Lab time card use begun
By Holly Whisenhunt
Reporter
Starting today all TSU students
using the computer labs are required
to purchase computer lab time cards.
After conferences with Univer-
sity administration it was decided
that a fee be established to fund
maintenance and replacement costs
of the computers.
These costs are not presently
covered in the universities operating
budget.
Tarleton's Vice President of
Business Affairs, Larry Bicket said.
"Due to the states bad economy uni-
versities get less funding. Unfortu-
nately the end result is that we have
to find some source to continue those
services."
"The bottom line is to keep the
computers going and in order to do
this we need funds,"Bicket said.
Computers effected by this fee
are located downstairs in the Dick
Smith Library in the Computer Re-
source Center and the ones located in
the Business Building upstairs in the
General lab.
The card costs five dollars and
is worth five hours of computer usage.
For each lab visit students are charged
for a minimum of 30 minutes com-
puter usage, with an additional charge
for each continuing half hour that is
used.
Cards are valid for one semester
and can only be used in the lab in
which it was purchased.
Students excluded from the fee
are those that are presently enrolled
in a CIS course or who have paid a
lab fee. These students will be is-
sued a lab time card, free of charge to
use for their lab work.
Environmental
official speaks
at Tarleton
Staff and Wire Report
In response to the growing wave of ecological
concern embodied in such TSU groups as ECO and
SAVE, the president of Washington DC's Population
Institute will speak on environmental concerns at a
special TSU forum Tuesday, November 6.
President Wemer Fomos, currently on a United
States Population Institute tour, will speak to an ecologi-
cally-concerned audience at 4 p.m. that day in room 118
of the Humanities Building. All students and staff are
invited to attend. -
The Population Insititute is an organization dedi-
cated to presenting a clean, clear, honest image of the
earth and it's condition — population-wise and ecologi-
cally — to the public, whether that condition is good or
bad.
Institute officials said that information Fbrnos will
share at the event may not lie reassuring to concerned
students
The event is jointly sponsored by Tarleton's Speaker
Symposium Committee, Erath County's eco organiza-
tion EARTH WISE, and the TSU environment groups
ECO and SAVE,
Fornos will speak on global warming, environment
damage, population overcrowding, and similar disturb-
ing issues feeing the world in the 1990s.
ECO President Mike Cope said that the event will be
without precedent at Tarleton State University.
"It'll be the first time anyone acknowledges that
there actually is a grassroots eco movement at Tarleton.
It's existed for some time now, and its really growing,"
he said.
The event. Cope said, will also allow ECO, SAVE
and EARTH WISE to pool their resources and take a
visible stand on environmental issues that have been
ignored for too long.
"Werner Fomos is just the man to deliver that
message," Cope said. "We've been admirers of his
insitutute's work for some time now."

Students share favorite Halloween activities
II
Trosper
By Julie GrlUer
Features Editor
Trick or Treating was always
an event looked forward to by stu-
dents in their younger days, as they
dressed up like little ghosts, prin-
cesses, or Yoda and ran from door to
door dragging their parents behind.
College students now must find
other activities to participate in on
Halloween night Recently several
students were asked what they liked
to do on Halloween.
Renee Trosper, a senior govern-
ment major, went out of town for
Halloween.
"I got dressed up and hit some
wild places in Dallas. Then I went
Kirk
and pulled some pranks," Trosper
Slid. "Then I went and saw Rocky
Horror Picture Show again."
Kelly Kirk, a junior agricultural
service; and development major, was
primarily concerned with just hav-
ing a good time.
Kirk said he wanted to go to
Fort Worth and pay somebody to
dress him up then come back to
Stephenville and scare people.
Kirk then said he wanted to go
get candy, "I'm still a kid at heart
anyway."
Kirk was also quite sure he
would go to the bar for some extra-
curricular activity.
Mont e Dirickson, a junior crimi-
nal justice major, said his Halloween
Dirickson
would be full of pranks.
Dirickson said they wanted to
start the night off by stocking up
biscuit dough and eggs and pelting
local trick or treaters. «
Then Dirickson wanted to fin-
ish the night with his friends by going
cow tipping.
"Cow tipping is the fine art of
sneaking up on cows while they are
asleep and pushing them over," Dir-
ickson explained.
Going to haunted houses on
Halloween is Terri Lynn Neeley's
favorite thing to do.
Neeley, a sophomore speech
and communications major, said the
highlight of her Halloween this year
Neeley
was being a part of the SPA haunted
house.
Melissa King, a freshman Eng-
lish/computer major, participated in
a variety of activities on Halloween.
"I went trick or treating in the
dorms, went to the haunted house,
and then to the dog house (Dodge
House)," King said.
Lori Anderson, a freshman pre-
law major, told of her typical Hal-
loween night.
"I enjoy getting dressed up in
and unusual costume and go to all
the parties and haunted houses."
"After all of the haunted houses,
a bunch of friends and I usually walk
through the graveyard where we
King
live," Anderson said. " I enjoy hear-
ing all of the old ghost stories about
the graveyard."
"After that, \ye go around caus-
ing a lot of mischief," Anderson
added,"nothing bad or damaging -
just enough to have fun."
Todd Hatcher, a senior business
major, does different things on Hal-
loween depending on what kind of
mood he is in,
"I like to go to haunted houses
with a girl friend or something,"
Hatcher said,
"Sometimes I jump in the back
of a truck with a pack of guys and go
egg somebody. Maybe dress up like
a spook or something," Hatcher said.
"Actually, Halloween is more
Anderson
or less a watch out for the kids thing,"
Hatcher added.
Eddie Hodges, sophomore en-
gineering major, likes to have water
balloon and egg wars.
"In Meridian, we used get a
bunch of guys in the back of a truck,
and drag through town bombing eve-
rybody with eggs and water bal-
loons," Hodges said.
Jason Stone, a junior agricul-
tural business major, likes to go to
haunted houses and places that are
suppossed to be haunted.
"Last year I wait with friends to
a place like this. We didn't find
anything evil, but we exchanged a
lot of good b.s. stories," Stone said.
