He listed overcrowded student parking lots, lack of walkways and the drainage problem at the field house as high priority items. Landscaping and repair of the high school football field were rated somewhat lower. Several local clubs have offered to donate plants and trees to the four campuses for land scaping. Fite)) suggested that a)) necessary construction should be completed before the landscaping is begun. Problems also exist with regular maintenance. Jim Cole, assistant principal at the high school, said a leak in the library roof is preventing contractors from completing the laying of the new carpet. Several books have also been ruined, he said. A $120,000 Permanent Mainte nance Fund had been established for the school district to pay for such repairs, but school authorities were not sure if they had to contact hoard members to authorize them. The district must take bids on re pairs, hut Fitch said the school “doesn’t necessarily have to go through the hoard or the superin tendent, a)t)iough we would like to know about it.” He suggested that the money in the fund he allocated to each of the four schools either in equal shares or according to each school’s needs. Cole pointed out that schools used for community education classes would need more maintenance money “because of the wear and tear.” 61, saidl had under? dilations arJ “up to the| ii.” mer cong hairman, djiy. •etor, hasrlf li for Pres:| ’ashingtonfti campaign-ib nd require® lent," Be- r- : can coif* with a sir m get the: 1 e foil (of I bey wouldrj arters in I 4ELP EVE URTt Texas Instruments BACK-TO-SCHOOL SPECIAL 10% OFF ALL ml Texas Instruments CALCULATORS piiiiiiiimimimiimmmimimmimiimiiiiiiiMiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiFiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimii^ University Book Stores NORTHGATE 409 UNIVERSITY DR.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, which disclosed the situation Tuesday, told the society it should stop the practice until the safety of the dye — Red No. 40 — is determined. The society disagrees. A spokesman said suckers of various colors have been sold in some areas “by highly motivated people, people dedicated to conquering cancer. Some of them may have had Red 40, some of them may not.” “Until Red 40 is declared by the FDA to be a danger to public health, its continued use in manufactured products is perfectly proper,” the spokesman added. Red 40 is the second most widely used food coloring in the United States. It is sanctioned for use by the Food and Drug Administration and is entering the food supply at the rate of about 1 million pounds a year in such things as soda pop, frosting mix, ice cream and candy. “It is highly irresponsible for the Cancer Society to use a pro motional gimmick that contains a dye that is suspected of being car cinogenic,” CSPI said in a letter to society executive vice president Lane Adams. “The ACS should immediately discontinue the distribution of the lollipops and join with others who are urging the Food and Drug Administration to place a total ban on the use of Red No. 40 until its safety is established beyond a doubt,” it said.
