modifications, he said, is partly
due to the planning of the exten
sive and potentially destructive
work needed to accommodate
careful removal of irreplaceable
artifacts in the MSC, such as the
wallpaper in the regent’s board-
room.
During the asbestos
removal, parts of the annex will
be closed to protect against the
potentially deadly asbestos, but
the closed portion will be
sealed and the public is not in
danger, Sippial said.
Asbestos causes asbestosis,
the widespread scarring of lung
tissue, and can result in lung can
cer or accumulation of fluid on
the lungs, according to The Merck
Manual of Medical Information.
Students who regularly study
in the MSC feel at ease knowing
their health is not in jeopardy.
“I feel much safer knowing
there are improvements,” said
Andrew Adams, a freshman
aerospace engineer.
Sippial said the work will take
an estimated eight months and
should be completed by October.
The meeting did not include
discussion of any other issues.
The agenda for the next meet
ing, which could include issues
such as budget deregulation and
deficit problems, will be
announced next month.

said Hans Blix, who heads the hunt for
Baghdad’s biological and chemical
weapons, would address a French proposal
to triple the number of inspectors.
During a visit to Mayport Naval Station
in Florida, Bush told cheering sailors, “I’m
optimistic that free nations will show back
bone and courage in the face of true threats
to peace and freedom.”
“I believe when it’s all said and done,
free nations will not allow the United
Nations to fade into history as an ineffective,
irrelevant, debating society,” he said.
On Capitol Hill, Democratic lawmakers
questioned whether Bush’s focus on Ik,
could hurt the broader war againsttenoi-
ists, particularly Osama bin Laden’s net
work suspected in the Sept. 11, 20(11,
attacks.
“The clear and present danger that we face
in our country is from terrorism and from al-
Qaida,” said House Democratic leader Nancy
Pelosi of California.
