Health Services needs more funding, resources to better serve students. 16BTW& Student Health Services is one of the most vital services that Rice offers, yet students who need to be seen by a doctor frequently discover that no openings are available until later in the week. True, Health Services does make every effort to see students as soon as possible and will find ways to squeeze in those whose medical condition warrants immediate attention. But they don't always succeed in seeing everyone in a timely situation. This problem is compounded by the fact that doctors are in only on weekdays, and that they do not work normal hours during such holidays as midterm break. "Hie two doctors and their staff do an excellent job considering the limited resources that they have, but Rice students need more. Maintaining one's health is one item that should be near the top of everyone's priority list, yet Rice's most important service is offered only during typical office hours. It a student becomes ill on a Friday evening or over break, he or she has to either tough it out until Health Services opens or pay big bucks to obtain LETTERS TO THE EDITOR treatment elsewhere. Knowing how cash-strapped many students are, it is logical to assume t hat the majority would choose to wait for Health Services even if it means n honors to conform that they will become much sicker before getting treatment. Many administrators? say that the well-being of students is their top priority II that's true, then they need to allocate more of their budget to to Rice education Health Services so that the doctors there can provide the services that Rice needs.

Nick Tthilis Architecture Writer

It's an impressive sight on the Inner Loop — workers climbing up and down scaffolds and running heavy machinery. You can hardly walk to class without hearing the sounds of construction. Cranes The Computational Engineering Building, in an 1994 architect's rendering and as it looked on Monday from the same angle dominate the skyline, and the site seems to generate more noise than Sid Richardson College on Friday afternoons. Over the next few months, the skeleton we see nqw will take shape as new classrooms, I labs and offices. Meanwhile, two other construction sites will join it. The major points where construction is occurring, or where it soon will be, are next to the Engineering Quadrangle at the site of the new Computational Engineering Building, on the Inner Loop between Herring Hall and Alice Pratt Brown Hall at the future home of the Baker Institute for Public Policy, and in the area between Anderson Biological Laboratories and the Keith-Wiess Geological Laboratories, which will be the site of the new nanotechnology building. Computational Engineering Building Construction of the CEB began in January 1994, and it is scheduled for completion in July 1996, which would make it ready for use next fall. Despite early foundation problems, construction is proceeding right on schedule, according to Bill Tomlinsort of Facilities and Engineering. The western half of the building is being erected first, and the superstructure on that side is nearly complete. After the eastern half is built, precast concrete pieces of the outer structure will be put into place; the skin should be complete by the end of December. The final structure will be four stories tall with the top floor being used as an attic. :"|IJ The architecture and design of the CEB is a far cry from the other buildings on campus. The building witl be faced in five different colors Of brick, each of which has already been used on other campus M buildings, layered in horizontal strata. The concrete columns on the Computational exterior will be topped by black capitals.

There may also be additions to the Student Center .. The new buildings' architects — John Outram for the CEB, Anton Predock for the nanotechnology building and Thomas ' WA Beeby for the Baker Institute — mark a move on the pan of the Board of Governors toward more well-known architects for Rice buildings. That trend started with the selection of Cesar Pelii for the 1983 campus general plan. The results have been mixed Pedi s Herring Hall gained national recognition; George R Brown Hall and Alice Pratt Bsown Hall are considerably less :Sl distinguished. Mrthirnt gem . Outram and Predock are both known for being innovative, and i? n n n Si s the buildings reflect that.
