The study conducted by Traffic Engineers Inc. was presented by John Hudson to a joint meeting of the Bryan-College Station city councils. The study includes recommenda tions for updating traffic signs to current highway department stan dards through a sign replacement fund, improved traffic volume regu- altion, and a bridge inventory with improvement recommendations. The plans were conducted on a study of major traffic accident areas iu Bryan-College Station. Hudson said the intersection at Texas Av enue and Villa Maria is a high acci dent area. Specific improvements include a recommendation lor widening the street with de- acceleratibn lanes. Another portion of the study pointed out that the projected traffic volume on Texas Avenue will neces sitate a plan to increase traffic capac ity. The traffic flow from Texas Av enue to the Texas A&M University campus is a major consideration. School traffic problems are also another point of major concern. They include school zone speed limits, necessity of school crossing guards, and school safety zones. Other recommendations for traf fic engineering improvements are a proposed computer signal and communications system. This would allow traffic signals to operate in re sponse to traffic flow, minimizing long periods of waiting at traffic lights. This proposal would require additional technical work;l] 0 , Hudson said this is an consideration. ‘mpKt Removal of some signali downtown Bryan duetolowiu volume also was discussed. Hj said this would be less expd than updating the present system. Additional workshops wfl conducted by both Bryan lege Station city councils too the study and consider the recommendations. r i ■»: Unsaturated fat may harm body Polyunsaturated fats, the cure-all of diet enthusiasts, may not deserve its current appeal. Dr. Barbara O’Brien, a biochemist at Texas A&M Univer sity, is among several scientists tak ing a different view of the benefits of polyunsaturated fats, which propo nents claim help prevent heart dis ease. ame Th< MANOR EAST 3 THEATRES 7:15-9:35 FOUL PLAY 7:35-9:50 UP IN SMOKE “It has its good points and it has its bad points, too,” O’Brien said. ‘There are a lot of unknowns.” All fat is not created equally, but the body needs them just the same.

Plying the body with corn and peanut oils instead of ani mal fats is supposed to knock of fat folds and increase human lifespans. O’Brien and her research techni cian, Cynthia Behelfer, have begun a two-year project funded through the National Institutes of Health to examine how polyunsaturated fats affect the liver’s production of fats. Actually, all fats are essential to the body, she said. The heart, basi cally a muscle, gets all its energy from fats. Also, fat aids in maintain ing the body’s temperature.
