YThe memorial has to make people experience so many emotions,” she said. “It has to be an experience itself. From the texture of the materials used to the sound made by foot steps made by those walking to and around it, this has to put people through a process that reveals emotion.” Dieter said she took ideas from the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., to help her come up with an abstract idea of her own. “What the artist used for effect at the memorial was the shger number of those who were lost in combat, she said. “One of the things that shocked me the most about that night was the time it took for people to be found or res cued — how long they were buried in the stack before help finally came to them.” Dieter said she will propose a long reflecting pond widi sub merged symbols showing time intervals and important events. designers may choose to locate their memorials at one of four on-campus sites: north of the Clayton Williams Alum ni Center, northeast of the Jack K.

Mold and bacteria can grow back, even if the walls are torn out and rebuilt.” Jim Mathis from the Univer sity of Texas Health Center- Houston said it is hard to cure the sick building because a build ing that contains offices, class rooms, labs and important re search can generate millions of dollars each year and cannot be shut down. Although the conference does not provide solutions to problems such as sick building syndrome, it does put the issue on the table and allows the representatives to share experiences so they can begin to work on a solution. “This is an information sharing conference,” Emery said. “It’s a conference where representatives can share experiences and promote campus safety development.” student groups that raise money from sources other than alcohol Similarites day, J u 1 evident in two affairs WASHINGTON (AP) — America has seen this before: T he silver-haired politician, the naive young intern, the seduction of power, the shifting answers. Echoes ol Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky are every where as Rep. Gary Condit is pressed to explain his relation ship with Chandra Levy, a 24- year-old government intern who has been missing for more than two months. Unlike the Clinton melodra ma, however, the story this time is both weighed down and pro pelled forward by the awful un certainty about Levy’s fate. T he situation’s gravity has not stopped TV comics from milk ing it for laughs, just as the Clin- ton-Lewinsky affair and the long unraveling of its salacious details provided nightly punch lines. Other common threads run through the story as well: Pleas for a zone of privacy; staff mem bers sent out in public without the full story; a stream of addi tional information trickling out oh so slowly. Even a lawyer for key supporting players in the drama is making a remrn ap pearance: Billy Martin, the at torney for the Levy’ family, rep resented Lewinsky’s mother, Marcia Lewis. Condit himself, facing criti cism for failing to be forthcom ing about his relationship with Levy, was among \Lose pressing three years ago for full; sure from the president tails about his affair.

John Welty — president of CSU Fresno and chairman of the alcohol policy committee — said the biggest change would be creating partner ships with the community, including police, to enforce school policies at off-campus events. The trustees also set aside $1.1 mil lion for the plan. CSU currently has no systemwide funding for alcohol ed ucation or enforcement. Adrian Heideman, a freshman at the Chico campus, died Oct. 7 while trying to drink a bottle of brandy at a frat party. Heideman had a blood- alcohol level of 0.37 percent, more than four times the legal limit for driving. At CSU’s San Diego campus, two fraternity-related incidents last year left two students hospitalized for drinking too much. 1974: Arkansas Rep.
