English professor dies
BY AMANDA SMITH
The Battalion
Stanley Louis Archer spent 35
years of his life sharing the works
of great literary artists with his stu
dents. His death was mourned by
friends, family and fellow faculty
members at memorial services yes
terday.
Archer died Friday of multiple
myeloma, a malignant tumor of the
bone marrow, complicated by
pneumonia. He took modified re
tirement in the fall, but was unable
to return as planned for the spring
semester.
Paul Parrish, an English profes
sor of 17th century literature, be
gan working at Texas A&M in 1974,
worked with Archer and will al
ways remember his integrity.
“What many of us will remem
ber and appreciate in Stanley
Archer is his sense of integrity,”
Parrish said. “He was candid and
one knew very much where he
stood on issues. He was very
straightforward.”
Archer graduated from A&M in
1959 and returned in 1962, after
earning his master’s degree at the
University of Mississippi in 1961.
Archer received his Ph.D. from the
University of Mississippi in 1965,
while teaching as an instructor at
Texas A&M.
Parrish said Archer’s feelings for
A&M did not change, from his be
ginning as a student to the end of
his teaching career.
“The University (Archer) retired
from was very different from the
University today,” Parrish said.
“The University has undergone
enormous changes. There was no
waivering in his loyalty. He was
our senior faculty member and re
tained a sense of allegiance to
[Texas A&M].”
In 1970, Archer was tenured as
a full professor. Archer instructed
graduates and undergraduates in
courses including rhetoric, public
speaking and classes discussing the
works of Milton and Shakespeare.
His publications include critiques
and reviews of prominent writers
and poets, short stories and series.
During his teaching career at
A&M, Archer was involved in the
Conference of College Teachers of
English, the Modern Language As
sociation, the National Council of
Teachers of English and Phi Kappa
Phi.
Archer received the Faculty Dis
tinguished Achievement Award for
Teaching in 1974 and the Teaching
Award of Merit for the Texas A&M
chapter of Gamma Sigma Delta in
1969.
Record companies ter
technology to stop pin
]ie Bat tali- 5
NEW YORK (AP) — In a major
move to protect the music industry
from online bootleggers, Five lead
ing record companies are teaming
up with IBM to test technology that
lets people quickly record CD-qual-
ity albums off the Internet.
Computer users can already get
illegal, pirated material over the In
ternet. The test announced Monday
is aimed at thwarting the bootleg
gers by offering better-quality
sound and a wider selection of mu
sic.
“This trial offers an extraordi
nary window on the future of the
music business,” said Roger Faxon,
senior vice president of business de
velopment at EMI, whose music
catalog includes the Rolling Stones,
Frank Sinatra and the Spice Girls.
Beginning in the spring, IBM's
new technology will be tested over
six months by about 1,000 people
in San Diego. BMG Entertainment,
EMI Recorded Music, Sony Music
Entertainment, Universal Music
Group and Warner Music Group
will create an online music store
with more than 2,000 albums for
sale.
The IBM system will allow peo-
ple to download sonp

BY AMANDA STIRPE
The Battalion
Relationships, sex, and health concerns are
among the topics that will be addressed tonight
in the MSC Flagroom from 7 to 9 p.m.
“Aggie Luv Lines” is sponsored by Student
Health Services and is a part of Sexual Respon
sibility Week.
Dr. Mark Sicilio, a pediatrician at Scott and
White Health Services and a human sexuality
professor at A&M, and Margaret Griffith, health
education coordinator for Student Health Ser
vices, will facilitate the event.
A student panel will include: Laurie Nickel,
student body president; Brandon Neff, head yell
leader; Adrian Leday, Pan-Hellenic president;
James LaMarr, a senior construction science
major; and Suzanne Tate, Panhellenic president.
The “Aggie Luv Lines,” based on the MTV
talk show which features hosts Dr. Drew Pinsky
and Adam Corolla leading a panel of guests,
while participants ask sexual questions.
Griffith said everyone is encouraged to par
ticipate in the event and all questions are wel
come.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask
questions personally or through note cards to
protect their identities.
"It is a unique and fun experience,” Griffith
said. “We never quite know what kinds of ques
tions we will get. People do not ask the kinds of
questions like on MTV. ”
Nickel said she is nervous about responding
to questions.
“It’ll be fun, but I’m afraid of what people
will ask me,” Nickel said. “I’m a private per
son.”
Neff, who was a panelist last year, said peo
ple ask the panel about their opinions on cer
tain situations or issues. He said last year an au
dience member asked for advice about
impressing a girl. Neff said hesifWiHg ^
