Asbestos causes
false alarm
Asbestos was found im
Academic Building earliert-
week, but Les Swick, diretl:
for facilities at the Ail
Physical Plant, said thereisd
cause for concern.
A renovation project on |
first floor of the buij
exposed asbestos materia :
the tile and adhesive be:
stripped from the floor.
“It’s not unusual that tM|
materials might conli'
asbestos material,” Swicksa:
The floor is a solid sufe
and old adhesive rnustti
scraped from it. The adta
must then be treated k
asbestos because it coy:
become airborne, Swicksaic
To be safe and prevent ar,
accidents, Swick said them
vated area was enclose:
signs were posted and renov-
tion workers donned masks::
protect them from harm:,
materials.
“There was nothing to be»
ried about,” Swick said, Id
signs saying ‘asbestos at®
ment’ tend to scare people."
Swick said asbestos isonlfi
problem when the material:
crumbled, because then!

while out-of-state athletes receive $17,716.
North said this amount covers tuition, fees,
books, room and board.
Coaches set standards for their teams and
what their living circumstances must be, such as
the football team’s requirement that each athlete
live at The Tradition for the first two years he is
at A&M.
Football players on scholarship receive a check
each month to cover their room and board, but
after their first two years they are free to choose
how they spend this money, North said.
Cain Hall costs $1,995 a semester while The
Tradition room rates vary from $395 a month for
a two room/four occupancy to $940 a month for a
single room/single occupancy.
North said he believes the switch to The
Tradition will benefit recruiting future football
players and that current members of the football
team have responded positively to the change.
Fees
Continued from page 1
“I do support any student’s
right and ability to tell student
government how they want their
money spent, but the point is, is
everyone getting their voice
heard?” Smith said. “If the
answer is yes, than what’s the
problem?”
Smith said all students can
take advantage of GLBTA and
other organizations their money
funds, and that certain organi
zations should not suffer
because a few people do not
agree with it.
“With a ballot vote, some
good organizations that you
didn’t even know you wanted,
that you didn’t even know exist
ed, might fall through the
cracks,” Smith said.
Maddox said if a group does
not receive a majority vote from
students, that organization
should not be in existence.
“A student should be able to
decide where their money goes
so if students do not value an
organization then they can do
without it,” Maddox said.
Smith said the money
received for GLBTA pays for
service and social purposes such
as the purchase of supplies for
social functions. He said the
organization would suffer if stu
dent funding was taken away.
Allocations of the Student
Service Fee are decided by the
SSFAB, a group of nine students
whose purpose is to make rec
ommendations to the Office of
the Vice President for Student
Affairs in regards to student
fees. Taylor Bacot, a SSFAB
member and senior economics
major, said the organization
allocates fees to organizations
according to what they feel is
important to students.
“We have to decide who
needs the money the most,”
Bacot said, “and we have to
decide what’s more important
for the students.”
the Corps of Cadets Squadra
3, said his career as an ai:
began when he was trying u
make ends meet during te
sophomore year.
“I started off making Tiiit
designs and prints,” he said.1
started to gain recognition amont
the Corps. After that, my an aid
following began to develop.”
Wilson said the gallery li
Depot are aiming to serve asi
landmark for the preservation(f
A&M's culture.
“Students are having to wot
hard to maintain the A&M if
itage,” she said. “Benjai:
artwork focuses on captut,
the spirit of Aggielkid.M
immortalizing our traditions."
Event coordinator Abbey
Ehman, Class of 2003, said tk
event will introduce the gallery
as a cultural center for student
“We want students to briny
their parents and friends to on
gallery because so much of
A&M’s and College Station's cut
lure can be seen here,” she said,

and live musicians.
