IN BRIEF
Malaria threat emerges
in Tsunami zone
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — Health
officials plan to go door-to-door and
tent-to-tent with mosquito-killing
spray guns beginning today to head off
a looming threat that one expert said
could kill 100,000 more people around
the tsunami disaster zone: malaria.
The devastation and heavy rains are
creating conditions for the largest area
of mosquito breeding sites Indonesia
has ever seen, said the head of the aid
group anchoring the anti-malaria
campaign on Sumatra island.
FBI computer overhaul
hits another snag
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A $170 mil
lion computer overhaul intended to
give FBI agents and analysts an instan
taneous and paperless way to manage
criminal and terrorism cases is headed
back to the drawing board, probably at
a much steeper cost to taxpayers. The
FBI is hoping to salvage some parts of
the project, known as Virtual Case File.
But officials acknowledged Thursday
that it is possible the entire system, de
signed by Science Applications Inter
national Corp. of San Diego, is so inad
equate and outdated that one will have
to be built from scratch.

mudslide survivors
LA CONCHITA, Calif. — Authorities
ended the search Thursday for victims
of the deadly mudslide and warned
residents not to return to the town be
cause of the danger of another col
lapse. The death toll stood at 10 in the
beach community devastated by Mon
day's torrent of dirt and trees, and
everyone on the list of missing people
had been located.

EMU: Master Plan details
use of union in next 25 years
Continued from page 1
In addition to student building
fees, donations could be collected,
a state loan could be requested or
the students could tax themselves,
Miller said.
The EMU administration has
avoided asking the state for mon
ey because the EMU would have
to become “extremely, heavily re
tail-oriented” in order to pay the
debt, Miller said.
“That’s just not philosophically
what the students want out of their
union,” he added. In addition, the
revenue raised from retail wouldn’t
be enough to pay the debt.
Under the new plan, the Women’s
Center and Craft Center would have
received even more space.
“We’re still feeling cramped,”
said Garner Britt, assistant coordi
nator of the Craft Center. “We’re
thrilled (about the expansion), but
it’s a Band-Aid.”
“As long as oppression is a prob
lem for women, we’ll always need
to be building and expanding,”
O’Brien said.
These two offices are the lucky
ones. There are many other resi
dent groups and services in the stu
dent union that could use space,
but won’t get it for some time.
“The EMU is not configured in a
way that studnts like to use contem
porary unions,” Miller said. The
building is too small and confusing,
he added.
“In some places (internal systems)
were 55 years old,” Miller said.
Junior Brandon Rhodes, vice
chairman of the EMU Board of Di
rectors and chairman of the Long
Range Planning Committee, said
the EMU Master Plan is something
that the board “invested a whole
lot of time and money in.”
“I do believe that students need
a better building,” Rhodes said.
He added that the east portion of
the building, an addition that was
built onto the original building in
the 1970s, has ceiling leaks and
problematic ventilation.
The process of developing the
Master Plan involved talks with
professional architects and studies
of which enhancements were ap
propriate in an 18-month process,
Miller said.
“(The Master Plan) is what we
found met our ideal when we tried
to guess how will students want to
use their union in the next 20 to 25
years,” Miller said. “It’s a slightly
bigger union; however, it’s a much
more efficient use of space. ”
In the meantime, the building is
being improved section by sec
tion. Upstairs, the EMU HVAC, or
heating, ventilation and air-condi
tioning system is about to get
more than $1 million
in maintenance.
“Available money allows us to
retrofit this building in the
interim,” Miller said.
Miller said EMU administration
had delayed maintenance on
the building’s east portion be
cause it was reluctant to spend
money on components that it ex
pected to completely replace.
When it became clear that the
Master Plan would be put on
hold, student union leadership
had no choice but to address
the deficiencies.
“The students need a building
that works,” Rhodes said. “This is
going to be an interesting struggle
for students to get the funding,
and we don’t know if we will. The
future is not certain.”
