Members of Zeta Tau Alpha
sorority will offer shower cards il
lustrating how to conduct breast
self-examinations today from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. at Target and at the
College Station Wal-Mart.
The Texas A&M Theta Gamma
chapter will join 145,000 Zeta Tau
Alpha members nationwide in the
“Don’t Be a Fool, Do Breast Self-Ex
aminations” campaign on April
Fool’s Day.
The event aims to raise breast
cancer awareness through the Su
san G. Komen Breast Cancer Foun
dation and give women a guide to
complete monthly breast self-ex
aminations.
According to the foundation, a
woman dies of breast cancer every
12 minutes, but the 5-year survival
rate is more than 95 percent when
breast cancer is confined to the
breast.
The Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation emphasizes
early detection through mammog
raphy and breast self-examina
tions.
Kristen Lippe, vice president of
Zeta Tau Alpha and a junior fi
nance major, said the she

vices,” he said.
T.J. Edwards said he
wants to work toward de
creasing the existing Stu
dent Services Fee. Ed
wards said one part of
fees he wants to reduce is
the transportation fee by
privatizing the bus sys
tem.
“I think if apartments
can provide their own
shuttle system to campus
for students, then this
would allow for cheaper
cost to students,” he said.
“This would also require
less stops and get stu
dents to campus quick
er.”
Edwards suggested
improving the Borrow-A-
Bike program.
“I think if bikes are
sold at a discounted rate
and we encourage off-
campus residents to bike
to campus, then this
would help alleviate the
problems of parking,” he
said.
Jason Royster said he
disagrees with the $4
University Authorized Tli-
ition increase to fund fac
ulty salary raises.
“I know that the facul
ty need to be paid a sub
stantial wage, but 1 don’t
think raising the stu
dents’ tuition is the prop
er way to go about it,” he
said.
Royster said tuition at
A&M is better than at oth
er schools.
"It would cost me
$20,000 for a private uni
versity in California and
$12,000-13,000 fora pub
lic university, and at
A&M, it costs me $1,500
if I am a resident of
Texas,” he said.
Royster proposed stu
dent fund raisers to help
counteract the tuition in
creases.“We need to have
the full participation and
support of the student body
to alleviate the burden of
student fees,” he said.

time that it is the premier council
for the AMA.
“When opportunity knocks, take
it,” she said. “That was an ex
tremely exciting time. We were dis
cussing biomedical ethics and the
genome project.”
Dickey became the first female
member on the board of trustees.
She said interest in women’s health
care, reproductive issues and do
mestic violence increased, there
was still no obligation to advance
the health concerns of women at
that time.
Dickey said the HIV-activist
movement politicized health care
and was a model for women to fight
for better health care in the 1980s.
“We have made no measurable
impact on the morbidity and mor
tality of breast cancer,” she said.
“AIDS is increasingly a threat, es
pecially to young women of color.”
Dickey said there are still issues
to be dealt with. She said only five
of 126 medical schools have female
deans.
