A viral cold among students has
been causing drowsiness sneezing
and coughing. Many students have
also been suffering from a sore
throat severe headaches nasal
congestion sinus pressure and
swollen glands.
Although die illness Is not seri-
ous said Angela Estes director of
nursing the viral cold can evolve
Into strep throat or influenza
both of which are highly conta-
gious. "Luckily wc have not seen a lot
of strep" Estes said.
Student Health Services which
is open from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Is
prescribing several types of medi-
cine to combat the viral cold. The
medication includes a deconges-
tant antihistamine and cough
syrup.
Estes also said handwashing is
students
to get plenty of rest and cat a prop-
er diet. Gargling with warm salt
water In also recommended in
helping with sore throats
"Its hard in close quarters to
remain healthy" she said.
Many of the symptoms of the
viral cold match the symptoms of
severe allergies. The beginning of
spring often flares up many aller-
gies including mountain cedar.
This also occurred toward the end
of last semester with the ending of
autumn.
Although some of the unwell
students visiting Health Services arc
just suffering from allergies stu-
dents are still urged to have their
symptoms checked out instead of 1
waiting to sec what happens.
"I'm hoping that nil of my prob- $
lems arc Just my allergies acting
up" said Cooper Price freshman
computer science major from San
Angclo.

Fair to increase financial aid knowledge
Evtnt with drawings
scholarships could takt
piacc on annual basis
Laura Ngoh
Student Reporter
Danny Sctiawan has always wanted to find
out if he as an international student could
receive financial aid.
Sctiawan sophomore art and marketing
major from Indonesia said he hopes to find out
some answers on Feb.16.
A financial aid fair sponsored by the Student
Financial Services will take place from 10
a.m.-3 p.m. in the Hilton Room at the Campus
Center.
Linda Mullings data control specialist said
the fair Is a chance for students to meet with
financial aid and loan counselors and inquire
about current loans.
About 80 percent of students receive some
form of financial aid. Most of these students
however start applying for financial aid in
March and April Mullings said.
Dy having the fair in February Mullings said
she hopes to "promote early application for
financial aid for the 1999-2000 year" so that
students will get this done and out of the way
by spring break v v v ? t .
Sometimes students fail to turn in all
required forms and this slows down the whole
financial aid process. Mullings said the fair will
make the "whole process of financial aid easier
for students."
Students who take the opportunity to fill out
financial aid forms at the fair will not only expe-
rience a sense of relief but also a feeling of
immense pleasure - If they are lucky.
Scholarship
opportunities should
be more easily
accessible.
- Morgan Switzer
: S
They will be eligible for the drawing of prizes
such as: a $500 scholarship gift certificates for
the Campus Store and two tickets for Reserva-
tions Only.
Bonnie Scott student loan coordinator said
she is excited about the fair. Scott said this fair
is "a service to returning students" and she said
she hopes that students will take advantage of it
becausc'lt is tke. perfect "opportunity to take.
care of business and have a little fun."
. Many students said they are interested in
attending the fair.
Morgan Switzer freshman advertising major
from Corpus Christi said "ACU costs lots of
money so scholarship opportunities should be
more easily accessible. It Is a really good idea to
have something like that."
Rachel Phillips said she believes this fair will
make students happy.
Phillips junior psychology major from
Bloomington Ind. said "Its really good that
they're trying to help upperclassmen with their
needs instead of just trying to attract people to
ACU."
Shajl George does not receive any form of
financial aid and is attending the fair to find out
whether he is eligible for financial aid.
George junior computer science major from
Zambia said the sponsors organizing the fair
are nice to try "to get everyone into the whole
picture."
Students who cannot attend this fair should
not worry because for a period of one month
after the fair a window In the Campus Center
will be open once a week for students to apply
for financial aid. The drawing for the scholar-
ship wilt also apply to them.
This Is the first time the Student Financial
Services is sponsoring such a fair. If students
respond Mullings said the fair Will take place

