THE BATTALION
Plan
Continued from page 1
dean of the College of
Architecture. “Our campus is
not as organized as some other
campuses.”
One of the main objectives of
the plan is to bring West Campus
together with the main campus.
Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek
Architects, located in Austin, is
working with the University to
plan construction for the campus.
The firm has recommended
building two additional under
passes and developing buildings
closer to Wellborn Road to bring
the campus together.
“We recommended a more
dense campus and a more effi
cient use of campus land,” said
Carl Gromatzky, principal in
Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek
Architects. “The relationship
between buildings and land
scape is an important part of
building a community.”
A life science center is the
only construction currently
planned, Miller said. A plan for
the construction of the center will
be finished by the end of
November and will cost around
$100 million.
Miller said new guidelines for
construction will make the cam
pus more organized and create a
more beautiful, more efficient
campus for students and faculty.
“The quality of buildings
should be the primary
cern,” Regan said. “Guidelines
in the master plan help 1
places where the new buildings
should be built.”
Another part of the m
plan states that buildings
are symbolic to the Universilj
should be protected atallcosls,
The historic core around lilt
Academic Building will espe
daily be preserved.
“The desire to have a ne#
master plan was started before
Dr. Gates became president,"
said Bill Perry, vice provost anti
chair of the Built Environment
Council. “The plan was started
over a year ago. We wanted to
make it so that students can gel
to class easier.”

the Centerpole route buses he rides to campus.
Murphy said he currently leaves his bike on
campus all the time. He rides the bus to and
from school and rides his bike to classes.
Murphy said he would be worried about
people getting impatient with him while load
ing his bike, although that wouldn’t stop him
from using it.
Weis said there have been no injuries to peo
ple or damage to bicycles so far.
“We hope that our customers continue to
make sure the bike is properly mounted on
the carrier and more importantly, make sure
the driver is aware of their presence in front
of the bus when loading or unloading
bike,” Weis said.
Caswell said the Fish Camp route is ide
for bike racks because its users are too far
away to bike to campus and its stopsarei
ly in neighborhoods, not busy streets.
He said other bus drivers agree that
racks would be unnecessary and undesirable for
on-campus routes.
Weis said if usage continues, TS will try
budget for additional carriers next year.
“This is a new concept to the area and we
would like to further evaluate before making
any purchasing decisions,” Weis
“Transit personnel will continue to monitor
and report usage of the bike carriers so we
can make an informed decision whether to
add more or not.”

LULING, Texas (AP) — The
Luling Police Department said it
was continuing its investigation
Sunday into an accident that
killed one member of Luling
High School’s cross country
team and injured three others
who had stopped along a high
way to pray.
Leo Morales, 14, died after
being taken to Edgar B. Davis
Hospital in Luling on Saturday
morning.
Justin Whitaker, 14, was in
good condition Sunday after
being taken by helicopter to
Brackenridge Hospital in Austin,
about 40 miles north of Luling.
Two others — 15-year-old John
Paredes and 17-year-old Dale
Guzman — had minor injuries.
They were treated and released
from Brackendridge on
Saturday night.
The students were among a
group of 10 runners who had
just completed a warm-up jog
when the accident occurred
about 7 a.m. Saturday.
They had stopped along the
shoulder of U.S. 90 to pray, as
they did before every practice
run, when they were struck bya
car traveling on the shoulder ol
the two-lane highway.
Guzman was thrown into the
air after the hood of car hit him,
He had time to say a few words
of prayer before he heard some
one yell, “Watch out!” and the
sound of brakes screeching.
“I don’t know who was driving
... but they must not have been
paying attention, because it
was daylight and they hit us,'
he said in Sunday editions oi
the Austin American-
Statesman.
