Anthrax
Continued from Page 1
anthrax constitute different symptoms. The following guidelines
also are from the Texas Department of Health:
• Initial symptoms of inhalation anthrax infection may resemble
a common cold. After several days, the symptoms may progress to
severe breathing problems and shock.
• The intestinal form is characterized by an acute inflammation
of the intestinal tract. Initial signs of nausea, loss of appetite, vom
iting and fever are followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood
and severe diarrhea.
• The cutaneous form of the disease begins with itching at the
site of the exposure, followed by the formation of a round, pimple
like sore. This sore will then form a blister which, after two to six
days will become a hard, black scab.
Student Senate
Continued from Page 1
proposal, it is being collected
again because a more efficient
and better way of conducting the
research was established.
“We looked at 24-hour spots
and noticed how they were being
underutilized, and this was
occurring during the evening
hours when students need to be
as close to campus as possible,”
Pearson said. “We can’t force the
change; we can only give our
recommendation. Hopefully,
Faculty Senate and PTTS will be
in agreement with us.
Pearson said that although
more parking is being added, it
is located far from campus and
is not helpful to students in the
evenings because it is unsafe
and time inefficient.
Senators also discussed the
possibility of extending out
bound dining services to off
campus restaurants.
“Senate has progressive ideas
that obviously we have to investi
gate,” Pearson said. “We are just in
the preliminary stages of expand
ing the outbound services.”
Pearson said that restaurants,
such as McDonald’s, Wings N’
More, Subway, Whataburger
and Jack in the Box will be con
sidered as possibilities for
expanding the meal plan
options.
Kevin Capps, external affairs
chair and a sophomore history
major, said that if this is some
thing students want, then they
should show their support by
suggesting restaurants that they
would like to include in the
Outbound option.
“Students like to eat off cam
pus,” Capps said. “We want to
help them in a way that can ben
efit everyone. Businesses will
benefit by increasing patronage,
benefit the University by mak
ing additional revenue on meal
plans and the students by giving
them more options.”
Student Body President
Schuyler Houser, in her report to
the senators, encouraged them
to talk to the administrators and
get student input about the
excellence fee that is being pro
posed by A&M President Dr.
Ray M: Bowen. The excellence
fee will charge new students
coming into A&M a $30-per-
credit-hour tuition fee to help
cover the $6.2 million budget
deficit that occurred this year.
“I can’t express to you how
important the excellence fee is,
this is a really big deal for the
University,” Houser said.
Other official business at the
meeting included an Aggie
Alcohol Awareness Week
Resolution and a resolution of
Condolences to the University
of Wyoming, where on Sunday,
Sept. 18, 2001 eight student
athletes were killed in a car
accident.
