The service is for students look ing for apartments, roommates or who wish to post themselves as po tential roommates on a Website. Jennifer Mc Creary, assis tant coordinator of Off Campus Student Ser vices, said the project has been in the works for 18 months. “Now that the database is available, students can find hous ing or roommates at any time,” she said. Students can log on to the Web site to find roommates or housing options in the Bryan-College Station area. Some factors used to narrow the hous ing search include square footage, rent per month and amenities. Links to apartment properties and their Websites also are avail able through Aggie Search. McCreary said the Website should help students find housing or roommates who fit with their daily routines and schedules. “This system is beneficial to students who are looking for housing and roommates,” Mc Creary said. “We [Student Aggie Search Dff Campus Student Service Website -find housing or roommates -coffee 6 danish hour @ Blocker Bldg. 9-10 a.m. http://stulife.tamu.edu/ocss their ule, than them ROBERT HYNECEK/Tiu Battalion Services] can work around sched- rather making come into the office and fill out forms.” Students previously had to go through the Office of Student Life and fill out forms to find roommates or hous ing.

That’s all it real ly was, and now it has been cor rected.” Swift said producing the Ag gieland is a year-long process that takes a lot of time and commitment from all involved in the production of the book. “It is a full-time job for our staffers,” she said. “We work crazy hours. If we are not in class or studying, we work on the book. Our ’99 staff was really dedicated, and everybody put a lot of effort in [to] producing this book. “Eighty to 90 percent of our staff returned, which says a lot about the Aggieland. ” The Aggieland is the largest yearbook in the nation with a cir culation of 10,000. Swift said the yearbook will be entered in the Pacemaker competi tion, a national competition for university newspapers and year books, in July, and the Best-of- Show competition in Atlanta. “There is no doubt in my mind that the ’99 Aggieland is probably the best [year] book that has ever been produced here,” she said. Yearbooks can be purchased for $37.89 for those who did not choose the option when registering. The books will be on sale in 015 Reed McDonald and can be paid for with cash, check or credit card. don’t feel safe here.” Brent Paterson, director of the Department of Student Life, said the University has worked to cre ate a safe environment for all stu dent. If students engage in acts of vi olence based on race, gender, or sexual orientation, they will face stiff penalties she said. Boyle said she plans to press charges against her assailant.
