Associate a trial run in 1997 and
approved it.
Since then. The Associate
has expanded to include
over 300 infectious diseases
that can affect humans.
“I hope (The Associate] will
prove to be a good screening
process,” Carter said. “It will
prompt doctors to ask ques
tions they might not normally
ask, such as where people have
been traveling, what their
occupations are and what their
diet consists of.”
Carter said TMI is working
towards designing versions of
The Associate that would
include information for other
animal species such as pet birds,
exotic and large animals.

Students who received citations will not be
charged, Newman said. Those whose vehicles
were relocated specifically for parking in
12th Man lots can pick up their vehicles with
out charge. Students normally receive a ticket
and are billed through their University fee
statements.
Newman said individuals parked in lots
reserved for football games must remember to
relocate their vehicles by 6:30 p.m. on Fridays
before home games. If they are not moved,
individuals will be cited $25 and a towing fee
of $50.
“This one time is kind of like a get-out-of-jail-
for-free card,” Newman said. “This is not some
thing the administration is likely to do again. It
was just for this particular game.”
PTTS officials said the majority of those tick
ets were given to freshmen, the largest group park
ing in on-campus commuter lots.
