News in Brief-
Designs proposed for
eating-disorder clinic
Texas A&M architecture students show
cased 18 designs for a proposed eating-dis
orders clinic Sunday evening in Temple.
Victor and Dawn Montaner brought the
idea for the prpjecUnamed ''The Haven." to
George J. Mann, professor of health facili
ties design in the College of Architecture. “I
often look for real-world projects for the stu
dents," Mann said. “This helped them uti
lize skills that they will need when they, are
out and working.”
After discovering that their daughter had
an eating disorder, the Montaners looked
for a treatment center in Texas.
“We looked for a professional to help her,
but there wasn’t one,” Dawn Montaner said.
“We wanted a specialized care facility. We fi
nally found a place out of state, but it was
$1,300 to $1,500 a day, with a minimum of
60 days, and our insurance wouldn’t cover it.”
Although the Montaners found a more af
fordable center, they wanted to find a way to
help other Texas families deal with the
same situation.
The designs were prepared by the third-
year architecture design studio classes of
Dr. Christopher D. Ellis and Jodi R. Naderi,
assistant professors of the department of
landscape architecture and urban planning.
No official plans have been made regard
ing construction of the center, but the Mon
taners hold various functions to raise money.

think they are safe automatical
ly," LeMay said. “But drinking
and driving do not blend. They
are not safe. Anytime you are
intoxicated, you are more vul
nerable. When you are drink
ing, it is nm Hce. going to the-
Dixie Chicken. You are in an
other country where the tequila
is stronger and where the laws
are different.”
. Eddie Carmon, a Texas De
partment of Public Safety safe
ty education officer, said A&M
has a history of losing students
to alcohol-related fatalities.
“Spring break is the worst
time of the year for drinking-re
lated and drowsy-driving-relat
ed accidents,” Carmon said.
“Every year, we have Aggies
that don’t come back because
they get in the car after they
have been drinking.”
Texas leads the nation in
the number of traffic-related
fatalities and in the number of
teen-age traffic-related fatali
ties, Carmon said. In 1999,
more than 28 percent of dri
ving-related fatalities were al
cohol related.
“These are not places where
we want to be No. 1Carmon
