So we're studying the
quantum physics of
electrons in Chemistry
this week.
And your
point is?
Well, no one in my class really
understands how electrons can
appear to be in different places
at the same time. I'm the only
one who gets it. So
my Prof asked how I
understood electrons
so well.
I told him I
have one living
in my dorm.
rr:
Okay, if you grab him. Til
shoot him four or five times
with the tranq gun. That
should calm him down a little.

Blood

complete the procedure and there hasn’t been a wait
this week. Coats said. Members of APO, a co-ed
national service fraternity, assist The Red Cross by
walking students through the first steps. Students
are asked to register and flip through a handbook.
“I really enjoy working with the blood drive each
year and feel that it is a great way for our school to
give back to the community,” said APO member and
senior ag development major Tim Davis.
Students are then escorted inside to have their
blood pressure and temperature taken, make a dona
tion and receive juice, cookies and a free T-shirt. The
minimum requirements are that you feel well, are at
least 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds. One
pint of blood is taken from each donor, and each pint
can save the lives of up to three people.
“This was the first time I have given blood,” said
freshman animal science major Francesca Falcon.
“I was really happy to do it, and I do not understand

“Service providers can no
longer guarantee the anonymity
of their providers,” McCabe
said. “I encourage you to avoid
this predicament altogether and
not to engage in file sharing,”
All the panelists warned about
the dangers of downloading and
uploading because it opens up the
whole computer hard drive to
skilled hackers. McCabe said
when students install software,
someone could get enough infor
mation for identity theft.
“Most of you are working on
some form of intellectual proper
ty — term paper, thesis — how
would you like it if I started sell
ing it at the University of
Texas?” Carter said. “Not only
are you opening your computer
to movies and music, but as your
whole computer opens up there
is a vast annihilation of privacy.”
Because the majority of pirat
ing goes on internationally, par
ticularly in Asia, Russia and
Eastern Europe, Congress is
working for more enforcement
of international copyright law
through trade agreements.
Educating the public about
the dangers of Internet pirating
will help solve this large scale
problem, Carter said.
As downloading movies
becomes more popular, the
MPAA has four important prin
ciples to relieve the problem.
“We need to educate people
so they understand that intellec
tual property is property, devel
op technology that makes it
inconvenient to reproduce and
redistribute, market in a way
that makes options attractive,
and enforcing consequences,”
Attaway said.
Carter said companies do not
like the idea of going out and
“getting people.”
“Companies just wish that
people would quit because they
are in the popularity business,”
Carter said. “When we started
this, no one was cooperating, but
now universities are and this is
helping a lot.”
The panel was hosted by the
MSC E.L. Miller Science and
Technology Committee, the
MSC Film Society, MSC Town
Hall and the MSC Wiley Lecture
Series.
why there is such a decrease in donors.”
The 1999 Aggie Bonfire collapse increased
awareness for many A&M students, resulting in a
high number of blood donations. Coats said. People
realized the importance of blood donation during this
time, and they gave to commemorate the tragedy, he
said. The more time that passes since the Bonfire col
lapse, Coats said, the less people give blood.
“If students stopped giving at this moment, in
less than a day we would have no O type blood, and
in less than two days we would not have any blood
to give to hospitals,” Coats said. “Blood products
are as important in emergency rooms as scalpels.”
The American Red Cross provides half of the
blood in the United States in a given day, he said. The
Red Cross team located on campus is the primary
blood supplier for Brazos County hospitals, and all
blood received this week will help local hospitals.
Blood can be donated at various locations on
campus including Sbisa Dining Hall, Commons
Lobby, Rudder Fountain, Zachry, Wehner and the
Biochemistry and Biophysics building. The blood
drive will continue through Friday.

T-TEEM is run by speci

His success built his coni

One T-TEEM program in
