Pen dents calling EMS services, Van ine sand Cleve said. - THE BATTALION People sometimes delay their calls to EMS, waiting longer before call ing an ambulance because they hope their friend will get better and they do not want to jeopardize the student’s standing with the University, Van Cleve said. But in such cases, by the time EMS arrives, the student has only gotten worse. In other instances, students bypass EMS altogether and transport sick in dividuals to the emergency room themselves. Again, whether the stu dents are on campus or off, an ambu lance could have provided needed service to alcohol-poisoned uncon scious individuals, Van Cleve said. Van Cleve has also heard calls in which someone needing help asks whether a police officer will be sent to the scene and opts not to have an ambulance sent when the dispatcher informs the caller of UPD and EMS’s mutual policy to have officer assis tance in alcohol-related cases. “Our main goal is to make people aware that students can be deterred from contacting EMS,” Van Cleve said. “It’s nothing that’s widespread, but we’re looking for policy changes. We want something to protect stu dents when they are doing the right thing and calling EMS.” Wagner will announce the issue at the Student Senate meeting tonight. The Student Services Committee will address Van Cleve’s concerns in its regular meeting Sunday night. If senators and committee members vote to create a piece of legislation in the form of a bill or resolution, the item will be up for its first reading before the Senate on Nov. 15. anng gni ne who :h-conscit|__ 1 ence Continued from Page 1 J will usiiiMtage in Gore’s campaign, variety offBnedman said Gore favors heeses t; irgeted tax cuts to low-in most as Jome and middle-income i real tir: families and proposes a ly awayftB 10,000 tuition tax credit j cheese g° r C0 R e g e students. rtasteseoM The Gore campaign’s butter sir Website states that Gore wants to use much of the surplus to pay down the national debt and use the money saved on interest payments to shore up So cial Security. Perhaps the most prominent issue in Gore’s campaign is his agenda for prescription-drug insur ance for the elderly. Breaking away from an early Clinton administra tion push for universal health care, Gore has fo cused on a $235 billion prescription-drug benefit to offset most of the pre scription costs for the low er-income elderly. His oth er health care efforts include a push for a pa tient’s bill of rights that would allow negligent health plans to be sued. “We’re electing a new president,” Gore said at the Democratic National Con vention, “and I stand here tonight as my own man, and I want you to know me for who 1 truly am.” suggestdl [ART ;sts arecti Continued from Page 1 tter, easy j e re, and it’s hotter than snot outside, cheesesafljnd you all go into the air-condi- ' sandwicra tioned lounge and you meet every- jtters car. body,” he said. “[With the air condi- ty.

Hart was re- mently made co-ed to give women a ■ower-cost housing option on cam- nus. More females are in favor of re maining at the lower rate because they know Hart’s environment, and | they knew what they were coming Into with the nonair-conditioned all, Blaskey said. “It’s just that we’ve got a lot of acancies, which is what stemmed this all,” Blaskey said. “Not enough people want to live here.” Hart's recommendation, which enables Residence Life to prepare for 2002 and another air-conditioned hall, was well received by Sasse. “We’re glad they realized the im portance of this,” he said. “I know they had a difficult decision and that most of the residents wanted to re main unair-conditioned, however, in the end, air conditioning will draw more people into their hall and allow for a greater unity. This is just what Hart needed.” Construction will begin this sum mer with complete rewiring of the hall. Window units will be installed in Summer 2002, making Hart a ful ly air-conditioned hall for the fall se mester. Current residents will be grandfathered in, continuing to pay the unair-conditioned rate of $642 a semester. Air-conditioned rates for incoming residents will be compara ble with Walton’s current rates of $886 per semester, Sasse said. Sasse said he would have pushed for the air conditioning of Hart, but he examined different options for the hall should Blaskey have re turned a negative recommendation to his proposal. “It’s important that students agree, and we take all of their con cerns into consideration,” Sasse said. “But I have to balance what students want with what the University can provide, and overall, students seem to want a place they can be comfort able with, and more students want the comfort of air conditioning.” Rent from on-campus housing aids in the department’s programs for students. The department was losing money because many stu dents do not want to live in an un air-conditioned hall. In its first se mester of being an air-conditioned hall, Walton had no vacancies. Sasse said he hopes to see the same results with Hart. “Students who want to remain unair-conditioned do have an op tion,” Sasse said. “Window units give individuals the option of turn ing them on.” fHE BATTM vatercoli dth a suf ings we| lones W he TV si| ; Witch n )rd (API as noW :eri ; rsity, W jeas’T stud)# thy itL The Tradition and 103.9 invite you to a remote broadcast and pre-game tail-gate party on the Northgate Promenade behind the Dixie Chicken.