The Brown Library will experience a major growth
spurt in May with the donation of an 800-book per-
sonal collection from a famous physicist.
At the age of 87 physicist and Princeton Universi-
ty professor Dr. John A. Wheeler decided to donate
his library to a university that will put it to a good use
- and ACU became the benefactor by an indirect
route.
Wheeler said in an e-mail message that he wanted
a school that "lias the get-up-and-go and the savvy to
develop a great physics department but needs most or
all a good library to boost it Into the A-l class."
After working there for 10 years Wheeler said he
gave the University of Texas at Austin "a slug of
books" in 1976.
Upon deciding to donate his entire personal library
he relumed to UT to ask his physicist friends where
they thought would be a good place for it to go.
The friends recommended ACU based on the
Physics Departments reputation.
According to Wheeler "The decision was based
on having a serious program in physics and a proba-
ble lack of adequate library resources."
Marslia Harper library director said "Our Physics
Department lias for some time been known for the
research opportunities we offer to undergrade.
"With Dr. Wheelers books sitting on our shelves It
is my hope that we will be able to offer quality library
research opportunities to physics students as well"
she said.
Wheeler graduated in 1933 with a doctorate in
oretical physics from Johns Hopkins University and
has worked in nuclear physics since 1934.
He is perhaps most widely known for his 1934-
1935 work with physicist Neils Bohr in developing a
theory of fission the splitting of an atomic nucleus
into two large fragments.
Wheeler began his work as a professor with Prince-
ton in 1938.
On May 20 the books will be put into boxes and
placed on a loading platform at Jadwin Hall Prince-
tons physics building.
Anytime between May 20 and June 1 they will be
available.
The shipping costs are up to ACU but according
to Harper "The Campus Store us.es a freight company
tliat has served us very well In transporting two other
major gifts especially since they let) us use their discount."
Time management hey to mrviving stress
Laura Shaw
Student Reporter
Time management may become
an essential tool for many students
attempting to balance hectic sche-
dules of course work and Sing
Song rehearsals.
Late-night practices early-
momlng classes study time and a
social life create a time-consuming
crunch that could use some time
management tips according to two
professors.
Dr. Robert McKelvain professor
of psychology suggested that stu-
dents always take their studies
with them so they can take advan-
tage of those 15-30 minute incre-
ments of time. .
Abo students should study early
in the day not after long late prac-
tices he said.
"Do things In the time of the day
when you're most effective" McK-
elvain said.
"You've got to sleep" McKelvain
said. "Not getting enough sleep
makes everything else inefficient."
He said that most stress for col-
lege students is caused by the lack
of sleep which results in fatigue
Laurie Tcmpleton junior youth
and family ministry major from
Lytic can Identify with McKel-
vain? suggestions.
"The worst part is being up real-
ly late and getting up for class early
the next morning. I get really
tired" Tcmpleton said.
Whitney Sapfenza junior ele-v
mentary education major from
South Portland Maine said she
enjoys being involved in her many
activities but Is still slightly
stressed when trying to fit every-
thing into a 24-hour day.
"I go for live days with no fun
and then have fun on the week-
ends" Saplenza said.
However Saplenza said site was
more than confident that it will all
be worthwhile come performance
time
Dr. Scott Perkins associate pro-
fessor of psychology had one final
tip for the busy college student.
"Treat your time as appoint-
ments and make an appointment
to study" Perkins said.

he said
Davidson said that although
most of the club members were
bought by women some men got
in on the act as well
"One guy was bought to clean a
motorcycle" he said. "But most of
the guys were bought by girls and
most of them don't know yet wlwt
they're going to do"
Davidson said there were sever-
al women bidding on their ex-
boyfriends. And in one case he
said a club member gave money to
a woman to bid on him not know
ing his girlfriend would subse-
quently get into a bidding war with
her.
"Whether you were buying or
not it was fun" he said.
Miller said the club has not
decided yet what to do with the
funds raised for the memorial
fund
