Housing
Continued from Page 1
Sasse said, in the press release, that
the study of current housing condi
tions was needed before a plan could
be created for the future.
“Now we know what we’re up
against, and we can devise a way to
deal with it,” he said.
The study rated 14 percent of A&M
housing in good condition, 70 percent
in fair condition and 16 percent in
poor condition.
Karen Fisher, director of facilities
and operations for the Residence Hall
Association and a junior zoology ma
jor, said the study ranked problems to
determine which were most urgent.
She said the study was necessary.
“The survey needed to be done,”
Fisher said. “We knew there were a lot
of problems.”
She said the residence halls are
generally in good condition, com
pared to other universities, but need to
be improved.
“It is a lot easier for [the Depart
ment of ] Residence Life to handle it
now because the problems have been
prioritized,” Fisher said. “Now at least
they know where to concentrate.”
Bowen said housing deficiencies
will become a problem if the advice
is ignored. The Department of Res
idence Life expects to complete a
plan for housing renovations later
this year.

Detective Bill Wade, who is in charge of the investi
gation, said the drawing has prompted some people to
contact UPD and offer possible suspects.
“People have seen [the] composite everywhere,”
Wade said. “We have had four concerned citizens call
in and give us names and license plate numbers.
“However, when the victim was shown pictures of
the possible suspects, she didn’t recognize any of them,
so we haven’t had any new developments."
The man made a threatening phone call to
dent on Oct. 23, 1996.
The victim then saw the unidentified stalker
in the bushes outside of her sorority housen<
Oct. 28, 1996. He was seen once again onOct.31'
in a classroom.
The student last saw the man at Bonfire on Novi
The man has made several other phone calr

Technology

Scarcella said the conference has
given him the chance to talk to oth
er educators.
“I met and spoke with many
other teachers,” he said, “and we
have exchanged information about
the different things we are doing in
our classrooms.”
The conference also included a
presentation by Marilyn Fowler, a
science specialist with the Texas
Statewide Systematic Initiative. She
discussed the design technology
and engineering for America’s Chil
dren Program.
Terrance Raster, a technology
teacher in the Tyler School District,
said the program is great for preparing
elementary-age children for the world
in which they will work.
“This program brings technology
down to the grade-school level,” he
said. “We have seen third-graders us
ing x-acto knives and building bridges.
It is all so neat.”
Kristine Abrahamson, a junior
elementary education major, said
she works with kindergarten chil
dren who use technology programs.
She said it is amazing to see what
children can master in kinder
garten, let alone what they will be
able to do as third-graders.
Greer said the conference targets
classroom teachers all over Texas.
“We want to provide them with
insights as to where the technology
program is going and give them
strategies for their classrooms in
the future,” he said.
Abrahamson said technology
programs help young students
stay ahead.
“This kind of technology will be
beneficial to [elementary] students
because they will start at a younger age
to learn this technology so they will be
one step above the rest,” she said.
