Page 10 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1978 Attention all off-campus students Hassle-Free is recruiting reps Oil cleanup on French provides "lab’ to study coasl spill By MARTHA HOLULDA Are you an off-campus student who wants to become involved? If so, you might consider being a Hassle-Free respresentative. During Hassle-Free week (next Monday through April 22) students interested in being a representa tive can become acquainted with the program and sign-up to be a worker for next semester. Representatives work in the apartment complex where they live. Judi Wooten, Hassle-Free coordinator said that representa tives distribute information about on-campus activities, act as a ten ant adviser and help people with questions pertaining to off-campus living. A Hassle-Free representative must have a 2.0 GPR, live off- campus, have an interest in work ing with people and have time to give, said Wooten. A display will be in the lobby of the MSC throughout the week. On Thursday and Friday current rep resentatives will be at bus stops and in the lobby of the MSC to talk to interested students. epr sle newsletter once a month for off- campus students, which contains safety tips, upcoming campus events, budget hints and informa tion about services provided by Hassle-Free. Presently there are between 40-50 representatives. Most of them are from apartment com plexes but a few are representa tives at large, who cover a particu lar housing area. Students interested in being a Hassle-Free represetative can come by the office, located in Puryear lounge or call 845-5013 or 845-1714. The world s worst oil spill is serv ing as “a fascinating laboratory” for learning to handle the disasters, said a Texas A&M University professor. Dr. Roy Hann Jr., a civil engi neering professor has observed con ditions and cleanup of the Amoco Cadiz spill. The U.S.-owned super tanker released more than 200,000 tons of oil on France’s Brittany coast. Chances are slim that the Amoco Cadiz spill will remain the world’s largest, he said. “The risk is present as long as we ship oil,” commented Hann, who is planning a second trip to France for studies of cleanup operations. “In time there will be others, as bad or worse.” A great deal of imported oil comes into the United States through Texas ports. Not only was the Amoco Cadiz the largest single spill recorded, its volume almost matched that of the 49 others spills last year. They to taled 213,000 tons of oil. Hann placed additional perspec tive on the Amoco Cadiz grounding, breakup and spill. He said the oil that went into the water and onto 110 linear miles of resort beach. • •••«••• •• • SPfft*V AMO • • HUTCHINSON • H •• •••••• •• | * .SPIN ft V AMO * Swiff Profen ROUND STEAK Swift Proten RUMP ^ '' Royar Heart USDA Grade A + P«elc TURKEY *^ lb . 69* FRVERS .wg. ib. m Jm i ^ _ Neuhoffs Smoked 45 12 02. pkg. 1 ,b - % Armour Star SM0KIF WIENERS Armour Star GRILL DOGS .
