MARINE OFFICER The Battalion c ampus Page 9 • Tuesday, November 10, 1998 Wehner tests new parking system BY MEGAN WRIGHT The Battalion On Nov. 2, the pay lot at Wehn er Business Administration Build ing adopted a temporary prorated parking system. The trial will last until the end of the semester when it will then be decided if the pro rated fee will be applied at addi tional parking areas on campus. During the Nov. 4 meeting, the Student Senate passed a bill, au thored by Peter Schulte, a junior business major, enacting the parking trial run as emergency legislation. “I was working with PTTS (De partment of Parking, Traffic and T-ansportation Services) last se mester and I finally got Sherri Wines and Doug Williams, Associ ate Directors of PTTS, to do a trial run,” Schulte, chair of the parking sub-committee, said. “They agreed to try it, and the main focus was Wehner to start with because a lot of students park there for their class. If they are waiting in line to “It was great to listen to student reactions because Senate was actually saving students money” — Peter Schulte Author of prorated parking bill pay and it goes over the hour, that is another dollar they have to pay.” Currently, the prorated rates at Wehner are one dollar for the first hour and 25 cents for each addi tional 15 minutes. “I thought the committee should try it, but the main concern for PTTS was the fiscal impact,” Schulte said. “It was a concern for them that they wouldn’t have that extra money, but I think that the, difference will be made up because more students would be willing to park in the lot.” Schulte said the process has been relatively easy because PTTS was very receptive to student input. Re actions from students so far, accord ing to Schulte, have been positive. “It was great to listen to student reactions because Senate was ac tually saving students money,” Schulte said. The final decision about parking will be made by administrators of PTTS at the end of the semester. “The system will remain like it is until the end of this semester,” Schulte said. “Then, PTTS will evaluate how much they projected to have for parking and how much did come in.” Lecture series to examine U.S. wars University of Texas professor to discuss military's impact on foreign relations BY MELISSA JORDAN The Battalion Dr. Robert Divine will con duct a lecture series this week on “War, Peace and the United States in the 20th Century” that will highlight U.S. war involve ment in the 20th century and how it will affect foreign rela tions in the 21st century. H. W. Brands, professor of history, said Divine will speak tonight about the United States’ entrance into wars and how the United States has conducted it self during times of war. Thursday’s lecture will dis cuss how the United States has made peace in the wake of war and what this means for future foreign relations. Brands said the lectures will give attendees a better under standing of the efforts the Unit ed States has undertaken in the 20th century to preserve peace around the world. “They’ll (participants) get a perspective on history,” Brands said. “And it will give them a perspective on what they can expect in U.S. foreign affairs in the 21st century.” Terry Anderson, professor of history, said lecture attendants will gain insight into the role of American presidents in promot ing world peace. “The president is the one who is going to be negotiating the peace process,” Anderson said. Brands, a former student of Di vine, said Divine has taught histo ry at the University of Texas for 40 years and is among the most well- known American historians. “He is one of the most distin guished, diplomatic historians in the country,” Brands said. Anderson said Divine has written a number of books about the American history in the 20th Century. “He is one of the leading histo rians of modern America,” Ander son said. “It’s a pleasure to have a man of his stature at Texas A&M.” The lectures will be held in 601 Rudder Tower at 5:30 p.m. to day through Thursday and will include a short question-and-an- swer period after each lecture.
