Student organizations, uni
versity departments and facul
ty will be able to use the center.
The master plan and build
ing concepts will be developed
over the next year and will then
be presented to the Board of Re
gents in May 2000.
The Board passed all agenda
items except one proposal that
would have allowed members
of the A&M system to receive
gifts, donations, grants and en
dowments that have been re
ported to the chancellor.
The proposal will be revised
and reviewed at a later date.
In other business, the Board
approved the following items:
• the establishment of the
Michael E. DeBakey Institute
for Comparative Cardiovascular
Science and Biomedical De
vices
DeBakey, from Houston, is a
renowned heart specialist and
pioneer in many cardiovascular
techniques.
The institute will be housed
in the College of Veterinary
Medicine and will also involve
the Dwight Look College of
Engineering, the Texas A&M
University System Health Sci
ence Center’s Cardiovascular
Research Institute and the
Texas Children’s Hospital in
Houston.
The institute will focus on
research dealing with cardio
vascular disorders in humans
and animals.
• a proposal to go before the
Texas Higher Coordinating
Board to create a program in
applied physics so that the Uni
versity may offer a doctorate
degree in applied physics
• replacement of the MSC
roof because of existing roof
leaks and to prevent interior
damage.
The work on the roof is to
begin in May 2000.
• holiday schedules for the
Texas A&M University System.
For A&M at College Station,
staff holidays listed are:
Thanksgiving, Nov. 25-26;
Christmas and New Year’s,
Dec. 23-31; Martin Luther King
Day, Jan. 17; Spring Break,
March 16-17; and Indepen
dence Day, July 4.
• the naming of three re
search and laboratory facilities
on campus.
The facilities are the Price
Hobgood Agricultural Engi
neering Research Laboratory,
the Texas Instruments Mixed -
Signal Test Laboratory and the
Oran W. Nicks Low Speed
Wind Tunnel.
• the plan to reorganize the
Bush School of Government
and Public Service as a separate
academic unit within the Uni
versity.
The plan will now go before
the Texas Higher Education Co
ordinating Board.

“It is not a glamorous job,
and you don’t do it for the
pay,” she said. “However, my
job is very exciting because I
am in an environment where
we are educating the future
leaders of tomorrow. “
She said that students who
want to prosper in the field
need to check and re-check in
formation.
Carroll, said in 10 years her
major goal is to be happy —
she said her job is not every
thing.
“I want to be able to say at
the end of my day that I did OK,
and that I show love in every
thing I do,’* Carroll said.

“They pull the nose up and try to
turn the plane, and that will cause an
even more violent sensation in the pi
lot,” he said. “So, the tendency would
be to return to what didn’t feel as
bad.”
Lessard said returning the plane to
deep descent will cause the plane to go
in to what is called a graveyard spiral.
“It is called a graveyard spiral for a
very good reason — a lot of pilots
don’t get out of it alive,” Lessard said.
“Eventually, the plane will be straight
down and traveling too fast for a pilot
to fix.”
To counteract this problem, a new
instrument has been developed called
the Advanced Spatial Disorientation
Demonstrator (ASDD).
Pilots work with this instrument to
help simulate environments which
would create conditions similar to that
which would cause spatial disorienta
tion.
Currently, there are only three AS-
DDs worldwide, including one in the
United States at Brooks Air Force Base
in San Antonio.

“This is a guy who we saw with
no hair, lying in bed barely able to
move after brain surgery, and now,
he’s won cycling's greatest race,"
Haussmann said.
He won in Paris by 7 minutes, 37
seconds, and his adopted home
town was preparing to celebrate.
“Sweet. It’s a done deal,” Hauss
