior Department legal muster. But in late August, Babbitt an nounced that he had reached agreement with Texas under which the state would firm up water-quality regulations to pro tect the salamander, which is found only at Barton Springs and two nearby spring outlets. Local environmentalists say the records show that federal sci entists didn’t believe state regula tions were strong enough to pro tect the salamander or the purity of water in the springs. a The Pavilion will remain open until midnight. The Grill is open Monday through Thursday to 10:30 P.M. with extended hours to midnight on December 11, 12, and 16. Security will be provided by Evans Library.
