I the graduate classes represent
jdership potential.
“These students will develop
adership skills to be used for
service,” Deere said. “ (Pres-
lent) Bush sets an example for
|ese students.”
One of the graduate students in
charter class is Jesse Czelusta, for-
iResidence Hall Association pres-
|nt. Czelusta said as an undergrad-
ite student he focused on
inomics, but now his focus will be
jeinteraction of the public and pri-
f sectors.
Czelusta said he hopes the gradu-
ischool develops a stronger intel-
ctiial community at Texas A&M.

when you are

over ditches.”
Williams said the fund
ing for the archway was in
cluded in the library park
ing garage funding.
Williams said the
garage should have 640
spaces, and about 300 to
350 spaces will be available
for staff and faculty park
ing contracts. The other
250 to 300 spaces will be
available to visitors. He
said students will not be
able to buy parking con
tracts for this garage.
Williams said there will
be a cashier in the garage
and “pay on foot” equip
ment under the archway.
Weldon Barber, a senior
marketing major, said at
first he thought the arch
way was some type of toll
booth, and students would
have to pay to drive down
Lubbock Street.
He said he under
stands why the University
would want to block Lub
bock Street to protect
pedestrians, but blocking
the road from thru-traffic
will cause traffic problems
in other areas.
“The way traffic flow
is now traffic can’t go
through Southside,” Bar
ber said. “You have to go
around. I think this will
congest Bizzell.”
Alice Gonzalez, speak
er of the Student Senate
and a junior agricultural
development major, said
the first time the present
Student Government
heard about closing Lub
bock Street to thru-traffic
was this summer when
the PTTS advisory com
mittee presented con
struction plans to the Ex
ecutive Council of student
government.
She said she was aware
of student input on the
project in the form of a sur
vey conducted about four
years ago.
Gonzalez said if she did
not know the details of the
plan to close Lubbock Street
she would disagree with tlie
plan because of the heavy
flow of traffic in the area.
“But in terms of future
planning and closing many
on-campus streets to traf
fic, I don’t think that is a bad
thing,” Gonzalez said.
The Coke Street en
trance to Lubbock is
blocked by a gate. Williams
said faculty and staff will be
able to use this entrance to
get to the fdbulty and staff
parking lots in this area.

CIS Produces u One-Stop” Source for Information on Student Computing
Do you ever wish you could find information about student computing in a central, easy-
to-use source? Now you can!
CIS has produced the Student Computing Information Page (SCIP), an indexed and search
able Web site that contains important and frequently requested information on a variety of
issues relevant to student computing. A few examples include: news about computing at
Texas A&M, how to get connected to the Internet from your apartment or dorm, CLAIM—
a program that allows you to claim and manage your computer accounts on such systems
as unix.tamu.edu, answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) from students such as
“How do I get e-mail?”, and helpful documentation for microcomputing applications,
UNIX, Open VMS, and MVS.
SCIP may be accessed at http://www.tamu.edu/scip
Use of Computers in Open-Access Labs Now Requires Labs Login-ID
If you plan to use the computers in the Open-Access Labs, you’ll be required to set up a
Labs Login-ID and password. Once you set up your Login-ID and password, you’ll receive
up to 3 megabytes of home directory disk space on which to store your files.
• If you’re a new student, you can set up your Labs Login-ID and password through
CLAIM, a program that allows you to claim and manage your computer accounts on
CIS systems. CLAIM is available at claim.tamu.edu or from all the computers in the
Open-Access Labs in the following locations: 106 Biochemistry/Biophysics Building,
150 Read Building, 1 33 John R. Blocker Building, 021 Wisenbaker Engineering
Research Center, 1002 Teague Building, and 137 West Campus Library.
• If you’re a returning student who had accounts set up through CLAIM, you’ve already
received a Labs account (with the password being the same as your CLAIM password).
• If you’ve forgotten your CLAIM password and need to reset it, please bring a valid
student ID to any CIS Open Access Lab or to the Network Availabilty Center in the
Teague Building. Please note that once you change your CLAIM password, you’ll also
have to change your Labs Login password through CLAIM.
If you have any questions about computing at Texas A&M, please call Help Desk Central
at 845-8300, view: www.tamu.edu/scip, or send e-mail to helpdesk@tamu.edu.
