“It’s a small victory, but this is what
the members of New Arts Six do: teach
Spirituals, preserve Spirituals, and,
most of all, perform Spirituals for
adults as well as children. ”
Dallas Momins News (Feb. 6, 1994)
New Arts Six was founded in 1986 by six Dallas-based African American women
who saw a need to revitalize the musical legacy of African Americans. They will
present “A Joyful Noise”, a production set at the turn of the century, with six women
recounting their joys and sorrows through songs, Spirituals, and poetry.
Partial funding for this program is provided by a grant from the Texas Commission
on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Additional support for the program has been provided by the B/CS Eagle, the Texas
A&M Department of Multicultural Services, and the Texas A&M Chapter of Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Referendum
Continued from Page 1
Mayfield said yell-leader run-off elections
are a tough issue because the Student Senate
does not actually have the authority to change
a student organization’s constitution. He said
the yell leader constitution does not allow for
run-off elections.
However, the Election Commission, a
branch of Student Government that imple
ments the rules for the elections, does enforce
run-offs for several organizations without
such provisions in their constitutions, most
notably, the class councils.
If the commission implemented run-offs for
yell leaders, they would have to abide by the rules
or carry on their own elections.
Chris Reed, speaker of the Student Senate
and a senior finance major said the petition

"I voted for the referendum, and l suppoi

Plagiarism

“We’re very careful about not
selling copyrighted material other
than what we put together,” Justitz
said. “We reword questions and
state problems differently.”
The Quantum Cow focuses on
teaching students the material in
stead of just providing answers and
solutions to problems assigned in
class, Justitz said.
“We don’t give students short
cuts,” she said. “We teach them how
to work the problems.”
A+Plus tutoring and 4.0 & Go,
two of the most popular off-cam
pus tutoring services, were un
available for comment.
Oberhelman said the plagia
rism issue had not surfaced soon
er because the Faculty Senate
committee has been working on
its recommendation.
“It is a matter of timing,” he said.
The complaints were brought up
last spring by staff in various depart
ments. A detailed committee report
was then formed to ensure complete
understanding and clarification.
Oberhelman said the report
took nine months of work to get
to this point, although he would
have liked it to have been avail
able sooner.
The next step is attaching a
copyright symbol to the actual
notes, Oberhelman said. This
eye-catcher would help prevent
any misrepresentation.
According to the University Reg
ulations handbook, scholastic dis
honesty can result in an "F” in the
course, letter of reprimand, con
duct probation, expulsion in ex
treme cases or a combination
punishments.

Rec Center
Continued from Page 1
The most popular day to work out at the Rec
Center is Monday, anytime from noon to late
evening. If waiting for equipment seems less than
interesting, Sunday is the least popular for students.
Judy Cook, the Recreational Center Market
ing Director, said students are changing their
exercise methods.
“Students are now going to the outside pools
more than they work on inside activities,” Cook said.
The New Year coincides with some students’
desires to get ready for spring and get into shape.
Business has picked up slightly since last se
mester, but senior associate director Tom Re-
ber said it could slack off in later months.
“All health clubs pick up business because of
New Year’s resolutions,” he said. “College campus
es pick up before spring break, but early spring, as
the students get busier, they attend less.”
The Recreational Center only allows member
students, faculty and their spouses to use the fa
cility full-time, but students can sponsor visitors
and pay $5 to work out.
Students who are not familiar with lit
weight room or who just want to learnto
use the equipment can visit the RecCentei
Saturday mornings at 10 to learn howtoust
the machines correctly.
Lynetta Holloway, a freshman biomedical
science major, said working out attheHec
Center is relaxing.
“I work out at the Rec because they toe a
variety of equipment,” she said, "and J’mle
to work out all of my muscles in order fom
to stay in shape.”

In 1962, Dr. Richard J. Baldat
then associate professor
wildlife management, stucftei
pond near Franklin, Texas, abo
40 miles from where the childtfi
discovered the frog. The pond all
contained a large collection off
formed frogs. An estimated 5pe
cent of the pond’s frog populatif
had deformities, ranging from!
legs to misplaced eyes.
Don Clark, head of the Midwf
Science Center Brazos field statit
of the U.S. Geological Survey B:
logical Resources Division, was
graduate assistant who worked!
Baldauf and assisted in the resean
of the deformed frogs. He is nowr
sponsible for researching the laid
deformed frog.
Many theories have been
fered as to why an increasi:
number of deformed frogs arel
ing found. Some of the mo;
popular theories are relatedtoi!
thinning ozone layer or parasitf
“There is no proof that thecoi
dition of these frogs is the result’
anything but the constant inco:
sistencies of nature,” Baldaufst
in a 1962 Battalion article.
However, Clark has devised at
ferent theory. He believes fertilize
and herbicides are creating nitrof
buildup which could be responst
for creating the deformities.
Deborah Cowman, a gradut
student and wildlife biologist,! 1 '
assisted Clark with his reseat
and agrees with his theory.
“Looking back on it, most
the sightings of these types
frogs were on farm ponds,” 0
man said. “Many of the
ponds received fertilizer run'
and herbicide runoff.”
The pond where the frog"
found showed signs of herbid 1
use and over-fertilization. In^
dition, the area above the
is a cattle pasture, which cotj
easily produce fertilizer runol
If chemical runoff is responj
ble for causing the deformitil
people could be affected as wf|
Clark said.
“It presents a problem
anyone concerned abouttW
well water becoming contain 1
nated,” he said.
The contamination is
potentially harmful for
animals in the area. Damage 1
the ecosystems of the frogs
another strong possibility tl 11
would have long-term effects'
the environment.
