Huang said she wanted to build a health center
to tit the student population’s needs.
Sean Huntsman, Class of 2000, also designed a
model and found the task difficult but equally
rewarding.
“Given the chance to help bring improvement
in the A&M health care system will be very bene
ficial to both (this) class, student body and the fac
ulty of Texas A&M,” he said.

“The Student Health Services staff has enjoyed
working with these enthusiastic architecture stu
dents this summer,” said Dr. Linda Lekawski,
D.O., director of Student Health Services. “They
have been all over the Health Services Building
seeking and receiving suggestions and input from
the student health service’s staff members.
“They are proposing some wonderful ideas that
would greatly impact our ability to serve patients.”
There will be no winner chosen tomorrow at
the MSC, rather just a display of the student
projects.
All students are welcomed and encouraged to
attend the displaying, Mann said.

Continued from page 1
“that’s right” and “yes as Bush
spoke.
“It is a constructive approach
to improving public education.
Bush said. “We’re interested in
aiming toward excellence for
every child, and the voucher
system is a part of the strategy.
While campaigning for presi
dent, Bush proposed stripping
federal funds from the worst
performing schools and making
them available to parents for pri
vate education vouchers.
Congress wouldn't go along,
and Bush instead signed an edu
cation overhaul that increases
federal aid to public schools
where scores have failed to
improve two years in a row. If
scores were to remain too low,
low-income students could
receive tutoring or transporta
tion to other public schools.
Bush said the program could
help the 4.5 million students
now in schools identitied as
underperforming.
He also spoke in favor of his
new try at a federal voucher pro
gram, part of his “compassion
ate conservative” domestic
agenda. It would offer a $2,500-
per-child education tax credit
for families whose children
attend private schools instead of
failing neighborhood public
schools. The five-year, $3.5 bil
lion proposal also would cover
books, computers, transporta
tion and supplies.
Critics say voucher systems
drain money from public schools
and too often end up supporting
religious education as opposed
to alternative secular institutions.
“There’s nothing compas
sionate about forcing Americans
to support religion,” said the
Rev. Barry Lynn, executive
director of Americans United for
Separation of Church and State.
“There’s nothing conservative
about requiring people to pay
for religious indoctrination they
don’t believe in. Religious
schools and other ministries
should rely on voluntary contri
butions from believers, not
involuntary donations extracted
HHRfl
from American taxpayers'
Bush suggested the Sr-
Court’s decision on Cleve
voucher system could k
transforming effect sin*
that of the unanimous de.
in Brown v. Board of Edit
of Topeka, Kan., that im K
the nation’s schools.
“The Supreme CoJ
1954, declared that our 53
could not have two edd
systems, ... one for Afn
Americans and one foruf
Bush said. “Last week.;]
notable and imponant, is
the court declared tha;
nation will not accept one
cation system for thosewt
afford to send their childre
school of their choice air
those who can’t.”

1997 and the 1999 Mars Polar Lander science team.
Lemmon hopes to facilitate scheduling of
images such as nighttime pictures of Mars’ moons,
Phobos and Deimos, including photos of forma
tion of morning fogs on Mars and shots of Phobos
eclipsing the sun.
When looking at Mars, most people see a dusty
atmosphere, Lemmon said. Knowing where the
dust is helps scientists understand Mars’ weather
and climate, since atmospheric dust plays an
important role in heating the planet's atmosphere.
“It’s a practical thing to study the dust,”
Lemmon said. “Most people use a red lamp to
study it and we know it has a rusty colored sky. It
is important to study the minerals which may have
created a different climate.”

Houston.”
North also said the findings
will help in researching vege
tation.
This information can be used
as input for air quality models
run at UH to simulate conditions
impacting pollution in Houston.
The project is concerned
with how well it represents the
atmospheric conditions with
which they are studying.
The same computer pro
grams are widely used to model
weather and climate. North said.
